With a new album due this month, Britney Spears has been making headlines once again -- but this time it's for a good cause. The singer announced she's joining President Obama's new anti-bullying campaign.
The president and first lady Michelle Obama announced a new anti-bullying summit via Facebook this week, and have enlisted people across the country to help join the movement to stop the ever-growing problem.
Spears was reportedly asked to help raise awareness about this important issue, and she took to Twitter to let fans know the news.
"Anti bullying is an issue very close to my heart," she wrote. "I am honored that President Obama & the First Lady asked me to join this campaign." She also tweeted, "#StopBullyingNow" in a separate tweet.
Spears was recently interviewed for Out magazine, where she says she loves "being able to reach people and ... make them happy" with her music, adding she still gets a thrill hearing her songs on the radio.
"It's such a cool feeling to hear your own song play on the radio," she says. "I still have the same kind of excitement when I hear any of my songs today."
Spears' seventh studio album, 'Femme Fatale,' will be released March 29
