Love is in the air for Britney Spears!

After a string of failed relationships with paparazzo Adnan Ghalib and a devastating divorce from Kevin Federline, Britney Spears has finally found a new man.

Spears, 27, is reportedly dating her agent, Jason Trawick, People.com reports.

“They are totally and definitely dating,” the source says. “Her dad loves him. He’s the best thing that happened to her.”
The report ends months of speculation revolving around the couple’s questionably close relationship.

The singer is said to have “always had a crush” on Trawick, who happens to be one of her brother Bryan’s best friends.

The couple recently took a vacation in the Bahamas with her sons, Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden, 2, in May.

“They’re very sweet together,” the source says. “He makes Britney really happy, and he’s great with the boys.”

Spears’s rep had no comment.

A former TMZ photographer sued Britney Spears on Friday over an incident in which his foot was run over.

Ricardo Mendoza filed a civil lawsuit in Los Angeles on Friday against her, claiming that Spears negligently operated her car and committed assault and battery when she ran over his foot in Beverly Hills on Oct. 18, 2007.

Several media outlets picked up footage of the incident, including celebrity gossip site TMZ, where Mendoza worked at the time.

TMZ, which first reported the lawsuit, auctioned off his tire-stained sock and donated the proceeds to charity.

Mendoza is also suing a pair of Spears’ companies, claiming their agents should have known that Spears wasn’t capable of properly driving the vehicle.

The incident happened during a turbulent period for Spears, who hours earlier had lost custody of her two sons. The singer, whose most recent album is “Circus,” has since regained visitation rights.

Her father, Jamie, has maintained control of the 27-year-old Spears’ personal and financial affairs since February 2008.

Spears was accused of running over another photographer’s foot a month after the incident involving Mendoza, but prosecutors said in that incident it was more the photographer’s fault. They declined to press charges.

An e-mail message sent to Spears’ publicist seeking comment was not immediately returned Friday.

Britney Spears’ former bodyguard filed a lawsuit against the pop star, confirms.

According to court documents that were filed Monday, Kerry Vine claims he sustained physical injuries while working at her former home at the Summit in Beverly Hills in March 2008.

Advanced Security Concepts negligently operated their business thereby causing injuries to [Vine] who worked for [Spears] at the time,” Vine’s attorney, Charles Swain, wrote. “[Spears] breached that duty of care to the plaintiff by failing to ensure that he could safely perform duties that Advanced Security Concepts ordered him to perform.”

Vine is suing Spears for personal injury, battery and negligence for which he claims he has suffered lost wages, medical and hospital costs, and loss of personal property and earning capacity.

The next hearing is scheduled for Sept. 2.
