The joys of stardom


Britney shaved her head. Finally a woman who is willing to go all the way! We were aware that she shaved her armpits and her legs. It has been revealed recently that she shaves her pubic region, so why not complete the picture and go hairless. It only stands to reason. You go girl. But wait! I still see eyebrows! What are you waiting for!

Why did she do it? Who knows. The gossip columns are insane with speculation. One theory is that she is having a breakdown.

Personally I don't know why anyone would want to be a star. As a celebrity, going out in public is insane. As a culture we are hungry to know as much as we can know and see about our stars. And where there is desire or obsession, there is money to be made. A star can't go out in public without every detail of their observable self being noticed. And if Britney is having a breakdown, she can't even break down privately.

Fame is overrated. Shaving my head would only bring a shocked expression from some, amusement from others, and only passing looks from the masses. Obscurity really doesn't look that bad from my vantage point.
