OK...
Britney Spears has been offered a 'virtual receptionist' job with PETA. The troubled singer, who has been criticised by the animal rights group for wearing fur and buying animals from pet stores in the past, has been contacted by PETA president Ingrid Newkirk offering her the position and the chance to raise $1,000 for her favourite charity.
Newkirk wrote in a letter to Spears, "You would see - from the inside - why we are so concerned about issues like fur and homeless dogs and cats. As a thank you for your willingness to learn and help, we would donate $1,000 to a children's charity... We might have criticised you in the past for contributing to the dog overpopulation crisis and wearing real fur, but perhaps now that your own crisis has abated, a new day calls for a new relationship, a new outlook and a new understanding."
Newkirk was said to be "very impressed" by Britney's performance on TV last week, and thinks she would be a welcome addition to the PETA team. PETA is yet to receive a response from Britney.
