Britney Spears' self-styled manager Sam Lutfi is trying to sell his story to US TV networks now he was frozen out of the troubled singer's life. Lutfi hopes to land a big pay deal from the interview, in which he is expected to reveal the star's darkest secrets (what about his own?). A television insider told a celebrity website:
"He's already reached out to a few of the entertainment news shows. He's trying to broker the best deal."
It comes amid claims Lutfi drugged the chart star and as a result had the power to parade her in front of the paparazzi. While a restraining order has since been taken out against Lufti, Spears' on-off photographer boyfriend Adnan Ghalib has already sold his story to two US television shows.
Meanwhile, a new Rolling Stone magazine interview with Lutfi hit newsstands in the US today (wed). In it he claims to have been making notes for a possible biography on Spears (is going to try and beat Kevin Fedeline's bio?). He told the magazine:
"We've been doing dictation, she's been telling me her story, and I've been writing it all down. It would make a great book!"
Mmmh? If she's been pilling her a** off for god knows how long, I doubt the book makes any sense, let alone has any truth Lufti!!
