Britney Spears

    Dear Washington Post

    Posted on October 20, 2008

    Dear Liz Kelly and The Washington Post,
     
    How could we have let Gary Coleman sneak on to the Web site? Thanks for catching the intruder, he's always trying to steal the limelight, that one! We're tightening up security since Verne Troyer tried to do the very same thing yesterday.

    Your article suggested that Team Britney might be slaves to focus groups and ad agency vetting (we are merely 'Slaves 4 U', Britney!) so we wanted to follow up to say thank you for the shout out and take this opportunity to introduce Team Britney's talented and hardworking team (only the best for Brit) one by one!

    From right to left... We have Andrew, Britney's content director who spends a lot of time with Brit to make sure her fans get the real stories first! Then we have Traci, one of two resident Britney bloggers who works hard writing many of our posts and connecting with Britney's team to round up content and get it straight to you guys. Next we have Lauren, an expert in online communities who is running Britney's online world on MySpace, YouTube, etc. And finally, we have Jennifer, Team Britney's other blogger and our resident Brit (that's British person, not Britney!) 
     
    Once again, thanks for the shout out, Liz.

    Team Britney

      OMG BRIT I LUV U!!! and i'm not going 2 say a sob story about how ur not crazy and you shaved your head let the past be the past, you have bettered yourself enough 4 people 2 have more respect 4 you, i know i do, but i always do and will have a lot of respect 4 you because you made music what it is today. If you didn't sing we wouldn't have pop and thats the truth and every1 here can agree on that. WE LOVE YOU BRITNEY!!!!

      Kudos to Britney on having four qualified people handle her online promotions. Not enough celebrities recognize the importance of their Web presence.

      Hi, Britney! I'm an italian teenager, sorry my incorrect english! However, I want you to do a song like "Oops...! I Did It Again" or "I'm A Slave 4 U"... This is only my whim, because I love your recent music. Your album "Blackout" is beautiful, and I'm sure that your new album "Circus" will be very better than "Blackout"! Your new song "womanizer" is wonderful, with its video! FINALLY, YOU ARE COMEBACK!!! I very like you and your music, and you emotions me. Thank you so much for your music! Bye bye Britney... to soon in Italy (I hope xD).

      Isn't the Washington Post supposed to be a serious news paper? Cause that article was so very childish. It sounds like something my 13 year-old sister would come up with.

      Keep up the good work with the site, Team Brit! <333

      Britney has been on a rough road, she's not mental. If she was sick, she did get help and she's better now - she is recording again, setting up a great website that puts papps out of work...she looks great. Shining those pearly whites, glowing skin, dancing and looking healthy all over...I'm proud of Britney for her endurance through her tribulations.

      I thought Britney.com was run by Song BMG...not britanica

      What are you talking about intervention? and who is britanica

      Andrew, cute.

      But we want to see what Britannica looks like. See, the fans have this theory that "she's" this middle aged socially awkward 40 year old male who tries too hard to seem "cool" and "hip" with outdated lingo and slang. Confirm or deny?

      This comment is to nameless, first of all, Britney does not have a mental illness, she went through tough times, and now with prayers from her family, and friends, Britney is back, greater than ever, she is a great person,a great performer. All Britney needed was time, her new album will be great, her song and video to womanizer is a great hit. Britney gets stronger every day. Britney has found jesus, she has a great life, Britney is a great, sweet, beautiful person. She loves her fans and we love her.

    1. nameless said:
      Oct 20 2008

      are you kidding me...this girl is sick..get her help..not praise. You don't get over mental problems that quick... PEOPLE PLEASE GET A LIFE AND LET HER LIVE HERS...SHE IS AS HUMAN AS THE REST OF US...FIND JESUS.

      I love that you guys aren’t oblivious to what’s being said out there in Britney land and not just picking and choosing (safely) what to blog about. It’s also nice to finally be able to put faces to the names. Keep up the good work ‘cause I’m coming to her page on a daily basis not just every once and a while. =D

      Everyone always seems to have an opinion about Britney-or in this case Britney related. I really wish they would just leave her alone. Anyway, glad to see Team Britney saying something! :)

      Oct 20 2008

      Oh i also wanted to say Britney passed up her crush [Brad Pitt] on the web Britney is this months most searched star. :DD I don't think Brad is going to like her after that. lol. a little fun love. lol. she better call him. hehe. to tell him she is back and he is second on the list. LOL. Britney might be scared she said he was one of her crushes.

      U guys r doing awsum job. Its a very smart and good way of letting the negative out, by putting the positive out there. They always knew brit was a sweet southern girl. But they just had too much extra time. Now when they will know direct from brit, who she is, wht she's upto, and how much she deserves. Their mouth will be stitched up. Thanks again guys

      The Post is just jealous since PageSix.com folded after only being in business for 6 months. they're lame and Liz's job is on the line as are the jobs of other newspaper writers.
