LOS ANGELES -- It's a new look for Britney. Pop singer Britney Spears has shaved her head completely bald.
US Magazine reported that Spears went into a hair parlor to get her head shaved and that when the hair stylist refused to shave her head, Spears grabbed the clippers and shaved it herself.
A Los Angeles television station grabbed footage of her Friday night at a tattoo parlor in the San Fernando Valley. She was there to get a couple of tiny tattoos on her wrist, a pair of pink and red lips. Us Weekly magazine reported that she also got a black, white and pink cross tattooed on her lower hip.
A parlor employee said Spears showed up unannounced and stayed for about 90 minutes, while dozens of fans, photographers and gawkers gathered outside.
The employee told US Magazine that Spears was agitated when she arrived at the tattoo parlor and that when someone asked her why she shaved her head, Spears said, "I don't want anyone touching me. I'm tired of everybody touching me."
The woman said Spears "wasn't making sense at all" and that it seemed like she wasn't in a good place. She said Spears was "totally freaking out."
"She was a nightmare to deal with," the woman told the magazine. "She was screaming and flipping out from the pain and wiggling her body all around."
Police eventually arrived to control the crowd and help Spears' bodyguards guide her into a waiting SUV. And by that time, she had covered her head with the hood of a sweatshirt.
As for the new bald look, one fan who's not terribly thrilled said, "It looks terrible."
Earlier in the week, Spears checked into a rehabilitation facility and then quickly checked out, People Magazine reported. People reported that the pop diva checked herself into Eric Clapton's Crossroads Centre in Antigua but left after one day.
Meanwhile, an e-mail on Tuesday from Spears' former assistant said the pop star needs to get her act together because she is headed for "rock bottom."
Felicia Culotta worked for the 25-year-old pop star for nearly 10 years.
Culotta wrote an e-mail that was posted on the Web site ThatOtherBlog.com. It was addressed to "Ruben" who reportedly runs the Web site.
Since filing for divorce from Kevin Federline in November, Spears has drawn criticism for her drinking, partying and sloppy appearance.
In her e-mail, Culotta said that Spears' family and close friends are trying to help her. Culotta said she is now working as a corporate flight attendant and living in Mississippi.
Gina Orr, Spears' publicist at Jive Records, couldn't be reached at her office and didn't immediately respond to an e-mail from the Associated Press asking for comment.
Britney Shaves Her F&*%ing Head!!!
Posted Feb 17th 2007 2:00AM by TMZ Staff
We have now seen it all.
Britney Spears, back from less than 24 hours in a Caribbean rehab facility, showed up at a Sherman Oaks, Calif. tattoo parlor Friday night sporting a new hairdo. KABC in Los Angeles caught her as she got a new tattoo of red lips on her wrist..
Ladies and gentleman, she is now completely bald.
Words escape us.
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Britney Spears appeared in a tattoo parlor in the San Fernando Valley 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 sits 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."
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.
Larry Rudolph, Spears' manager, couldn't be reached for comment.
Syndicated entertainment TV show "Extra" first reported that Spears had entered a treatment facility. Celebrity Web site TMZ.com then said the singer had entered a treatment center but had checked out one day later. Neither revealed their sources.
People magazine's Web site, citing "a source," said Spears had gone in and out of rehab, and identified the facility as Eric Clapton's Crossroads center in Antigua, in the Caribbean.
"Access Hollywood" then said the reports weren't true, but didn't cite a source.
A woman who answered the phone at Crossroads told The Associated Press that she couldn't confirm or deny anyone's presence at the facility.
Angelique Uram, a Spears fan who stood on the tattoo parlor's sidewalk for Friday night's spectacle, was aghast at the singer's new look.
"We could see her in the mirror, and her head is completely shaved," she told KABC. "It looks terrible."
Police arrived to control the crowd and helped Spears' bodyguards guide her into a waiting SUV, her head covered by a hooded sweatshirt.

What is wrong with her the girl NEEDS HELP!!!
1Wow, she seems to be having breakdown or something. She really needs help, otherwise he's going to get her children taken away.
2talk about a complete MELTDOWN
3Wow.. is she trying to lose her children? Cause all of these things can be used against her. I just picture her sitting in court with Kfed's attourney listing all of this irratic behavior as proof that she is unfit and unstable..and he will actually be making a good point.
Well.. at least no more Eddie Munster hair. On one hand good... cute bob wigs will look awesome.
WOW
4She's going through something really bad. I hope she can find the support she needs, especially for her children's sake.
5I'm going to give her the benefit of a doubt (which I shouldn't do, lol) but didnt she just lose her aunt to breast cancer? Maybe she's going to try to raise cancer awareness.
