Britney "Shears"

Derrik Snell, who works at the tattoo parlour, said Spears showed up without notice and stayed for about 90 minutes as about 60 fans, photographers and gawkers gathered outside. "She seemed fine," Snell said. "I didn't really notice [the hairdo] at first, she had a hood on when she showed up."
Before heading to the tattoo parlour, Spears grabbed an electric clipper and shaved her own head at a San Fernando Valley.

"I tried to talk her out of it. I said: 'Are you sure you're not having a bad day and tomorrow you'll feel differently about it? Why don't we wait a little bit?"' salon owner Esther Tognozzi said. "She said: 'No, I absolutely want it shaved off now.' Next thing I know, she grabbed the buzzer and she went to the back of my salon and she was shaving off her own hair," Tognozzi said.

The appearance came the same day as reports on TV and web sites that Spears, who has drawn criticism for her recent partying and sloppy behaviour, had briefly checked into rehab. Larry Rudolph, Spears' manager, couldn't be reached for comment. Syndicated entertainment TV show "Extra" first reported that Spears had entered a treatment facility. Celebrity web site TMZ.com then said the singer had entered a treatment centre but had checked out one day later. Neither revealed their sources.
