Britney Spears Emotional Melt Down

Britney Spears is "on the verge of a nervous breakdown" goes on the town for a body altering experience in front of waiting paparazzi photographers, a sure cry for help.

The singer and mother of two stunned fans and paparazzi photographers when she walked into a hairdressing salon in Los Angeles and asked a stylist to cut all her hair off.

When the hairdresser refused, Spears grabbed some clippers, and can be seen in snaps shearing herself bald.

The salon claims to have the only authentic Britney locks, and says it will donate some of the proceeds of the eBay sale to charity.

The New York Daily News says the salon where the star chopped off all her hair is also flogging leftover drink and a lighter left behind by the singer.

The 25-year-old was then followed as she drove to a tattoo parlour and had two images etched, a pair of bright red lips on her wrist and a black, white and pink cross on her lower hip.

Tattooist Emily Wynne-Hughes, who was in the shop, now fears the drastic new look is a stark warning of Spears' emotional instability.

She says: "After (Britney) left, we said to each other: 'We just saw a huge celebrity on the verge of a nervous breakdown.'

"She seemed really distraught and disturbed. She was very scatterbrained. It was crazy, very surreal. She's definitely crying out."
