Britney's got a brand new man

Britney Spears has set tongues wagging in LA recently after being seen several times with this mystery guy.

He's said to be her former counsellor, John Sundahl, a 38-year-old real estate developer, and the two have kept very close company in recent days - including an intimate dinner - fuelling speculation there might be more to it.

The pair were spotted out and about in LA, where they dined at the Four Seasons and later set off to watch the musical Wicked before returning to the hotel together.

Spears has had a string of dalliances since splitting for her husband Kevin Federline, including brief romances with little known model Isaac Cohen and music producer J.R. Rotem.

The singer has reportedly also hired a private detective to spy on her mother and record her phone calls. Britney was livid when she found out mother Lynne has been calling ex Federline to arrange visits to she her grandchildren.

Meanwhile, the singer has offered an apology and a bizarre explanation for attacking a photographer's car with an umbrella earlier this year following a visit to her ex-husband Kevin Federline's home.

She wrote on her website: "I apologise to the pap for a stunt that was done 4 months ago regarding an umbrella."

Is Britney mixing business with pleasure?

"I was preparing my character for a roll [sic] in a movie where the husband never plays his part so they switch places accidentally.

"I take all my rolls [sic] very seriously and got a little carried away. Unfortunately I didn't get the part."

The attack occurred during the star's very public meltdown in February, just days before she checked into rehab.
