Adnan Questioned By Police
Goodness there are some Adnan haters out there and this weeks hater is a photographer named Anthony, who earlier today accused Adnan of punching him in Beverly Hills but not before changing his story to police. Here’s how it went down. Adnan and a couple out of town friends (yes, they were females but don’t jump to conclusions so quickly like a bunch of other blogs) were shopping on Rodeo when photographers spotted Adnan and his friends. After asking photogs not to photograph him, all but one, Anthony, decided not to listen to Adnan’s request and started photographing them. Anthony kept asking Adnan loudly over and over again, “what’s Britney going to think of this?”
Pretty rude but if you want to create a story out of nothing, you got to do what you got to do I guess. At this point, more words were exchanged but that’s about it and Adnan left with his friends. Keep in mind, there were at least two other photographers from other agencies who witnessed this but we’ll get back to them later. So Anthony called Beverly Hills Police and claimed Adnan had hit him four times on the chest. When photographers overheard this, they called Adnan to let him know what was going down and he quickly returned with his two friends. Upon his return, Anthony changed his story to police. Anthony now claimed instead of Adnan punching him four times that he actually shoved him instead. Adnan and his friends, the previously mentioned photographers and Anthony were all questioned by police and when they were finished, police let Adnan go. Beverly Hills Police have NOT filed charges against Adnan NOR are they going to pursue the case any further. Thankfully, the Beverly Hills Police Department did a thorough job and realized pretty quickly that it was all just a poor setup.
So again, NO charges were filed against Adnan and the Beverly Hills Police Department will not be pursuing any further investigation. I had heard rumors of a bounty being on Adnan to create incidents like this that will put him a bad light but I thought it was just a joke. I guess it’s not a joke after all.
Check out more pics of Adnan and his friends talking to the cops as well as Anthony.

The dark haired woman looks like Adnan’s sister to me. They have a strong family resemblance and she is very slim, as is the woman in the above pic.
February 13th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
smells like a setup
February 13th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
I think too that was her sister and her friend. If he’s with TWO women the day before valentine’s day shopping on Rodeo in the middle of the day, most likely he was picking up things for Britney too! Sad so many people don’t like him just because they are envious.
February 13th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
Wow there is a videoclip of on TMZ of Adnan giving those paps a piece of his mind!
February 13th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
i agree with you crymeariver2 ! how if britney needed that! but I suppose that since all that they are to cross together… they must y have very strong bonds,
February 13th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
I can’t believe Adnan told the other papparazzi to get a better job! Who does he think he is? Just a month ago that is what he was doing. No wonder hes having problems with them.
February 14th, 2008 at 12:22 am
I LOVE Adnan!!!!
February 14th, 2008 at 12:36 am
So what’s the deal about this, we all get questioned – it’s fucking not the end of the world – Bad guy or a good guy? That’s the question I want to know – Fork it over
February 14th, 2008 at 1:20 am
Daisy. People grow. Do you?
February 14th, 2008 at 1:36 am
Ugh! Once a pap, always a pap! I saw the TMZ clip too! Is that only way they know how to earn money? Uh, hellooooooo! What did you do just 2 months ago???? He also said he works 20hrs 7days a week. Doing what? Writing a tell-all book no doubt.
Still his hipocracy made me laugh out loud. I guess he’s some use. Maybe that’s his new job. JOKER!!!!!
If it wasn’t his sister, maybe it was his 2 wives.
February 14th, 2008 at 1:56 am
I wonder what agency Anthony worked for? I think when he said to the paps … “I’m sure you guys have better ways of making money” … I heard sarcasm in his voice. I don’t know about the 20hours a day 7 days a week comment. I’m still trying to figure that one out myself! Just like he said on tv … scandal sells. Somewhere, somehow … there has to be something worth reporting on. It sucks to think that paps would antagonize and instigate drama just for photo opps.
February 14th, 2008 at 2:02 am
He didn’t say HE works 20 hours a day, he was saying if it got so bad for him that he had to make up stories like the paps do nowadays, then he WOULD work 20 hr a day/7 days a week. x-17 has a longer better videoclip than tmz and now people are claiming one of the girls to be his wife when he clearly said he was OUT SHOPPING (probably for Britney) ** I doubt he would take his wife out shopping when he probably still has Britney’s sweet scent on him from last night.
February 14th, 2008 at 2:18 am
I was going to post that the blonde girl resembled Azlynn. But I didn’t. Does it? I have seen tmz, x17 and hollywoodtv’s clips.
February 14th, 2008 at 2:18 am
Where did you read that people were saying it was his wife?
