Singer Britney Spears’ ex-manager Sam Lufti to stay away longer

Singer and actress Britney Spears' former-manager Sam Lutfi has been ordered by the courts to keep away from the star for a further three months, and lawyers representing Britney Spears and Sam Lufti have agreed to the arrangement.

Sam Lufti’s restraining order against seeing Britney Spears has already been extended once, after it was originally made back in February of this year.

Britney Spears' lawyer Vivian Thoreen agreed that the extension to the order was "in the best interests" of the singer, and Sam Lutfi's lawyer Michael Sands said: "Sam and the family are co-operating and trying to do what's best."

The new extension to the restraining order means that Sam Lufti is not allowed to go within 250 yards (228 metres) of Britney Spears until the end of July.

Britney Spears' mother Lynne Spears had originally applied for the restraining order from a Los Angeles court by alleging that Sam Lutfi had been drugging Britney Spears and taking control of her finances.
