Is She Really A Satanist? Britney Spears’ Twitter Account Hacked (Update)

No, Britney Spears is not giving herself over to Satan — but you might get that impression if you were reading her Tweets this morning. Mediaite pal Gossip Cop broke the news that  Spears’s Twitter account has ‘announced’ that she gives herself to Lucifer every day and that she awaits the New World Order.

Britney Spears’s blog had this to say: “This morning, Britney’s Twitter was hacked. We apologize for any offense the message from the hacker caused and are working with Twitter on remedying the situation as quickly as possible.”

For the time being, the hacked account is still up. It’s all the more damaging for being a verified account — and because Spears has almost four million followers. As of 9:47am, it’s still up, but it will likely go down within the next few hours.

Here are screenshots of the offending Tweets:

Update #1, 9:56am: Spears’s account looks like it’s fixed — sort of.

Update #2, 10:00am: Or not? I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE

Update #3, 10:11am: Thank heavens this trying ordeal seems to be over. And all without a single suspension of Britney’s account, it appears.
