She's Done It Again, Britney Spears Goes Bald

A bald Britney Spears gets a new tattoo in sherman oaks[Editor's Note: This story has been updated. For the newer developments of this very important issue, please click here]

Just as reports of Britney Spears entering and exiting rehab began to die down, local ABC affiliate KABC aired video of a bald Spears getting a tattoo last night in Sherman Oaks.

There are stills of Britney shaving her head at celebvids.co.uk. Apparently every move the woman makes is photographed in some way. Spears doesn't look drunk in the photos... or very happy....

Although we sorta like the new 'do as it reminds us of a little G.I. Jane action, some of the fans who sped down to "Body and Soul" to catch a peek of the pop star weren't having it.

Spears could be seen inside the tattoo parlor with her head fully exposed, but as she left the shop she was led by her bodyguard straight to a waiting SUV. Spears had her head covered with a hooded sweatshirt to hide her new noggin.

The sidewalk outside the shop was filled with fans, onlookers and paparazzi. Some fans that were interviewed after Spears departed declared the new look less than flattering. - KABC

Meanwhile some inside the tattoo shop said that Spears seemed bummed out while she was there.

“She seemed very distraught and disturbed. Um, she was very scatter-brained and wasn’t really answering many questions.”, Mary Hughes told KABC reporter Leslie Miller.

Britney got at least one tattoo -- a pair of lips for her wrist -- but Hughes hinted that she might have gotten more. We hope one says LAist.

The 'SUPER-BOWL' hoopla is over - The NBA ALL-STARS are in VEGAS waiting to do their slammin'&jammin' - The DEMOCRATS-REPUB CANDIDATES for PREZ are full of noise as usual - what's an A-LIST CELEB like BRITT supposed to do??? WHY LOOK NEW WITH A HEAD SHAVE TO GAIN MORE EXPOSURE!!! A ploy for attention and the dummies of the media fall for this scam and highlight every move of this dunb diva wise in the tittillating ways of HOLLYWOOD HYPED PERSONNAES!!!

wtf?
It's like an Anne Heche moment mixed with a dash of Anna Nicole and a sprinkling of downward spiral, cooked up and poured into a lightly greased pan twenty minutes later it's brought to the table steaming. "Would you like a big slice of delicous Crazytime? It's super yummy!"

Maybe Kevin deserves custody.

 

I was gonna make some sort of 'looks like K-Fed just might be getting custody of the kids after all' comment -- only wittier, I promise -- when I read xtx's bit above. Xtx, you nailed it perfectly. Spears is either conciously or unnconciously trying to get herself some of that Anna Nicole Smith love and attention. It's like those moms that kill their newborn babies for the outpouring of sympathy. Well, almost.

 

It's a typical behavior in those who are so out of control they search for something drastic to grab onto.

The next thing will be a gun in the mouth . . .

 

I LOVE the bald head! I hope it inspires a lot of young women to try this exciting and stunning look.

 

TO be fair she hasn't done anything bad in this latest situation. She just got a tatoo and shaved her head (and I believe it looks very good on her). She is also in rehab meaning she's trying to get better from her past mistakes so I see no reason to condemn her for these most recent actions

 

It's hard to belive that K-fed might actually be the only "responsible" parent in this relationship. If Brittny keeps this up, I'm sure the next starring role for her will be on Big Brother in the UK along with the other has-been stars trying to reclaim their glory.

 

SEEMS LIKE SOMEONES HAVING A WHITNEY, MARIAH AND MARY J BLIGE DIVA BREAKDOWN MOMENT ALL IN ONE DEFINITELY NOT AN ANNA NICOLE. LIFE IS HARD WE all know ...but Brits needs to pull it together and its good shes started now! SHES STILL GONNA BOUNCE BACK STRONGER!
AT TIMES LIKE THIS U JUST WANNA SAY GIRL NEEDS JESUS!

 

OMG what have you done it looks terrible although i aint a big fan i am shocked that you've done this because it's rubish and you'll need to wear a wig for he rest of your life you idiot.

 

I think she did it just for publicity. The news footage shows her coyly smiling out the window at the cameras.

It's just a way to stay a media darling and to try and shift focus off of her recent news events.

 

holy crap who would shave there head what is she on drugs or somehting!?

