Britney Spears' Ex Boyfriend Warns Off Attacker
Adnan Ghalib has given a stern warning to the person who stabbed him following his attempts to sell a sex tape he made with Britney Spears.
The paparazzo allegedly filmed himself romping with the pop wreck when they both embarked on a romantic trip to Mexico last year.
However, it resulted in Ghalib being set upon by an angry attacker who didn’t want him to release to toxic footage on the web.
He reveals: "Yes I was injured by an attacker. This is still being investigated.
"I can't say much about the cowardly attack other than: a) you better come a lot stronger than that if you want to make a point and b) most will be surprised by those behind it.
"I have had many calls about it from all over the world. In light of the constant calls about the sex tape and threats, I'm taking a break from the industry and keeping a low profile."

Stars turn out for Empire Film Awards
The annual Empire Film Awards took place in London last night and a host of A-list movie stars turned up for the event.
The Best Film award went to Paul Greengrass' 'The Bourne Ultimatum' and the 'United 93' director was there on the night with his leading man, Matt Damon.
Accepting the award, Damon said: "I want to say thank you to the readers of Empire because I don't get many awards and I don't get nominated for a lot of awards but when I do I tend to lose out to more younger, talented, better-looking guys like James McAvoy."
He added: "I'd also like to salute the one-time loser Paul Greengrass over there, my friend who got out-directed by the other guys in the category he was nominated for."
The Best Director award went to David Yates for 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'.
Damon lost out on the Best Actor gong to James McAvoy who won for his role in 'Atonement' and McAvoy had this to say about the film magazine: "I used to get it all the time as a kid, I still get it now if I'm being honest... this year's been amazing for intelligent film, for good film."
He added: "What Empire has done is to tell people what to see and well done this year for getting people to see the good stuff."
McAvoy's co-star Keira Knightley received the Best Actress award but due to filming commitments was not present at the ceremony.
The Empire Icon Award went to Ewan McGregor and describing the title of the award the magazine said: "...it's in no way a Lifetime Achievement Award with a different name, so he doesn't think that he's about to peg it!"
Accepting the award, McGregor said: "I've been so lucky to work with a great many talented and passionate actors and directors and occasionally producers and so I'd like to thank you all."
'Control's' Sam Riley received the Best Newcomer award for his performance as Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis and the film also picked up the award for Best Soundtrack.
'Hot Fuzz' was voted as Best Comedy and the Best Thriller award went to 'American Gangster'.
The Empire Inspiration Award went to 'Pan's Labyrinth' director Guillermo del Toro.

"Idol" winner Cook scores digital hit with "Life"
LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - It's the first time songs performed on "American Idol" have been made available for immediate download on iTunes -- and the audience's ability to make an instant-gratification purchase has paid off handsomely for winner David Cook.
Cook's "The Time of My Life," first performed during the "American Idol" results show May 21, has since tallied 236,000 downloads, making it No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart and helping to land it the No. 3 spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
In fact, Cook has 14 songs from the "American Idol" season on Hot Digital Songs, with "Dream Big" at No. 7 with 110,000 downloads and his version of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" at No. 9 with 98,000 downloads. All told, Cook sold 888,000 downloads of his songs in one week.
It has been a similar whirlwind for Cook since his win, as he shuttles between press appointments and photo shoots. He's discovering that being the star of the country's biggest reality show -- 31.7 million people watched the finale on Fox -- sometimes has its surreal moments.
"I loved my time on the show, but I've been looking forward to just being able to get back to the creative process of writing and recording," he says. "It's going to be interesting to be able to play a song and not have to wonder where 'camera A' is."
For most of June, Cook will focus on rehearsals for the American Idols Live tour, which features the top 10 finalists and runs for almost three months. The trek begins July 1 in Glendale, Arizona, and wraps September 13 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
"It's going to be more of a mini-concert for everybody," he says. "There will be some group numbers (and) some duets, but for the most part I think everybody gets to do at least three songs. I've always loved the idea of waking up in a different city every day, so to be able to do that on this kind of scale is going to be an experience."
And then, after the tour, comes the transition period from day-in and day-out "American Idol" mania to establishing a voice as a musician separate from the show.

Justin Timberlake to wed Jessica Biel?
Justin Timberlake is reportedly preparing to propose to Jessica Biel amid rumours that the 26-year-old actress is pregnant.
The Sun reports that 27-year-old Timberlake is ready to settle down with Biel, whom he began dating just over a year ago.
The Hollywood actress has sparked rumours in some quarters that she is pregnant after a source close to the couple revealed that she has been avoiding alcoholic drinks.
A source told the newspaper: "Justin is 27 and thinking about marriage and kids. For the first time in his life he is feeling settled and has definitely decided to pop the question to Jessica.
"He is so happy with her. They spent quite a bit of time apart recently when Justin was working with Madonna. That made him certain Jessica was the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with."
According to The Sun, Timberlake is considering the West Indian island of Mustique for the pair's wedding.
The island is privately owned, meaning that paparazzi would be unable to take photos of the couple and their guests.
The source told the newspaper: "Although Justin has lived his whole life in the public eye, he feels his wedding is the one day that should remain private. To get all his close friends and family to Mustique will cost a fortune. But he can't put a price on how he feels about Jessica."
