GoDaddy.com lands Jillian Michaels as spokeswoman

[September 15, 2010]  LOS ANGELES (AP) -- GoDaddy.com is adding a second spokeswoman as it closes in on $1 billion in annual sales this year: fitness guru Jillian Michaels.

Michaels joins race car driver Danica Patrick as a Go Daddy Girl, a move that CEO Bob Parsons said should attract new customers, even as he predicts that next year will see a repeat of this year's revenue growth of 22 percent.

The new addition comes after a report in The Wall Street Journal last week that said the company, which registers and then leases Internet domain names, was up for sale.

Parsons said he wouldn't comment on what he called a rumor. But he said he was a typical businessman open to all alternatives.
