Spears, who has sold over $150 million in records throughout her career, has faced a series of personal problems during her stardom.
As some of you know, the “Princess of Pop, shaved her head in 2007, but a New York Post provided a report on the reason why she made the bizarre move:
Britney Spears didn’t shave her head in a fit of rage — she did it so there would be no way to trace her drug use, a lawyer for her former manager claimed in court.
Joseph Schleimer opened Sam Lutfi’s libel case against Spears’ parents and conservators by showing dramatic photos of the pop superstar with a shaved head and striking an SUV with an umbrella.
Schleimer suggested to the LA jury that Spears was afraid a judge would order a test of her hair.
If drugs were found, the judge could take away her two sons and give custody to ex-husband Kevin Federline.
