Britney Spears's Bald Agony

Meanwhile, NYDN reports that "Britney has been tipping off the paparazzi agencies before she heads out for her daily errands,"

"She has been doing it for the past couple of weeks," claims a gossip.

Spears has even managed to work a political message into the coverage, says the source: "She's also been posing for video paparazzi, hence her recent video rant [on X17online.com] against her management."

Separately, a source close to fired manager Larry Rudolph tells NYDN Rudolph has retained an L.A. law firm to draft a suit against her for breach of contract.
