Will Britney convert to Islam and marry again?
2008-01-13
Troubled ...
... reeeeeeaaalllly? ...
... Britney Spears is rumoured to have concocted a bizarre plot to marry her photographer boyfriend in a bid to win back her children.

After a whirlwind two-week romance with Adnan Ghalib, the pop star has apparently told friends she wants to marry her new man and convert to Islam. The twice-married singer, 26, has been in hiding in Los Angeles with Ghalib since her public meltdown last week which saw her lose custody of her two sons to ex Kevin Federline.

The mixed-up pop princess then extended an invitation to her lover's family to visit them in the US when she has got over her problems. The biggest of which is probably tomorrow's custody hearing which will decide whether she will be able to see children Sean Preston, two, and one-year-old Jayden James.

Last night a source close to Britney said: "Monday's court hearing is D-Day for her and the kids. While she's been swanning around with Adnan, Kevin's been preparing for the court showdown to end them all. He has no confidence in her ability to look after either herself or the children."
I don't have much confidence in him, but he does seem to be the lesser of the two evils here ...
However, a close friend of Britney revealed how fragile the star was. "She's been discussing all these wacky plans to reinvent her life and convince the courts she is a good mother. She has discussed in depth a fake death, moving abroad and even plastic surgery. It is scary to hear her romanticise about these insane plans. She believes she could spend six months away and make a comeback as Britney the world's best mother."

It has been claimed that Ghalib is planning to make a fortune out his relationship with Britney and that he has been plotting to steal the singer's heart since 2006. Since her public breakdown Adnan has stuck close to Britney's side.

Now family friends of Adnan reckon his family would only accept Britney if she changed religion.
Good bet, that's how it works on many an occasion, isn't it?
A friend said: "Adnan's mother and father are very religious and go to the mosque every day. They are strict when it comes to their religion and would never accept a non-Muslim into the family, let alone a white girl.

"If Britney and Adnan were serious about each other, then she would have to change her religion, and even then they may have difficulty accepting her. Some Muslims do not insist on conversion, but I know Adnan's family well and they would want Britney to change."

#19  sinse, it's not just the nanny, they could hire a driver.

Or throw a party at their own house. But then the point is to be seen and then complain about it isn't it.

#16  Britney Spears and RF (Timmy's mom) - a matched pair from different ends of the financial spectrum, but alike in thinking they can bamboozle the justice system. I'd classify both as mental midgets, but that would be extremely insulting to midgets - of any stripe.

#15  Give her a break, folks. She's stressed and just has not thought the thing through. She's just thinkin' out loud through the MSM.

#11  Well if I were a judge a whim switch to a religion that makes you property and kills you when you change your mind and decide to leave the religion would certainly influence my child custody decisions. No doubt about it.

#5  Been a long time since I law school and domestic relations/probate classes, but I expect the upcoming hearings to be quite a show. Wondering what the relevant standards and authorities are for committing someone past the age of majority into a mental health institution? She seems to be several acts past an act which could harm herself or the community - the kids are probably gone from her, and she may be soon too.

#2  Beat her lightly when she is disrespectful. Sounds like a plan.

#1  Because nothing says respectability, stability and wholesome values like a Dark Ages rape cult. On the one hand I am opposed to any woman wearing a bin bag in public. On the other hand a burka might - might - be sufficiently tent-like to prevent Britney from flashing her fanny at the world every time she exits an SUV. So let's call this Secular Decadence 0 : Islam 1.
