Sam Lutfi Agrees to Longer Britney Break
Sun., Mar. 16, 2008 7:34 PM PDT by Natalie Finn
Looks like Sam Lutfi isn't angling to spend spring break with Britney Spears.
The pop star's ex-manager and once-constant companion has agreed to stay away from her for another month per the terms of a temporary restraining order currently in place against him, E! News confirmed Sunday.
So instead of lawyers for the two sides reconvening in court Monday to discuss the Spears family's wish to make the restraining order permanent, a judge is expected to sign off on the extension that will keep Lutfi at least 250 yards away from Britney and her property for another 30 days. The case will be readdressed when that time is up.
A court commissioner granted the restraining order Feb. 1, but Lutfi wasn't served until two weeks later after he managed to duck process servers by holing up in his Los Angeles apartment.
A source also tells E! News that Jamie Spears, who has been overseeing Britney's estate since Feb. 1 and is supposedly keeping close track of who his daughter comes in contact with, has allowed close pal Alli Sims back into the fold—so long as she cut ties with Lutfi, which she apparently agreed to do.
"[Britney and Sims] text all the time," the source said. "Jamie is okay with it."
