snipshot_b211g61iew1s.jpgWe all know (well, all of us crazy enough to care) that Ms. Spears has been going through a bit of a crisis lately. Should I be at home with my kids? Should I be at Nobus at 8pm with Paris and Lindsay? Should I wear panties tonight? They’re all topsy-turvy questions and the paparazzi is absolutely willing to document the entire harrowing process for us. Now come new photos showing that Britney has shaved her head. We have no idea why this happened, but one reader, Zaster, thinks Brit might be doing her part to save the planet. He/She writes,

“Just imagine, millions of her fans do the same – I did. Millions of kw/h saved for hot water, hair dryers, millions of plastic bottles, thousands of gallons of shampoo and other chemical products — all saved. Car rides to the hairdresser etc. etc. Thank you Britney, it looks great!”

And it makes sense. Maybe Brit is doing all of this to conserve and make a statement. Maybe we’ll see this catch on and soon all of Hollywood will be bald and beautiful and driving Priuses while wearing organic clothing and sipping fair trade lattes. Maybe Britney will join Gore on stage for a duet at Live Earth while also promoting the benefits of composting toilets in-between sets. That, or maybe she just said ‘f**k it!’ and cut off her hair. Either way, this GI Jane is going through some interesting changes at the moment. Which charity do you think her severed locks will go to? It can only be a matter of time before someone throws them up on Ebay…

    Well I like Britney, and I like her music. I clean my house to it on weekends. but… Sorry Britney, I wont be shaveing my head too. since you can get shampoo and condition for only a dollar, and the corner store is only on the corner, I really not wasting much of our environment, and if everyone stopped needing all those products then there will be an increase in unemployment and and increase in crime. So though It may have sounded good, the long term effect would be more devistation to our economy then keeping your pretty hair.

    Og Its good that she thought ahead and did a unique hair style.. What The Hell Though?.. She looks like a Man, All Her Beautiful Blonde Locks All Gone.

      I’ve never really bothered with anything britney has done, well what I’m trying to say is that I’ve never really had a problem with her.

      It’s funny though how this year, shes attracted so much publicity (her marriage with kevin, kids, dropping babies, and now this)

      she really doesen’t look attractive at all with her new “hair cut”. she has dents on her head, how did that happen?

      and i really don’t think that shes really making a great point shaving her head, is s t u p i d.

  • Sam

    I Hink Shes Loosing The Plot Man Gone Shes Gone Crazy :O

  • desperate dude

    I’d Still hit it

  • John Cline

    Lets here her new album and see how talentless she really is..She needs to just be in the news and that all this is

  • Joanna

    She didn’t shave it for the environment, this article is false, she was in a state or anxiety when she did it, she kept saying “i dont what them touching me” they think she has a mental disorder.

    Stupid decision. She already had enough attention, so why would she need more?

    Ever consider all of the previous times when she dyed her hair? The health of it is probably terrible and had to shaved… you never know.

    Maybe she’s going to be in a role of a new movie.

    • http://ecorazzi Senae

      Hopefully,she shaved it for a good cause or maybe she had a bad chemical experience.

    SHES LOOSIN IT….SHE WONT BE A CELEBRITIE ANYMORE!

  • http://www.ecorazzi.com michael

    The article isn’t saying she did it for the environment; it’s all pure speculation. Personally, I think everyone should shave their head once in their life. Why not? :)

  • http://www.myspace.comjamiebumgarner jamie bumgarner

    she looks like kevin federline!!!!

  • Hayden

    fugly…that is all I can say!

  • Chels

    Wow…. She’s really gone off the deep end~ She needs her kids taken away from her… She’s gone CRAZY.

  • Gage

    she has a messed up looking head.

  • Barbara Lerner

    Whaaa….just a cry for attention but it’s already been done….well….w/Demi Moore to name a few that looked awesome.
    Justin came out saying, “you know who you are..you need to stop drinking”…..where does he get off saying such hypocritical b.s….so she came back at him….it’s all a big game w/ the high profile youngsters. By the way Justin sucks big time to not take the blame for his part w/ Janet Jackson.
    It’s like who can out do who.

  • Betea

    I think she should realize what’s important here!!
    It’s not how much drama she can cause in her life,it’s her precious kid’s, that’s what she should be focusing on and not worry about getting trashed everynite. And think about how good it wouuld be waking up and enjoying her life with her kid’s and being a positive rold model for them!!!Really at the end of the day she is all they have!!!So Britany think what’s more important bad press or your kid’s…That alone should make you strong!!!

    Another attention getting antic from Spears. Yawn. As long as people keep talking about her and acting like her actions are so shocking she will continue doing them. Did anyone really think her flashing her privates last November was an accident? Can anyone say “ATTENTION”!

