Britney Spears has obtained a restraining order against former pal Osama “Sam” Lutfi and one-time boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, according to sources.

Britney Spears' mum Lynne has revealed she and her estranged husband Jamie used an argument between her daughter and then-manager Sam Lufti to "start taking charge" of their troubled daughter's affairs.

An attorney for Britney Spears said today that he will not seek an extension for a restraining order against Osama “Sam” Lutfi, but that doesn’t mean the pop star wants her former sidekick back in her life.

Britney Spears' ex-manager Sam Lutfi has agreed to stay away from his former charge for another 30 days.

Britney Spears' manager Sam Lufti and her mother Lynne Spears have gone to war and they're using US media outlets to attack each other.
