Britney Finds Love in Rehab

We all heard about Britney's mystery-man in rehab, and his identity didn't stay secret for long.

It's none other then Howie Day!

Whose Howie Day you ask? Remember that song "Collide" that played on the radio over and over? That guy.

Britney it would seem is sticking to her preference for bad-boys, as Howie landed himself in rehab after an arrest for disorderly conduct and verbally abusing flight staff when drunk. Britney reportedly spent time getting to know Howie in their group therapy sessions and felt they had a "connection".

Howie's identity was unknown save for rumors of Britney having a tryst with a sexy tennis partner in rehab. That was until his PR agent went public to the "New York Post" this week about the new romance, no doubt hoping for some publicity.

Friends close to Britney say that she had planned on going public with the new relationship at her cousin Erin's wedding this summer. Another friend told "Life and Style” magazine this week that "Britney just lights up when she talks to Howie or tells people about him. She thinks he's very talented and says he's the best kisser."

With her divorce out of the way and her rehab days behind her, Britney and Howie might just have a shot. He's expected to be leaving rehab later this week, ready to finish his new album. With that ETA and the media attention that follows Britney, we could be seeing some cute couple photos as early as next week.
