Adnan Ghalib

If you remember the infamous Britney Spears meltdown of 2008, then you might remember Adnan Ghalib - the British-born paparazzo and all around D-bag with whom Britney was romantically involved at the time. 

Spears and Ghalib only dated briefly but it was quite the wild ride. After their breakup, Ghalib threatened to sell a Britney sex tape, and she ended up getting a restraining order against him.

Are Britney Spears and Adnan Ghalib, her former boyfriend, shady paparazzi member and convicted felon, secretly in contact? That's the rumor going around.

One Jamie Spears is likely to flip his $h!t over.

Remember Adnan?

While Tiger Woods resurfaced in public for the first time in nearly three months yesterday, Britney Spears' ex-beau did the same, albeit with less fanfare.

Britney Spears' ex-boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib, was sentenced today to 45 days in county jail after he pleaded no contest to leaving the scene of an accident.

During said accident, he hit a process server with his car and took off. The victim was attempting to subpoena Adnan in a Spears restraining order case.

One of the shadiest of Britney Spears' many former boyfriends will stand trial on felony assault with a deadly weapon, battery and hit-and-run charges.

A judge decided there is indeed enough evidence to prosecute Adnan at a preliminary hearing yesterday, so off to trial the case will go. Sucks to be him.

By cutting him off, that is.

Sam Lutfi has filed legal papers in his defamation lawsuit against Britney Spears and her parents, Jamie and Lynn, claiming they have ruined "his life."

Sam Lutfi is learning a hard lesson:

You do not f*%k with the conservatorship!

While Britney Spears is busy getting accosted by drunk fans on her Circus tour, a couple of her former clowns are starring in their own shows in L.A.

Spears' ex-manager Sam Lutfi and former boyfriend Adnan Ghalib appeared in separate hearings yesterday. Both shady hangers-on have already been banned from further contact with their former meal ticket through at least 2012.

A Los Angeles courtroom heard testimony yesterday on whether or not to extend the restraining orders barring her former manager and sidekick Sam Lutfi and other past hangers-on from having contacts with troubled star Britney Spears.

Attorney John Anderson took the stand and told Superior Court Commissioner Aviva K. Bobb that he was asked to represent the pop star in a battle to free her from the conservatorship controlled by her father, Jamie Spears.

A restraining order against Britney Spears ex-boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib, was made permanent for three years, a judge ruled at a Wednesday hearing.

At the same time, the temporary restraining against her former manager and possibly the shadiest person ever, Sam Lutfi, was extended until April 1.

Less than 24 hours after a warrant for his arrest was issued, Adnan Ghalib has turned himself. Charged with three felonies, he went to court and pled not guilty.

Ghalib allegedly struck a process server - who was attempting to hand him a subpoena to appear in the Britney Spears restraining order case - with his Mercedes.

Adnan Ghalib, celebrity gossip photographer and now-infamous ex-boyfriend of Britney Spears, has been charged with three felonies for allegedly smashing his car into a process server who tried to subpoena him earlier this month.

A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

A hearing yesterday afternoon in the Britney Spears restraining order case against Sam Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib revealed some interesting information.

Jamie Spears, father of the singer, took the stand to explain that at some point recently, Britney somehow got her hands on a pre-paid cell phone.

The police are investigating Adnan Ghalib - celebrity news photographer and one-time boyfriend of Britney Spears, who is under court order to stay away from her - for felony assault with a deadly weapon with a vehicle.

How it all supposedly went down is rather absurd.

“Britney has a beautiful soul. We share something really special. The truth about us will come out eventually, but it’s not for me to talk about. I love her ... I still love Britney ... I’m her boyfriend.” - Adnan Ghalib on Britney Spears

According to Heat magazine, the celebrity gossip photographer insists he and the singer, who were inseparable at the beginning of 2008, are still in a relationship ... despite several restraining orders she's filed against him.

Oh Adnan Ghalib and Sam Lutfi, how we have missed thee at The Hollywood Gossip. Jamie Spears, on the other hand? He'd like to never see them again.

Britney Spears' father has obtained three restraining orders - against her ex-boyfriend, her ex-manager and his attorney, according to court documents.

Britney Spears has been fighting with her father, Jamie Spears, quite often of late. As her conservator, he's got the final say over her financial, legal, medical, professional and personal decisions. So conflict was inevitable.

The sore subject of the hour: Adnan Ghalib!

Britney Spears' camp continues to promote her upcoming Circus release, with pictures here and videos there, dragging the process out like they are unveiling the frickin' second coming of the Messiah on December 2. But no complaints!

Here's the latest promotional photo ...

Days after reports surfaced that a Britney Spears sex tape with Adnan Ghalib is making the rounds - shopped by Adnan himself - the former celebrity news photographer is now telling one magazine that the whole thing is a lie.

"There is no sex tape," Adnan told Star, "I've never claimed there is one."

Hope you're sitting down.

We now bring you some devastating and totally predictable news from those hoping to watch a naked Britney don a pink wig and ride Adnan Ghalib.

Celebrity news photographer Adnan Ghalib, the ex-boyfriend of Ms. Britney Spears, says he has a sex tape featuring himself and the pop princess.

And the British-born paparazzo, whom Britney was dating during her epic breakdown last winter, says he WILL sell the sex video for the right price.

Sources are reporting that Britney Spears has been secretly seeing somebody - somebody we know well, in fact. Ladies and gentlemen, Adnan Ghalib!

According to TMZ, over the last few months, while we've seen little of his smiling face, Adnan has still been sneaking in to Summit Circle, the posh gated community where Britney Spears lives (and wants to move out of).

We missed Adnan Ghalib.

The last time we heard from the former paparazzi boyfriend of Britney Spears, he was seen with Kathy Griffin. No clue WTF that was all about.

Britney Spears crashing cars? That's almost a given at this point. But in celebrity news we know you didn't see coming, apparently her beau Adnan Ghalib was attacked by a crazed, knife-wielding lunatic last night. Yes, really.

Adnan was stabbed in the arm and has a bruise on his eye and lacerations on his face. He received medical attention, though, and is doing alright.
