Be Proud of your Damn Baldness Britney!
So...
Ya'll know I hate Britney. With a wild passion.
I hate that this beautiful girl could rule the world except that her damn stupidity keeps getting in the way.
I hate that she keeps proving the old adage "You can take a girl out of the trailer park, but..."
And while money can't buy happiness, it certainly can buy you some good clothes and a stylist or something.
On the other hand, I've had some compassion for her in the last few months. True, I've been voyeuristically following her trainwreck self, and loving every minute of it. But I also know how really really really crazy you can feel during a divorce - no matter how ridiculous it would seem to others that your kids could be taken away, the very idea can drive you insane. I've been there, I remember. I don't absolve her of blame - really Britney, would it kill you to spend TWO MINUTES with your kids?? and... panties, hello? But some of the stupid stuff she was doing I guess I hoped she would figure out eventually. And she hasn't.
So then she goes and shaves her head. And a big deal is made of it and she is headline news on fucking CNN of all things... and so the only questions the media thinks are valid are: Did she do it for publicity? or Did she have a breakdown?
There are two other possibilities: Did she get sick of that ratty, bleached and dyed, knotted up with extensions hair and decide the best way to deal with it was to start over?
or Did she decide she wanted a completely new and beautiful look?
Either one is a non-crazy question.
The media coverage intensely bothers me as many reports are saying Britney was "out of control" and "a nightmare" etc., during her shave and later tattoo... but the photos clearly show smiles, and the VIDEOS show a very calm Britney getting her tattoo. She may have been upset when she shaved her head, but she seemed to be completely within her senses.
Now this morning I see this. And that, is ridiculous.
Damn Britney, even if you woke up and realized you made a horrendous mistake - you look good bald! Take ownership of your bald head! Be Proud! Say "See Ya'll, I shaved my damn head and I look HOT. Let's see Paris look this good bald!"
But no, instead she puts on a cheap Buffy wig she got from the Halloween store (my daughter has the same damn wig). Can 100 million dollars not buy a nice wig? And can Britney Spears not rock a bald head without shame?
What happened to the new and improved Britney we saw on David Letterman just a few months ago? What happened to the person who dressed her that day?
As much as I hate the girl, I do wonder what is going on in that shaved little empty head. Part of me really wants her to get her act together and prove that she CAN rule the world.
And the other part of me wonders why I just spent all this time on this post instead of reading Aeschylus.

Another point of view as to why she might have shaved her head could be that it was a way for her to take control of her life.
In a world (meaning hers) where publicists, agents and other 'handlers' decide so much of her life, and she is going through a divorce which can sometimes feel like a merry go round spinning out of control (or so I've been told) it's probably nice to once in a while take control. Even if it is just shaving your own head.
Not that I've been thinking about it or anything.
