Britney's Shaved Head: One Year Later

The following italicized article is taken from www.people.com:

It's been a bumpy 12 months for Britney Spears, for whom Saturday marks the one-year anniversary of her famously shaving her head.

After the hair-raising incident, the 26-year-old pop star kept her head covered with hats and wigs, including a pink bob that soon became an emblem of her odd behavior.

And, there was more. She became engaged in a very public battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline, lost custody of her two young children, delivered a lackluster performance at the MTV Video Music Awards and suffered a meltdown that resulted in being hospitalized in a psychiatric ward.

But Spears, who has also released a hit song, "Gimme More," and received a barrage of advice about how to turn her life around, also has been toning down the antics since her one-week hospital stay.

Friday Shop-Seeing Spree

Friday she spent some quiet time in the afternoon shopping in West Hollywood, at the boutique of Filipino fashion designer Monique Lhuillier and the Fred Segal and the Betsey Johnson stores. At all of three places she appeared to do more browsing than purchasing.

On the domestic front, her family is caring for the pop star, who sources say has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Father Jamie Spears has been granted a co-conservatorship over his daughter's affairs, while brother Bryan is acting a co-trustee of his sister's revocable trust.

(A Los Angeles County Superior Court commissioner placed Spears under a conservatorship at the beginning of this month. Such conservatorships are established when a court determines an individual cannot take care of herself or her affairs.)

Mother Lynne Spears, who departed Los Angeles earlier this week, had been part of the attempted healing process, spending rare quality time with her daughter – cooking for and shopping with her.

All the while, the famous pink wig remains safely tucked away.
