You might want to hit www.WorldofBritney.com one more time, because the end of this "world" is nigh. The site, a "navel" idea devoted to the Pepsi-pushing pop tart, is pulling the plug after nearly two years. Why? The teenage Swede who ran it says all the lawsuit threats from Britney's suit-wearing corporate backers drive him crazy. But he also has a few jeers for Spears. He says Britney doesn't rock his world the way she used to. He thinks she's all about money these days and doesn't care as much about her fans. So she's not a girl, not yet a woman, but definitely a diva!
