Pop singer Britney Spears has entered rehab, days after shaving off all her hair.

The singer's manager Larry Rudolph confirmed the news to People magazine, saying: "Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility today."

"We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time," he said.

Although her manager did not disclose the location of the rehab centre, other US media reports have claimed that Spears is being treated in Malibu.

It was reported last week that the singer checked in to Eric Clapton's Crossroads Centre in Antigua but left after just 24 hours.

She then went to Esther's Hair Salon in Tarzana, California and shaved off all her hair herself. Later in the same day she got two new tattoos.

Yesterday, Spears' hair was offered for sale on the Internet, with $1m being listed as the minimum bid.
