2008 Woodie Awards
Media Darling: Britney: Off her rocker

I can't name any of the stars from "The O.C." I confused hot and hunky Slater with obnoxious goofball Screech, probably due to the fact that I've never actually seen an episode of "Saved By The Bell." I had to be taught the difference between the Academy Awards and the Oscars - apparently, there isn't one.
Let's face it, I'm not exactly a pop-culture guru.
Despite the fact that my head is basically devoid of even the most commonplace media knowledge, I have managed to pick up on a new Mr. Clean look-alike showing her face on TV screens, Web sites and magazine covers everywhere.
No, it's not a new ad campaign for a better toilet cleaner. It's the former object of men's lusty fantasies, the girl that made pink fuzzy pigtails sexy, one of the most famous bodies ever to be decorated with rhinestones - yes, it's Ms. Britney Spears herself.
In a gutsy move that caught the attention of pop-culture fanatics and amateurs alike, Spears forced the owner of a closed mom-and-pop salon to reopen just for her, then held an electric razor hostage and used it, against its will, to add the finishing touches to what has been a steady decrease in atractiveness over the past few years.
The pop star decided to shave her head because she was sick of people touching her and wanted the media to leave her alone for once. She is calling this time her "rocky period" and says she "knows what she needs to do" - this includes checking herself in and out of rehab as if she has an all-week pass to an amusement park.
Apparently, Spears didn't think this one through too well. Sure if she's bald she won't have stylists pulling at her natural hair - they'll just be giving her wigs and touching those instead.
Oh, and whether you're a multi-million dollar media icon or not, a bald girl always turns heads - lots of them.
Spears was seen a few days after her flip-out at The Roxy, a swanky Hollywood club, sporting a "Stepford Wives" style blonde wig and big aviator sunglasses, which she wore inside the club most of the night.
