- Oh no. You know how someone is harassing and stalking Lindsay Lohan? The culprit might be none other than Sam Lutfi. Ugh.
As you may recall, Lutfi was Britney Spears‘s “friend” when she was having a meltdown. He was the only person she was hanging out with before she was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold. Britney’s family thought Lutfi was slipping Britney drugs, and obtained a restraining order against him. TMZ claims Lutfi has recently been talking to Michael Lohan, and texting Lindsay, and calling himself “Mike from TMZ.” He allegedly has told LL to distance herself from her mother, and it seems like he is a skeezey troll who preys on young women, separating them from their families — and money — but who knows. More to come, surely. [TMZ]
- Shana Feste, who directed Country Strong — in which Gwyneth Paltrow plays a singer trying to resurrect her career while dealing with addiction — says she was inspired by Britney Spears. Feste also says: “I finished the script when Michael Jackson passed away. I think it’s tragic how we treat people who give us so much, and we love to see them knocked down to build them back up again, to knock them down again. It’s a weird fascination.” [Contact Music]

- Angelina Jolie has purchased an “absolutely exquisite” $400,000 ring for Brad Pitt‘s 47th birthday. The band has each of their children’s names on it, and Angelina’s as well, and it’s a “family wedding band” meant to symbolize that Brad isn’t just married to Angie but to the family as a whole. Sniff! So beautiful. But since Brad & Angie news never comes without something kind of weird, this report claims: “As well as fitting seven names onto the ring, Angelina also requested it be engraved with ‘mystical’ references that are personal to the couple.” That voodoo that you do so well.
