You would have thought Delilah shaved Samson's head again after the breathless reports of Britney Spears shaved her head Friday night. Apparently the pop singer-mother-train wreck did the deed before going to a Sherman Oaks tattoo parlor and giving the tabloids something to pun about.
A witness told reporters Britney "said she was tired of people touching her head." That makes total sense. Plus, her hair was getting really gross after all the dye jobs and extensions. Esther Tognozzi, owner of the salon where Spears stopped in to self-shave her head, told Extra,
"She was just there in body and not really emotionally there." Hmm, jet-lagged from her non-stint at a Caribbean rehab clinic? The Post details more of what happened:
"I tried to talk her out of it. I said, 'Are you sure you're not having a bad day and tomorrow you'll feel differently about it? Why don't we wait a little bit?' " Tognozzi told CNN.
"I didn't want to be liable, I didn't want to get sued," Tognozzi explained in the "Extra" interview. "I didn't want her agent to call me and say you ruined her image."
So the Kentwood, La., native did what any country girl would do - she picked up the shears and plum did it herself.
Tognozzi felt bad for her and decided to help the single mother of 18-month-old Sean Preston and 5-month-old Jayden James finish the job, Us said.
And when it was over, Spears, who separated from hubby Kevin Federline last year, seemed to be thinking, "Oops, I did it again!"
"She just looked in the mirror and said with tears in her eyes, 'Oh, my God, I shaved it all off. My mom is going to be so upset with me,' " Tognozzi told Us Weekly.
"You know what I told her, she's lucky she has a nice shaped head. She looked cute, she's a cute little girl," Tognozzi told "Extra."
It's good to know that CNN is on top of this story, too. And the salon owner's husband says Spears's hair may be auctioned off for charity.
Spears's new tattoos include a cross and a pair of lips. X17 has photographs and video of the event. And remember when everyone went back to loving Britney Spears for about ten minutes when she surprised David Letterman last fall? Those were the days.
