No, you weren't imagining things on Saturday night: At least one local TV station, and possibly more, led their 11 p.m. newscast with live team coverage of... Britney Spears going bald.
Suddenly, the 24/7 frenzy over Anna Nicole seems OK. At least there you've got a mysterious death (actually, several mysterious deaths), a custody battle, millions of dollars and more.
Here, a washed-up pop singer decided to grab a pair of shears and buzz her locks off. Film at 11.
I know, it's cliche at this point to complain about the merging of news and entertainment. But I'm not sure this is either news or entertainment. And if it is, it certainly shouldn't lead a newscast, even on the slowest night of the year (which Saturday wasn't).
But hey, what's the deal with the crazy washed-up pop star and her bald head?
