Could Britney Spears have cut her hair to avoid a drug test?
Slate Magazine: "Rumor has it that Britney Spears may have shaved off all her hair last weekend to avoid having it drug tested during her child custody battle with Kevin Federline. How much can you learn by testing someone's hair?"

Britney has one huge downfall. I remember years ago when her cd's were on the Christmas lists of 5th grade girls everywhere. Now, parents don't want their children to associate with her. The shaved heard thing is just so bizarre. It seems like quick thinking on her part but overall...eww
Holy Cow! Now that is a theory! Here I thought she was just doing this in an attempt to regain her waning spotlight action... o_O
On another note... hair tests are great for testing metal poisoning too... I saw a crime TV show where they ended up going from what they thought was just a sick woman to a women who was clearly being poisoned... and it didn't take long to figure out it was her husband... All the other tests came up negative but when they had slight suspicion they tested her hair... and low and behold!
nothing to do with theatre....but crazy just the same...who knew? hair testing...its sounds likea ridiculous idea but then i guess if you think about its defiately an acurate way to approach drug use...people also cant fake it as easily because the person conducting the test is the one cutting the hair...weird...
Actually, drug testing has quite a bit to do with theatre - depending on where you work.
These days many people want to go work for Cirque in Vegas. To get those jobs you have to get a sheriff's card and that application involves a hair test.
Well, can't they do blood or urine test anyways? I'm sure she can't get rid of all of her blood or urines..
I actually could believe the validity this theory. Britney would die to avoid tabloid talking about her drug addiction after her one day trip to alcohol rehap as a mother of two. Then she would lose her custody, which would not necessarily be the better choice for the children...
Moral of the story: stay away from the crazy bald lady.
Ohhhh Britney... how the mighty have fallen.
It's interesting to look at her in relation to JT and Christina Aguilera. Their careers have taken a normal, easy path, while hers has just crashed and burned... and she really has no one to blame but herself. She will definitely be remembered, though. Maybe that's what she was going for.
Despite the obvious concern in our field, I really can't help but be confused when reading articles like these on the front page. It doesn't make sense to me why anyone really cares what Britney Spears does or any other celebrity for that matter. I mean if you really want to dig into someone's personal life why don't you find out what George Bush is doing right now while everyone's older brother is in Iraq. I hope he's not playing Duck Hunt.
Oh my god. This is ridiculous. The fact that the salon is auctioning off her hair is utterly disgusting. Says a lot about our society right there, geeze. What I am wondering is that if Brittany really did cut her hair to avoid testing, where did she find out about such testing. I don't see her as the type who would think this up on her own. I just hope that Kevin gets custody, because Brittany is obviously not in any condition to be raising a child.
After reading the article I at first thought there was no relevancy to anything however after talking about it with some friends in my class and being informed about the reality of drug testing it makes a lot of sense and also sheds some light onto the subject of why members of the art community go through such drastic changes in terms of length of hair.
