Buy It Now: Britney Spears Hair on Sale on eBay

a huge lock of hair that allegedly belonged to Britney Spears and is now for sale on eBay [Editor's Note: This story has been updated. For the newer developments of this very important issue, please click here]

Quicker than you could say "wtf", Britney Spears had shorn her dirty locks and local entrepreneurs had scooped it up, bagged it, tagged it, and listed it on eBay.

Currently there are dozens of eBay listings claiming to have some of the pop star's hair for sale and this one (which also provides an email address to a lawyer who will discuss any legal questions) explained how they got the infamous booty:

Britney showed up at the salon, and told the stylist to give her the works! However, the stylist, Esther Tognozzi, at Esther’s Haircutting Studio decided not to risk a lawsuit by destroying the Pop Icon's image. So Britney “grabbed the buzzer and started buzzing her own hair off. ... I just cleaned it up when she was done with it,” according to Tognozzi.

So all that hair was in a pile on the floor, and I tell you, we were all in a frenzy. I grabbed some hair, and she grabbed some hair, and he grabbed some hair and we all ran off to our computers and sell them on eBay!!!

Afterwords, Britney got two tatoos at a nearby parlor, but I can't auction off the needles that they used. - etrywesd

Other items for sale include a painting of a very scary looking bald Spears, hair from a dog named Britney, and a variety of domain names like britneyspearsisbald.com. It appears that the auction for her hair, her lighter, and a can of Red Bull that she drank from was de-listed.

BRITNEY THIS IS STUPED OF WAT U HAVE DONE CAUSE IT LOOKS HORRIABLE LOOK AT YOUR SELF WILL YOU HAD HAIR AND NO ITS HORRIABLE

 

she looks funny!!!

 

Its just hair yeah? get over it. I'm sure she had reasons. doesn't look that bad anyway.

 

okayyy brittany ur a dumb ass and i am going to laugh once the fedarul is going to go after ur kids cause al the shit youve done i liked u better once u were singing and know ur ugly and fat

 

SHE lookS like old fat alien from a Sr citizens dance class!!!!!!!!!!

 

Y'know, I shaved my head a couple times in my life and while I wasn't famous...it sure made alot of people look twice at me. I can totally feel for Britney. I am betting...she hated her dark hair...that would be a good reason why she was crying before she shaved her head..lol..I know my dark hair always made me cry! Now she'll have a fresh start! Get off her ass. She is just a famous girl living a normal life! If I shaved my head again (and I have very long hair now too) no one would care..the only reason anyone is reading anything into this is because she is a pop princess. To tell you the truth..I've never been a fan of Brit but I can only imagine how tough it's got to be to live your life under a microscope in a glass house! Leave her alone...

 

Do u really think people are going to believe thats Britney`s hair....you got to be kidding....Good Luck...you may need it!!!

IF I WANTED TO BUY HER HAIR WHICH I NEVER WILL ILL BUY MY OWN HER THAT NASTY WHY WOULD US PEOPLE WANT TO BUY HER HAIR I NEVER LIKED HER FROM THE BEGINING AND I NEVER WILL

 

SHES A MAN EATER MAKE HER SHAVE HER HER HAIR BALD AND THROW IT ON THE FLOOR SHES A MAN EATER LOL

 

Do any of you retards know how to write the English language? Do you realize how dumb you all look with your illiterate attempts to communicate?

 

It's hair. Big deal. And to all you morons who are bashing her, she is a complete stranger to you. Why do you care?

 

i think you guys are really stupid. its just hair! it will grow soon. and just leave britney spears alone.. its her own life she can do whatever she wants. if she wants attention then try all she wants. you guys care too much. dont you have your own life to care about? just leave her alone

 

ok y the hell is everyone being all like "omg ur so mean! y would u do that to britney?!" britney knew what she was getting herself into crazy or not! she knew from the begining that u get no privacy when ur famous! stop bitching this isnt making her feel worse because she probably wont even read this! stop trying to act so simpathetic because ur not even fooling urselves! if she were so great she wouldnt have done what she did!

 

Well, I though ppl was jokin but today i have seen the picks, OMG britney your going to have to have a wig on for a long time dudeette!! What the HELL is wrong with her was not showing her pubic hair enough, to think this was an icon for my daughter! Not any more!

