Britney Spears shaves her head and gets tattoos!
You can't make this shit up. Homegirl has lost what little mind she had.

1. I think she misunderstood her rehab counselor's advice to "clear her head".
:shrug:

2. She's acting. It's the only way she can exude herself from her duties as a mother.
Act like a total nutter and she'll be rid of the kiddies forever.

She's doing a good job.

A 55 hour marriage, dating this, that, and the other fella... making K-Fed look like the sane one! Ouch!

3. Ok, I always roll my eyes a bit when somebody asks this, but in this case, I mean it:
"What about the children?"

Seriously. If she's in a delicate mental state, someone needs to be there to ensure the safety of the kids.

As an educator, I had to call Child Protective Services many times. If I saw this behavior in front of me, even outside of my classroom, I am still legally bound to call CPS. I hope someone is stepping in and taking care of the kids.

If she wants to lose custody of the boys to FedEx, this is the perfect way to do it.

4. I agree.
I never thought I'd see the day when I thought that FedEx would be a better parent.

She's losing it.

7. You've hit it right on the head, ronnyk. Never did I think that maybe,
just maybe, those kids would be better off with Federline. Someone needs to stage a serious intervention with little Brit, or she'll soon share the same fate as Anna Nicole. This woman is crying out for help - it's hard to recall a more obvious case of desperation.

11. and yet her "people" stand by and do nothing
You're right. She's well on her way to ending up like Anna. Maybe Angelia can adopt Britney and Anna's kids.

consecutive hours of E!. Please don't let this happen again, Richardo - it's disappointing. :(

Parenting just gets in the way of their narcissisism, so it seems.

25. I don't think she wants custody
but losing custody looks better than abandoning your kids I guess. People always assume that the mom wants custody but that's not always the case unfortunately. :(

5. Just so we're clear here...
What exactly is wrong with shaving your head and getting a tattoo?

8. Nothing is wrong with that.
Hell I'm a chrome dome and I have tattoos.

This is just the latest in the circus that is the life of La Spears.

10. There's no denying she's done some ridiculous shit...
But I think it's ludicrous for people to jump on her for shaving her head and getting a tattoo. Maybe it is a cry for help, but I'll be damned if i's not one of the most benign cries for help I've ever seen.

15. The people at the tattooo shop knew she was in distress and
they went ahead with the tattoos?

42. Good point.
I know a tattoo artist here who has a good reputation and is a good judge of people. I have seen him ask people to wait if they want something out of the ordinary. He will do what they want, but tell a client to think about it first, for a couple of days.

I took my daughter to him for two tattoos. They were both birthday gifts. I remember him telling her to get her first tattoos in places that could be covered, because she never knew what kind of work she would be doing in the future. He did not want to see her deprived of a professional job.

Tattoos are no longer an outlaw symbol. But they are a shorthand that tells the world what we want it to know about us at the time we are inked.

23. Ummm... she kinda looks good like that :)
I wouldn't have guessed it, but she has the face for a shaved head. :)

Color me impressed, Miss Britney. Color me impressed. She is losing it, mind you, but she'll be a little cute doing it.

24. I'm actually feeling sorry for her...and her kids (of course)
Here's what I don't understand, where the hell is her mother and father? My daughter is only 6 and I know I have a lot to learn about parenting an adult but when you can see your own child breaking down for all the world to see, how can a parent not drop everything and run to that child? Should Britney's family be obligated to do everything in their power to get her help? If not for Britney then for Britney's kids? I just don't get it. They obviously joined in the fun when her life was good, where are they when her life is bad?

I'm not a Brit fan, but geez, she needs that rehab that she checked out... for herself, her kids, her sanity, and her life.

:cry:

29. Shit, I hope no calls CPS on me
I've shaved my head countless times, and gotten many a tattoo.

She has a really nice hairline and a nicely shaped head, she can carry off the stubble look.

30. Maybe she wanted to express herself.
Hey i'm all for it. I'm bald and have 20 something tattoos, does that make me unstable? The answer is no, i was unstable long before i was hairless, and inked. In fact when i did shave my head, and got some of the tats was when my life actually started to settle down some.

35. Well I'm a chrome dome and tattoo boy too.
But THIS on top of her endless flashing her cooter, humping on strippers, throwing up from LA to NY makes me think that La Spears is having a few issues to say the least.


POWER TO THE CHROME DOMES!

39. My thinking was maybe she did it symbolically.
Like for cleansing, pulling away type thing. It goes right against her so called sexy image. Maybe it's rebellion against that. I mean seriously, they have had her shaking her butt at us since she was very young.

I'm sure she keeps her legs and arm pits neatly groomed as well. :evilgrin:

40. honestly
I'm starting to think she is a tough chic. Being from the deep south like she is and not growing up wealthy I bet she has resources to draw on that a lot of those other girls don't. She got rid of K-fed for doing drugs around her kids, and it seems like most wives in those circles seem to look the other way about that kind of stuff. I think she's going to be fine once she goes through this weird phase she's in. I know when I was in my early twenties everybody was getting their heads shaved. People thought I was weird because I didn't. I bet she'll be fine in the long run. She's made of completely different stuff than Nicole and Paris et al, and if she draws on that she will make it through this okay.

41. It's another lame publicity stunt that is, sadly, effective
We all know Britney can't go two seconds without somebody paying attention to her.

43. Britney is a punk rocker...
now-ow-ow...

Actually, I wish I could look that good with a shaved head. It's def. an improvement over those ratty looking extensions.

I'm rooting for homegirl to pull it together. Maybe she can put out a riot grrl record or team up with Shane McGowan for some duets. It would be a bigger transformation than Madonna ever pulled off.
