Paparazzi Pal Brokering $1 M Deal For Britney Spears Photos

is reporting thathas been hanging exclusively with her new found paparazzi pal and confidant,. The British photographer made headlines when he spent a wild night with the off kilter pop star just before Christmas.

The two have been together at several hotels since that widely reported episode and have hooked up again now that Britney has sprung herself from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Spears claims that Ghalib is the only person she trusts. They were seen having an early morning breakfast with a champagne mimosa yesterday at the El Paseo Daily Grill near Palm Springs. The cocktail is three parts champagne to one part OJ.

Ghalib is said to be trying to broker a $1 million deal with Spears for exclusive photos of the psychotic wreck, at their secret hideaway.

Dr. Phil ambushed Spears as she was getting ready to bolt from her hospital confinement. He was in her face and followed closely on her heels as she departed the building through an underground tunnel. He is reportedly trying to help her parents to bring Britney to her senses. He clearly missed the boat on this one.

Dr. Phil is taking this a step farther this week, reporting that he has exclusive footage and information regarding Britney's meltdown. He is working with Spears family in putting together the show that will air on Wednesday. This may very well further alienate the already over the edge pop star.

What will happen next is anyone's guess. God help the very troubled young woman.
