Britney Spears Hospitalized with Drug Overdose?

By , About.com GuideNovember 13, 2003

Follow me on:

I haven't seen the actual email yet, but Gawker.com reports that the following "news item" has been making the inbox rounds today:
12:03 (CNN) NY - Britney Spears, the pop music diva, was rushed to New York Cornell Medical Centre early this morning with symptons of an apparent drug overdose, sources said. Ms. Spears, 22 years old, has been in New York the last week promoting the release of her latest CD, "In The Zone", and was said to be recovering after receiving medical attention. There is no timetable for her release, say those close to the situation.
"Smells like a really fast-spreading hoax to me," says Gawker, noting that sometimes the story is attributed to CNN, sometimes AP. I have to concur. No such report has appeared in any legitimate news source I could find, not to mention that curious, un-American spelling of the word "Center."

The story has a vaguely familiar ring to it, nonetheless. [Update]

Brooke,

you might want to use spell check or perhaps get educated before you make a post. Your spelling can’t be taken serious.
