SPEARS AND PAP SURFACE NEAR PALM SPRINGS
January 06, 2008
A day after she was released from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Britney Spears surfaced in Palm Desert, Calif., about 120 miles east of Los Angeles, CelebTV.com has confirmed.
Sunday morning, the pop star and a dark-haired man later identified as paparazzo Adnan Ghalib were spotted having breakfast at the Daily Grill, as first reported by Vegas Confidential's Norm Clarke.
He reports that Spears, who was drinking a mimosa, took her champagne cocktail with her to the bathroom while Ghalib stood outside the door.
"She seemed in a really good mood, laughing with the guy she was with," the restaurant's manager told People magazine.
The married Ghalib, 35, and Spears, 26, have been seen together in recent weeks checking in and out of hotels in L.A.
A source at Finalpixx, where Ghalib works, confirmed earlier to CelebTV.com that the photographer and Spears have been getting close in recent weeks, but would not go as far as saying the two are dating. "I know, but I can't say," said the source with a laugh.
