She’s sold millions of records, and now Britney Spears has broken a new record.

The pop princess has become the first person to break the five million followers mark on Twitter.

Earlier this week, Spears (@britneyspears) overtook reigning social media king Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) for the most followers on the site.

At present, Spears has 5,014,759 followers. Next is Kutcher with 4,985,181 followers.

Keep an eye out, though, for Lady Gaga (@LadyGaga) who currently has 4,249,607 followers.

The “Paparazzi” singer has been busily using Twitter to connect to her fans, and the speed at which her follower base is growing makes her a serious contender for the top spot in the not too distant future.

In a piece Perez Hilton titled, “Trouble for Ashton & Demi,” the blogger questioned – without fact-checking – whether there “Could there be trouble in paradise for Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore?”

Why?

Because at the 2009 Freedom Awards, held in Los Angeles on Tuesday, he wrote, “not all seemed well with the couple. Not to mention they totally dissed the press!” Hmm… could the fact that Kutcher and Moore didn’t speak to the press have colored the coverage of the couple?

Possibly.

Instead of actually reporting, Perez simply took a local Los Angeles TV reporter’s vague tweets to cause controversy.

Fox 11 reporter Gigi Garciette, who was working the event, tweeted, “Wanted to ask @aplusk + @mrskutcher about their foundation for newscast tonite but they didn’t talk to press. Sigh.”

She then tweeted, “Fact that tonite’s headliners Demi+Ashton did NOT talk about important cause killed my story. I don’t understand celebs. Double sigh.”

According to Perez, she then tweeted, “La famosa pareja Demi – Ashton no se veian muy contentos esta noche. Algo vi. Espero estar equivocada,” which he translates into “The famous couple Demi – Ashton didn’t seem too happy tonight. I saw something. Though I hope I’m wrong.”

Unfortunately, that tweet cannot be verified because it has been pulled down.

We don’t know what that “something” Garciette saw — or even whether it related to Kutcher and Moore — but we do have friends who were at the event, and they didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. One even passed the couple on the red carpet, and noted, “they looked sweet.” (In fact, check out our still, just one picture of the two looking happy together from that evening.)

Gossip Cop reached out to Garciette for further clarification, but she did not get back to us.

Though Hilton claims there’s “trouble,” by all accounts there aren’t any major issues. Additionally, Moore’s rep tells Gossip Cop that talk of strife is “false.”

Perez “Scoop” Hilton has not only once again reported complete fiction, but he also frightened friends and family members of Jaclyn Smith. The bad blogger wrote, “According to reports we are getting from multiple sources in Latin America,Charlie’s Angels actres (sic)Jaclyn Smith attempted suicide on Tuesday while at her vacation house in Islas de la Bahia in Honduras… Jaclyn was airlifted via helicopter to a hospital in San Pedro Sula, with a gun wound in her head.” He added, “Smith is in critical condition.”

Perez’s reporting is in worse shape than critical condition.

Guess Smith recovered quickly because she just Tweeted, “THESE REPORTS ARE FALSE. Jaclyn is fine and well,” and “Jaclyn is safe and home with her family. She is not in Honduras. It is a lie.”

“Multiple sources,” Perez, or maybe someone has multiple personalities?

It’s a sad but true dog tale. Last night Jessica Simpson tweeted, “My heart is broken because a coyote took my precious Daisy right in front of our eyes. HORROR!”

Now Gossip Cop has all the details.

Simpson’s maltipoo Daisy, a gift from then-husband Nick Lachey when they were doing “Newlyweds,” was snatched by a wild coyote in front of her own eyes at her parents’ home in Encino, California. Her rep told Gossip Cop, “They saw it happen,” adding, “They tried to go after, but the coyote took it and went.”

The rep says, “Jessica’s freaking out. She’s devastated.”

Gossip Cop wishes the Simpsons strength during this difficult time.
