Courtney Love is flirting with disaster when it comes to her "friendship" with public enemy number one, Sam Lutfi. According to Radaronline.com, the Hole singer has been cozying up to Lutfi in the professional sense. An insider tells Radaronline.com, "Everything Courtney is now doing business-related in her life MUST go through [Sam]. Courtney is completely dependent on him for everything, just as Britney [Spears] was during the time he was in her life. Sam is able to charm his way into emotionally vulnerable celebrities' lives. He can be absolutely charming, but he has a much darker side and it's very concerning that he is now essentially running Courtney's life." For anybody who needs a reminder, Lutfi allegedly was responsible for leeching on to Britney Spears at the height of her personal and professional demise. Once he was cut out of her life, everything seemed to turn around for the "Circus" singer. He has since sued her and her parents for libel, slander and breach of contract. In addition to brainwashing Spears, many have accused Lutfi of drugging the pop singer. Now, it looks like he's found another damsel in distress to hang on to. Love maintains via Twitter that the two are just friends. However, sources say, "Sam is absolutely setting up business meetings on Courtney's behalf and request. She is hoping to resurrect her career, and she is hoping Sam can help her do that." A former assistant recently claimed that Love is still steadily abusing cocaine, Xanax and other drugs, despite maintaining she's clean.
