    Wow. If this is true, does anyone get the feeling she's going down the same road Michael Jackson has? While ulitmately it's the individual's responsibility, it's a shame the family and friends of people in her situation don't do much to help. At least not until it looks like the cash cow is heading towards the crazy farm.

    More surprising is I've actually read this thread and posted a few times. I'm going to shave my head to rid myself of this.

    Here's a shocker:

    Spears has reportedly checked herself into rehab facility

    By ERIN CARLSON
    Associated Press


    NEW YORK — Britney Spears entered rehab today after a bizarre weekend that included shaving her head and getting a new tattoo.

    Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, told People magazine's Web site that Spears, 25, had voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed treatment facility.

    "We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time," Rudolph was quoted as saying.

    Calls to Spears' representatives by the Associated Press weren't returned Tuesday.

    Since she announced her separation from Kevin Federline in November, Spears, the mother of two young sons, has been seen partying heavily, and her appearance has been increasingly sloppy.

    On Friday night, Spears grabbed an electrical shaver at a San Fernando Valley salon and shaved her head completely bald.

    Video on KABC-TV showed a newly shorn Spears with tiny tattoos on the back of her neck as she sat for a new tattoo — a pair of red-and-pink lips on her wrist.

    Entertainment TV shows and Web sites reported Friday that she had gone in and out of rehab that week.

    Esther's Haircutting Studio, where Spears shaved her head, set up a Web site to auction off her hair and other items for a minimum price of $1 million, J.T. Tognozzi, who owns the salon with his wife, told the AP on Tuesday.

    "This is it, the opportunity of a lifetime," according to BuyBritneysHair.com. The winning bidder gets Spears' dark, knotty hair extensions, the clipper she used to cut them off, the Red Bull she drank at the salon and her cigarette lighter.

    Tognozzi said he'd placed the items for sale on the eBay auction Web site, which later took them down, for reasons unknown to him.

    either the lock of her hair (supposedly) or the supposed razor used to cut it off.

    both of which were obviously fake since the owner of the salon is selling them and the addresses for the accounts that were offering them were nowhere near California.

    am I a bad person if Im enjoying this?

    other than the eye candy aspect of her, I always felt she was MASSIVELY overrated.

    Exactly. I also thought she was overrated because she didn't look any better from any other hot local white chicks. But all my friends were in love with her. I only thought she was hot when she dressed really slutty.

    Figures. No, you're not a bad person. That's the way celebrities and people are, we (people) sometimes enjoy their (celebrities) downfalls.

    Yes, she is/was overrated. Not music-wise because I believe nobody took her career seriously but looks she was definitely overrated in that aspect.

    Craig Ferguson's monologue about this on President's Day was good... about alcoholism in general, etc...

    Click here...http://www.cbs.com/latenight/latelate/comedy/ ... then click the February 19, 2007 link...

    A good perspective.


    (btw- the pic above on the left, Brit looks like Madonna on the "Coffee Talk w/Linda Richmond" skit with Mike Meyers on SNL in the 90's)

    Thr respect he had with not kicking someone when they're that far down.

    As much as I'm not a big fan of Britney, I don't want to see her off herself.

    If she shaved her head because of lice, I really don't want to know why she shaved her pubes, as was evident by the pics that came out a couple of months ago.

    Britney: 'I shaved my head because of lice'
    Last updated at 14:34pm on 21st February 2007


    Britney Spears was back in rehab after months of bizarre behaviour which culminated in her shaving off all her hair.

    A source for the 25-year-old singer claimed she shaved her head because of lice: "She thought lice were eating her hair extensions, so decided to get rid of them as soon as possible."

    Britney reportedly checked herself into the Promises treatment centre in Malibu after a showdown with her mother, who was said to be at "breaking point".

    Britney's erratic behaviour seemed to have started in 2004 when she married childhood friend Jason Alexander.

    It was annulled after only 55 hours. Later that same year she married Kevin Federline, but filed for divorce last November and set off on a wild round of partying.

    But it was the head-shaving incident that seemed to prove she was over the edge.

    Her mother Lynne, 51, is believed to be behind Britney's decision after months of rows between the pair.

    A source said: "Her mother cries and begs Britney to calm down, but Britney just yells at her and tells her to mind her own business."

    Another source added: "Lynne was at a breaking point."

    A spokesman for mother-of-two Britney said: "She has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility.

    "We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as that of her family and friends at this time."

    This is her second attempt at rehab. Last Wednesday, Britney checked into Eric Clapton's Crossroads rehab clinic in Antigua - but stayed only 24 hours.

    Tucked into the Santa Monica mountains, Promises claims to offer "uncommon luxury" and boasts that it offers the "finest rehab programme in the world"

    It recently treated Mel Gibson for alcoholism and other clients have included Ben Affleck, Robert Downey Jr and Charlie Sheen.
