Maybe you’ve noticed that every Britney Spears story starts out with a question - but believe me, it’s not by design. Everything she does these days seems a little…well, questionable.

The pop star is continuing her decline into weirdness, still speaking in an English-like lilt and having fun at the expense of the paparazzi. A video of Brit has surfaced on the ‘Net, showing the star speaking with filmers from inside her car. In it, she claims not to know Adnan Ghalib. (He’s the chap who was in the pregnancy test-shopping video, the one who was by her side when she put on her exhibitionist display at an LA boutique, the one who’s name has been in the press almost permanently since he’s been with Brit.)

“I don’t know who that is,” Spears answered when a photographer asked her about Adnan. On his Web site, however, Adnan says he hopes to in touch with Brit when he gets back to town in the next few days. Is Spears just pulling the leg of the paparazzi who hound her…or is her mental and emotional state much more precarious than even the media realized?
