Britney Plans New Marriage and Conversion to Islam

As if everything else weren't enough, former teen pop idol Britney Spears is reportedly planning to marry her latest boyfriend, photographer Adnan Ghalib.

Because he comes from a devout family, sources speculate that Britney would have to covert to Islam before marriage. According to friends, she has expressed an interest in doing just that. She reportedly believes that remarrying will help her get her children back.

Meanwhile, a hearing to determine whether the revocation of Britney's custody will stand, is set for Monday.
