Britney Spears: Bald And In Rehab. So What Really Happened?

As everyone, including my near 80 year old grandmother, knows who Britney Spears is. Although some don’t realize she was born into a somewhat decent household, they do know that in a sudden craze, she went bald. The funny thing about it is that she didn’t do it as a movie role like the beautiful Demi More in G.I. Jane but did it to simply do it. No one knows why she did it exactly. But of course, Britney once again seems to overshadow all the somewhat more important things going on in the world such as Darfur or the war in Iraq, you know, the things people actually care about. But honestly, why did Britney Spears, the once teenage bombshell with her whole life ahead of her shave her head? Well, being the not-so-expert on such things, I will try my hardest to give you an answer.

Britney Spears, believe it or not, has lived her life under pressure, a constant pressure. But it seemed as though she was a normal teenager and twenty-something year old until the birth of her first child, Sean Preston. The masses were somewhat excited, as if they were the father of the superstar’s baby. The pregnancy came and went, everything was going smoothly until little miss Brit was seen around town with her baby in her lap while driving or hearing that she continually drops the baby while feeding or whatnot. I mean, come on! What kind of mother is she?! And what kind of a father is K.Fed? I mean honestly, who abbreviates their name? Should I be named J.Do? How old are we again? Anyway. By the time her second child was born, she has fell off her rocker and the crowds weren’t seeing a near day in the future when she would get back on again. Her life swirled with the break-up of her husband, leading her to hang out with notorious partier, Paris Hilton and friends. Now she can be most easily found dancing on table tops with no panties, drinking it up, walking around in barely anything, and taking girls home to have “slumber parties” with. It’s sad to see that her two sons are no where near their mother anymore. It’s no doubt that while she drinks and parties her sorrows away, K.Fed is left looking somewhat… Shall I say it, decent? Go figure. So once again, in the midst of glamour and Hollywood, we have yet another divorce case on our hands alone with a huge custody battle with her two children. Thank God she didn’t lose her mind before Kevin Federline and at least signed a pre-nuptial, leaving her ex-beau out in the cold with a cool $300,000 out of her estimated $100 meeeeellion.

On the night of the whole mishap, it seemed to be an inevitable train wreck. It is reported that after having a full-blown fight with her mother, she flew in the back of an airplane (Coach) to LA. This is where she demanded to shave her head. Many people stopped her but yet, she managed to handle it as her bodyguard tipped the owner of the salon $50 for the use of her shaver. She then went to get a couple tattoos, a set of pink and red lips on her wrist and another tattoo on her hip. Everyone that seemed to come in contact with her thought she was crazy. But why the sudden severity of it all?

Britney Spears did it number one, because she felt like she needed a change. She was sick of the good girl/bad girl conflict that seems to haunt her every step. It’s like, is she good? She seems to be taking care of the kids pretty good… No wait, she’s bad for going commando. It’s a constant criticism going on. She wanted something drastic, something that will kind of tell herself that she’s starting out fresh and new, by shaving her head. Believe it or not, when I feel a change is needed, I cut my hair. I have never gone bald, per se, but I do believe strongly that if you see a change physically, you will be able to stick with it forever. As for the tattoos that are known to be a bit daintier than many people see Britney Spears portrayed today: maybe she just wanted to give the world a hint of what is to come. Now, I’ve never been a Britney Spears fan but I do believe in the power of self change. I think she has hit rock bottom and the only way she can get out is through help and her own realization that needs change. I think she got her realization with shaving her head, and she’s confirmed to be going into rehab right now for a nervous breakdown.

If you were wondering what ever happened to the hair salon, they’re selling Britney’s lock in an auction with the opening bid at $1 million dollars. They say that “some of the money will be donated to children with special needs.” Haha. Anything over 1 million might. But hey, it’s all my opinion, right?
