So, Britney Spears shaved her head.

[Ting Ting]

Hehe, don't worry everybody; the auctions are both gag auctions. Notice that the names of all of the bidders are Bidder 1, Bidder 2, etc. They were talking about it on TV this morning.

EDIT: The auction claiming to be selling her hair was a gag, but the doll auction was the real deal.

Hah, they what's I first thought when I heard the news, and I heard that on the net a while ago. Firstly I'd like to say, I agree with Andy. How dare you describe Britney like you know her, when you obviously don't. She has many issues in her life, and I would like to see you handle this if you were that young, and had so many things going on in your life, with the media turning it into these huge things. She is definitely NOT a has-been. She has released over 20 singles in the relatively short time that she has been on the scene, and (if my sources are correct) then all have debuted in top 5 of the charts. Each one of her four albums have been absolute best-sellers, and have dumb-founded all of you cynics and the critics, by debuting at number 1 upon their release. She has a lot of talent, even if you can't see it. And please, any mods or Luke, please don't ban me or anything like that. I wouldn't be nasty to someone who doesn't deserve it, and Bill deserves it. He has made remarks that are derogatory to many topics, and I'm just defending my opinion.
Britney is hot stuff, and has been for a while. She hasn't released anything for two years, but has still managed to be the worlds most googled person. Can you say that? No, so shut your mouth before you type.
Sorry about that.

I do have to agree with dvdjunkie about tattoos. I am an artist, yet I consider them utterly disgusting, even when the person is young. Honestly, why would I give a hoot if a guy gets a tattoo, though I wouldn't, but a girl getting one... to me, that's like spray painting graffiti on the Mona Lisa. The female body is already gorgeous. Why put crap on it? You can just as easily get a T-shirt with a butterfly on it, or something like that. Buy a painting if you want something more meaningful. A tattoo is just a scar, even before you get it removed.

Psychiatrist Francis Keaney says that by shaving her hair off in public, Britney's desperately trying to reject the boozed-up wild star she has become and is making a clear cry for help. Also by doing this, she is showing that she wants to make a fresh start and knows her life has gone wrong. But she must get back into rehab to get the expert care she needs to deal with her drink problems, as she is heading for a major breakdown.

I might buy that if she hadn't also gotten a couple of tattoos right after. I agree it is probably a cry for help (or maybe attention, or just an attempt to stop being attractive to people), but not that she is rejecting her recent, wild past.

Since the pack she runs with have been compared to lemmings, let's see how many follow in her footsteps and get their head shaved, or add another tat to their worthless bodies.

Britney is a horrible role model for any young girl today and those of you who don't see it, and defend her to the end by saying that she is a little mixed up, or we wouldn't know how to handle the things she does, don't realize the severity of what she has done to herself.

It may be a cry for help, but I think it is far too late. Checking into a rehab and then checking out little more than 48 hours later is not the way to show people that she is trying to correct the problem. She needs to go into rehab for three or four months and get some very strict psychiatric care, and then maybe we will all care what she does with the rest of her life.

I agree, she does need to stay in rehab for a substantial amount of time in order to receive the care she needs. It's no good going in for a few days, it'll take much more time then that. I think Britney needs all the support she can get, so that she can get her life back on track and fix the state she is in. A cry for help is never to late (Don't be so pessimistic), she's 25 for goodness sake! She has plenty of time to put things right. People are blowing this way out of proportion, she's only human and at the end of the day we all make mistakes hence nobody is perfect. I'm not saying that some of the things she has done are right/acceptable and no way are they a means of excuse. Yes, I agree that she is a bad role model for young girls, so that's exactly why she needs help with setting her life straight, for both her and her children.

I guess I might consider shaving my head eventually.

Look at Anna Nicole and her son? Who knows how much time we have to "put things right?"

