Britney's Hair For Sale: Crass Exploitation?

Yesterday Dark And Bright reported on Britney Spear's shocking new look and out-of-control behaviour, and it seems that the singer's fragility is already being exploited.

The owner of the salon where Britney Spears shaved off her hair is selling the singer's locks for more than £500,000.

Esther Tognozzi has set up a special website for the sale and is throwing in Britney's abandoned drinks can and cigarette lighter.

Her husband, JT Tognozzi, said some of the proceeds from the sale would go to charity,
including one which supplies wigs to children with cancer, which is rather ironic, as Britney was pictured last night in a nightclub wearing a cheap-looking blonde hairpiece to cover up her shorn scalp.Apparently she stormed out of the club after the DJ played her single Hit Me Baby One More Time.Stressy much?

He also said "We still don't know why Britney chose our shop.We'll probably never know" which seems rather a stupid thing to say.Maybe because she just happened to be there at the time? Maybe because it was near the tattoo parlour she was visiting? It's not as if he was questioning why she shot herself, just why she went to their hairdressers, which hardly seems important.

A search on eBay for "Britney Spears hair" reveals dozens of supposed clumps of the popstar's tresses - some of it not even the right colour! In reference to the frauds,Mr Tognozzi said "It's pretty crazy all the frauds and stuff that's out there, They're not even in our state."

Dr Linda Papadopoulos, a psychologist who has given professional advice on Big Brother, believes that Britney may be suffering from post-natal depression,but that the singer might also be trying to make a statement along the lines of "'I've had this blonde pop princess imposed on me. You guys need to take heed now. I'm more than that, I'm different than that'."
