Breaking News: “Britney Email Worm Wiggles Through Cyberspace!” Reuters reports.

Spears is the latest attractive female celebrity to be used by virus writers hoping to ensnare scores of would-be victims. The singer/actress Jennifer Lopez was the subject of a minor email virus threat last year.

The reigning queen of celebrity email bugs is still Russian tennis star Anna Kournikova, computer experts say.

Reached for comment, Hipster Blogger® Oliver Willis denied any involvement in generating (or perpetuating) the viral attack — though he did remind his readers that “Britney rocks!” and that, “for only a coupla’ bucks, you too can advertise on the Hipster Blogger® site! — where I say things like, ‘Britney rocks!’ pretty much 24/7.”
