By Jen Heger – Radar Legal Editor
Lindsay Lohan and her siblings are being harassed by Britney Spears‘ ex-manager, Sam Lutfi, according to a source close to the situation, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
Lutfi was Spears’ controversial former manager at the height of her epic public meltdown when she lost custody of her children, Sean Preston and Jayden James to her ex-husband, Kevin Federline. Spears was twice committed to a hospital involuntarily while Lutfi was a major player in her life. Brit’s dad, Jamie Spears, got conservatorship of her and obtained a restraining order prohibiting Lutfi from having any contact with her.

Numerous text messages and emails have been sent from Lutfi to LiLo and her siblings in recent weeks.
“Sam is desperate to be in Lindsay’s life and is telling anyone that will listen that he is helping with the actresses’ comeback. This is absolutely false. Lindsay has a team in place consisting of an agent, manager and publicist. She doesn’t want nor need Lutfi in any capacity. Sam has been texting and emailing Lindsay’s siblings as well. Lindsay and her sister and brothers aren’t responding to any communication from Sam,” a source close to the situation tells us.

Lindsay’s dad, Michael Lohan, is acquaintances with Lutfi. In 2010, Papa Lohan told us that, “I don’t know what his deal is, but I told him, ‘Don’t you ever text my daughter again.” Michael also said that Sam had texted Lindsay’s older brother, Michael Jr., stating that “Dina was doing the wrong thing.”
Negotiations are in the final stages for Lindsay to star in a Lifetime television movie about the late iconic actress Elizabeth Taylor and her Playboy magazine cover earned record sales. “Lindsay is telling her siblings to just ignore the texts and emails. They are considering changing their phone numbers,” the insider says.

Sam’s former roommate, Samuel Barth, and his family were forced to get restraining orders against him as well. Barth claimed Lutfi hacked into his Twitter and Facebook accounts, stalked and harassed him, his friends and family, and even tried to give his minor daughter a cell phone.
Lindsay’s rep Steve Honig told us, “Lindsay has never spoken to Sam Lutfi, period.”

Lindsay Lohan In Nanny Lawsuit
Oh Lindsay Lohan, you were doing so well! Can it REALLY be true that you drove your car into a Nanny pushing a baby in a pram?
Okay, so let’s try and get this straight; Lindsay Lohan has finally got herself back on the straight and narrow. She’s been praised by judges, offered the role of Elizabeth Taylor in an upcoming film and been papped looking pretty damn classy on the red carpet.
They always say there’s a calm before the storm, don’t they?
TMZ is reporting that Nubia Del Carmen Preza is nowm suing Lindsay for driving into her way back in September 2010. That’s well over a year ago. We wonder why Nubia didn’t think to press charges at the time?
According to TMZ, Lohan was reportedly seen running a red light in West Hollywood, California, and hitting Nubia, who was pushing a pram across the intersection.
A witness has come forward, claiming that it was a “major hit”. He has also stated that three of the four wheels on the pushchair were airborne and, although the child was crying, it thankfully remained unharmed.
So, guys, why didn’t you ring the police at the time?
The witness has admitted he had no good excuse to keep the information to himself for so long:
“I didn’t want to get involved.”
The whole thing feels a little shady, but we’ll keep an open mind for now and see how it plays out.

It appears Lindsay Lohan isn’t the only starlet in talks to play Elizabeth Taylor.
Although the Mean Girls star confirmed she is still up for the role in the buzz-worthy biopic to E! News Sunday night at the Weinstein Company Golden Globes after party, we’ve learned Lohan has some competition by way of Megan Fox.

“I’ve been talking to Lindsay Lohan directly, and with her reps, and have been in conversations with other actresses, including Megan Fox,” Larry Thompson, the executive producer of Lifetime’s Liz and Dick, told E! News exclusively.
Thompson declined to elaborate further on specifics of the negotiations, but added that being in talks with more than one actress is not meant as an affront to the talent involved, but rather is simply de rigueur for projects of this nature.
“It’s a very serious selection,” Thompson continued. “It’s like casting for Hollywood royalty.”
And speaking of serious, a source tells E! News that while Lohan is still one of the frontrunners for the role, her probation status is “a complication.”

