Your Photoshopped Britney Shears

Thanks to everyone who participated in our Good News For People Who Love Bald News Photoshopalooza. We all know why Britney Spears shaved her head (she was "really, really, really bored", obvs). But we don't yet know how she's gonna accessorize it! Yes, we acknowledge we're kicking her when she's down (down = third rehab stint in a week), but let's consider it punishment for inflicting Kevin Federline on the world.

Photoshop speaks louder than words, and tons of you answered our call to make art out of Britney 2.0. Many of you had the same ideas (we picked the one best executed). Many of you didn't follow the guidelines or missed the deadline. One of you even entered this contest two years too late.

Out of all the eligible submissions, we painstakingly decided on the Top 20. View 'em after the jump. Then help us pick the grand prize winner by identifying your favorite entry in the comments. Remember, there is an unopened Kevin Federline CD (future collector's item) up for grabs here, so vote early and often! But not often, just once is fine.

Meh, I sorta like the "12 steps" one, but there were just too many backward tattoo concepts. They are all kind of the same joke, you know.

The Blue Man Group one is very professional, but BMG is so 5 years ago.

So what's the worst one?

The movie ones are pretty bad. The devil one? What movie is that? Is it Pan's Labyrinth? Cause I haven't seen it, and most of us haven't. And the one with the knife and gun? Is that GI Jane or Predator?

"Buy Diapers" is pretty lame too.

I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.
