Ruben Garay has announced he's shutting down his preeminent B. Spears fan site, World of Britney (www.worldofbritney.com) because, he says on the site, the sometime crotch-baring former Mouseketeer "keeps losing her identity and credibility within fans and industry people."
Garay says that, although he plans to set up a general celeb blog, which will cover Brit as needed, "it's clear I believe Britney is unfortunately done (for me at least)."
