Spears Offered Receptionist Job By Peta

Pop star-turned-sitcom secretary Britney Spears has been offered a job working as a real receptionist for animal rights group People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (Peta).

Inspired by Spears' recent performance as a secretary on U.S. comedy show How I Met Your Mother, Peta president Ingrid E. Newkirk has made the Toxic singer a written job offer.

Peta bosses, who insist their offer isn't an early April Fool's Day (01Apr08) joke, are targetting Spears because she has previously worn fur and bought animals from pet stores.

Spears' Mum Refuses To Talk About Britney On Tv

Spears' Mum Refuses To Talk About Britney On Tv.... Britney Spears' mum Lynne reportedly pulled out of a 6 June (07) appearance on morning show The View when she realised the topic of conversation would focus on her daughter's demons.

Lynne Spears was hoping to promote a new business deal on the show and insisted she wouldn't talk about her daughter's recent rehab stint and recovery.

But, as she made plans to appear on the show, she learned the four co-hosts of the popular programme were insisting on grilling her about Britney - and she cancelled, according to Life & Style magazine.

An insider tells the publication, "Lynne wouldn't do it."

The decision not to do the show has reportedly brought Britney and her mum closer together - after they fell out over rehab plans; Britney wanted to avoid counselling, but her worried mum insisted the pop star check into Promises rehab facility in Malibu, and then personally drove her there.

Family sources admit Lynne is thrilled she and her daughter are talking again. One tells Life & Style, "Lynne is more hurt than anything. She feels she sacrificed everything for Britney."