 

I think it looks hot. Way better than the fake extension look that people like Jessica Simpson are doing so much of. I'm not a Britney fan at all, but I applaud this latest move.

 

omg britney sweetie get it 2gether life may be hard but eventually its gonna get better but maybe this wasnt the smartest thing to do!!! ppl r jus gonna talk more!!im still a fan!!

 

Go Britney!! Who really cares if she shaves her head? People are dying in Iraq everyday...yet somehow Britney's new hair cut makes the top story.... Everyone really needs to get a life!

 

i wish i would of thought of that first

cant wait to go to the hair cuttery

i already made the apointment

love it and love you girl!!

always, janny

 

HAHAHAHAHAH, Who hates britney spears! i do and i love watching how she makes herself look more and more retarded to the world... PAZ

 

goodbye blowjob handles...

 

I love the morons who think getting another tattoo and shaving your head means you're on a 'downward spiral'. She's a celebrity, so everything is blown out of proportion. There are millions of girls running around w/no underwear on at clubs and yet, that is blown beyond out of proportion as well as well. Get a grip.

 

Maybe the new album is a collection of Sinead O'Connor covers?

 

I completely agree with Nick. And, on the other hand, she reminds me of Sinead O' Connor and I think she looks kinda sexy.

 

OMG britney what r u doing? your out of your mind! Get it together girl...
Im still a fan and love ya.

first of all, i can't stand britney spears. immature, irresponsible, dumb, etc.

BUT

i think she looks great. I think the GI jane look is awesome, but... maybe her ears could be pinned.

 

I can't believe some people are taking joy in watching someone else's pain and heartache. The girl has done nothing wrong least of all to the horrible people posting comments of delight at the girls misery, she has done absolutely nothing to you. So why do you have such venom for her, I don't understand why britney faces so much cruel criticism. She is a human being just like all of the rest of us of course she's not perfect and is going to make mistakes the only difference between her and anyone of us is that everything she does is captured by photographers and put all over the media for the whole world to see and scorn her shortcomings.

If anyone of us were being watched every minute of eery day by photographers we would probabaly get stressed to. This constant talk of britney letting everyone down is heartbreaking. She is clearly very lost right now and desperately seeking support and she recieves ridicule. The fact is the girl is free to be whatever she chooses to be, and if that includes shaving her head then she can be bald if she wants to. Imagine one person in your lkife all the time telling you what you should do, now imagine the whole world and their mother telling you what to do acting as if you're they're property. it's not a nice feeling i think the girl should get some space and these evil photographers should gave her it. Did they learn nothing from the death of princess diana whose final moments on earth were also photographed by the very men who pursued her to her fatal crash. Leave the girl be, it is disgusting.

 

shes crazy

 

Brittney is a ragged whore. An attention seeks slut and a very trashy white hoe. This bald head is very unattractive on her. Some women can pull it off but not this one. She's just so 5 years ago.

 

I think she's very last year! She's nasty as in "Dirty". The type to walk bare foot all day and have her best friend suck her toes and then they french kiss. Suck white girl shit. Just nasty.

 

I WISH SHE HAD SHAVED HER TITS - we made love once and it was cool except her funbags were covered with a thick thatch of hair. At one point she shit on my dick but it ws hot. Hope fully we can do it again -CALL ME, BRIT!!! -DAVE :)

 

Lennox!!? LENNOX DELA COCHINO!!? Is that you?! You spell your name wrong, dumbass! Long time no talk - i guess i dont blame you after the way i assfucked you all those times! (sorry) Your asshole just felt so good on my huge cock tho - i had to tap that as again and again! Of course it really turned me on the way you'd beg me to "fuck my shithole, please, PLEASE! - I AM YOUR BITCH!" Anyway, that was most enjoyable - how many times did i fuck your ass - 120 times? At least. Well, thanks, bitch.

 

My name i s Lennox Dela Cochino. I am a retard. I cant spell my name correctly. I am jealous of anyone who has more money than me and i am bitter about my pathetic life. i know in my heart that i am a sorry excuse for a person and i secretly fantisize about having 'relations' with dogs. I am also a public masturbator. Thanks for your time.

