Nothing Compares To a Bald Pop Tart

Grammy Award Winner Kelly Clarkson, who is kicking off her NASCAR spokeswoman duties this weekend at Daytona International Speedway, experienced a couple of shocks to her system today.

The first was a close call with her bladder during a ride-along with reigning Nextel Cup Champion Jimmie Johnson:

"I literally almost peed myself. It was scary. I didn't like today. Jimmie did a really good job driving it. I was just really scared. ... I almost got sick. I don't know how they do that over and over and over. I just felt like we were going to crash the whole time. I was probably making him nervous. I didn't scream or anything, so I wasn't that much of a wuss."

She was still reeling from the first jolt when she found out that fellow pop star Britney Spears had shaved her head.

"OK, are y'all kidding? Somebody just told me that out there, and I think that's a joke. She does not have a shaved head. Are you for real?"

No joke.

"Wow. Hey, Sinead O'Connor. Right on. She's bringing it back. She's Britney Spears. She can do whatever she wants. It will end up being cool. Somebody will start shaving their head; everybody will. I find that hard to believe until I see a picture."

Then she saw the picture.
