Like Jeff Goldblum, Britney Spears was the victim of the celebrity death hysteria following the very real deaths of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett in 2009. In this case, it was Britney’s Twitpic account that was hacked, resulting in a picture of a cross being tweeted out with the message “Britney has passed today. It is a sad day for everyone. More news to come.” It wouldn’t be long before Britney went from fake-dying to fake-pledging her soul to the Prince of Darkness, as later that year her hacked account tweeted the message “I give myself to Lucifer every day for it to arrive as quickly as possible. Glory to Satan!”
