The snippet of Britney Spears' new single, "Womanizer," that leaked late last week was apparently recorded off a conference

The snippet of Britney Spears' new single, "Womanizer," that leaked late last week was apparently recorded off a conference call Jive Records held with radio programmers. (Which would explain the tinny quality.) That recording was made by a grunt worker at the Nashville pop station The River who's "professionally" known as Intern Adam. Well, former grunt worker, anyway—the top entry on his blog is now a terse message that insinuates that Adam's been fired: "For those stopping by to catch up on all the celebrity gossip and the Intern Adam vs. Britney Spears drama, don't expect any posts from IA. He is not here. We are sorry to inform you he is not on the air with Woody & Jim In The Morning. No details will be given at this time, however we are sure you can fish around the internet gossip blogs to figure stuff out." Or you can just read the "should Adam have been fired" comment section that the station has helpfully provided to listeners who need answers in this time of crisis.
