Adnan Ghalib and Britney Spearsaccidentally hit a motorcyclist! Adnan simply walked away likenothing happened!

Well here's the story: Adnan and Britney areindeed still together, and after dining at Tony Taverna's Greek Eats in Malibu, stopped by Pinkberry in Brentwood for some dessert.The two then head towards the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in BeverlyHills, but along the way are struck by a wayward motorcyclist whoreportedly was driving too close to Britney's Benz in an attempt togain a close sighting of the star! Now why would someone try to get acloser view on Britney Spears that i can't understand?Haven't we already seen her hundreds and thousands of time? Naked,drunk, wasted, you name it! So what's with that guy? Probably he's aBritney Spears freaky fan who still likes her, aftereverything she's done! Or maybe he's a paparazzi, trying to get aclear shot on these two lunatics (Britney and Adnan)! I don't knowwhat happened there for real, as one paparazzi says that Adnan wentinto him, while Adnan says the motorcyclist accidentally slipped withhis two wheels toy! In the end Adnan ask the other paps to just takethat guy's number, cause he's too busy to stay around! I call thathit and run! Of course when you're a celebrity you get specialtreatment and you don't have to answer to anyone for your actions, orso they think! Britney Spears was full of joy – as always –saying Hi nice to see ya, as she didn't really care about thatmotorcyclist guy anyway! She was more preoccupied with her cellphone!Well duh, I'm Britney Spears they can't do anything bad tome! Remember this: if you're a LA driver keep your eyes wide open,you never know who might run into you!....

Yep she was caught with herlegs wide opened while she was trying to get out of her car! So yesthis is the first Tara Reid 2008 upskirt moment! And as allthe upskirt moments this one is not that good either! I can name afew celebrities that are actually hot showing their panties, butseriously this is not Tara's case! So she looks good in bikini andtopless – that's because she's got a very tiny body and very bigboobs - , but upskirt pictures is just not good! So Tara Reidwas caught offside, well at least we get to see some fresh meat! Iwas getting tired of that Britney Spears anyway! Everyday you readabout Britney Spears doing this, doing that! Well i've hadenough with her! There are thousands of celebrities out there waitingto be caught doing something kinky or at least worthy of a laugh!Like Tara Reid was a few days ago! So maybe she's not thehottest celebrity, and yes, this is not her best day for aphotoshoot, but at least she's not Britney Spears! How's that for achange!
Rebecca White, the former personalassistant of Naomi Campbell, relates that Heath Ledger routinely wenton cocaine and ecstasy binges with Campbell! I know it's not my business tointerfere with anybody's life, but when you're a celebrity that ruledoesn't apply anymore! For the more if your name was Heath Ledgerand you die suspiciously then it's definitely my business to sniffaround a bit! It seems that no drugs were found in Heath Ledger'sapartment at the time of his death, but he did had some problems withdrugs in the past, as the former personal assistant of NaomiCampbell, Rebecca White said that Heath Ledgerroutinely went on cocaine and ecstasy binges with Campbell: “When Iwas working for Naomi I saw Heath do drugs a few times. He was new onthe scene but everybody was hailing him as the new It Boy actor. Wehad been hanging in Naomi's bungalow at the BelAir Hotel. Heath askedNaomi if she had any cocaine - I used to carry it around for her -and I remember giving him the packet and he went off, back and forththroughout the night. Rebecca said she bought Ledger cocaine afew days later. Each time I got an eight ball - four-and-a-halfgrams. The second time he came up all three of us spent a night doingcoke in her bungalow. It was quite decadent. We were there for fiveor six hours. She also saw Ledger's wild side at parties hostedby P.DIDDY, who now calls himself SEAN JOHN after his clothingline, though the rapper is well known for his aversion to drugs. Shesaid: We all went to Paris for another fashion party a coupleof weeks later. We went to one of Puffy's (Diddy) parties at thisclub. There was coke and a big bag of ecstasy pills. Naomi gave Heatha handful of these little blue pills and I remember him putting themall in his mouth at once and swigging a bottle of Cristal Champagne.”Well that's pretty obvious that Heath Ledger death might havea connection with drugs! But hey at least he died happily, as I'msure he had no idea he'll never wake up!
