Former friends of Brittney are asking fans to boycott her new album, Blackout until she cleans up her act.
Organizers of the MySpace page “Be Proactive to help” say their message is simple “Don’t buy her stuff until she’s better”.
The group consists of those who used to work with Britney, a bodyguard, backup dancer, makeup artist and several old friends. Insisting they are not doing it for the 15 minutes of fame and have already turned down a multitude of interviews.
The new site, boasting the headline "Save the Popstar, Save the World," urges fans to contact Jive (her record company), MTV, her management team and her music publishing house.
"Let them know you'll buy her album, but not until she is clean and sober and realizes the amazing life she has created for herself...
"Let them know you'll be around to buy her music, her merchandise, when she sets a better example of how to be a performer...It is every employer's job to make sure their staff is doing their job to the best of their abilities."
The US pop star's eagerly anticipated new album will be released on October 30, Jive Records, citing internet leaks as the reason the date was moved up from November 13.
Jive said it "is doing everything possible to prevent and avoid any further illegal distribution of songs," including the leaking of "unfinished material and demos represented as completed legitimate songs" to the internet.
It has been four years since Spears last studio album, Toxic and Blackout has surprisingly received a positive response from music critics.
The sad details of her chaotic personal life have all but obliterated her success as a performer. But putting that aside lets not forget, she remains one of the biggest-selling female artists of all time, selling more than 83 million albums since her 1999 debut, "... Baby One More Time."
