Born: Wednesday, December 2nd, 1981

Britney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981) is a Grammy Award-winning American pop singer, dancer, actress, author and songwriter.

She is best known for her studio albums, music videos, and songs such as "...Baby One More Time" and "Oops!...I Did It Again". In the early 2000s, Spears's success as a singer led her way to high-profile advertising deals and endorsements, as well as forays into other forms of media, including film and reality television. Her third and fourth albums, Britney and In the Zone, were released during this era. In 2004, she married back-up dancer and aspiring rap artist Kevin Federline, and the following year she gave birth to their first son, Sean Preston. Their second son, Jayden James, was born in 2006. Spears filed for divorce from Federline on November 7, 2006 citing irreconcilable differences.

Spears has sold over seventy-six million albums worldwide according to TIME magazine. The RIAA ranks Spears as the eighth best-selling female artist in American music history having sold 31 million albums.

According to various reports and sources, Britney Spears confided to friends that she shaved her head because her hair was infested with thousands of egg-laying lice.

Spears made this claim only hours before she checked back into a rehab clinic in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago.

A perturbed Britney Spears told friends that she was experiencing a strange itching on her scalp before running out of her first rehab clinic in Antigua. The twenty-five-year-old pop star claimed that the bugs were making her uncomfortable and upset and she therefore had no choice but to shave off her hair.

As she left Los Angeles's Mondrian hotel, Britney Spears repeatedly claimed that she did it to get rid of the lice.

An anonymous source divulged that Britney Spears thought the head lice were eating her hair extensions and therefore decided to get rid of him in great haste.

Jonathan Long, a celebrity hairdresser who sees many high-profile clients in his salon, said Britney Spears' decision to shave her head might not be as crazy as it seemed if the lice claim holds true. He claimed that it is impossible to run a fine-tooth comb through extension hair and the situation probably left little alternative but to shave.

Justin Timberlake also jumps to defend his ex-girlfriend. Justin Timberlake claimed that the head-shaving was actually something of a symbolic act, and he sees it as a way of "starting over and cleaning...up." He admires her for "taking a chance."

Britney Spears had nearly missed her flight to Miami International Airport hours before she cut her hair off. She had allegedly begged airport personnel to let her on a plane upon arriving late, explaining that she had to "get home to [her] kids." She was apparently very distraught.

A ticket agent decided to take pity on her and asked the pilot if he would let Spears board the airplane. He agreed. However, upon arriving back to Los Angeles, her behavior grew increasingly volatile and erratic. After shaving her head bald, she arrived at the Mondrian Hotel on Sunset Boulevard, alone and wearing a blue wig.

She was trying to book a room, but only had a piece of paper carrying a partial credit card number. She did appear to have any money or credit cards. A pair of tourists eventually took her to their room; however, she was later seen trying to hire a rental car and was turned away. The staff was reportedly stunned to see her in such condition.

Spears has experienced an unusually bad round of bad publicity this year, her divorce with Kevin Federline and her abortive attempts at rehab clinics being the two big stories.
