As even the highest-altitude Tibetan monks with access to WiFi know by now, on Friday night, Britney Spears finally succumbed to the relentless voices in her head telling her, "We can't hear anything with all this hair on top of us! Get rid of it, please!" Moments later, a tidal gust of Santa Ana winds swept through the now famous salon and carried the shavings to the far corners of the globe, where entrepreneurial spirits lucky enough to be visited by one of her locks instantly took to the World Wide Webs to capitalize on their good fortune. Be warned, however, that eBay is a grifters' playground; we leave you to sort out the authentic strands from the impostors with access to a head of fried brown hair and a pair of scissors, keeping in mind J.T. Tognozzi, husband-to-the-Tarzana-hairstylist-stars, has already warned the LAT that any such offering comes from "scam artists." He claims the genuine article is in safe keeping, where they plan to "sell the shorn hair on EBay, give it to a charitable organization," or possibly donate it as the centerpiece exhibit of the Britney Spears Nervous Breakdown Museum, breaking ground in Kentwood, LA sometime in 2009.
