Britney's Team Kills Twitter

Like OMG for reals, Britney is on the Twitterand you can totally do what she is doing right after she does it... or maybe you can just do what her PR team is saying she's doing... or maybe you can just do what her Social Media team wants you to think she is doing...

Meteorologist Moonlights as a Recruiter... And doesn't know it.
