From pop sensation, to tabloid obsession, Britney Spears, 24, has shocked the public with her recent outrageous behavior.

Scandals regarding her health and a child custody dispute with ex-husband, Kevin Federline, have brought her a great deal of attention.

Last week, Spears shaved her head bald and went a tattoo parlor, where she got a tattoo of red and pink lips on her wrist.

Shortly after she checked into the Promises Malibu Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Center, which specializes in treatment of drug and alcohol abuse.

"Britney is definitely abusing drugs; she needs to go to rehabilitation for a long period of time to get better," said Julia Clark, sophomore, West Hempstead N.Y. "If Federline is suited to, I think he should take the kids while Britney gets better."

It is hard to believe that Spears went from being such a positive media figure to having so many personal issues being revealed.

"I think Britney Spears is going through a crisis right now because she just lost her husband and people are viewing her in a different image than little miss pop princess," said Kelly Simpson, freshman, Wappingers Falls, N.Y. "I don't think she can handle the bad publicity she is getting due to her negative actions like going out with Paris Hilton and almost dropping her baby. Before this she was always something positive in the spot light."

The Grammy Award winning pop singer has been living in the public eye for years, but it's hard to say whether Spears will ever be able to return to her previous successful career after so much personal controversy. And her family is in shambles.

"Right now Kevin Federline is looking like a better parent for the kids so he will probably wind up with them," said, Madeline Cox, sophomore, Monroe.

"Hopefully the negative tabloids have made her realize how much of a fool she's making of herself," said Alexis Sorrentino, junior, New Haven. "I don't think she will get her music career back unless she makes a complete transformation. I think people have such bad views of her now that it would take a lot to change their minds and make her someone that people look up to again."

Spears has certainly given the public something to talk about, it is unclear what she has in store for her audience in the future.