  • bubba

    “FOR THE ENVIROMENT” WHATEV

  • Brittany

    I think Britney is fukin awesome for shaving her head! She’s been gettin all this shit and its kind of like she’s showin that she doesnt care what anybody thinks about her! I’ve loved Britney Spears ever since I was 8 years old and through everything she’s done I still love her!!

  • Anthony

    i think ther need tho leave here alone she is having a hard time as it is so leave here alone.

  • Joe

    I think Britney is still the hottest no matter what hair she has.

  • Joe

    Britney Spears RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I Love her. And a word to all you haters…..You know damn well all the guys on here and most of the girls would still love to hit it.

  • http://www.michealjackson.com tricia macwilliams

    i think britaney is still hot . i have a big piccture of her in my room that i kiss good night every night

  • http://www.northwesttelegraph.com JD

    She’s turning into a HEAD case… no pun intended…

  • little miss

    I think that if people and would give Britney a little bit of respect and stay the hell out of her business that she would be doing a lot better. You don’t know everything about her like you think you do. No one knows what is going on in her life but her. It is her hair and obviously she will do what she wants with it. I think she is a wonderful person.

  • Kari lynn

    Omg!! she looks like hell!! i used to have atleast some respect for her about 10 years ago!and i had always loved her blonde hair but now it is gone so whats to love about her!! i will laugh my ass off if it doesn’t grow back!! i think she might of did it for the attention because she sucks at singing and just about everything else it is a clever way to get all eyes on her!!

  • lil mizz naughty

    i cnt believe she has done dat, she shud fink ov er kids b4 she goes in the head, she looks stupid like that, i feel sorry for her kids more than anything!!

  • http://www.northwesttelegraph.com JD

    It is signs of depression…. Hange’n with the Hollywood Hoes can have an effect on a person.

    Drinking, Drugs, living recklessly will catch up to you… Mainly drugs will make a person get depressed
    and you cant tell me hangen out with Lohan, Hilton, Ritchie etc that your not doing Coke… well then I say you need to drop the landing gear and come back down to earth… I like Britney, Paris and Ritchie but I wont hide from the truth because of it… Britney checked in and out of rehab twice and the last time she checked out she went a shaved her head. ” I said ” and people have said ” this is a publicity stunt” for her new album but I retract that statement because believe me we don’t want that HEAD on any album covers, and when she gets home and looks in the mirror again neither would she. She doesn’t need to be this extreme for sales or popularity she is a magnet when it comes to fame fortune… I think she is depressed right now over the kids and Kevin etc and doing drugs like the depressant Cocaine in those nightclubs will amplify her condition and I think were starting to see the outcome of just that… Hopefully her family will step in and help her because she is starting to drifting to far from the dock right now and eventually she will drown…

    When a guy makes a decision to shaves his head and gets Tattoos it is an experience… When a girl does it especially someone as beautiful as Britney it is a traumatic experience that led up to that decision. Another thing people are way less critical ( if at all ) when a guy does that. Chances are she is regretting it right now and we wont even see her again until it grows back… Think positive about it !!! maybe she will stay home, be with the kids and chill out and think about life for a while until it grows back and also stay out of the reckless clubs for a while. So in a strange way maybe it is unknowingly a good thing she did what she did. And for those of you that think she looks great I think you need to visit this website http://www.pearlevision.com this week they have free examination coupons…

    She really needs a good family “friend” right now…

    P.S. You think she looks good?? Take a good look at the picture at the top of this page all she needs a Swastika in the middle of her forehead !!

    Get real man, its not a good look !!

    If she shaved her head for the environment then I guess my drug theory is right… Let see shave your head then hop in that big 10 mile to the gallon SUV.

    I heard something about that but sorry man the environment head shaving doesn’t cut it over here… Maybe she joined a Cult…

    Her Mom and family are trying to help her but she is rebellious and fighting with her Mom. Like I said she problebly regrets cutting it off. After I wrote the above, last night she was spotted with a blonde wig on somewhere in Holywood.. now that could be a disguise or she feels ridiculous about the baldi..

    Lets see how things unfold.

  • babiigurl

    i think fame has drove her insane. shes finally lost it! i dont think she knows how to handle being famous because so far she’s ruined her life. First, marrying kevin. Second, over partying. and now third, shaving her head. SHES FINALLY GONE MADD
    i think shes pyschotic

  • http://www.northwesttelegraph.com JD

    Opps She Did It Again:

    Someone tell Britney umbrells dont do much damage she needs to use a Mike Stand like everybody else…

    All though I like the getaway car seen ! I dont think anyone knew it was her until they got those photos developed… lol

    I think it’s only a matter of time before Britney runs over a photographer and kills ‘em. What happened to that sweet old Britney we used to know and love?
