Although that curious question may be the only thought in the public's mind, or the thought furthest from it, a popular video Web site plans to take this event for what it is and look at it in a different light.
Break.com, an entertainment Website displaying funny and original short-form content, is one of the Web's growing library of videos and images. The site launched a unique contest titled "We Love Britney" on Feb. 22 that will run until March 5.
The contest challenges its viewing audience, primarily of the male demographic, to follow along in Spears' footsteps and shave their heads as well. Contestants, ages 18 years and older, must film the act of shaving their head. The three most popular videos as decided by the user rankings on the site will win $1,500 each.
Keith Richman, CEO of Break.com, optimistically spoke about having hope for Spears in a prior interview.
"We are all rallying around Britney and hope she returns to the pop princess we once knew and loved," he said. "Break.com is asking everyone to give their support as well and show Britney she is not alone by shaving their heads too."
Renae Metzger, senior, was once a proud Britney Spears fan. She thinks the fact that Spears shaved her head was merely an attention-getter.
"If I went out and shaved my head and got a couple tattoos - who cares?," she said. "But another part of me thinks - what the heck did she do that for? I just do not think she has her head on straight and realizes that she is not a teenager anymore."
