After pleading No Contest to leaving the scene of an accident last month, Adnan Ghalib was sentenced today to 45 days in jail with credit for one days served. He will also serve probation and community service and be required to take anger management classes. This all stems from an incident earlier this year when process servers tried to serve Adnan papers and instead were allegedly run over by Ghalib as he fled the scene. Three of the more serious felony counts were dropped.

Adnan Ghalib pleaded no contest to felony hit and run in a Van Nuys courtroom today. Judge Speers ordered Ghalib to server 45 days of jail time as well as 45 days of community service. Ghalib must also attend anger management courses and will serve three years of probation. The two counts felony assault with a deadly weapon and felony battery were dropped as part of the plea deal. Ghalib was facing a potential 7 years of jail time stemming from an incident in which a process server alleged Ghalib used his car to assault the process server as he tried to serve Ghalib restraining order papers. Ghalib must surrender himself to Los Angeles County Jail on or before November 26, 2009.

Adnan Ghalib arrived at the Van Nuys Courthouse for the latest hearing in relation to his assault case. The former paparazzi is accused of hitting a process server with his car.

Adnan Ghalib arrived at the at the Van Nuys Courthouse, where he pled not guilty to striking a process server with his car.

The former boyfriend of Britney Spears was arraigned Monday for felony assault with a deadly weapon, hit-and-run and battery, and will be back in court on September 29.

Former paparazzi Adnan Ghalib arrived at the Van Nuys, CA, courthouse this morning for the first day of the preliminary hearing pertaining to his scheduled trial for felony assault. The L.A. County District Attorney has charged Ghalib with three felonies: assault with a deadly weapon, battery, and hit and run.

UPDATE: TMZ reports a  judge has ruled there is enough evidence to prosecute Adnan Ghalib for all three charges and he will be arraigned on July 23.

He must be hard up for cash again, because Britney Spears’ former manager Sam Lutfi is back working on his lawsuit against the singer and her family.

According to TMZ, Lutfi has filed legal papers in his ongoing defamation lawsuit against Britney, Jamie and Lynne Spears, basicially blaming them for everything that’s wrong with his life. Shady Sam claims Mama Lynne lied about him in her book, “Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World.”

Lutfi says that as a result of Lynne Spears alleged “lies,” which include that he secretly placed ground up pills in Britney’s food, people are being mean to him. Poor wittle Sammy sez, “I am constantly in fear for my life…” because he’s getting “harassed and cajoled by the public.” I guess it’s never occurred to him that people don’t like him because he’s ugly and obnoxious. Or because he owes them money.

Shady Sam has also managed to drag Brit’s former BF Adnan Ghalib into his suit, like the ex-pap doesn’t have enough trouble already. Lutfi says he has a declaration from Ghalib refuting Lynne’s statement that Sam was holding Britney hostage. Maybe poor Adnan is the last person still speaking to him.

JFX has photos of Sam and Britney together, but nobody really wants to look at his ugly mug anyway. Wouldn’t you rather see Brit in a clingy top?

Following his court appearance Thursday morning, Adnan Ghalib had lunch with his bail bondsman at Fred Segal in West Hollywood, CA.

Adnan Ghalib, former paparazzi and ex-boyfriend of Britney Spears, arrived at a Van Nuys court house today for a hearing. A July date was set for his trial on three felonies, resulting from an incident in which Ghalib allegedly hit a process server with his car.

I’ll update this post with more details as they come in.

UPDATE: At least I would, if there were any. The gossip blogs and tabloids seem to be ignoring this story, which seems odd since a man’s freedom is at stake.

Britney Spears’ former boyfriend Adnan Ghalib has finally spoken out about the legal complaint that has him facing three felony charges.

According to RadarOnline, Ghalib filed papers last night in an L.A. court in which he denied “each and every allegation” that had been made against him by process server Ram Moskowitz. The court papers are available here. In February, Moskowitz was attempting to serve the former paparazzo with a restraining order seeking to keep him away from Britney Spears and her family members, when the process server alleges that he was hit by Ghalib’s car. 

While it certainly seems like a positive step for Ghalib to answer the complaint against him, why did he take so long? Jamie Spears and his conservatorship cronies have been smearing Adnan’s name for months now—why hasn’t he spoken out before? It’s not just his good  name that’s at stake here—it’s his freedom.

Britney Spears’ former BF Adnan Ghalib was snapped on his way to court in Van Nuys, CA, Monday.  The former paparazzo is facing charges of assault with a deadly weapon, battery and hit and run, stemming from an incident where he allegedly hit a process server with his car.

While Britney Spears has been busy touring, working her cute little butt off to make money, her daddy Jamie Spears has been busy spending it on lawyers, fighting anyone who threatens his stranglehold over his daughter’s life. Those pesky legal bills will get even higher now, since one of his targets is fighting back.

RadarOnline reports attorney Jon Eardley has filed papers in an L.A. court appealing the three-year restraining order served against him, and also objecting to being forced to pay the legal costs of obtaining the order. Eardley, Brit’s former manager Sam Lutfi, and her ex BF Adnan Ghalib were all slapped with three-year restraining orders keeping them away from the singer and her family. The three were also ordered to pay court costs the Spears team incurred obtaining the orders. 

