To be honest I really love her last song 'you want a piece of me' .. she really wants peace. Imagine if it was you in her shoes, like any celebrity you'd hate the press! At least she came clean .. for now .. but who knows perhaps we will see her next doing laundry in a drug rehab center! 

I couldn't understand why Britney got so VILLIFIED over her bald head. Because it's unfeminine? There's going to be a bunch of us shaving our heads to raise funds for cancer research next month - I'd rather this not overshadow all our efforts just because someone famous decides to shave her head. (Hey, she might have done it for us, who knows ;P)

It would be a lot easier to buy the "she's being a free spirit"/she's being "insouciant" argument if we hadn't been watching her spiral out of control for a year now.

I just don't buy that it was a radical feminist act. OK! mag says she shaved it in order to avoid a drug test. Whether that's true or not, is irrelevant in my opinion. Her bald head is a cry for help, and hopefully she's getting it.

PS Great round-up, Melinda!

I've only seen the story from afar, but it has annoyed me no end when it crosses my field of vision or hearing.

If one wishes to have long hair, short hair, no hair, curly hair, straight hair, blonde hair, brown hair, black hair, pink hair, whatever hair... Why raise such a fanfare about such a lack of hair, of hair no longer there, of a head now bare? Is that fair? Was it a dare? Did she spill a bottle of Nair? Is it really that rare? Do I care?

Only over the fuss. I'd bet she looks good with her hairless head.

Britney Spears has been partying almost non-stop ever since her divorce from Kevin Federline, flashed the press, shaved her head and tattooed her body on the same night, and checked into--and out of--rehab twice in the last week.

If she were a single celebrity, it would just be par for the course, though it would still make Entertainment Tonight each evening. But the fact that she has young children and seems, to put it nicely, pretty damn unstable, means her behavior has crossed over from the Entertainment venues to the evening news.

Now, I don't know how I feel about immature behavior garnering so much attention, but in light of the whole Anna Nicole Smith dying in a pool of her own vomit (I love that, by the way, "her OWN vomit," like it would be anyone else's?), people are beginning to look at these outrageous behaviors on the part of attractive, wildly popular and far-too-privileged celebrities in a different light. Finally, we are beginning to wonder, "Hey, are these people self-destructive?"

If anyone saw Craig Ferguson's show the other night, I think he hit it right on the mark. Britney is exhibiting all the signs of someone who simply isn't thinking rationally, and, as a recovering addict, he suggested she might need some kind of help.

Of course, Britney and her publicist's idea of "help" is to check her into a revolving-door celebrity hideout overnight to make her outrageous behavior seem like a cry for help, when really she could care less. Right now, she is still stuck on the selfishly indulgent spree of a woman too immature to be a mother and too old to get away with acting like a spoiled brat. She'll have to hit rock-bottom in her own eyes before she is really ready to get serious help, in the form of a twelve-step program.
