Britney's Meltdown in Photos

Britney Spears landed in Los Angeles on Friday -- and we use that phrase very loosely. The former singer immediately plunged into her new beauty regimen; head shaving, tattooing -- and partying!

TMZ brings you the pop mom meltdown in all its inky pseudo-glory.

241. She has the classic signs of postpartum depression, maybe even postpartum psychosis. This is a genuine, and dangerous, psychiatric illness. No one is stepping in to help, i.e., "friends" or family because she has been a meal ticket for so many people for so long.

244. It's up to God to figure out the fakes from the truly distraught, and if someone cries out for help, I listen, I don't make judgment. I will pray for her, and I hope she has a speedy recovery from what is bothering her.

247. In my field of work...when someone does something so drastic as to shave their head...I take that as a sign of heavy drug use. Especially when they will possibly be appearing in court where the custody of minor children are in consideration. It is common practice these days for both parents to undergo Drug Testing when divorcing and deciding on who the custodial parent shall be. And with the wonders of science...it's no longer a blood test...or even just a Urine Drug Screen...but most commonly a UDS and Hair Follicle Drug Test. This gives the authoritive figures two different views of possible drug use. Past and Present. So...maybe since supposedly Britney had just been threatened with an emergency court hearing for Kevin Federline to obtain full custody of the children...and he also says that he will request that Britney undergo drug testing (since it's pretty obvious that at some point in time she has done some sort of illegal drug (the video about missing out on things)...and all drugs enter and exit the system in different time frames) if it does in fact come to that...if she doesn't go to Rehab and actually complete it...you can't do a Hair Follicle drug test on something does not exist. Women most typically have hair on their head...but not usually in other places. And it's not as unusual for a man to shave his head and have hair in other places...but for a woman...evidently it is absurd to shave your head. Personally...I don't think she looks so bad with the new do. Possibly even better than ever. She really does have beautiful facial features...which are usually hidden by mounds of hair. And I definitely favor the shaved head over that horrid blonde wig! In any case...just my thoughts on possibly why she did such a drastic thing so quickly. I'm not a Britney fanatic...nor am I a Britney hater. I simply like to know what's going on in the world. I wish her the best. Especially since she is a young mother of two very young and impressionable Beautiful children. Children need their parents...but most especially their Mother.

250. MAN IF YOUR SUGGESTING SHES A BAD ROLE MODEL FOR HER TEEN AGE FAN BASE, OH WELL BRITNEY IS NOT A TEENAGER, SHE A WOMEN. REMEMBER SHE IS A WOMEN ,GOING THROUGH WOMEN STAGES,A DIVORCE WITH 2 KIDS, MAYBE POST PARTUM DEPRESSION, YEH SHE HAS TEEN FANS BUT SHE GOT ADULT FANS TOO, WHO THE ADULT FANS UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE GOING THROUGH, IF THE TEENAGER DONT HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN THEN ITS NOT HER FAULT. IN LIFE WE HAVE CHOICES.

251. IN life we have choices to do our own thing ,if we go on copying what is wrong then .we r a lost society, we are not followers WE R LEADERS, if your kids r copying that just means they were not taught to do the right thing. its no one fault but your self. DO NOT SUGGEST POOR TEENS OR KIDS, so BRITNEY HAS NO FAULT IN THE brainless followers that have no image of their own, So in other worlds Leave Britney alone.

252. I feel sorry for Britney. Hollywood RUINS people. Like Anna Nicole. Honey you just need to come back home to tha South and let Momma take care of you and your babies until you can handle yourself and your children again. Your first mistake was marrying that Kevin Federline. Britney darling, you are making the South look HORRIBLE. You should know comming from tha South, that Momma makes everything better. So come home. Heal. And then go back to HELL WOOD and knock their socks off with tha OLD SKOOL Britney we all loved. People make mistakes, but in th a public eye you got to work extra hard to fix them.
All of us in tha South wish you and your children tha best and hope Holly (HELL) Wood dont kill you off like it did Anna Nicole and her son.

253. In reference to TK's comments about a hair follicle test only showing marijuana. YOU'RE the idiot.. who told ya that?. Where do you process your information?. You are completely INCORRECT!. I am a nurse and they can very well tell what drugs she's been using and for how long (up to at the least amount.. 90 days).

Hair sample drug testing can detect all of the major types of drugs, including marijuana, opiates, methamphetamines, PCP, ecstasy, and cocaine. Hair follicle drug testing can detect the trace amounts of illicit substances trapped in the cortex of the hair for up to 90 days after use. This type of testing is used because if drugs are in the system it wont deteriorate

She may have very well shaved her head for that reason. But nontheless. We shouldnt put out information we know NOTHING about. And persoanlly, I dont feel sorry for any adult who makes a decision to put poision in there body. There are allot of people living life who dont have it easy. Yet they dont resort to this behavior. I feel sorry for her children and her family whom she selfishly is putting through this. What determines who she is... and her recovery... is not what any of us think... but what SHE thinks. And regardless of how I see her, or what I think of her.. I do wish her success in recovery.. no matter how long it takes.

254. I betcha she got sick and tired of y'all starin' at her and she gave 'em something to gauk at. She doesn't seem to me that she deserves all the crap beind dissed. I betcha she's just fine- can you even fathom having those idiots in your face every single second of your life? How would you act out? You think you know what you would do?