February 14th, 2008 at 2:26 am
they were saying that on x17 – i did a side by side comparision with that girl and the photo they have of azlynn on google. definitely not her. close resembelance-but not her.
i just can’t believe people are stupid enough to think this well educated guy would be stupid enough to cheat on Britney Spears.
February 14th, 2008 at 2:38 am
Yeah, Im doing the side by side thing now. I ran across a pic of her just the other day on some site … it was not the 2 that come up. It was her old pageant picture. I wish I could find it again, and do a compare to that. I wouldn’t think he would go out shopping with his (ex)wife … even if he were shopping for Britney.
February 14th, 2008 at 7:19 am
Ronnie, I’m with you on this one. I don’t think it’s a joke, I think it’s probably a well orchestrated smear campaign by Sands and Lutfi, in conjunction with their buddies at X17. Frank Navarre didn’t protest very hard about the new rumor that gangs, ie the Bloods and the Crips, have now entered the fray. X17 is in big trouble now that they lost their spy Lutfi, who fed them info about Brits whereabouts after drugging Britney. Their 2.5 million dollar cash cow has all but dried up. Look for them to do anything for a story about her, or anyone in her life.
Peace
February 14th, 2008 at 9:27 am
Its clearly a set up. And Lutfi have a new “best friend”
Navarre´s are close to Sam, (and they ALWAYS pay in checks, they say…… Who payed Anthony?)
They (the papz) have shortly heard that they get well paid if they show up with situations round Adnan.
So what to do? Construct situations…
They hunt Adnan now, and they want to make Briney unhappy, and I think they hope for her to get unpeaceful. Hoping for scandals.
But I think they shot themself in the foot.
Britney and her family now how a setup works and recognize it.
This will get them all closer instead.
Maybe the papz are jealous on Adnan?
Why I dont understand, because the friendship Britney and Andnan feel are not not exchangeable to anybody, whoever..
And at last, Adnan have all the right in the world to choice to change his way of working.
We all have.
Don’t let them destroy anything Adnan. Stay calm.
February 14th, 2008 at 9:39 am
I makes a suposition… when Adnan started has to date Britney, they are parents and his sister one to move from L.A by what it were badgered by the paparazzi, can be that they wanted just to protect these girls (and one of both seems to be her sister) what is completely normal!! because precisely they were front paparazzi, but now they is on the other side of the fence and they knows how these had of living under the projectors the every day. And moreover, if it had bad intentions, or if it hides whatever thing has Brit I do not believe that he is enough idiot for this walk into full days with other girls!! (it is nice like all! NOT!?) good St-Valentine!
February 14th, 2008 at 10:11 am
I have been reading everywhere that Adnan said “Dont you know who I am?” to the photographers. I have been defending him on other sites, but the public are REALY hating him now. I hope he diddnt say that!
February 14th, 2008 at 11:44 am
This incident doesn’t have anything to do with X17 & Lutfi. It was a wenn photographer, if you look at the pics at the wenn site you can clearly see Adnan going for the guy and the pretty blonde girl trying to hold Adnan back.
To Carmela333: I don’t believe Adnan grew- I think he got a big pay check from ET and possibly other deals. He should not be rude & arrogant to the guys doing the same thing he has done for years.
February 14th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
To Daisy: Where is the wenn site so I can view these pictures.
I don’t believe Adnan said “Dont you know who I am?” to the photographers. And so what, even if he did say that, let’s remember, he is Britney Spears Boyfriend.
I dont see why people make the ET interviews a big deal! So What he got on tv and said GooD things about her. OBVIOUSLY its not a big deal for her or her family and if he got paid a little for it,so what!! It’s not like hes going around every week and its very clear the rumors about him selling pictures and videos were all just rumors created by the Lutfi camp.
February 14th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Adnan chased britney for years taking pics of her every move and now he thinks he is too high class since he latched on to his meal ticket Britney! He is nothing but a sickening Leech!! And of course he didn’t want his pic taken, then Britney would know he was with other women. He is a piece of work.
February 14th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
To Lace:
Try watching the video on X17.Adnan says guys were filming him all day shopping, and that was not the problem.The problem was with this Anthony guy who clearly went out of his way to harass Adnan and his friends.Its mid day in LA, you really think he was trying to hide who he was with? If so, you are not too bright.Also, he was with her AGAIN last night.
Why dont you diehard Brit fans just accept the fact he MIGHT just care for her and she MIGHT just care for him?
Oh I know why, you’re too OBSESSED with her! rotflmao
February 14th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
wenn.com . but by the pictures you can’t determine for sure that he was “going after” the photog.
