Britney has been contacted by PETA president offering her the position and the chance to raise $1,000 for her favourite charity.
Britney Spears has been offered a 'virtual receptionist' job with PETA. The troubled singer - who has been criticised by the animal rights group for wearing fur and buying animals from pet stores in the past - has been contacted by PETA president Ingrid Newkirk offering her the position and the chance to raise $1,000 for her favourite charity.
Newkirk wrote in a letter to the 'Toxic' star: "You would see - from the inside - why we are so concerned about issues like fur and homeless dogs and cats. As a thank you for your willingness to learn and help, we would donate $1,000 to a children's charity.
"We might have criticised you in the past for contributing to the dog overpopulation crisis and wearing real fur, but perhaps now that your own crisis has abated, a new day calls for a new relationship, a new outlook and a new understanding."
Newkirk was said to be "very impressed" by Britney's performance on US TV show 'How I Met Your Mother' last week, and thinks she would be a welcome addition to the PETA team. PETA is yet to receive a response from Britney.
