Britney Spears Has A New Gentleman Friend
Britney Spears, who returned home this weekend from a quick visit home to Kentwood, LA last week, was spotted out and about in SoCal last night being driven by a handsome young man in a shiny black Porsche …

… the couple made their way to dinner together in Bel Air, CA — could it be that new lurve is in the air? And just who, pray tell, is this new dude? After the jump, check out a couple pictures of the gent with his face uncovered and see for yourself …
HMMM … as far as I can tell, this guy isn’t someone that Britney has been seen with before, but he sure does look like a cutie:

It’s absolutely unclear at this point what the nature of their relationship is but it does seem curiously intimate that this new guy is driving our dear Britney in a fancy car, just the two of them, to dinner (possibly a date?!). Might this be the beginning of a beautiful friendship or are we witnessing the burgeoning of a new love affair? I’m gonna hafta keep my eye on this one. What do y’all think … friend or fling?

Ugh – old Britney behaviour. Say it ain’t so!
November 18th, 2008 at 7:48 am

Hope so….its about to has a nice lookin guy. she is always with ugly losers. Shes to hott to be alone!
November 18th, 2008 at 7:52 am
It’s her driver. What you don’t see is the picture from the same night of a bodyguard going apeshit on the Paparazzi with an umbrella.

I agree with Lex. He looks like a dancer or something, probably gay. New BFF potential? Probably. Dating? I don’t think so.

WOAH.
hello cutie.
well,
better than kevin federline .
you must agree : )
November 18th, 2008 at 8:06 am
He is VERY attractive… almost too attractive to be straight? I am betting that it is a friend. A very attractive friend… but one that she can check out guys with… :)
November 18th, 2008 at 8:11 am
he’s gorgeous!
November 18th, 2008 at 8:12 am
Coco, my thoughts exactly… High probability of gayness.
November 18th, 2008 at 8:15 am
I hope he has a job…Just saw pictures from Britney’s new video it looks like they stole the set from Christina Hurt Video…It looks like Britney LOVED Christina Back To Basic tour video the circus theme one thing but 20s’30s theme to much.

He’s good looking, but as gay as a picnic basket. I hope he’s a good friend, because that’s what she needs right now.
November 18th, 2008 at 8:28 am
WOW if hes Britney’s new love interest!…. hes hot and well dressed! Britney deserves a man like him… NO KEVIN’S PLEASE!!!! … but he really does look like he could be gay or one of her dancers…
BRITNEY I APPROVE ;);)

His name is Shannon Holtzapffel AND I think he’s kim vo’s britney hairdresser’s assisant and yes he’s as gay as the day is long
November 18th, 2008 at 8:42 am
my bad he’s her backup dancer http://www.shannonholtz.com/Home.aspx

If that’s a date, she needs to work on her date attire. At least wash your hair girlfriend!
November 18th, 2008 at 9:35 am
Ha ha!!! He looks SO thrilled to be photographed with her.
November 18th, 2008 at 9:38 am
I’m guessing he is gay, and may be one of her assistants….he is too pretty to be straight!
November 18th, 2008 at 10:16 am
At least he is good looking. He is a big step up from the guys of the recent past.
November 18th, 2008 at 10:34 am
He’s too hot to be straight, he’s prob just a friend, a very handsome friend :)
I *know* that in the next weeks we will hear more about him, and how he already dated Lance Bass :(
November 18th, 2008 at 10:44 am
Awww, leave Ms. Pillpoppin Spears alone… she could be photographed with George Bush and you all would think he was bangin her on the side. Who cares…
November 18th, 2008 at 10:59 am
I dunno. I have this thing where I can find a guy TOO good looking. He’s an example of this. He’s just TOO pretty, too…I dunno, chiseled. Too far removed from hot regular guy. Know what I’m sayin’?
November 18th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Yep, he’s hot.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:03 am
If that boy is straight… Then I’m loosing my gaydar quicker then Britney lost her kids (no offense brit brit, I HEART you!)
But look at that face! Perfect foundation for his skin tone, just a smidge of gloss… not to mention he has that look like he’s been sucking on a lemon (aka gay face.)
Either he is gay, or my jealousy is making me see fuzzy.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:55 am
The guy is gay. As soon as I saw the pic of him standing there, my gaydar went off. I can’t believe you actually thought he might be Brit’s boyfriend. I am in interior design I used to work with a whole showroom of gay guys for several years so my gaydar is pretty accurate.
November 18th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay
is all i can think about after seeing his pics..
HAHAH!!
November 18th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Okay, still if he’s gay, he is still HOT!
November 18th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
gayer than blazes.
November 18th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Nicole – I don’t believe Britney is copying Christina or taking her theme when she did “Back to the Basics” or anything. Britney has done this theme before, just look at her 2004 Onyx Hotel Tour with all the cabaret and what not… its pretty much the same thing.
I don’t think anyone is copying anybody.
November 18th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
he is gay. friend for sure.
November 18th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Says that he is doing the Mannequin promo. So i’m guessing Mannequin is the third single from “Circus” album.
November 18th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
HAHA, dude. he does look gay, but it should be just a friend. I don’t think the new Brit will go back to her old ways. I HOPE NOT.
November 18th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
I hope for her sake this guy is straight because damn he is FINE specimen of a man! And you know girlfriend definitely deserves to have some fun right about now… although I do have to agree that no straight men are THAT hot… *sigh* unfortunately…
November 18th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
He’s not her type, in my opinion. Someone like Justin is – good looking but in a more “really hot guy next door” down to earth way. This guy is TOO good looking and from the way he is dressed……I have to lean towards gay or super Italian! lol
November 18th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
he’s totally registering on my gaydar.
and, um, ick!
November 19th, 2008 at 7:37 am
he definitely looks better than k.fed
HOT!
November 20th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
Wish I could see a better pic!
