Britney Spears: Live Free or Dye Hard

Apologies to Bruce Willis for the headline. Please don't hurt us.

Britney Spears needs to stop drinking. That much we've gone over at length. But her liver and relationships with those close to her aren't the only things she's destroying.

We all know that Britney Spears has gone through a lot with her hair this past year â€" blonde, brunette, bald â€" but she seemed happy with her new hair extensions of late. But you know what they say, all mediocre things must come to an end.

After scalping herself alive in February, sources report that Britney Spears  attempted to dye her ratty blonde hair herself. It didn't go too well.

According to TMZ, Britney Spears' assistant - who we can only assume to be her cousin, Alli Sims - rushed over to the Epitome Salon in Bel Air around 6:00 p.m., because the pop star spilled black dye all over her face and freaked out.

Sounds like a rather "toxic" situation. Eh? Eh? The salon staff reportedly saved the day and sent Britney's bitch caretaker off with some much-needed dye remover.

Phew. You may now exhale. Tragedy avoided. Well, sort of. There's still the rest of her life, which is a train wreck. But again, we're not talking about that for at least a few hours.

What do you think of Britney Spears' latest hair color and look? Do you like her better as a blonde or with the these dark locks? And what's with the hat?
