Britney Spears Relaunches Web Site; Traffic Trial Goes To Jury

Britney Spears Relaunches Web Site; Traffic Trial Goes To Jury

In the same week that she made a historic jump on the Billboard singles chart with "Womanizer," Britney Spears added another notch to her budding do-over belt with the relaunch of her official Web site, where she promised to give her fans unprecedented access to her backstage life.
In a black-and-white vlog post in which the bright-eyed singer appears to be sitting on a bed, she addresses the camera and explains, "Hi everybody, welcome to the new BritneySpears.com. I want to thank you for all of your support, it really means a lot to me. I'm going to take you where no paparazzi lens ever could. I'll be updating the site all the time with new videos and photos and lots of other cool stuff." According to the site, the video was recorded while Spears was shooting some other "fun interviews for the site" as a crew from Entertainment Tonight waited outside the door to speak to her. "But Brit took some time out of her busy schedule to record a message for you guys!" a message on the site reads.
