So Britney Spears shaved her head. CNN couldn't get enough of it, and of course, neither could the folks at ONTD.

Then jrexasaurus chimes in with this news: "I spoke with my relative who works at CSMS. Apparently Britney was checked in late last night by an older male and was diagnosed with something called 'Amphetamine psychosis'."

This is all dishy and good, but y'know, there's this little law in the US that goes by the acronym HIPAA, which spells out a lot of things about disclosing medical information. As in, don't.

Various posters weigh in on the subject. There's bonus sockpuppeting accusations. And oh gods, it'll take someone with a lot more patience than I have to wade through the rest.

ETA: Alas, the HIPAA wank post has been bahleeted. Meanwhile, however, a mouse in the comments has provided a link to ONTD's full photodocumentary of the head-shaving and the 105 pages of comments, plus a C&P of jrexasaurus's possibly sublegal dish. Warning: NSFW user icon.
