Alli Sims isn’t Britney Spears‘ assistant anymore, but she’s still trying to profit from that connection. “Alli was in Birmingham, Ala., on Sept. 21 to put on a trunk show with vintage clothes, jewelry and accessories that she collected — free — while hanging out with Britney,” a Spears family insider has said.

“Alli literally got thousands of dollars worth of swag during that year she was at Britney’s side,” the insider adds. “She hasn’t been working, so she needs the money more than she needs the stuff.”

However, Alli’s plan didn’t rake in the big bucks. “The first sale wasn’t all she’d hoped for. People trickled in and out for a few hours – something like 20 people the whole afternoon. They made some money, but nothing to write home about,” the insider says.

And it sounds like Alli still can’t comprehend that she’s really not related to the pop star. “It’s so funny that she promoted the sale as Britney’s cousin, when she isn’t, and she’s basically been cut off from any contact with the family,” says the insider.

Jamie Lynn Spears may be only 17, but longtime Spears family friend Alli Sims is confident in the new mom’s parenting abilities.

“She’ll be a wonderful mom” to newborn Maddie Briann, said Sims, 26, at the opening of Beverly Hills boutique Shizue on Thursday. “I’m really excited for her.”

As for the family, Sims said, “You know, I haven’t talked to ‘em, but I know she’ll have so much fun, and the baby will bring her so much happiness.”

Sims had similar praise for aunt Britney Spears, saying, “She’ll be so much fun!” and predicts Brit will buy baby Maddie “lots of pink, fun, girly stuff.”

While Sims says she plans to visit Jamie Lynn “very soon,” she’s also busy working on a debut album: “I’m going to spend August in Nashville writing and recording.”

She looks so happy that the paparazzi are taking her picture, or even, that she’s still relevant enough to have her picture taken.

Alli Sims has weighed in with her thoughts on Britney Spears’ new boyfriend/manager, Adnan Ghalib:

“I don’t know him. I only know who he is through him following us for the last eight months. I do not think Adnan is a good person; I think he only has bad intentions. He has always given me a weird feeling and creeped me out. I wish he would just go away.”

He creeps me out, too. I think he’s only there to make a quick buck off of her.

It looks like Britney Spears’ cousin/friend/ex-assistant Alli Sims’ hope of getting a TV career out of her relationship with Brit has been shattered!

An insider tells Life & Style that Maloof Productions, run by the family that owns the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and the Sacramento Kings basketball team, had planned to produce an Entourage-style reality show with Alli as the star.

But the Maloofs have suddenly changed their minds. “While Britney was being hospitalized in LA, Alli, her supposed best friend, was self-promoting in NYC. She was flown in for meetings to draw attention to her career — including her reality show. Only problem is, it’s not happening,” the insider says.

“While she was partying in New York at Tenjune, the Maloofs decided to drop the idea. Although it was supposed to be Alli’s show, Britney was always the main draw.

“Alli and Britney are obviously not close anymore, and Alli’s even had a falling out with the Spears family. So the Maloofs lost interest in going forward!”
