Wanna update Britney’s Facebook? You’ll need a Harvard degree

<img alt="Celebrity Blackbery Sightings" title="Celebrity Blackbery Sightings" src="http://a323.yahoofs.com/phugc/DbNoBf.S01ZV/photos/a0188e70a6ca398b0ba4a08fe96f2276/mr_c8740855210c20.jpg?ug_____DCwcx7kJk" align="left" height="400" width="266">OK, I’ll admit it: I often read celebrity blogs or MySpace pages. But unlike Lindsay Lohan who is undoubtedly the writer behind her daily rants, I’ve often wondered how many stars have their publicists and assistants manage their updates. <br><br>Britney Spears seldom acknowledges her fans without a watchful eye these days, and she’s currently searching for that perfect person to responsibly control her Twitter feed, Facebook and MySpace page. The catch? You must attend or be a graduate of Harvard. <br><br>Britney’s online manager posted a job listing for “Britney Spears 2.0 Media Manager” on a Harvard-only private message board. The Spears camp requires that “you are addicted to social networks such as MySpace and Facebook…You are a popular culture addict and passionate about the intersection of Silicon Valley and Hollywood.”<br><br>While we can’t blame Britney for taking extra care with her public image these days, does it really take a high-priced, Ivy League degree to update your Facebook status?

    Why is this out of line? Brit is trying to change her image and wants to have people around her to make that possible. I'm sure this artical didn't go right from the author's mind to the Shine site with out at least a glance over from an editor. Also looking at the grammer used in the above comments, having someone else read then over might not be a bad idea.

    YAWN: That's true. I don't care about Britney or her music, but to judge her in that way isn't right. We should treat eachother with respect.

    I think Britney should take the time to write for herself. She's very smart and capable of doing this on her own. If it's that important to her then she should'nt need someone from Harvard to take on a simple task. If it pays good their will be someone with a Harvard degree to hire for the job. But in any event come on Brit...Writing is all about your personal feelings and no one can do it better than you can.

    what a pathetic job. I had a superb education and I can't imagine someone assuming all my education was good for is to update someone's facebook or cater to a celbrity.

    what an insult to a Harvard education! and how presumptuous of Brit to assume that a Harvard grad has no bigger dreams that to update her Twitter.

    I saw the post for this job and NO WHERE did it say you must be a college graduate. I forgot where i ran into it but i know for sure it wasn't on the Harvard message board, so obviously that isn't the only place it was posted.

    Seems like people jump at every opportunity to attack Britney Spears. I'm sure she posted this job ad...no! She has a huge team of people working for her and they for sure took the responsibility to fill this job.
