Coming off a stressful day - and night - Britney Spears clearly just wanted a night to herself.

We caught up with Brit chatting away with her new assistant at the gas station last night.

The pop princess played coy with the paps for a few minutes before heading for the familiar confines of her home (with a quick stop at the Beverly Wilshire for good measure).

No Adnan, no posing for the press...no problem!
