Spears' Hairy Situation at the VMAs

Just when you thought Britney Spears' hair situation couldn’t get any worse after her disastrous head shaving, I hear things got just as ugly right before her MTV VMAs performance yesterday.

An insider tells me that shortly before Spears was to go onstage at the Palms Hotel & Casino's Pearl Theater, she had some sort of disagreement with her hairstylist.

And, I’m told, said hair guru quit on the spot. But before leaving, my source reports, the disgruntled stylist cut up all of the extensions Spears was planning on wearing for her big number.

Meanwhile, I also hear that Britney, at one point during the days leading up to the awards, threw a fit because her name wasn't on the marquee at the Palms. She calmed down once it was added.

Reps for MTV and Spears’ music label could not be reached.
