I guess having all that massive attention at an early age will eventually break you down (look at Michael Jackson). In the grand scheme of things though, I do not think this is such a scandal. I mean bitch just shaved her head. Sure she looks like she is auditioning for Star Trek but it will grow back. She is a broken woman who right now probably feels her worth by how often the press mentions her. These same journalists and photographers who are reaping in the money hounding her and reporting on her mini break down are the same ones who will write pieces about her dramatic comeback should it happen. If she manages to turn herself around you will get big ole sob stories written about her, praising her for being strong and fighting – probably in the same news print that brought her down. At the end of the day Britney Spears is just a girl (not yet a woman) who had the lime light thrust upon her at 14, who is now going through very human emotions, but she doesn’t have the luxury of going through them privately.
Good luck Britney, hope everything works out for you. Stay indoor till it grows about an inch, and then venture out when you are mentally strong and show off your new-cropped do!
And by the way hon, I am sorry. We all did this to you by buying the magazines and new papers in the first place (expect me…It was front page on Yahoo news! FRONT PAGE!!!! Wow this world is f*cked) so at the end of the day it is our responsibility. We all could have turned our back and allowed the girl time to breathe.

I bet Christina Aguilera is absolutely pissing her knickers over this latest Britney performance !
I agree with everything you said, Mikey. First of all, I couldn't believe how big a deal the press made this out to be...bizarre behaviour, yes, (see: http://www.laineygossip.com/ArticleList.aspx?ID=5903) but not worth a news segment on CNN, FOX or Yahoo News.
I can so see the headlines for when she (hopefully) gets clean and gets her act together. The same media who ripped her to shreds will also build her back up again (after all, they love a comeback). Yup...new found strength, new look, new body, new album, new outlook...and everyone from CNN to Oprah to TMZ.com will be eating this sh*t up! I've never really been a big Britney fan, especially when eveyone was comparing her to Madonna (which just irritated the hell out of me - stark contrasting careers and personalities), but do I ever feel for her. No one should have to endure this type of scrutiny when going through personal and private pain...
Good news is, I just saw on all those above-mentioned media outlets that Britney has checked into rehab - again. This time it's in LA. Let's hope the media leave her the hell alone and let her focus on what she needs to do.
Carolyn...you so need to write your own blog honey. You gotta gift!
