Britney's Ex Charged With Assault

LOS ANGELES — Prosecutors have charged Britney Spears' former boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib, with three felonies including assault with a deadly weapon.

Ghalib allegedly struck a process server with his car outside his apartment on Jan. 30. The server was attempting to deliver papers notifying him that Britney Spears' father and attorneys were seeking a restraining order against him.

According to a news release, the process server clung to the hood of Ghalib's car to avoid being pinned and broke his wrist. The 36-year-old paparazzo, who has not yet been arrested, also faces battery and hit-and-run charges.

A current phone number for Ghalib could not be located. He did not appear for a Monday hearing on the restraining order.

Is Paparazzo singular for paparazzi?

Wow, being tracked and bothered by someone, just like a paparazzi! Except stars dont usually try to run over the cameraman!

This guy is a total jerk, thinks he is above the law? He is a nobody who knew Brittany, BFD!

Yes, it is Italian and comes from the movie La Dolce Vita. It was the last name of a photographer in the movie, and it became a wildly used word afterwards. the word itself comes from an Italian dialect and means "buzzing" or "annoying noise" (like the sound lots of cameras make when snapping pictures). Paparazzo is singular, and in Italian, in order to make word plural when it ends in -o, you take away the -o and add an -i, thus you get paparazzi.
