"{{tmz_video_0}}Maybe she hadn't heard the news, maybe she didn't understand the question, or maybe she's just a coldhearted person who hates awesome people ... but when we asked &lt;strong&gt;Britney Spears&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#160;today about the passing of &lt;strong&gt;Annette Funicello&lt;/strong&gt;, she took a moment, smiled, and said, \"I think that's great!\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funicello, the most famous original member of Mickey Mouse Club, &lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2013/04/08/annette-funicello-dead-dies-mouseketeer-dead-at-70/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;passed away&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; today at the age of 70 ... so asking Britney, the most famous modern member, about her death made complete sense.&amp;#160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Britney's answer, however, made none.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"update_bar\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/08/09/update-bar.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1:30 PM PT&lt;/strong&gt; -- Britney just tweeted,&amp;#160;\"Misheard a question I was asked earlier by press while I was out and about. I am DEVASTATED to hear about the passing of Annette Funicello ... She was a role model for me during my days as a Mouseketeer.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
