EXCLUSIVE: Britney Spears Has Entered Rehab
Britney Spears entered rehab Tuesday after a bizarre weekend that included shaving her head and getting a new tattoo.
Spears’ manager, Larry Rudolph, told People magazine’s Web site that Spears, 25, had voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed treatment facility.
“We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time,” Rudolph was quoted as saying.
Calls to Spears’ representatives by The Associated Press weren’t returned Tuesday.
Since she announced her separation from Kevin Federline in November, Spears, the mother of two young sons, has been seen partying heavily, and her appearance has been increasingly sloppy.
On Friday night, Spears grabbed an electrical shaver at a San Fernando Valley salon and shaved her head completely bald.
Video on KABC-TV showed a newly shorn Spears with tiny tattoos on the back of her neck as she sat for a new tattoo — a pair of red-and-pink lips on her wrist.
Entertainment TV shows and Web sites reported Friday that she had gone in and out of rehab that week.
Esther’s Haircutting Studio, where Spears shaved her head, set up a Web site to auction off her hair and other items for a minimum price of $1 million, J.T. Tognozzi, who owns the salon with his wife, told the AP on Tuesday.
“This is it, the opportunity of a lifetime,” according to BuyBritneysHair.com. The winning bidder gets Spears’ dark, knotty hair extensions, the clipper she used to cut them off, the Red Bull she drank at the salon and her cigarette lighter.
Tognozzi said he’d placed the items for sale on the eBay auction Web site, which later took them down, for reasons unknown to him.
