LOS ANGELES - Britney Spears appeared in a tattoo parlor in California with her head shaved completely bald.

Video on KABC-TV showed the newly shorn Spears with tiny tattoos on the back of her neck as she sat Friday night for a new tattoo — a pair of red and pink lips.

"She just wanted something real small on her wrist, something dainty," Max Gott, the tattoo artist at Body and Soul in Sherman Oaks, told the TV station. "She got some cute little lips on her wrist." Story continues below ↓ advertisement

Derrik Snell, who works at the tattoo parlor, said Spears showed up without notice and stayed for about 90 minutes as about 60 fans, photographers and gawkers gathered outside.

"She seemed fine," Snell said. "I didn't really notice (the hairdo) at first, she had a hood on when she showed up."

The appearance came the same day as reports on TV and Web sites that Spears, who has drawn criticism for her recent partying and sloppy behavior, had briefly checked into rehab.

She knows how to manage her money and she knows how to reinvent herself with the latest entertainment wave. She's been doing it for 20 years.

Considering her looks and her voice she is amazingly wealthy - and that's because she's smart - not just dumb luck.

Estimates put her net worth at over $600 million.

Britney's estimated net worth is around $100 million and sinking fast.

I don't really follow Britney's life, but Justin Timberlake is from my little part of the world, and the papers were full of her when they were a pair.

Okay, I just did a search, Madonna's IQ is widely reported as being 140. I believe it. If you've ever seen her interviewed she isn't like other celebs, she's notably brighter.

Hey, I'm just having a little fun this morning. I believe you if you say she has an IA of 140. She's smart, but obviously she doesn't have much common sense. What good is her brain if she isn't gonna use it. See my tag line.

She uses her intelligence to twist social norms to her financial benefit without regard to the cost to society as a whole.

I would respect a smidgen for consistency alone if she let her precious kids get exposed to "things" like her.

It is her double-standard that makes the thank GOD she is far enough away not to be on the news every day.

As it is, no respect.

[dmw]

Very true! (BTW, Sorry for the double post.)

[Perdogg]

Maybe she's come to the realization that she's a butch dike and will just come out.

OTHERWISE, she has lost her mind!

Alternate headline, New York Post style:

BRITNEY SHEARS!

[Perdogg]

booo! you beat me to it. I guess great mind think a like.

[Millee]

Wow, she's lost it. I hope there is someone good, nurturing & loving watching her babies. She's a wreck.

[gate2wire]

She did this so everyone can see the tattoo on the top of her head. It reads...


"Let go of my ears, I know what I'm doing."

[ninonitti]

once there was a time you could laugh and not go to jail

So long as it's a question about hair styles of the 70's its okay......

Oh my, is that the face of her new marketing campaign for the fragrances? Can't wait to see the Fantasy ad.
