The rumor mills have been spinning out of control since Britney Spears spent 24 hours in a rehab clinic and then shaved off all her hair. Spears checked herself back into rehab yesterday, this time at the Promises Residential Treatment Center, but has already checked out this morning.
The UK's "The Daily Mail" is reporting that a reliable source claims Spears shaved her head because of concerns that she had lice. So why the frequent trips to rehab? Well, this morning on "The Adam Carolla Show," Danny Bonaduce made a comment regarding drug testing and hair samples.
"If drug tests [with urine samples]are like a road map you can unfold and look at while you're driving, hair is like GPS."
After a little research (although I consider Bonaduce a leading expert in all things relating to drugs or alcohol) it turns out there is some truth to that analogy (metaphor?). Iterestingly enough, hair follicle testing can go back 6 months or longer and show any controlled substance used in a sort of timeline. Consequently, the longer the hair, the further back in time a lab can look.
Could the former mega-pop star have shaved her head to avoid positive test results? I'd like to see William of Ockham figure this one out.
*Update* Britney flipped out on some photogapher last night in a fit of rage. Photos can be seen at x17online.com (but the video footage can be seen here!)
