Hollywood Dirt: Ex Accuses Britney Spears of Once Being Hooked on Meth + More

BRITNEY SPEARS BREACH OF CONTRACT TRIAL BEGINS - EX MANAGER CLAIMS SHE WAS A METH HEAD: The civil trial against BRITNEY SPEARS kicked off yesterday, and ex-manager Sam Lufti's legal team came out swinging.

Lufti is suing Brit for breach of contract for allegedly failing to pay his 15 percent fee, and among the accusations Sam's lawyer made in his opening statements was that Britney was hooked on speed and meth.

In fact, he claimed that Brit's much-publicized breakdown in 2007, which included her shaving her head and attacking an SUV with an umbrella, was because of those drugs.

Among the other claims Sam's lawyer made yesterday ...

•Brit was paranoid that her hair contained traces of the hardcore drugs she was using and that's why she shaved it off.

•Brit took a huge amount of amphetamines the night in 2008 when she was strapped to a stretcher and placed on a 5150 hold.

Meanwhile ... Spears and her fiance-business manager Jason Trawick scraped together $8.5 million and bought a swanky five-bedroom mansion in Thousand Oaks, California. It's got some pretty sweet views, too (PHOTO), (PHOTO), (PHOTO)
