Tim Hardaway's Off the Hook - Britney Goes Bald!

Remember last week how John Amaechi's 'I'm Gay!' revelation was upstaged two days later by the tragic death of Anna Nicole Smith? Same deal for Tim "I hate gay people!" Hardaway.

A national whipping boy for the last 48 hours, Hardaway's in the clear as early this morning. That's because former pop princess Britney Spears decided to go bat-poop crazy and shave her head and get some fresh ink. The Sinead O'Connor look isn't very becoming of her.

Don't think this is a big deal? It's on the front page of CNN, lead multiple newscasts on the West Coast last night, and Vegas - they're calling it 'Black Christmas' - is already buzzing about it even though the strip clubs are probably just emptying out as I type this.

2:1 says Hardaway sends Spears a belated Valentine's Day card.

Jason Kidd, you ask? No. Probably not. Bedding reporters and strippers? Far too juicy to just disappear because some pop tart shaved her head.
