Remember Britney’s paparazzo boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib? You know, the one who traveled with her to Mexico, escorted her on countless Starbucks runs and even hit her local Rite Aid to check out home pregnancy tests?

Well, apparently she doesn’t.

Fellow paparazzi quizzed Brit about her relationship this weekend when they caught up with her at the Millennium Dance Complex in North Hollywood.

When asked, “Do you have something to tell Adnan,” she replied, “I don’t know who that is…I’ve never met him before,” all in her mock British accent.

Granted, the two haven’t been spotted together in the past few days and rumors of a restraining order against Adnan were reported by a rival agency.

But Brit’s maybe man has an explanation, which he conveniently posted on the Website of his photo agency, FinalPixx:

“All I can say is I have not been in contact with Britney since early Friday morning. The reason being that I have had to attend a family funeral in Santa Barbara.”

The photog goes on to say his phone has been off out of respect for his family members, and he hopes to get back in touch with “Miss Spears” when he gets back to town.

So, whom to believe? One of Brit’s split personalities or a grieving celebrity photographer?

Don’t ask us to decide. We’re gonna hold off for now on calling this relationship over. Given Brit’s track record, she could be announcing her engagement as early as this afternoon.

Two New York firemen posing as a gay couple, psychically linked identical twins and a mild-mannered man dominated by his latex-wearing obese wife are all contenders this year for the worst screen couples in Hollywood.

Among the nominations announced on Monday for the 28th annual Golden Raspberry awards, which celebrate the worst in filmmaking, are Adam Sandler, Lindsay Lohan and Eddie Murphy for their respective work in “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry,” “I Know Who Killed Me” and “Norbit.”

It’s a double-whammy for Lohan and Murphy, who play multiple roles in their cinematic fiascoes and were nominated opposite themselves in the worst screen couple category.

“I Know Who Killed Me,” a teen thriller in which Lohan plays psychically connected twins, “is a Lindsay Lohan ‘vehicle’ that proved as dangerous for its star as any car she ever ran off the road,” said John Wilson, who heads the group that spoofs the Oscars by celebrating the year’s worst films.

“Norbit” garnered Murphy five nods for what Wilson described as a “latex-laden, nearly laugh-free ‘comedy.’”

In that film, Murphy plays Norbit, as well as his adopted Asian father and hugely obese girlfriend.

Rounding out the list is “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry,” in which Sandler and co-star Kevin James claim to be domestic partners in order to receive medical benefits, a comedy Wilson describes as a “gag-inducing ‘gay romp.’”

“I Know Who Killed Me” received a total of nine nominations by the Razzies — worst screen couple, picture, horror movie, screenplay, director, remake/rip-off, supporting actress and two nods for actress — trailed by “Norbit” and “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry,” which both received eight.

The worst film category also includes “Bratz,” based on the popular toy dolls — the four lead actresses were all named in the worst actress category in a “four-for-one deal” — and “Daddy Day Camp,” starring Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr. 

The sequel to Crock of Love starring Poison band member Bret Michaels debuted on Vh1 last weekend with a +166% increase from last years Rock of Love premiere.

The show was watched by nearly 3.7 million people and has landed itself in the top 10 most watched broadcasts in Vh1’s history.

Ahh, Season 2… can you smell that? It’s another ripe installment of lost dignity, loosely orchestrated comedy, and, if we’re lucky, cameos from people we all collectively know as “That One Guy from That TV Show” or “That One Other Guy.” Let’s see if Scott really grows up this time ’round. Sweet moment alert…he proposes to his girlfriend Rene the right way this time!
