Celebrity Hair for Sale

Britney Spears made headlines around the world again last week, in the latest twist in a long period of bizarre and troubling behaviour. Since she filed for divorce from Kevin Federline last November, her wild antics have been cause for concern and she has been regularly photographed looking considerably worse for wear during wild nights on the town with heiress Paris Hilton.

Having vowed to reform in the New Year, it seems her resolution was to be short-lived. She turned up in a confused state at a Los Angeles hair salon last week and demanded that her head be shaved. Although this request was refused, she apparently grabbed the clippers and shaved her head herself, with appalled fans watching through the window.

The owner of the salon is now hoping to sell Britney's celebrity hair for a high price. The hair was initially for sale with on-line auction house, eBay, but has since been withdrawn. However, a search on eBay for "Britney Spears hair" turns up some very strange offerings, with some clumps of hair not even close to the Britney's true colour!

Who-ever would have guessed that clumps of celebrity hair could have caused front-page headlines around the world!
