Slog - Comments on Britney Spears' Drapes Go the Way of her Carpet http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/02/britney_spears_drapes_go_the_way_of_her The carnage left in the wake of Anna Nicole Smith continues to grow: Clearly distaught over being bumped from the headlines by another woman's corpse, Britney Spears reclaims her supremacy over the tabloids by shaving her own damn head in a San Fernando Valley tattoo shop. On earth as it is in heaven. UPDATE: Actually, Spears' shearing took place NOT in the San Fernando Valley tattoo shop but in a Tarzana hair salon Britney visited before getting tattooed in the Valley.

Good for her. And next see could grab headlines with some Valerie Plame like move and write some suedo feminist skinhead nazi reoric like 'Scum'.
That'll be the day, but I think she can muster it after this fiasco.

I realize that not all Valeries look alike. My bad.

Now Brittany to make that image fit you now need to go to CBGBs and hang out with some thrash metal punk band members. A couple of studs in your nose and eyebrow. And a pussy pierce would complement that bareback, desert without trees, thingy majigger down betwixt your legs.
I personally think she's going to go all lesbian on Hollywood pretty soon. Rehab tends to turn some folks into split personalities of themselves. They get all psycho on everybody after going sober.
After a fresh drink or high she'll be back to normal. not.

There's a reason you have other people shave your head. If you're cutting that close, it's really easy to get uneven patches - that's what the "lumps" look like to me. While they're just a fraction of an inch different in length, they really show up badly. I think if she just gets a trim-up, she'll look pretty decent.


To those commenting on the weird "bits" in the last photo... are you sure you're not looking at her leg? They sure look normal to me. Kind of cute, really... not sexy, but cute.


I wish her luck - losing all the hair should be pretty cathartic, and it's a nice change from the normal celeb insanity.

Unfortunately, CBGB's closed a couple of months ago, so your fantasy scenario is going to have to wait.

Wench @20:

If she's going to keep the "GI Jane" look, hopefully somebody will tell her about this handy little gadget.

After what must have been a total mindfuck of a childhood—pimped out by mom at 12, beloved by the world thereafter—Britney has plenty of reasons to be confused and furious. The head-shaving seems like a much "healthier" rebellion than getting drunk with Paris Hilton. I hope she survives long enough to actually figure some shit out. (And dear God I wish she didn't already have children...)

If only she didn't bust her knee in 2004, she would be on tour now. That's where all her troubles began.

I think she needs to lock herself in the house for about a year.
