Over the weekend, R&B singer Cassie stunned fans by shaving half her head and posting the result on Twitter. She might be irrelevant (anyone still fucking Diddy to advance her career usually is), but the half shaved hair is bitchin' but she look way better with a full head. As the NYDN astutely notes, Cassie coincidentally has a new album coming out. Related? Probably not but most likely so. Celebrities would never pull such an attention grabbing stunts like this to sell their project. Didn't Brit pull the same stunt? Cassandra Ventura aka Cassie said:
I say, you fucking attention whore you. You are still kinda bangable but this is NOT going to make me buy your stupid new album. Now if you show me your tits something might be arranged but until then go away. Click on pictures to enlarge.“Yeah I did it,” the 22-year-old wrote on her Twitter page next to a photo of her partially shaved head. Coincidentally - or not - she just released a new single.
Cassie didn’t exactly explain why she pulled a partial-Britney, but wrote a series of messages on her page: “Sometimes in life, you need a change … Something deeper than what you thought you were capable of … Something that displays the ‘I don’t give a f—’ attitude that was always present, but never showcased … & something that will shock your mother, but make her call you a ROCK STAR.”
Cassie later answered fans’ shocked responses with the message, “I woke up and felt like it!!! Yeeeahhh!!! LOL.”
And here are more pictures of her before she went crazy and cut her hair off.

After high school, she moved to New York City and continued modeling; as well attending classes at the Broadway Dance Center. Meanwhile, music producer Ryan Leslie spotted her at clubs and parties in late 2004 frequently. Shortly after a formal introduction to Ryan Leslie, Cassie became the focus of NextSelection. The two wrote a duet called "Kiss Me" and after recording the track, Next Selection made a management move to play the song for music executive Tommy Mottola. Leslie also co-wrote and produced Cassie's first single, "Me & U". Cassie was introduced to Sean "Diddy" Combs by a make-up artist from one of her modeling assignments which helped her to get a shot at a music career.
Before signing with Bad Boy, Cassie's first single, "Me & U", had already hit the airwaves and was a major hit in dance clubs. On its official release, "Me & U" proved to be a hit song. It reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number four on the Billboard Pop 100. Her follow up single, "Long Way 2 Go" was far less successful, peaking at ninety-seven on the Billboard Hot 100. Cassie's debut album, Cassie, was released on August 8, 2006 and sold 321,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. In contrast to her album sales, Cassie's hit single, "Me & U", sold over 1 million digital downloads. To promote her album, Cassie performed on Total Request Live and 106 & Park: BET's Top 10 Live. Her performances were described as "rocky" and "less-than-stellar", but Diddy said that it was due to her inexperience. He said that he would be "with her through her development", and that he has no "question on her ability [to sing]". Cassie addressed the events on her MySpace page, saying that she is aware that her performances were "pretty bad", and that she was "still getting over stage fright".Following "rocky" live performances, Sean "Diddy" Combs said that he would be working with Cassie to develop her music career. Cassie's second studio album, tentatively titled Electro Love, is scheduled to be released in 2009. The album's buzz single, "Official Girl", featured rapper Lil Wayne. The album's official first single, "Must Be Love", featuring Diddy, was sent to radio in April 2009 with a digital release on April 14th, 2009. www.GutterUncensoredPlus.com
