And another thing...

Not sure where this is coming from...

I'm usually one to either put Britney Spears down for not being the brightest bulb in the box, or pitying her for the pushy adults in her life who created her image, and then as she got older, for not knowing any better and perpetuating it. But the uproar that's been created by her shaving her head is just baffling. I can only guess that the news outlets are getting tired of the only celeb scandal news being Anna Nicole, and needed someone else to dish on, and since TomKat seem to still be in hiding...

It's a haircut, people. Drastic, certainly. Maybe it's a cry for help, maybe not. Shaving your head bald doesn't mean you're going to wake up in an alley the next day with a needle hanging from your arm. There's an excellent chance all it means is that she woke up one day, with 2 small kids, a career on hold, and a failed marriage, and realized she badly needed to feel something about herself that wasn't "Britney Spears," the label. When I saw the story, I just wanted to give her a hug and a "you go, girl," and then tell every paparazzi in the immediate vicinity to f*ck off. Until she pulls a Kate Moss and starts doing lines in public, people need to get the hell over it and let her figure herself out.
