Spears employs Lohan's bodyguard

Britney Spears has hired Lindsay Lohan's former bodyguard, reports say.

He was seen driving the car that collected the singer following her release from hospital yesterday.

He is said to have trained with the Israeli army and is known for getting rid of photographers. He allegedly chased and threatened a snapper who kicked Lohan last October.

Spears has been spotted driving around LA with boyfriend Adnan Ghalib since her departure from the UCLA Medical Centre.

Her parents have said they fear for her life after she left the facility ten days earlier than expected.
