It looks like Brit was getting ready to leave the house today — just hours after her release from the hospital — but turned around when she saw all the paps there. What, Britney? You didn’t think there would be paparazzi outside your house??? You’ve only spent the past few months posing for them every chance you get, and now that your mental breakdown is finally getting fun again, you expect them to disappear? It’s Britney’s world, folks. We just live in it.

Anyway, Brit supposedly left the hospital with her dad — her mom and sis are still in Kentwood, despite reports that Jamie-Lynn was at the hospital with Britney, and seriously what kind of bullshit must be going on there that they can’t come to LA to see Britney after her hospitalization? — and is now holed up at home, possibly with Luckiest Paparazzo Ever Adnan Ghalib. Sam Lutfi is supposedly driving around LA looking for Britney, as he doesn’t trust this Adnan dude with her. We don’t trust you with her either, Sam!

K-Fed hasn’t left his house all day — he’s holed up at home with his sons.

Ask Britney Spears.

It’s a strange length of time. It only takes an hour or two to fuck and shower, and throw cocaine in there and you’re looking at maybe three hours, but five hours seems a strange length of time to spend in a Palm Springs hotel room.

But that’s how long Britney and her new paparazzo boy-toy, Adnan Ghalib, spent at the Parker Hotel in Palm Springs last night, checking in at 2 am and leaving at 7 am.

What do you guys think they were doing in there?

Britney reportedly spent NYE with her two sons — and their court-appointed monitor — at a private beach-front residence near Dana Point in the OC, according to OK! magazine. Sources say she had a quiet night, and, if she passed out, at least she didn’t do it in public, like last NYE.

Can you imagine being that court-appointed monitor? Your friends are all like, “Dude, we’re so fucking hungover today. We can’t even get out of bed. Josh just puked into his hat. Fuck, man. So, what’d you do last night?” and then you’re all like, “Um, I stayed sober and made sure Britney Spears didn’t kill her young children,” and then they’re all like, “Oh, great. So could you come over and bring us McDonalds and Tylenol?”

Also there: Adnan Ghalib, the paparazzo Britney’s been banging lately, who’s clearly becoming more than a boy-toy. This Britney-dates-a-pap story is so weird. I can’t even really handle it. Like, if she started dating Sean Connery, I could handle it. If she started dating Lindsay Lohan’s little brother, I still think I could handle it. But a paparazzi? It makes my little evil head explode.

Meet Adnan Ghalib, the paparazzo who’s reportedly banging Britney Spears. Adnan was spotted hiding in the back of Britney’s Mercedes early yesterday morning, making this the third time he’s been spotted with her in a non-professional manner.

I guess, when you think about it, it’s almost weird that more celebs don’t end up dating paparazzi. I mean, they practically spend more time with them than anyone else. It’s a convenient relationship.