Now I'm giving her way too much credit (probably happened in a drunken stupor), but that's the first thing I thought of when I saw these pics.
6I saw a news interview outside the tattoo parlor and the reporter asked one of the employees why she thought Brit did it...the employee said something to the extent of "she was tired of people touching her." The first thing I like to do after my hubby cuts his hair is rub where it's been shaved...yeah, Brit...no one likes to feel a freshly-shaved head
7No the child needs serious help maybe even a mental institution she has clearly lost it! She went into the salon demanding they open it after it closed told the girl she better shave her head the girl refused so Britney did it herself. I hope social services is standing at her door now waiting to take her kids. The girls cracked out. They said she cried for like 10 minutes before she went in and shaved her head.
8Duh - sorry - just saw the "I'm tired of people touching me" comment in the first article posted from US Weekly!
9I think Britneys main problem is that EVERYBODY around her just keeps quiet and lets her do what she wants. Yes she is a grwon woman but your NEVER to old for your mom to get real grip up your dumb azz and smack some sense into you! ESPECIALLY when the child is clearly breaking down mentally and abusing alchohol and drugs! She needs someone to step in and say I'm not taking your ish anymore your getting help NOW! I guess they rather her loose everything she's built and her children!
10I thought about her doing this as a tribute to her aunt, but why would she do it now after she has passed. Wouldn't you want to show your support while yoru aunt was living?
However - this is Brit Brit - so anything goes and reasoning is completely out of the question
11My guess is that she will be doing another interview with Matt Lauer and when he asks why she shaved her head her response will be:
"We're country. My Dad used to shave his head when he was little. We're just country."
She is country - but what country is the question!
12
I'm speechless. This is the first I have heard of
this............................
13she just changed her look. no bid deal. she's a madonna-in-the-80's wannabe and will always be.

good lord. i think it is drugs now. i used to think it was alcohol but
she is seriously on some drug making her hallucinate. what the hell is the statement everyone is trying to touch me? i am not a huge britney fan but i will be saddened if something happens to
her like anna nicole. this just goes from being entertaining to plain frightening. GET HELP BRITNEY, NOW!!
16I was thinking this was one of Whip's photoshops but
She is not well and needs to be commited for her own sake
17JennyJen...that was hilarious.
What country is right. I also hate when she says it is bc she
is "southern". There are plenty of southern people that know how to behave in public, I promise.
I think they need to get her to a hospital stat, she is obviously off kilter, be it drugs, alcohol or just a regular old mental breakdown from all the stress of divorce, etc...
Her mom and dad need to lay the smack down and take control. I am 30 years old and if I acted like this my parents would be all over me and I would be in a little room with a dr right now.
On a brighter note, at least no more crazy weaves and extensions for awhile. She may actually come out looking better than recent times.
18i know clique! i can't even imagine what she is thinking today. total remorse i would hope.
19So u all know where I stand I think her momma needs to step in and act like her momma. People can say what they want that her momma doesnt have to help her anymore bla bla bla, but as a mom my self I see it as you NEVER give up on your child. No matter how embarassing she is to you no matter how rude hard headed etc.. thats your child and no matter the age you need to help them. Thats just how I see it. That being said I think she needs help I think shes having a serious melt down.
20BUT I want to give her the benefit of the doubt that this is maybe a sign of a new britney. I dont know bout yall but everytime something seriously bad has happened in my life whether it be a bad break up lost a job my wreck bad things that happened I always cut my hair really short to "get rid of the bad ends" I know alot of girls that do that. MAYBE And Im really praying and crossing my fingers thats the case and we will see a new attitude on brit. wow I wrote a book
as for what i have heard about it being a "start over" because her hair was so damaged? i can't imagine someone of her celebrity and wealth not having the resources to be able to get her hair under control. i mean look at madonna. that lady has been harming her hair for years and she has never once decided to shave it all off.
clearly brit is freaking out. i mean she may be going through a f*ck it phase, i'll show you but a pixie cut would have sufficed.
i just feel like giving her a big hug, pat her back and repeatedly chant.."there there, everything will be alright, this too shall pass".
21Seriously. I've never liked her and never even really respected her, but now I just feel really bad for her. I hope she's able to get some help, FAST.
22audrey, that's sweet.
It's sooo true.."this too shall pass".
What I don't understand is why doesn't a family member Baker Act her. That way she could at least be observed and be taken care of by some mental health professionals. I mean..I have no idea if she is okay or not. But, if she isn't okay...a family member really needs to initiate the Baker Act. It's sad seeing some one self-destruct...if, that's what is happening. It looks that way to me, though.
I hope she gets herself together soon.
23BeachBarbie, I agree with you and Audrey. I'm glad other people think she REALLY needs help.
