In this Sept. 7, 2008 file photo, Britney Spears poses with her awards backstage at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles. Spears' Twitter account was hacked Thursday Oct. 12, 2009, with bogus messages going out claiming she worshipped Satan. The several unusual messages were deleted after a few hours. Her account posted a message announcing that her account had been hacked and apologized for 'any offense the hacker's messages caused.' (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File)
