Adnan Gives Up His Gun
Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
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?

Judge Issues Restraining Order Against Adnan
Wednesday, March 18th, 2009
The AP reports that following a brief hearing this morning, an L.A. judge has issued a restraining order against Britney Spears’ former boyfriend Adnan Ghalib. The restraining order will remain in effect until midnight on March 17, 2012.
Ghalib (pictured here with Britney in Jan. 2008) is ordered not to have any physical, e-mail or phone contact with Britney Spears or her family and also to not to try to act on the singer’s behalf.
Earlier this year, Britney’s father Jamie Spears sought protection on his daughter’s behalf against Ghalib, as well as her former business manager Sam Lutfi, and attorney Jon Eardley, claiming the three were attempting to interfere with his conservatorship over her affairs.
Ghalib is currently facing felony charges, including assault with a deadly weapon, resulting from an incident involving injuries to a process server attempting to serve documents in the earlier restraining order case. Ghalib has pled not guilty to all charges.
Isn’t a three-year restraining order a bit drastic when no physical violence has taken place against the complaining party? There are battered women who can’t get anything except a short TRO against a man who tried to kill them. Why is this case different? Because of fame and money?

Restraining Order Extended In Spears Case
Wednesday, February 25th, 2009
An L.A. judge has extended the temporary restraining orders against Adnan Ghalib, attorney Jon Eardley and Sam Lutfi following testimony from Britney Spears’ hairdresser that she feared Lufti.
According to the AP, hairdresser Roberta Romero testified that Spears made her comments following efforts by Lufti to contact the singer by sending her hairdresser numerous text messages saying he was trying to “free” her. Romero claimed that Spears requested she tell Sam to leave them alone and notified her security detail about the messages. Romero stated, “She told me she’s scared of him and not to talk to him.”
Britney Spears did not testify, nor did Ghalib, who was not represented in court. Attorneys for Jamie Spears attempted to call Lutfi as a witness on Wednesday, but his attorneys claimed he had not yet been served with a subpoena.The TROs remain in place until the judge hears further testimony April 1.
So where’s the evidence against Ghalib? Is there testimony against him that hasn’t been reported? If not, why is there a TRO against him in the first place? And why is Eardley in this?

A P.S.A. From JFX
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008I’m sorry to interupt our normal entertainment business here at JFX Online, but I feel compelled to clear the air about a couple things. But before I do, I want to let you guys know that we have indeed been contacted by many news outlets, photographers and random strangers since the Heat article regarding Adnan Ghalib and the alleged Britney Spears sex tape. Our statements to them usually go something like this: ‘No, Adnan has never worked for JFX and no I can not give you his phone number.’
Here are some examples of how far some are going for information on Adnan. I got a message from a photographer whom I have never spoken to before asking if I still had a certain camera body for sale, which of course, I never did. If I returned that phone call, the subject would have changed quickly to Britney and Adnan. Serg received a message from a freelance reporter saying that she was moving to a new apartment and wanted to get his advice on what part of the city to move to. Again, it’s not about the message, it’s all about trying to get us on the phone to force some quotes out of us. I even had someone posing as a collection agency trying to force Adnan’s contact information out of me. There is a certain UK magazine that calls every week offering a large sum of money for information on Adnan!
I could go on but I think you get the point.
Now this leads me to a couple of E! reporters who called our offices several times to get “contact information” for Adnan. After explaining to them that Adnan has never worked for JFX, E! went ahead with a story stating that JFX was Adnan’s former agency and that we wouldn’t give them his current contact information. So far, no one else has gone so far to make potentially libelously false statements, outside of Heat Magazines, of course, we do appreciate them helping clear the air on the alleged sex tape.
I know it sounds odd to bring up journalistic ethics when referring to entertainment news writers as many of them more than likely haven’t taken many journalism classes. But I have to. I don’t know the E! writers or if they have PhD’s. in Journalism, but given their actions, it’s likely they don’t. Seriously, what’s next? Reporters sleeping with photographers and contacts for information?!?!
We were pretty clear before regarding our friendship with Adnan but I suppose we have to re-visit it once again.
And so here it is, one last time. Adnan Ghalib has never worked for JFX Images or JFX Online. He’s a good friend of all us here at JFX. We celebrate birthdays and special events together and we consider him a good friend. We would never turn our friend over for money or favors.
