'Britney Spears dead' rumor quickly spread across the Internet.
The pop singer's Twitter page was targeted by hackers on Saturday. One announced her death to her two million followers, saying: "Britney has passed today. It is a sad day for everyone. More news to come."
A Twitter statement made by Britney's representatives soon after said: "Britney's Twitter was just hacked. The last message is obviously not true. She is fine and dandy spending a quiet day at home relaxing."
