Pop supernova Britney Spears is hosting one of those Twitter scavenger hunt contests, with the grand prize being two front-row tickets to her show tonight at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The search’s object? Well, it’s apparently for the singer herself. (I know.) Lest you think that “find Britney Spears in New York” is a mission that’s dependent on one’s ability to come up with the right formula that employs the Starbucks site’s “search by store” function and one’s innate ability to detect the paparazzi’s signature scent of slightly musty desperation, she’s offering clues up via Twitter. The first one:
“My hiding spot is a guilty pleasure and I will be there at 6 PM…. “
So, maybe the Starbucks thing isn’t so off? Huh. Imagine if Nyla was still open? Although I guess with enough stunts like this, it probably would have lasted longer than it did…

Oh, bummer. Apparently it’s for “Britney’s clown”:
“The first person who gets to the hiding spot and tells Britney’s clown “I Seek Britney” wins 2 ringside seats”
“My sweet hiding spot is outdoors below 60th street but no lower then 20th street…. “
Her…clown.
@NedRaggett: Yes, well.
I put the odds at 3:1 that “Britney’s clown” is what she calls her vagina.
@How do I say this…Throwdini!?!: “They’ve been around since 1941….”
My guess was Toys “R” Us, but it’s been around since 1948. FAO Schwarz is even older. Obviously not doing work today…
@Maura: For me, Britney is in what Bill Simmons calls the “Tyson Zone,” in that literally nothing she can do would surprise me. That would include telling people to talk into her vagina to win tickets or revealing that, like M&Ms, she was actually created in 1941.
IF YOU SEEK AMY, etc.
