Britney Spears’ Hair Pulled From E-Bay
The tale of Britney Spears’ head-shaving incidence keeps adding new twists and turns.
The owners of Esther’s Hair Cutting Studio, where Britney shaved her head Friday told E! News that the pop star’s locks were saved and would be sold for a good cause.
“She didn’t want her hair. We have it here at the salon and we will probably auction it off for charity,” said J.T. Tognozzi, who co-owns th Tarzana, California, salon with his wife, Esther.
He told E! that Britney “was accompanied by two bodyguards and knocked on the door around 7 p.m. Friday. Spears had never been to the salon before, and the shop was closed for the night, but Esther Tognozzi says that she immediately recognized the singer and let her in.”
When Britney entered and asked for the buzz cut, Esther “sat her down, looked her over and then suggested less drastic alternatives.”
But, according to Esther, “She was on a mission. She had made up her mind that she was shaving her head before she came in.”
According to E! interviews with Tognozzi, “Spears said she was tired of her hair extensions and wanted to make like Sinead O’Connor. When Tognozzi said she didn’t want to be responsible for shaving Spears’ hair, the singer then asked if she could do the deed herself.”
“She grabbed the shears and just started shaving her head,” J.T. Tognozzi said.
“She wasn’t very talkative, in fact, I kept talking to her about the kids, and I asked about her baby, hoping that I could convince her and talk her out of continuing,” added Esther Tognozzi.
She said that Spears didn’t appear to be under the influence of anything and remained “emotionless” for the most part, “except for when she said, ‘Oh my god, my mom’s going to be so upset,’ and she had tears in her eyes.”
Meanwhile, E! Online reported that Spears spent Saturday afternoon poolside at the Mondrian hotel, wearing a short blonde wig.
Even more recently, Britney’s shaven hair was put up on E-Bay, with an initial bid price of $1 million. Since that time, the AP has reported “various sellers on the online auction site offered not only hair, but clippers that they claimed did the job.”
“One seller claimed to have collected hair with the salon owner, and offered it for sale along with a can energy drink supposedly sipped by the singer.”
The main auction was set to end Tuesday at 5:30 pm, with speculators estimating a final price of up to $100 million!
Since that time, the auctions have been pulled for authenticity reasons. Another avenue for pawning off the locks will surely be sought.

Now, i’m all for being an individual and having an artistic mind-- but I simply don’t see the statement she’s trying to send here. What has gotten into her?

britany is a loser, she’s just craving attention so she shaved her head, she just wants to be liked again. if she could stop messing up, like making out with madonna and shaving her head, mabey people would like her better

Who gives a f@#k ... she is a normal case of a sad person that once had something amazing going for her and then she was stupid and it’s gone now. I never liked her music and I never will. Sinead O’Conner was amazing, Brit will never be that good. Sinead actually had a career while her head was shaved ... hah brit doesnt.

I think that you guys should just leave Brittney the hell alone. She can do what ever she wants with her body. I only see her in the news anymore. You guys wonder why she is stressed out all the time… Maybe because you guys keep f@#king with her when she is out in public. ho gives a rats a$$ why she shaved her head. She can do it if she wants to. I work with a girl that has a shaved head, but I don’t she any reporters all over her. You all are the ones putting Brittney back into Rehab time and time again. STOP!!!!Let her life the way she wants to live it.

you know what.....if u think she is doing it 4 attention then she has succeeded, you’re giving it her arn’t you??? leave the girl alone, yeah she as messed up through her own doing but it doesn’t change the fact she was a talented singer. if she wasn’t she wouldn’t have made it all those years back top of the charts. i dont dislike her or like her, her songs arn’t my type of music and i dont gossip....but for F"@ksake i found this website by accident and came across ur comments and u people are fowl. u have no rite judging her, u dont know her or what she has had to put up with IN HER LIFE. The reason why celebs usually loose it is because of the people she once entertained are bullying her, it’s not right. if u have been bullied in school OR AT ANYTIME IN YOURE LIFE REMEMBER HOW YOU FELT AND multiply that by....wait let me think, THE WORLD, how would that make u feel! youre a bunch of “OBNOXIOUS BULLIES”!....WELCOME TO YOURE HEAD LINE!!!!!!

Britney is an insane person. Why would she do that???? It’s for attention.
Posted by on 02/24 at 06:13 PM
WOW.....she is so ugly..she needs to get a life!
Posted by on 02/24 at 08:16 PM
we think that everyone should just leave her alone, its making her go crazy, she’d probably get better if the press and everyone else would get off her a$$ every second of the day. you would do the same thing whether you believe it or not. put yourself in her shoes for one second and take a different perspective from your one sided thinking. and she’s not ugly.
Posted by on 02/25 at 03:51 AM