 

Lennox?!! Hey! Its me!!! Dean! Remember, i used to have intercourse with you from behind! i would put my huge penis inside your rectum and slide it in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out and in and ou tand in and out and in and out and in and out til you would shout with joy! then i would sprt my man goo inside you! i rember how you used to try to eat my penis too - thanks for the good times! Call me!

 

Stupid Bitch

 

she could haved lies

 

I think her new bald look is kick ass...And for all the people who think she's "Spiraling Out of Control"..All she did is shave her head and get another tattoo. And I dont think kevin federline should have custody over the kids. Im not gonna deny that they both need to grow up a little. But I think that Britney spears is taking responsibility and going to rehab is a good thing. So what, shes not the bubbly little princess goody goody she used to be. People change. I like the new Britney.

 

EXCUSE me??? what's the big deal. what has she done wrong this time? she shaved HER head and tatooed HER body, wtf is everyone's problem??? leave her alone for once in her life!!
tusk.. what's happening to the world??? one person's hair is everybody else's business, and if they don't like what you're doing to your OWN hair, they diss you and call you crazy. GOD, leave the woman ALONE!!!

 

Britney Spears life is not "hard".
She's just an idiot.

 

WOW. its just shving her head. the world isnt over. shes a grown women she can have a shaved head if she wants doesnt mean she is a bad mom or anything. and just because she got tattoos doesnt mean shes going crazy or the whole world is going crazy. ppl make it a big deal because she is famous. and yeah i think that stupied because everyone gets tatoos. or shaves their head. just let her beher self. is it that bad?
not to me. i dont understand the whole thing of he saying"i dont want ppl to touch me" but STiLL. she is human. shes not a bad mom and everyone just needs to stop making such a big deal its just hair it grows back and if anything she can wear a wig if she wants. but if she wants to wear her hair like this then whatever. ive been a fan of her since i was little. and just because she shaved her head or had a family. or even went out and got married and divorce the next day doesnt mean she isnt gonna still be my idol cause she is. and i think its stupied how people say o i love b.s but yet when she does something like this she is no longer yer idol. big flipping deal. get over yerselfs its her life let her do what she wants. and no make such a big deal about it. and if you want to write me back on this then you can email me at cookiebobgrl@aim.com
and Krystal i agree with you her new look is chill.

 

i saw someone comment that said "she'll have to wear a wig for the rest of her life"... um duuuuh second graders here, hair grows back. and i think that the media needs to find something better to do than ridicule stars because they changed their look.

 

WTF... like omg. what is this gonna prove girl like were u under the influence. wow! i though normal ppl were so stupid and made wrong decisions. but man. that took it far. like anna nicole smith with m*th and now britney with blad head. like seriously these famous ppl need to gro up adn realize even though u got money put it to GOOD cause not gettin a new friken wig or something SICK,

 

OMG laura,(from the 17th of february) who posted up that she's gonna have to wear a wig for the rest of her life!? are YOU an idiot!? SERIOUSLY, ummm does your hair not grow back!? because as far as i know, Britney's not in chemo, which means DUUH her hair will grow back and she wont have to wear one for the rest of her life!! Moron. Anyways It's her life, and wether she choses to get a tatoo or to shave her head bald, is completly up to her. Doesn't make her any less of a person, except for the fact that people keep harassing her (a.k.a paparazzi) Even if this is a breakdown moment, who could blame her!? Her privacy, her life is bieng destroyed. Maybe she's sick of bieng a sex icon, she's done and doesn't want to be seen in that way, she's a mother, why would she want anything more than to be a good mom to her kids!? LEAVE HER ALONE!

 

I think she looks great.
It takes a really confident woman to shave off her hair.

Alright, Britney!

 

i say leave her alone, so what its just hair maybe shes sick of being judged and objectified, she looks great, it takes a brave woman to stand up to the common ideals of what we "should" look like. i hope she buys her self some boots too!

 

While it does seem like Britney keeps doing things to keep herself in the public spotlight, I don't see why everyone's freaking out over a bald head. I think she looks good in it. Her head is beautifully shaped, therefore, the bald look works for her.

I hope, though, that if the distraught Britney the girl in the tattoo parlor is Britney all the time right now, that things start going better for her real soon. No need to wish ill on a woman I've never met.

 

Sure makes Tom Cruise look sane now when you see videos like that. LOL - Go Britney!

 

Brittany Spears is a dirty sanchez.
