Britney Escapes Home, Surfaces in Palm Desert

Britney Spears was able to elude the swam of photographers outside her L.A. home today for a trip to Palm Desert with photographer Adnan Ghalib, according to reports.
Brit, who was released from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center yesterday morning, showed up at the Daily Grill restaurant, where she reportedly swigged champagne and shared an hourlong breakfast.
X17online.com reports that Britney is now at Santa Monica's Shutters Hotel with the photog, whom she has been spotted with recently. The two even reportedly spent New Year's Eve together with her two sons.
Meanwhile, Dr. Phil, who met with Britney just before her release, is promising to reveal more details about their intimate conversation. He is insisting that Brit is "in dire need" of help.
