[Buh?](http://www.thekansascitychannel.com/entertainment/11042191/detail.html) This sounds like a gossip hoax - the wording is similar to a UL - especially the detail about Brit using the salon’s clippers to shave herself when the stylist refused. [PerezHilton](http://perezhilton.com/) has pics but who knows if they are real. This isn’t thrilling or fun either way - if it’s true, I pity Brit, and if it isn’t true, then it’s one more piece of evidence that the media has gone to aytch-ee-double-hockey-sticks. ---

See? That’s what happens when you turn tricks for Mickey as a ‘mousketeer’. :eek: Remember what happened to the kids from “Diff’rent Strokes”? Yeah, it’s happening now, all over again.

She’s going to dress in black leather & go out before her audience, singing… "So you thought you might like to go to the show… to feel the warm thrill of confusion, that space-cadet glow… Well, I got some bad news for you, Sunshine. Brit isn’t well. She stayed back at the hotel. So they sent us ahead as a surrogate band. We’re gonna find out where you fans really sta-a-and!.." ---

Maybe she’s trying to fill the “drugged out and humiliating myself” void that Ana Nicole left. Truly bizarre behavior. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/britney-spears-allegedly-shaves-own-head-gets-tattooed/392619.md?page=2)
