The lady in question (and I’m not even going to tell you which is which) just shaved her hair for her best friend, who’s going through chemotherapy for breast cancer. She also has a pretty impressive (though augmented) rack, has allegedly dated Kid Rock, and rocks the hell out of red high heels.
Jump in to find out who it is, if I haven’t already given it away!
If you guessed Kellie Pickler, then you’re right!
From E! Online:
The country star shaved her long blond locks off yesterday morning on Good Morning America to show support for her lifelong BFF, Summer Holt Miller, who is undergoing breast cancer treatment. Since her brave, epic haircut, there’s been an outpouring of support for the former American Idol star.
“I cannot thank everyone enough for all the love and support you’ve given Summer,” Kellie tweeted Wednesday night. “Chemo starts tomorrow. #SayAPrayerForSummer”
So sweet and thoughtful, right?
I have heard that a lot of women shave their heads during chemo to raise awareness, or to preempt the trauma of watching their hair fall out. When my mom was diagnosed with cancer, we discussed whether or not she would shave her hair, and if my sister and I would do it as well (solidarity and all that), but my mom refused. She got upset that we would shave our heads, she loved her hair and hated the idea of us looking ‘sick’ too. I’m glad we talked about it, and that she knew we were willing. Funny part is that she didn’t lose her hair. Something like 12% of patients don’t…she was very glad she didn’t ‘jump the gun’.