Lohan, who is on probation until the end of March, is due back in court Tuesday morning to face the judge in a probation status update hearing.
So, when will we know which star nabbed the role?
Rather soon, since the filmmaker plans to start shooting the movie in Canada as soon as this spring.
In the meantime, tell us what you think. Would Fox or Lohan make a better Elizabeth Taylor? Sound off in the comments.
Lindsay Lohan and her boobs get parking tickets
In a minute you’ll get to see her nipples, don’t worry
When celebrities start parking illegally, the police have got to nip it (sorry) in the bud. Which is why Lindsay Lohan – and her very prominent bra-less nipples – were slapped with two parking tickets yesterday in LA.
Lindsay got the tickets while she was shopping (er, we hope) in a jewellery store in LA. She came out holding a small shopping bag (a good sign) and found not one, but two parking tickets on her windscreen. Oh Lindsay…
Li-Lo – who is currently on probation in connection to stealing a necklace, which must have made the jewellers a bit nervous – had ditched her bra for the shopping trip, and was clearly flashing a bit of nipple through her black top. Apart from the nipple slip, she was looking quite stylish in her jeans, ankle boots and leather jacket.
Lindsay is on schedule to complete her supervised court probation in just over ten weeks, and is said to have some films (yep, we know – shocker) in the pipeline.

Uh-oh, we’ve seen your car
One of them is a bipic of Elizabeth Taylor, but Lindsay is said to be competing for the role against actresses including Megan Fox.
“I’ve been talking to Lindsay Lohan directly, and with her reps, and have been in conversations with other actresses, including Megan Fox,” Larry Thompson, the executive producer of the film said. “It’s a very serious selection,” he added. “It’s like casting for Hollywood royalty.”
Maybe Lindsay was in that jewellers picking up a little tiara then. That could totally fit in that bag.

Here we go again.
Following in Charlie Sheen’s footsteps of finding success after hitting rock bottom, Lindsay Lohan is reportedly being considered to play the role of Elizabeth Taylor in an upcoming made-for-TV movie, “Liz and Dick.”
Reports have shown that Lohan is actually receiving more scripts than before and that producers are claiming that she is showing signs of “maturity.” That’s surprising considering her rap sheet over the last couple of years. It’s hard to say how long a movie could take to film with all of the potential court dates and community service hours that come with the actress.
Talk about baggage.
There is, however, good news for Lohan. She had her court date Tuesday — a progress report following a necklace theft in May and a 2007 DUI — and the judge ruled in Lohan’s favor. He approved of her recent behavior and was even seen reportedly flashing Lohan a smile.
The real concern here is what happened to the 25-year-old Hollywood starlet? Remember the innocent Disney years where she starred in “Freaky Friday,” “Herbie Fully Loaded” and “The Parent Trap?” Like so many actors and actresses who found success while they were young, Lohan fell into the deviant aspects that surround Hollywood youth. It’s sad to see but it could be worse, I suppose.
Prime examples of youth gone wild include Britney Spears and Robert Downey, Jr. and Corey Haim. I certainly hope that Lohan can stay out of trouble and fairs better than the latter member of the group. Haim died in 2010 at only 38 years old. He didn’t die as a direct result from substance abuse, a problem that plagued his past, but at the time of his death he was deeply depressed and secluded, reportedly a result of his past fame.
Despite what she has gone through, I think Lohan is capable of returning to the limelight. She has the look and the talent, but it will come down to whether she can keep herself straight. I understand that sometimes the temptations of life can outweigh the unknown, but just like any other recovery, resisting those temptations is vital to success. She has shown promise these last couple of months and I would be shocked if that didn’t continue.