I agree with much of what you said. It sickens me when folks come down too hard on each other, as we often do, but we can go too easy on each other also. 25 is not actually a baby (especially when you have 2 babies of your own), and while we should all be trying to be helpful to each other, we also should each be trying to make the best decisions we can, no matter what our ages. Girls like Britney, celebs or not (and guys too), are told by today's society that they are young and should be wild while they can and do whatever comes into their head, and that is really bad advice. Yes, we all make mistakes, but mistakes should be just that: mistakes. Accidents. Excessive bad decisions are just the result of not thinking. Something else that should be considered is that being a celebrity is a privilege these people have strived for, difficult as they might find it once they get there. It automatically makes them a role model, just like being a parent does. When people can't handle the difficulties that come with the fame they have sought out, their fame should be taken away. At least, to the highest extent possible. Yes, Britney needs help and should get it. However, when a celeb goes over the brink, it would be nice, it would be the right thing to do, to retract their celebrity status. Of course, sadly, the public prefers to enjoy their downfall first.

I shaved my head yesterday, where's my segment on CNN?

I think you have to be a girl.

[dvdjunkie]

Okay, for those who are still trying to convince the rest of us, that Britney is still a pretty good person, here is what happened that fateful night:

1. She shows up in the valley at a salon with her entourage in tow, and has her head shaved.

2. She stops by a tatoo parlor to have a couple of tats done.

3. She tries to check into a hotel with no credit card, no money, no luggage, or anything, and then she tries scribbling down her credit card number on a piece of paper, which is unreadable.

4. She shows up the next day with a short blonde wig covered with a blue skull cap to hold it in place. None of her entourage is in sight, nor are her kids. When asked by a reporter about the children, she told the reporter 'leave me alone'.

5. She was overheard telling one of her table buddies that she left re-hab shortly after entering because they wanted to lock her in her room, and she didn't want that.

Now is the role model we want for our young girls. I think not. I don't care what type of person she once was, she isn't that same person anymore and she should have her children removed from her custody and placed in a foster home or with relatives until she can get her life straightened out.

Everyone says, "she is only 25, she has a lot to live for". Well she had better start making the turn around now, and seek some professional help, because she sure as heck can't fix this on her own.

[James]

Look you definitely have a few good points there Bill. Of course she has problems, most celebrities do. But don't we all have problems? I myself am trying to sort out my life, and am finding it extremely difficult. If we all had our problems and our life laid out on a platter for the whole world to see, I think we'd all be shaving our heads. And it doesn't help that there's paparazzi everywhere and the media there just to blow it all out of proportion. And to her credit, she has gotten to rehab and is getting help. So there.

Enough already, I've already said all of that!

No, it's not like that. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I don't have a problem with that. I just felt as if "dvdjunkie" paid no attention what so ever to what I had said and in the heat of the moment that annoyed me that's why I put "Enough already, I've already said all of that". Sorry if it sounded rude, I didn't mean to be.

[memnv]

It does sound rude and if you look through many threads there is so much repeating, instead of making the rude comment, could have gone glad you agree with me Junkie, I said the same thing earlier... hope you see my point and yes I also agree she needs some major help

I can see why you thought I was being rude and I do sincerely apologise for that. I just hope you can see it from my point of view as well. As I genuinely felt as if my comment was being ignored by "dvdjunkie" hence he/she pretty much repeated what I had said and it was like, "excuse me is my opinion less important than yours or something?" but now that I know it happens all the time (according to you), I take back what I said. I just didn't realise that's all. I mean, I don't know about you but I don't go through every thread, so I'm not that aware of how much people repeat each other. All I know is, if I have an opinion I will post it but if someone else has put something similar or along the same lines, I won't bother. I just assumed that would make more sense 'cause who wants to read the same comment 5 times and clutter up the forum but clearly I couldn't be more wrong.

She's back in rehab now. Hopefully she'll stay there for a while since she does look like she needs it (although in my mind there is no way a haircut acounts for psychological problems!).

That's really good to hear, thanks for sharing with us.
