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!
I thin is a friend, maybe a dancer or something…
Hope so….its about to has a nice lookin guy. she is always with ugly losers. Shes to hott to be alone!
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 : )
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… :)
he’s gorgeous!
Coco, my thoughts exactly… High probability of gayness.
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.
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
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!
Ha ha!!! He looks SO thrilled to be photographed with her.
I’m guessing he is gay, and may be one of her assistants….he is too pretty to be straight!
At least he is good looking. He is a big step up from the guys of the recent past.
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 :(
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…
