After her mobile couple years ago now her Twitter account.

Let’s just make something clear: Britney Spears is alive and well. So are Ellen DeGeneres and Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Apparently, the pop star and the comedienne’s TwitPic accounts were hacked over the weekend. TwitPic is a web-based messaging system that allows Twitter users to post pictures. It is not, however, owned by Twitter.

The total twit perpetrator must have thought it would be funny to add these celebs’ names to the frighteningly growing list of deaths over the past week.

“Britney has passed today,” one of the messages said. “It is a sad day for everyone. More news to come.”

Thankfully, Brit-Brit joins Harrison Ford and Jeff Goldblum among the stars whose fake death notices spread throughout the Internet this week.

“Britney’s Twitter was just hacked,” her current message reads. “The last message is obviously not true. She is fine and dandy spending a quiet day at home relaxing.”

Phew!

Diddy, DeGeneres and Spears have all since deleted the photos and messages alleging their deaths.

This isn’t Spears’ first run-in with a Twitter hacker. The Circus star’s account was violated in January, along with handles for Barack Obama and Fox News. And, just two weeks ago, Lindsay Lohan claimed comments about Justin Timberlake at a club appeared courtesy of a hacker.
