Dear world,

Britney Spears shaved her head.

Big deal.

Have we become so enamored with these starlets that we have to have a parade of celebrity soothsayers on TV news programs to read the tea leaves on what could possibly be the message behind Britney shaving her head and getting some tattoos? I mean c'mon people, can't you smell a publicity stunt when it happens?

This isn't news, folks; it's the same press-release, tabloid bullshit I've come to expect from televised journalism.

Wake me up when she constructs a monolith out of mashed potatoes. Then I'll start wondering what the message is.