February 14th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
Adnan , went a Brit home last Night , thare is a video on X17, I really do not believe that Adnan is enough stupid to walk with girls and that Britney is not well-informed, moreover I is sure that one of these girls and her sister moreover the interview of Adnan was surely in agreement with Britney I work in communication and this one were very good blows, to slow down all the bad press which did at this time it on Btriney and Adnan
February 14th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Please…
Some sense now.
This is going to far.
Adnan was not out whit a “date” with this girl.
Have you not any proportion in your sense?
Its start going to be ridiculous now.

“the dark girl” and she real look like Adnan
there is many paparazzi which seemed to know the girls.
February 14th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
I believe that lote of site, like X17, Tmz… ect, to lose moneys since Britney is well and that it have there no more drama in its life, then what could be better than to create some. are nice with Britney, his health is still fragile
February 14th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Hi doc1955,
World Entertainment News Network (WENN) is a well established photo agency. The WENN web site has a great archive. http://www.wenn.com/
With regard to Adnan Ghalib, I am still sitting on the fence. Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer multiple unbiased sources for everything. I simply do not know enough about him to have formed either a positive or negative opinion.
February 14th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Good stuff for a debate though? Eh? LOL!!
February 14th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Unfortunately for many of you, taking words out of context would be a personal matter. If I may, I would like to add my 2 cents regarding the statements Adnan Ghalib made to the ever present paparazzi’s. Now remember that Adnan Ghalib IS a paparazzi himself. So just think of him as he speak the usual paparazzi lingo to his colleauges.
“you guys I’m sure you have better ways of making money huh”
I believe what he is saying is that there are other celebrities to work on in Beverly Hills. I’m just Adnan Ghalib, I’m one of you guys. You guys Know me.
“I’m surprised that, thats the extreme you guys have to go to make a buck these days”.
Making money the professional paparazzi way is out the door. Now even the paparazzi are creating an incident to make a story. The new modern day paparazzi has become the reporter, the editor, the instigator and last a photographer. After, he turns into a salesman trying to sell a fabricated story. The story is then sensationalized and the Paparazzi himself gets his fame by being part of the story. The golden rule of professional Paparazzi is to never be involved in the story. Photographer first, paparazzi as an art of creating a story with images.
“Me personally I do 20 hours a day 7 days a week.”
A real paparazzi works these long hours to make that story that they’ve been waiting for. As crazy as his statement may sound, the paparazzi line of work is not a joke for most professional. In some sense, his statement is true. The new breed wants easy money. Makes false statements in order to sell an image. 80% of the new breed of paparazzi’s out there are not trust worthy. Face value is better off as a rain check. You might end up printing something false. And in the wrong hands a sensationalized story to sell papers.
“I think you know better than that”
Adnan Ghalib compliments his colleauges regarding the knows of the business.
“There is no contacts between us”.
Now look at the photo of Anthony. He is upset at the photographers that had called Adnan Ghalib to let him know the sinister intentions that Anthony plotted. Now that is a picture a paparazzi can be proud of. That picture is worth a thousand words. The image speaks of evil coniving intent, a image of embarrassment and finally an image of a humiliated prospector. The new breed of paparazzi’s are an embarrasment to the real paparazzi’s.
Check out the helmet. Motorcycle in this business is a bad idea. That shows you that he has no clue or proper training in the business of paparazzi. He’s just another guy with a camera.
How do I know these things. Because I am a real Paparazzi.
February 14th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
GREAT POST MARK TWAIN!!
I believe I was wrong with my assessment of Adnan’s comment about working the 20 hours. Your explaination along with the other information makes complete sense. So he still is a paparazzi? Who does he follow now? 20 hours a day? Thats alot to work! When does he make time for Britney?
Thank you so much for your insight! Greatly appreciated!

“Now even the paparazzi are creating an incident to make a story”
I´m sitting her and remember…All the flat tire -situations on Britneys cars. Almost every day…
We will never know if it was the papz or Sam ..
Somebody done that to force her to stop the car, and that gave her really bad stress.
They have done this to Adnan too, when Britney and him was going away from a swarm of papz.
February 14th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
I myself worked 7 months with almost no days off. Made my wife cry. But I did take a 6 months vacation right after. Not alot of people understand what kind of work we do. Your going to need a strong understanding woman if she is going to survive a relationship with a paparazzi. This is maybe the driving force for many of the new breed of paparazzi to cheat and take short cuts. I know many paparazzi who have kids that sometimes weeps when their in a huddle talking about their children. Some simply don’t see them. They leave early in the morning and come home way past the midnight hours, sleep for a few hours and out again. They often see their kids asleep most of the time. I’m not here to defend the Paparazzi. I just want to give you folks the human side of these peoples lives as well. There are good guys and there are bad guys. In the paparazzi world, we are all bad in everyones eyes.
