Kellie Pickler Shaves Her Head

September 05, 2012

No, Kellie Pickler hasn't pulled a "Britney," the decision to shave her head actually began in her heart.

In a beautiful show of solidarity, the 100 Proof singer buzzed off her locks after her best friend, Summer Miller, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Prior to embarking on her chemotherapy treatment, Pickler and Miller simultaneously shaved their heads to bring awareness to the importance of early detection and documented the whole process (video aired on GMA today).

"Cancer does not discriminate," Pickler says. "If this compels even one person to change their mentality toward waiting until the age of 40 for their mammogram, then it will be worth it," Miller, 36, concurred.

Pickler also paired with Athena Water, which will make a monetary donation to the American Cancer Society in Miller's honor. Additionally, Athena will contribute a minimum of $2 million to support breast cancer awareness, care, education and research by 2014.

Aww that is really sweet and supportive. It's a great way to increase awareness for such a good cause

Yeah it really is, it definitely draws attention to it. And it's quite a bold move from someone working in the entertainment business where looks matter a lot.

Here's another pretty picture of her:

And Kellie on Ellen, this is pretty funny.

(I couldn't find the actual interview on YT.)

***dancing in the rain*** · 09-18-2012, 03:30 PM

She looks absolutely gorgeous in that pic

That bit on Ellen is hilarious! "Oh great, I'm gonna look like a dog ... Geez Louis ... What is the HELL!"

Ellen is horrible with shaving ... "EV"

Yeah exactly. It shows how passionate she is about this and I think that's really great.

Kellie's commentary was so funny, Ellen really wasn't good at the shaving thing.

I agree. And it shows real dedication to her friend which I'm sure anyone of us would be grateful to have in a situation like that.

***dancing in the rain*** · 09-24-2012, 12:56 PM

Yeah exactly, it's really amazing how much of a good friend she is by doing that to support her and it's great that she's part of the general campaign to help people become aware of it.

I was laughing the whole time Ellen was shaving her head

Cereal Killer · 09-30-2012, 09:04 PM

Yeah, it's quite admirable of her.

I was laughing too, Ellen's hilarious.

Kellie having a live chat with Anderson Cooper:

Anderson Live After Show: Kellie Pickler - Spreecast

And here's she talking about the haircut on the show:

(Apparently she co-hosted the show but the video system is so fancy it refuses to give me a simple link I could post here.

Because Sarah mentioned Kellie on DWTS.

She won it, here's her final dance:

Amazing dance!

***dancing in the rain*** · 05-22-2013, 04:51 PM

Gorgeous dance

It definitely worked as they'd hoped, they were so good! Congrats to Kellie, it seemed she and her partner were super talented!

sarah598 · 05-22-2013, 07:44 PM

Congrats to Kellie! Beautiful dance

Such a nice reaction from the crowd and judges.

Cereal Killer · 05-22-2013, 07:50 PM

Yeah, it was totally gorgeous.

I love how moved the judges and the crowd were (I think I saw that friend of hers who has/had cancer). Well deserved win, congrats Kellie!

***dancing in the rain*** · 05-23-2013, 03:21 AM

Yeah I loved how the first judge was so emotional she could barely get her critique out and the rest gave them a standing ovation (which I'm sure still means something in the non-AI world

) Now I wish I'd watched the season

I might check some of their other performances on YT.
