As you may have heard (but don’t really care) Britney Spears and her paparazzi friend Adnan Ghalib supposedly got hitched in Mexico. We all know this is yet another Britney publicity stunt. But it seems some of the photo agencies are just now figuring it all out. A few of the photo agencies have issued orders to their photographers to stop chasing Britney.

Allegedly, they claim, the LA Crips – or is it the Bloods – have infiltrated their ranks and are being paid by other agencies to rough their photographers up. But one agency that I spoke to said the real reason the paps are backing off is because Britney has brokered side deals with a couple of photo agencies through her now husband Ghalib – who is still married to his wife – which may or may not be illegal.

It seems Britney and Adnan are raking in the cash by selling exclusive access to their silly adventures so Adnan’s agency can benefit. This wouldn’t be the first time celebs have brokered such deals to set up so-called “candid” shots (Angelina Jolie has a similar deal with People magazine). But Britney’s deal is probably by far the most lucrative.
