New York, Apr 3: The sister of Britney Spears'' former manager Sam Lutfi has testified that the pop singer told her in recent months that she needed her brother''s help to hire her own attorney.

Attorneys for Britney''s father and conservator, Jamie Spears, have been seeking a long-standing restraining order against Sam, a manager and close confidant of the singer during her personal meltdown, that forbids him from contacting her.

Washington, Feb 5 : Britney Spears'' infamous ex-manager Sam Lutfi is set to make a tell-all documentary detailing the singer's highly-publicised meltdown, according to reports.

It is believed that Lutfi is planning out details with U. S. TV network UPN to make the explosive programme.

UPN also broadcasts Spears'' 2005 reality series `Britney & Kevin: Chaotic'.

Spears'' parents, Jamie and Lynne, publicly blamed Lutfi for the series of emotional breakdowns that had led Britney to lose custody of her two sons to ex-husband Kevin Federline in 2007.

But, Lutfi, 34, who was the singer's manager during her 2007 meltdown, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Spears and her parents on February 4.
