What Is The Reason Behind Britney Spears' Bald Head?

The Gallery of The Absurd seems to think it's about attention. Yet some readers found the act of Britney Spears shaving her head as a way to shed her past image. I think the best quote I read from the comments on the original post compared Britney to a "phoenix rising". Rosie O'Donnell had something to say about the whole thing:
------------
brittney shaved her hair
out out damn spot
in the movie in my mind
she says yes
help me
and i do
somehow
we both connect - get through
she is saved
somehow so am i
the bottom for a celebrity
has too much cushion
money buys detachment
no responsibility
many moms -
of kids in ur sons class
want to shave their hair off
and get a tattoo
they dont because they cant
noone is there 2 watch the kids
what would the neighbors say
plus
the pta meeting
would be humiliating
on many levels
real life
can save u
sometimes
u have to - no choice
super rich 24 yr olds
who have spent half their lives
in the FAMOUS-SPHERE
mary kate and ashley
miss britt
same same same
i want them to come live with us
somehow
thinking there is healing here
it worked for me
u can carve out something real
there in pretend-ville
real life awaits
as perspective shifts
compassion aids healing
--------
A clinical psychologist who specializes in feminine psychological development actually emailed me to weigh in on her interpretation of the event. Here is what Sandra Burke had to say:

While it may appear that the shaving of her head is a crazy act, it is the beginning of her finding a truer and more authentic expression of herself. She is shaving away the culture's idea of beauty, determined to find her own. It is a rare and courageous step.

She seems to be having a break and doing drugs is making the situation worse. Her mother needs to have her committed before she does something even more irrational. I worry for her kids and her little dog(s).

Has anyone considered that Britney might have Borderline Personality Disorder or Bipolar Disorder? Her manic, self-destructive, impulsive, reckless, and self-medicatig behaviors are classic symptoms of these disorders. While some might argue that she has post-partum depression, her behavior and moods are more hypomanic than depressive. This would also account for her poor decision making. I have worked in the mental health field for years and have seen this type of troubling behavior a hundred times. I also think she is at a disadvantage because of her celebrity status and wealth. While she craves a certain amount of public attention, this is a little lost girl who was thrust in the limelight at a very early age and who has been learning the hard way how fickle success and happiness can be. Hopefully, she can get the care and rehabilitation she needs before she completely self-destructs. If she will face her problems head-on and learn to love herself for her core self, she may be able to make a complete turn-around and become a better person and mother in the process.

i agree with shea.....she just wants attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with her money...she could have had the tattoo artist come to her and do what he did, and she sure as hell could have shaved her head in the comforts of her own home...why put on a show like this if she is "so called tired of everyone bothering her" ???

me (not verified)me (not verified) said:

i think britany is just doing this so more peole will listin abd pay attention to her. i think she made a really stupid choice in shaving her head. and i agree with some of these other comments, she should get help so if this is a crazy person thing she can get some help before she ends up doing something and hurting herself and her kids. but i also think that people should just leave her alone she did it and nows its over with leave her alone.

well that is what i think about her shaving her head.
