Britney Spears' Twitter and MySpace accounts have apparently been hacked.
Messages on her Twitter profile Thursday - purported to be from the 27-year-old pop star - claimed she worshipped the devil. The handful of unusual messages were deleted after Spears' management regained control of the account.
Her Twitter feed boasts more than 3.7 million followers and is updated by herself and her "team" of handlers. A message Thursday apologised for "any offence the hacker's messages caused."
Spears' MySpace account was taken over at about the same time.
Hacked messages have gone out from Spears' Twitter account before.
