25-year-old Britney Spears‘ erratic behavior in recent weeks has left friends fearing she is going through an extraordinary public meltdown.
She was recently famously pictured in Los Angeles on a string of drunken nights out with Paris Hilton while wearing no underwear.
At New Year she collapsed in a Las Vegas nightclub after downing champagne and cocktails — but still continued partying with a string of dancer pals in LA.
Britney checked into an Antigua rehab clinic last Thursday after hitting rock bottom during a four-day booze bender in New York.
But she stayed less than 24 hours before returning to California, where she briefly visited her sons in Malibu. Then Friday she was seen sobbing in her limo for ten minutes before she entered Esther’s Haircutting Studio in Tarzana, California. After hairdressers refused her plea to shave off her dark locks, Britney — whose tear stains were visible on her hooded top — grabbed the clippers and did it herself. Afterwards she looked in the mirror and said with tears in her eyes, “Oh, my God, I shaved it all off. My mom is going to be so upset with me.”
Around 8 pm her car pulled up outside the Body and Soul Tattoo parlor and she rushed inside. With shaved hair all over her top, she ordered staff to etch a set of pink lips on her wrist and a black, white and pink cross on her lower hip.
At about 2 am Saturday morning the troubled singer was briefly spotted at the Cedars Sinai Medical Centre in Beverly Hills — wearing a dark wig. Onlookers said she spoke with staff before entering a private room. Sources said she was with a pal and seemed “disturbed”. But she left after just over an hour and was seen heading home.
Tuesday she voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility in Los Angeles. Apparently family members, including her mom, pressed her to check in.
And all this from a mother of two that is fighting for custody of those children. There was a time not long ago when she was in complete command of great fame and fortune.
Sad. Very sad.
