Britney Spears checks out of rehab after one day

Britney Spears has reportedly checked out of a Malibu rehab clinic after one day, and a salon is selling her shaved hair online with claimed charity proceeds.

According to reports Britney Spears has checked out of rehab, just one day after checking in. Again. The clinic in Malibu where she was rumoured to be rehabbing had no comment and would not confirm either that she had been there or that she had left.

There's also no news yet on what kind of crazy high jinks she might subsequently have got up to, but there's been a whole lot of chat amongst the gossipers about her hair, or lack of it. There's a whole website now devoted to selling off her locks - http://www.buybritneyshair.com. It's been set up by the salon where the singer got her head shaved, and they claim that a portion of the money they raise from the sale (they're expecting $1million or thereabouts) will go to charity. A spokeswoman told the BBC: "We have received many offers and we are currently in the process of separating the real ones from the bogus ones".

There's also been more speculation as to why Britney decided on the drastic change of image, with sources claiming that estranged husband Kevin Federline has threatened to get strands of her hair tested for drugs in order to mount a custody battle for their two children. The other suggestion, reported in the Mirror, is that Spears thought that "lice were eating her hair extensions, so decided to get rid of them as soon as possible."

Which sounds like the crazy paranoia of a person on drugs. Oh.
