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.

31. JULES----you rock. I, too thought the reference to cancer patients was in very bad taste. OK---more like, idiotic, moronic, disgusting, & the epitome of "low".

That being said...here are a few more pics of that night.

Remember the infamous interview w/ Matt Lauer? When she was sobbing about wanting to be out of the spotlight, etc, etc...? Then she shows up naked on the magazine cover; and seems have been making every effort to stay IN the spotlight ever since!!
Strange...in most of these photos, she seems to be looking directly into the camera. Perhaps making sure that everyone's seeing her??!!

What a pity. I really liked some of her songs, & thought she was a physically lovely girl. Part of me feels for her...addictions can be monsters.
But when it comes down to it, we ARE the choices we make.

32. #12, Neela,
You're an uneducated idiot (probably went to school with Britney). A hair follicle test can tell you when and what drug you did as far back as the length of the hair. Go get an education.

33. Britney is having a nervous breakdown. This girl needs HELP NOW.

I used to enjoy making fun of her, but now my heart breaks for her and those poor babies of hers.

She did not come from a close-knit family. Who knows where her dad is. She was raised in the church, but has become one of those who is the living example of "what does it profit a man if he gain the whole world but lose his own soul?".

Brit needs help. She needs her mother, her sister and her TRUE friends to sit her down and do an intervention. She needs to stay away from Paris Hilton and other self-absorbed women hell-bent on self destruction.

I honestly believe there is hope for Britney. She is slowly coming unraveled, which shows that she cannot deal with the pressures in her life. It shows that she does have a conscience and knows what she's doing is wrong. There is hope for her if she will just admit she needs help.

Compare and contrast Paris Hilton who seems to have absolutely no conscience whatsoever. She's been spiraling downward for years and doesn't care. She just goes on day to day with her self-absorbed, self-gratifiying behavior and doesn't care what happens. This girl has no hope because she has no clue of what right and wrong are.

God help Britney. If she doesn't get help soon, she will lose those boys and I'm afraid of what will happen to her next.

34. #7, my mother is a cancer patient and what #5 said is not offensive at all. Lighten UP! It's true. She does look like a friggin cancer patient.

She also looks UUUUUGLY, man that girl got a face like a mutt. At least Natalie Portman could pull it off cuz she had a gorgeous face.

#12, Neela, before you go calling people an idiot, do some research. My sister is a rehabilitation nurse. ANY drug that has been in your blood stream gets absorbed by the hair follicles in your scalp. Looks like YOU are the idiot.

And before all you Britney defenders kick into high gear, remember she's NOT a kid - she's nearly 25 (maybe older!) with 2 kids. The time for the 'poor lil britney' excuse is past. She's got a mother, siblings, and children for a support network. She needs to take her millions and check herself into rehab and GET CLEAN or she WILL end up like Anna Nicole.

35. wow,this is not our business & yet TMZ you keep on putting up stupid articles about Britney & other celebrities. What she does with her own hair is her own problem. Who knows what she's going through & why she is doing this. I can see that TMZ & YOU MORONS WHO INTEND TO VOICE YOUR UNWANTED OPINIONS ABOUT HER & OTHER CELEBRITIES ARE GOD & THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUDGE PEOPLE. NOT..SHUT THE FUCK UP ALL OF YOU CAUSE NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR IGNORANT COMMENTS..& BTW, she looks good with her head shaven which i'm sure is a lot more thatn any of you could say for yourself if you ever shaved your heads..geez, you people disgust me.,.with your self-supremacy over other people.

36. Jeez Loouweez! Every time I flip on the news channel, I have to see that wide eyed cue ball and hear about her head shearing!! Maybe she did it because she had head lice or something. Next stop, pubic hair! For GAWD SAKE!! let it be already!!

Posted at 1:05PM on Feb 19th 2007 by aaameee

37. # 35, the pubic hair went 2 months ago, you must have missed the news that week. I do agree though, all the really bad stuff going on right now and the news channels biggest story is a pop stars hair, or lack of. Please don't forget the real stars, the military.

