Train Wrecks
Salon Owner Says Brit's Stunt Was for Publicity

Esther Tognozzi, owner of the salon in Tarzana where Britney speared her hair on Friday, gave a call-in interview this morning to Los Angeles' 102.7 KIIS FM's On Air with Ryan Seacrest. Esther told Ryan Seacrest that Britney's hairtastrophe could have been a publicity stunt.

Tognozzi claims that she had closed the blinds so that no one would see Britney's meltdown, and yet pictures that surfaced from paparazzi agencies are all so clear -- it's as if the photogs were in the shop, which Esther insisted was not the case. When asked if bodyguards had opened the blinds, her response was, "I think so."

17. 11. you're right, maybe those people are tired of fighting with her that they just let her do anything she wants rather than dealing with the situation, but is really sad

19. No Shit! Ya Think? It's so obvious. Anna Nichole has been hogging up all of her Blog Space so she fucking panicked, took my advice, and went and did something REALLY FUCKIN STUPID, in order to get bumped to the top. Simple as that. Now she's back in REHAB, where her fucked up hair can have a chance to regrow after being dyed 80 different fucking colors in the last month. She will emerge in 12 days claiming to be cured, and then Tom Cruise will convert her to Scientology, whereupon her entire fortune will mysteriously disapear, All the while cranking out babies with different men. In less then three years she will be doing diaper commercials, and in ten, denture commercials.

20. She needs to go into hiding for a while. It's amazing what people will do to stay in the public eye. Fuck that kind of lifestyle. That shit is for the birds. Cuckoo birds that is.

21. Brit is a total waste of space - if she's proud of her actions why is she covering them up? Hopefully this train wreck will go away but first the press has to stop enabling her.

23. Britney is a has been, she can't sing and when she does she sounds like a duck under water. Britney Acting career Well, she can't act. Britney needs to get out of Hollywood or the lime light for a little while take care of her children, take them to school when there old enough to go. I can't believe that Britney would use her children as a way of getting attention for herself and then dont take care of them anymore because that would be outdated for her and then she would pass the children off to someone else to take care of. Britney u arent a mother u are a kid youself. Those Children should have been taken away from u long time ago. cant believe that u stumble with the sean in your arms with a drink in the other and trying to get in a car to drive. I hope they take your children away and give them to a nice family that wants children and would love those children of yours with LOVE, u dont. Now on your Baldness some women it looks nice ...U look UGLY , arent u afraid that your children are going to be screaming when they see u??? last but not least.. Your blond wig it makes u look like a ugly drag queen. Ive seen drag queens and they are pretty but u ...Well ...u look follish trying to get attention.

24. Of course it was for publicity!!

Come on, she could of shaved her fat head at home, in privacy!! No, she instead decided to go out and get her head shaved, she's starving for any form of attention.
Even though she pleaded to Matt Lauer for the paparazzi to leave her alone, she continues to overexpose herself.

25. Saying it was a Publicity Stunt " is a good way to justify selling her hair LOL . I think the salon has a bunch of scum working there. Publicity OK !!!!! The Brit is loosing it because she cant win against the press. OMG she almost droped her baby. Ok moms out there be honest . We all have been there. Car seat is on wrong take a look on how many people get it wrong. Now when she had the baby in her lap that was poor judgement.(very poor) But she is new mom and learning .

GIVE THE GIRL A BREAK !!!! she was married to that looser . That looser is going to sell a tape of them together to make money. Yeah he really give a hoot about his kids :0 What about the other two K Fed has that Brit was paying suport on for
him. Go after K Fed !!!!!!!!!!!

28. Isn't there a photo inside the salon with someone holding a video camera on their shoulders?

29. Thank you to whoever posted that when she almost dropped her kid she didn't drop her drink. I don't think she spilled a drop, and she was pregnant at the time. Whoever keeps saying "all new moms make mistakes" I agree, but look at the extent of the mistakes. How can you justify almost dropping your kid with your drink well balanced, while you're pregnant!?! Obviously I don't know that it was alcohol, but the glass and color was telling. Looked like she stopped at a hotel bar or something and grabbed a drink to go. If it's not a stunt how is there crystal clear photos of practically every lock of hair being shaved? Especially the one directly behind her; come on. I've seen the pictures taken from outside of a window (like the ones at the tattoo parlor) and you can tell the difference. Yet the salon owner is lying about it too, pretending nobody took them in the building. It's unfortunate that her life has fallen this far regardless of if it was a stunt or not but it's her fault. Adults, rich or not, need to be responsible for their own actions. Intersting stuff, this celeb stuff is such a guilty pleasure for me.
