Report: Britney Runs Off With New Beau

Been wondering where Britney Spears has been hiding out since being escorted out of Cedar-Sinai Medical Center early Saturday morning?

First came a story from the Las Vegas Review-Journal's Vegas Confidential column, which claims that Britney and her married photographer boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib, were spotted grabbing a bite together Sunday morning at the Daily Grill in Palm Desert, Calif., about 120 miles east of Los Angeles. Sources tell OK! that Adnan owns a house in nearby Desert Palm Springs.

And then, according to a brief item on X17online.com, the falling star and Adnan are currently holed up the Shutters Hotel on the Beach in Santa Monica, Calif.

That article also claims that Adnan, who infamously crossed that thin line between celebrity and the paparazzi who photograph them on Dec. 22, when he enjoyed a sleepover party with the pop princess at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills (), is attempting to sell photographs he's taken of his time with Britney for millions of dollars.

The unofficial couple — Brit has said nothing publicly, while Adnan has only cracked vague jokes about it to his fellow photogs — also spent New Year's Eve together in a private home south of Los Angeles. ()

And on the morning of Jan. 2, only hours before Britney's showdown with the police (), it's been reported that she and Adnan had spent the evening together in the desert oasis of Palm Springs, Calif.

Meanwhile, sources tell OK! that Brit's ex-husband Kevin Federline fears the pop star will attempt to do something rash and has beefed up security at his Tarzana, Calif., home (). And OK! has learned that Britney's best friend, her cousin Alli Sims, jetted off to New York City over the weekend ().
