Yesterday if you’d told me I would ever be grateful to write about Britney Spears, I would have told you that you were full of crap. But after 15 hours of writing all about the sad passing of Heath Ledger, I couldn’t be happier to write about the relatively fluffy existence of Britney Spears. Her craziness feels almost like an emotional vacation right now.

Though it was widely believed that Britney had broken up with her obsessed paparazzi boyfriend (it was even reported that she’d filed a restraining order against him, though that still hasn’t been substantiated) it appears Adnan Ghalib has wormed his way back into Brit’s life/checking account. He gave a tell-all interview to “Entertainment Tonight” and “The Insider” last night, in which he blabbed all about his relationship and how normal and loving Britney Spears is. Because it’s totally normal to tell the press that “You’re better off being homeless than being me,” as Britney did the other day. I swear to God, I’ve never wanted to commit violence against another person like I did when I heard Britney Spears say that. Sorry for the little diatribe there. Anyway it appears Adnan’s not as delusional as we’d hoped: he and Brit have been spotted together several times since his interview. But he’s not quite as gross and skeezy as he once was: he’s now officially separated. Awesome.

Ghalib told Entertainment Tonight and The Insider that the relationship is “far from over.” (Indeed, the two were spotted together that night.)

He also insisted that he wasn’t paid for the two-part interview and that he didn’t get involved with Spears as a way to sell pictures. “No, never,” he said. “In time I think people will understand that.”

Asked if he wants to marry Spears, the paparazzo, 35, responded, “I’d be lying if I said no.”

Holy gross. The thought of anyone wanting to marry a wreck like Britney Spears is flabbergasting. But Adnan Ghalib has these Svengali qualities to him that make him so creepy and disgusting – the thought of us having to endure years of pictures of him with Britney is really upsetting.

Adnan also went on to divulge all sorts of B.S. about what a great person Britney is. How much do you think she had to pay him to say that?

On her hospitalization following a Jan. 3 standoff with police: “She didn’t understand why she was taken to the hospital,” he said. “She didn’t feel the need to be there.” As for the photographs of Spears laughing as she was wheeled out on a gurney, “I think she was just afraid of what was going to happen. It doesn’t mean you are crazy.”

On Spears being photographed buying a pregnancy test: “She has a very maternal instinct,” Ghalib said of their recent Rite Aid run. (Photos of the trip were sold by his own photo agency, FinalPixx.) “She was feeling a lot of things she said she felt when she was pregnant. I think she was hoping she was pregnant with my child.”

On losing visitation rights with her kids Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1: “Her primary focus is on re-establishing a relationship with [them],” he said. “She doesn’t talk about a strategy to get them back. That’s something that’s very private to her. She loves those kids – it pains her a lot ”

On Britney’s mental state: “She is not crazy at all,” he said, despite reports claiming that she is bipolar and has suffered from postpartum depression. (Some have even suggested she may have multiple personalities.) He also dismissed talk that Spears wrote a suicide note before her January meltdown. “She never has suicidal tendencies,” he said. “You’ve got to understand the love she has for her kids outweighs anything else.”

Britney Spears has a maternal instinct? Well sure, if leaving your kids in the sink is a maternal instinct, she’s definitely on board. And laughing like a deranged lunatic when you’re wheeled away to a locked mental ward? That is absolutely a normal reaction to fear. I’m sure Adnan knows Britney’s as crazy as they get – but it’s not nice to say that about your meal ticket. I give them another 18 days – max – before they break up again. Probably because she’ll try to lock him in the trunk and leave him there.
