New look for Britney Spears


Britney Spears has revealed her latest look - a completely shaven head.

The singer and mother of two stunned fans and paparazzi photographers when she walked into a hairdressing salon in Los Angeles and asked a stylist to cut all her hair off. When the hairdresser refused, Spears grabbed some clippers, and can be seen in snaps shearing herself bald.

The 25-year-old was then followed as she drove to a tattoo parlor and had two images etched; a pair of bright red lips on her wrist and a black, white and pink cross on her lower hip. Tattooist Emily Wynne-Hughes, who was in the shop, now fears the drastic new look is a stark warning of Spears' emotional instability. She says, "After (Britney) left, we said to each other, 'We just saw a huge celebrity on the verge of a nervous breakdown.'
Ms Spears is reported to have recently checked in to an Antigua rehabilitation centre and checked out one day later.

Afterwards she was bundled by her minders into a waiting SUV with her head completely covered by a hood.
