Fan Site Gives Up On Britney Spears
(CBS)
A popular Britney Spears fan site is closing up shop in part because the star has lost her credibility with fans, the Web site WorldofBritney.com said in a press release issued online Wednesday.
"As Britney keeps losing her identity and credibility within fans and industry people, so is WoB. We're moving on to greater, bigger things," Ruben Garay, the Webmaster and founder of the site said in the release. "I would therefore like to announce the permanent shut down of World of Britney.com beginning January 31st, 2007."
The site, which launched in 2000, will morph into a celebrity blog, competing with blogger Perez Hilton among others, the message said.
Spears is currently working on a new album and in recent months she's settled in to a party lifestyle that has been viewed as an attempt to refurbish her pop star image.

"I think that WoB has had its run.......its feet are not holding firm anymore, not because of my ability to run it, but because I believe Britney is unfortunately done (for me at least)," the message said.Photos: Britney Spears
