Why is Britney Spears' paparazzo boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib, who she supposedly married in Mexico (yeah, right) chatting it up with the cops here?

It's not confirmed, but there are rumors going around that Adnan punched another photographer who was taking pictures of him.

A little ironic, wouldn't you say? Guess the view is different on the other end of the lens. This allegedly happened outside the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Adnan Ghalib has a little chat with some local authorities.

So far, the cops are being tight-lipped about exactly what went down with Adnan Ghalib, and even TMZ hasn't broken the story as of right now.

The word on the street is that some other celebrity news dudes may have gotten a little too close to the paparazzo, who was spotted with two girls.

Neither of whom is named Britney Spears.

We'll have to stay tuned on this one.