Don’t know what Adnan Ghalib is doing. I’m sure he smart enough to hang back. I think it would be hard to work when the very people next to you are taking photos of you. So just think about that for a minute. I’m just speaking in common sense here so please on the things that I’m saying.
Amapola:
You really have to stop with digging way to deep in the dirt. If you have been following the Britney story. Osama Lutfi had cut off the phone lines and had rigged her vehicles to intrapted her. This is his way of controlling her and making her life a living hell. Paparazzi deflating her tires is really to much. Now Sam doing that is more likely.
Adnan Ghalib is in the spotlight. He’s alot easier of a target to some conaving paparazzi. You really think anthony would make a phone to the police and make false statement about a celebrity. That would be a major lawsuit. Some of these cats might have gotten instructions from the people they work for. Specially as one stated as WENN a credible news outlet looking for a big break in the Adnan, britney . Sensationalize to sell the story. Adnan is a soft target for the paparazzi, the agencies and the magazines. he does not have a deep enough pocket to defend himself. The man can only make statements and you have to take them at face value.
I have to admit at watching the TMZ video. He’s smart enough to stick around and say what he had to say. If he did’nt, everyone would be all over him. Than all you folks would make all these assumptions.
Just came by to make a quick comment. No more question because I will not be posting again.
I felt that I needed to say something and thank you for thoughts.
February 14th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Mark Twain,
Thanks for posting. I respect you for posting and explaining some of the things you said. Nice name btw.
February 14th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
To MarkTwain
English is not my first language, maybe that’s why my comment come out in the wrong way??
I have always suspiced Sam Lutfi for doing more harm to Britney then we know of.
And I have always said that I think Adnan have behave like a gentlemen.
But one thing is clear. Its no more flat tires nowdays.
Sam Lutfi is also invisible…Nowhere to find…
February 14th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
I’m still on the fence regarding Adnan, too. Only because there really hasn’t been enough time. As he himself said, “the truth has a way of coming out” In time, we will know if he has noble intentions toward Britney, or if some of the awful smear campaign sounding stories are, in fact, true. I would like to believe they aren’t true, but I also freely admit I am biased toward Adnan because he is so handsome
Contrary to what he may have stated on the record, I like a happy ending and I hope that is just what they have. Am rooting for it, in fact. Britney deserves to be happy, and if Adnan is a nice guy, he will make her very happy indeed. Or at least he won’t make her unhappy, she does have to bring the happy to the table herself, nobody can heal someone else, but I’m sure being with him at night couldn’t hurt
Having said that, they haven’t been together long enough really for us to even know if it works out between them. Adnan could turn out to be a perfectly decent and nice guy, and end up not being with Britney. I think before anyone jumps to conclusions about him though, we should just wait. Afterall, if he turns out to be an opportuneistic jerk, I’m sure it will be definitively, blatantly so, and not just by virtue of a he said/she said rumour type sitation. Or because of an X17 Sam Lutfi smear campaign. I think him emerging as a nice guy, accepted by the public will take much longer, but eventually if that is true, I think the persistent rumours will go away, and as he said, good or bad, the truth will come out. I will wait and see, and until them give him the benefit of the doubt, and not just because he’s cute. One thing is certain, he has a target on his back, and while I can’t speak for anyone else, I’m certainly not going to take pot shots at it.
Peace
February 14th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Daisy, I don’t know why you think a “celeb” should respond differently than the rest of us to rudeness, e.g., by Anthony in this case.
Celebs aren’t monarchs, diplomats, or politicians.
Anyway, see Twain’s posts.
I believe in Adnan. There’s nothing greasy about him. The way he holds her, in going through a crowd is .. credible. He’s crossed over to her.
February 14th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
I think Adnan is sort of the peace brit needs. Also, Adnan could be used to run certain errands. He might be a good witness against sam or maybe he can get his paps buddies to get a good scoup and serve adnan to get the deal of the century.
February 14th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
I think the britney law will be good. I think they should get a warrant for SAMs arrest. I am sure he knows….. just try him in abstentia.

Britaculous:
You post everywhere, x-17, perez. Seems to me that your not happen anywhere other than places that wish to bash Adnan.
Obsessed with Britney much?
Ah, and lest not forget, SHE chose HIM.
Oh I bet that just burns your hide doesnt it?
February 16th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
I found a new blog about Britney Spears. Check it out! Looks to be pretty good.
