Britney Spears is planning to marry her paparazzo lover Adnan Ghalib, and convert to his faith, Islam, it has been revealed.

Adnan is from the UK, of Pakistani descent, and one of his relatives told said: "Although his father has disowned him, there is still a way back, if Britney became a Muslim and they got married."

Britney has even been threatening to fake her own death to start a new life with him in Pakistan.

A close pal revealed that the troubled singer wants the ceremony to be conducted by a minister from the Church of Scientology, adding that her whole clan is in a state of shock.

Britney is said to have announced her exciting news last week on a beach in Mexico, where she fled by private jet with Ghalib.

It seems Adnan Ghalib got his green card by marrying an American girl and that he told his family he intended to get close to Britney so he could get exclusive pictures of her to sell to the tabloids.
