Oct. 31 2007, Published 4:50 a.m. ET
Aside from maybe Britney Spears herself, there is probably no one on this planet more familiar with the ins and outs of the pop starlet's life in recent months than her good friend and constant companion Sam Lutfi. From the courthouse to the nightclub, the "Gimme More" singer rarely goes anywhere these days without her guy-friend Sam, which made him the perfect person to sit down with OK! to clear the air of all the rumors and allegations surrounding the former Mrs. Kevin Federline.
In an exclusive interview in the new issue of OK!, Sam talks openly about everything from what Brit's career plans are for the future to stories of drug and alcohol abuse by the 25-year-old mother of two.
"When the state does eight random drug tests and they all come out negative, that speaks for itself," Sam explains to OK!. "I said five months ago that she doesn't do drugs, and now the judge is saying it."

Well, one of the reasons so many believe those substance abuse rumors is Britney's odd behavior in recent months, including her seemingly aimless, multi-hour-long drives around Malibu and Los Angeles. "Sometimes she just doesn't want to deal with the paparazzi," says Sam. "It gets scary out there for her and she decides, 'All right, I'm just going to go home.'"
As for Brit's tense relationship with ex-hubby K-Fed, Sam says Britney wants to remain friendly with the wannabe rapper and that it hurts her when people slam him in the press. "She doesn't like anyone talking bad about him. He's the father of her children."
For the complete, raw interview with Sam, pick up the new issue of OK! — on stands everywhere Thursday.
