Michael Sands, LAPD: Most Trustworthy Sources In Gossipdom

Actor, model, cheesecake entrepreneur, and publicist Michael Sands is helping his client, Britney manager/ extorter Sam Lutfi, protect his valuable reputation by craftily playing gossip outlets against each other. TMZ reported last night that the LAPD is investigating Lutfi for illegally drugging Britney. Hours later, PageSix.com struck back with a report that the po-po is doing no such thing [UPDATE: Radar.com takes credit for the original scoop]! The evidence is clear:

Michael Sands, Sam Lutfi's spokesman, exclusively tells us that "Internet tabloid gossip Web sites need to stop reporting bogus stories without knowing the truth. They need to stop brainwashing the public."

..... Reported PageSix.com.

Bonus hilarious quote:

Follow-up calls to the LAPD Media Relations department were answered by Officer Lee, who said, "Who would you believe? The LAPD or Internet reports?"

@hortense: Looking at that screencap, my first thought was: Lee Greenwood has a website?

I'd side with the Internet, if just because I can't be beat down or shot by Google. Yet.

LAPD is supposed to say "We can't comment on an ongoing investigation." (That's what they told me when I asked about the Black Dahlia case.) Is PageSix sure they got the right number?