 

britney sucks alot of dirty d*ck and looks gay..haha...wat a losa...smoke a smoke not a butt...f*ck a virgin not a slut!!! yYYEEAAAHHH...to all my friends in canada i love you eh?? we re the metis...lmao...its not her real hair probly just her pubes....now go buy that sh*t

 

THATS NOT HER HAIR SHE HAS DARK BROWN HAIR...FIND SOME OTHER HOBBY LOSER

 

I agree with Jim Jim. Look at all the retards posting on the article. They can't even write and spell half of their words correctly. Maybe they should worry about fixing their language skills instead of posting on a stupid story. At least I get a good laugh trying to decipher their funny comments.

 

for all you fuken losers out there get a fukin life and leave her alone, get over it. its her life not yours so you dont have to worry about it. GROW UP for all you immature people.

 

she just wants attention...
and it's working.

 

i like number 24's comment hehe GOGGLES! SMARTTY! :P

 

i love britney spears - hit me baby 1 more time.

 

i got aids from britney :(

 

its so funny lol... what if she's her pubes and sale it to the public... what u can say...
wowwww britney its good for you.... and money easy..

 

That girl just wants attention.

 

Weird... well that's her fault for shaving it anyway. :D

 

They're doing that?? It's only hair.

 

Hu cares wat the stars do to their hair she looks so ugly now, mayb she will stop actin a tart now. And no one in the right mind will buy that hair its probally fake anyway!!!!!

 

what was she thinking like i mean why would anyone do that anyway. But just think bout it, if she wasnt famous nobody would care, heck, none of this would have happened, she got too much pressure with her split and kevin wanting the kids and all that!!! THE MAIN THING IS SHE HAS TOO MUCH PRESSURE WITH BEING FAMOUS!!!

 

she was so pretty with her hair she must have had to much to drink or had lots of drugs

 

I love Britney we had hot passionate sex once and i love you forever baby!yeaaah
but you gave me chlamydia!!!:(:(
please call me back baby
i miss you
love
matty
xoxoxoxoxo

 

what the f*#k was she thinking.getting bald was stupid.she will regret geting bald.i know her hair will grow back but people will talk.she will probably lose her audience.and what the f*#k is wrong with people selling her hair.i will never buy that shit.

 

i think ur all nuts

 

Britney made me laugh by this, she is not a problem for me, cause I know that she is just a very stupid bitch and late-adolescent. It´s funny, but she should start to think about herself in self-preservation way cuz if it is the other way round the crash-land waits for her. But good people ended much worse and that they didn´t deserve it at all. So I´m not interested in her, just a little curious about the continuation, I´m not sorry for that stupid childlike bitch. She just must be in the limelight.

 

We think that you shouldn't have opinions on other people's lives. Why do you care about britney? give her some space! okay... maybe she's mental... maybe she shaved her hair off for a reason... but if she did you don't know the reason! don't jump to conclusions! And no offence... but why would you want to buy/sell hair over in internet? what are you gonna do with it? hang it on a wall? some people are just WEIRD.
p.s. i realise that this is a debate (not a messege to britney) but i am not going to take sides. Yes, it is true that it is possible that she's done it for attention... yes, it's possible that she's done it to avoid a drug test (that wouldn't work) yes, it is also possible that she just felt like a change. just leave her alone. have your own opinions, but don't try to perwade others against her. you don't know her. i dont know her. shut up.

and you should be imbarrased that a 13 year old boy and a 15 year old girl can spell and speek better than you. get alife. stupid americans.x

 

she looks so0o0o0o0o horrible!!! she should crawl under a rock and DIE!!! she is such a retart!!!!

 

hey brittney is so crazy first she got her picture takin while she was nude(panties) then borrowing clothes from strippers than this what next is she going to kill herself or something?


i met brittney at a concert

 

Peepz, the reasons why she shaved her head was maybe becuz she is a drug addict, becuz she hated her black hair or cuz she wanted attention.....Britney, if u are reading this, lemme say u that you look like a demon HORRIBLE... People she is not funny she is s demon! YOU FREAKING GIRL!!
