Britney Spears Meltdown Watch
Yesterday the gossip sites were alive with the sound of rehab, announcing that Britney Spears had spent one day in a facility in Antigua before checking out again and hopping a plane back to L.A.
Not content with letting that story be the freak show highlight of the weekend, Britney outdid herself Friday night by stopping at a hair parlor in Tarzana and shaving her head completely bald.
According to USmagazine.com:
"Britney came in and said she wanted them to shave her head." According to [a] source, when the hairdresser refused, "Britney grabbed the hair clipper and started doing it herself."
Oh, but our little Girl, Interrupted wasn't done yet.
After going all G.I. Jane, Britney headed to a "seedy" tattoo parlor, where she had a pair of lips inked on her wrist and a black, white, and pink cross tattooed on her hip. Again, USmagazine.com got the lowdown from an employee at the tattoo parlor:
Store employee Emily Wynne-Hughes tells Usmagazine.com that Britney arrived at the parlor agitated and, when asked why she shaved her head, replied, "I don't want anyone touching me. I'm tired of everybody touching me."Hughes adds, "She wasn't making sense at all and you could tell she's not in a good place at all, and that she is totally freaking out."
Hughes tells us Britney then got a black-white-and-pink cross tattooed on her lower hip and red-and-pink lips on her wrist. The price: $80.
Britney was not an ideal subject, however. "She was a nightmare to deal with," says Hughes. "She was screaming and flipping out from the pain and wiggling her body all around."
At one point during Britney's one-hour visit, Hughes asked Britney why there was a pink stain on her fluffy white handbag and Britney said she had "spilled Nyquil all over it."
Okay, the Britney story just went from mildly amusing to crazy, Anna Nicole Smith-type shenanigans. I want to think she balded herself to look like little Jayden James, but this sounds more like "Please help me before I cut myself" territory. Time to bring in the big guns - and you know who I mean. If anyone can dance this girl away from the brink of insanity and remind her of a better time in her life, it's the one that got away with his image, sanity and career intact, Justin Timberlake.

You know, after the mind, they say the hair is the second thing to go...

She's making K-Fed look like the sane parent. Poor children.

Bill: You're right. K-Fed definitely looks like the winner here. Maybe that's what she wants. Maybe having 2 kids before she turned 25 wasn't what she really wanted to do.
Marty: Congratulations! The top stories on CNN.com are about Britney Spears not having hair anymore. Can you believe it?

While I'm inclined to agree with you about the media hounding people like Britney, Savanna (or should I say "u iz right on - gurl needz her privacy, yo) a story I read about the day Britney shaved her head made me go ahead with my continued Britney coverage:
The woman who owned the hair salon told Ryan Seacrest on his radio program that Britney came in demanding the head shaving. The owner refused to do it, and seeing that Britney was going to do it herself, went to the windows to shut the blinds to allow Britney some privacy during her meltdown.
Minutes later the salon owner saw that someone - she assumes Britney's bodyguards - had reopened the blinds allowing paparazzi full view of the act.
And if you'll notice in photos - Britney is looking right at the cameras in many of the shots.
So as much as I believe people deserve their privacy (and I do), it's pretty obvious when they are begging for attention.
