(showbizspy.com) - Britney Spears' pals are said to be "amazed" the troubled singer has taken back her paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib.
The British born photog has been spotted making regular visits to see the Toxic star in her gated estate in the Hollywood Hills, where she lives with her dad, Jamie -- who became her co-conservator after a legal order earlier this year. There are also rumors swirling that Ghalib has a huge tape collection of himself and Britney having sex together -- and Brit wants to ensure they don't get a wider audience.
A source reveals, "Everyone is amazed that Brit has taken him back. Perhaps she couldn't live without him but these rumors keep going round that he's got some naughty tapes and that Brit is determined to get her hands on them.
"It seems extraordinary but with Brit you can never rule anything out!
"Britney's dad won't be happy he's back on the scene. He thinks he's seedy, with ulterior motives."
However, Britney's mom, Lynne, thought Adnan's intentions were "semi-honorable," says the source.