38. Neela - Hate to disagree with you, but a hair follicle drug test can and does detect ALL types of drugs, not just marijuana. I don't know where you are getting your information, but it is unrealiable and untrue. The hair follicle drug test can go back 5 to 7 years; however, it cannot pinpoint exactly WHEN during that time the drug was used; therefore it cannot determine if BS used drugs while pregnant. Depending on the amount of chemical found in the hair follicle can determine approximately how long ago the drug was used. Hair Follical Drug Test are the most realiable source of drug testing next to spinal fluid. I work for Human Resources and we use hair follicle drug test in our pre-employment screenings just for this purpose.

40. Come on! No one anywhere, knows what's going on really, except her inner circle. Pictures can look one way and mean something totally different. Yep, it's a shock about her shaving her hair, but no one knows why she did it really. Maybe she wanted it like that, maybe she is losing it. Who knows? One would hope that if something is really wrong, other than a twenty something just wanting to go out and have a blast, letting off steam, whatever -- that her FAMILY, no matter how much she may protest, will grab hold of her, find out what's going on and HELP HER! This bit about, well she's so young, had 2 babies so close to each other and was in the house for such and such amount of time ---- get a grip! It's part of REALITY when you have children. Deal with it and get over it. Just do what you're suppose to do.
Divorces and break ups happen all the time. Yes, it makes us all sad. There is no instruction booklet telling you that raising children is going to be easy either. Is it very hard at times? Yes. All you can do, is the best you can. In the long run the rewards are worth more than anything you ever went through--way back. If there's reason's that you're acting out, unknown to others -- get help if you need to (it's out there everywhere) and get on with it. We all need help from time to time. It's nothing to be ashamed of. You'd be owning up to it and taking responsibility for it.
Gossiping unfortunately happens. Especially and much more if you're in the lime light. Dig down deep and rise above it all Britney.

41. I went to rehab once and they didn't drug test me when I went in because I went there with a drug problem. They did test me before I left and every 2 weeks after for 6 months. That was by court order. I really don't think rehab will help Brit, you have to want to stop. I think she needs a shirnk.

42. First, I don't think her shaving her head is about some drug test. It's probably all the shit she's done to her hair and now it's falling out in clumps. You can't dye your hair every third day and put extensions in and out with all the damage. Secondly, having your life play out in the public eye when you're only 25 years old, not very smart, terrible parental involvement and a shit load of money can be a disaster. Are there danger signs? Yes. Is this ANS? Maybe, but I doubt it. This is more of a young women who has made some bad decisions and is venting out-of control, she will not get back to the top in the record world, too much real talent out there, and now it's time to just go away for about 6 months or longer and get her head together!!!!!!!!!!!!!

43. Sorry kids but I stand by my story. A follicle test is only legitimate for 90 days. Also, I never said it doesn't work for cocaine - it just isn't generally used for that. A blood test if more reliable for cocaine, opiates etc. TK you are WRONG because you implied the follicle test could prove Brit did drugs while pregnant - NO it cannot dumbass!!! I hope you test positive for crack and get fired from KFC bitch!

44. Her family needs to intervene before she ends up like Anna Nicole Smith - this woman is on the brink of disaster and if i can recognize this fact why can't her family do the same? Come here Brit, bring the babes and move into my spare bedroom.....things will be better if you just have faith in yourself

45. # 32---thanks for setting all of us straight!! WOW! We'll all be better people, now.

Everyone, repeat after me: "I vow to never visit a celebrity blog site & say unflattering things. This will carry over into the rest of my life, so that we will all be brothers & sisters & there will finally be world peace. And, I promise to never call anyone names....like, MORON, for example."
Amen



Good thing my "self-supremacy" isn't over anyone who judges people by saying that their judging people.
Mine is just over my Sims.