Eardley objects to being lumped together with Brit’s former manager Sam Lutfi, stating, “The court will recall that the bulk of the witnesses were called with respect to Lutfi. The investigation substantially focused on Mr. Lutfi.”

A hearing is scheduled for May 29. Will Eardley have the legal savvy to stand up to the Spears conservatorship? 

Former Britney Spears manager Sam Lutfi has already been handed a three-year restraining order—now he may get stuck with the bill for it.

According to People, the legal team representing Spears’ conservatorship wants shady Sam to pay $123,142 for their fees in obtaining the restraining order. The legal eagles also are looking for $129,922 from attorney Jon Eardley and $72,292 from Britney’s ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, both of whom are also under restraining orders.

It looks like challenging Papa Spears’ authority gets more expensive all the time.

A somber Adnan Ghalib left the Van Nuys Court house this morning with his lawyer following his felony hearing. The former boyfriend of Britney Spears was ordered to stand trial, and will be back in court May 18.

So here’s video of Adnan Ghalib leaving court earlier today. Looks a lot like the last time he went to court, I know, but in our defense, he is wearing a different tie this time. This time around, the court has set a preliminary date for the felony trial to begin and from tactics by the prosecutor it should be quite a ‘circus’ when trial really starts! If you haven’t had a chance to check out the video from the court room, you should check out Radar Online’s video. If you don’t have the inclination, let me give you a condensed version as I see it.

So after sitting in the court room with Adnan for at least 30 minutes, the D.A. decided to wait for the cameras to roll and try to have Adnan served with not only a restraining order on behalf of the allged victim Ram Maskowtiz, but also a second restraining order for Britney Spears!!! I guess turing around in her seat and handing the restraining order papers to Adnan and his lawyer before the cameras rolled would have been to easy. So rather than do it the easy way, the D.A. decided to risk looking like a fool live on the internet and have double the restraining orders against Britney Spears issued under the guise of Maskowtiz’s order. Adnan’s lawyer seemed to expect the restraining order from Maskowtiz, but was close to outraged to hear that the D.A. was in a sense recruited by Jaime Spears to serve the second pointless restraining order.

In the D.A.’s defense, Jaime Spears’ lawyers are pretty intimidating. Fortunately, the judge saw through the media ploy and denied the second restraining orders. And by the way, did you also see the embarrassment on the D.A.’s face when Adnan’s lawyer showed the court the blacked out pages of the supposed photos of the scene of the crime?!?! Priceless. I almost felt sorry for her.

UPDATE: Apparently the RadarOnline link isn’t working. I’m working on trying to find another link.

Britney Spears’ former boyfriend Adnan Ghalib was in a Van Nuys court this morning, and it looks like his legal problems aren’t going away anytime soon.

TMZ reports a judge ruled there is enough evidence to try Ghalib for felony assault with a deadly weapon, felony battery and felony hit-and-run, all charges stemming from an incident in which he allegedly hit a process server with his car. A temporary restraining order was granted on behalf of alleged victim Ram Maskowtiz against Ghalib. The judge refused to add Britney Spears, her two sons and her father Jamie, to the order because a permanent restraining order already obtained by her conservatorship is in place until 2012.

Ghalib will be back in court May 18 for a preliminary hearing which will set a trial date. His attorney claims photos from a security camera of the alleged crime scene will vindicate his client.

The legal woes keep mounting for Britney Spears’ former BF Adnan Ghalib.

Ghalib already faces three felony charges resulting from an incident in which he was driving a car that hit a court officer trying to serve him with a restraining order. TMZ reports he is being sued by Ram Moskowitz, who claims Ghalib “maliciously” struck him with a car, sending him flying onto the hood, then driving 30 – 40 yards. 

Ghalib’s problems began when Britney’s dad Jamie Spears, who heads the conservatorship which controls her life, requested a temporary restraining order against him, the singer’s ex-manager Sam Lufti, and attorney Jon Eardley. The order against Adnan has been extended until 2012, barring him from any contact with Britney for the next three years.

Adnan Ghalib arrived at Van Nuys Court this morning for the beginning of his felony assault trial.

He certainly cleans up nice! A very well-suited Adnan Ghalib made his appearance in Van Nuys, CA, court  this morning. A judge continued his case until next month. Wear this suit again, OK?

Adnan Ghalib may be able to keep his freedom, but he had to give up his firearm.

TMZ reports that in February, Britney Spears’ former BF sold his Hi-Point C-9 to a licensed gun dealer, supposedly to satisfy the terms of the restraining order placed against him by the conservatorship running the pop star’s life. The restraining order has since been extended for three years.

Ghalib appeared in court today to get a continuance of the felony case against him, which alleges he  tried to run down a process server with his car. The court officer was attempting to serve the papers for the restraining order.

Adnan hasn’t been convicted of anything, and none of the charges pending against him involve use of a firearm. Can they really force a person to give up his guns just because another party files a restraining order against him?

Adnan Ghalib appeared in a Van Nuys court this morning for a preliminary hearing in his felony assault case, but he didn’t stay long.

TMZ reports a judge granted the request of Adnan’s defense team for a continuation until May 4. Adnan has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon, battery and hit and run for allegedly hitting a process server with his car. 

JFX photos and video from Adnan’s court appearance are coming soon.
