If women can wear weave, why can’t men wear spray on hair?
The spray on hair fad has been made more popular by celebrities such as rapper Flo Rida and Chicago Bulls star Carlos Boozer. Boozer rocked his spray on hair during a recent televised basketball game.
There is an entire line of spray on hair that is dedicated to bald men or men with receding hairlines who want to look young again.
Barbers have used spray on hair dye to spruce up their clients’ heads for years. Spray on hair is big business on Amazon.com where a bottle of Hair Color Thickener sells for just $7.37. That’s cheaper than hair plugs or hair pieces.
The spray on hair craze is fueled by vanity, or the growing obsession with our own self-image. So if women can wear weave to bolster their self-image, why can’t men wear spray on hair to improve theirs?

Nas pays up, but NJ father and son remain captives in Angola
The ordeal of a NJ concert promoter and his son being held captive in Angola is far from over.
The NY Daily News reports that concert promoter Patrick Allocco, 51, and his son Patrick, 22, of Morristown, NJ, are still being held against their will in a seedy motel “in a nightmarish dispute with a furious Angolan promoter and his gun-toting henchmen.”
According to the paper, Nas, along with budding female rapper Jemiah Jai, reportedly pocketed $315,000 in advance — but never boarded a plane to perform New Year’s shows in Luanda, the Angolan capital.
“That they’re being held for something that somebody else did is preposterous,” said worried wife and mother Abby Allocco.
The moment the Allocco’s discovered that Nas was not coming to Angola on New Year’s they attempted to flee, but their driver stopped at a store, claiming he had to meet someone. Fearing they were being set up, the father and son jumped out of the taxi but they were quickly surrounded by armed thugs toting AK-47s on the orders of Angolan promoter Henrique Miguel.
Obama’s $25B Bank Deal May Result in Banks Seizing Homes
President Obama gave homeowners some hope when he announced a one year moratorium on home foreclosures while he negotiated with the greedy bankers late last year.
But yesterdays announcement of a new $25 billion dollar settlement with the banks over fraudulent home foreclosures may result in homeowners losing their homes immediately.
Come on, did you really think President Obama was going to bail out homeowners the way he bailed out the bankers?
According to Bloomberg.com, the new settlement will result in an increase in home seizures that will inflict “short-term pain on delinquent U.S. borrowers while making a long-term housing recovery more likely.”
“With yesterday’s agreement,” Bloomberg notes, “banks are likely to resume property seizures.”
Report: Jay Z Earned $63 Million, Donated $6,000 to Charity
About 90% of celebrities are narcissists or they have narcissistic tendencies. They believe they are special and that they are entitled to special treatment.
These celebs cloak themselves inside a warm cocoon where they believe they are untouchable. Celebrities and their reps realize that the media is not as gullible as the general public, so they ingratiate themselves to the media (and to certain blogs). They give certain members of the media (and certain bloggers) exclusive access into their world in return for favorable press. This sort of treatment is otherwise known as kissing azz.
When a celebrity grovels before the national media as much as Jay Z does, he or she doesn’t expect the media to turn on them and expose their failings.
This is precisely what happened to Jay Z today — one day after his so-called “historic” performance at Carnegie Hall in NY. The hard working sleuths at The Daily have uncovered shady financial dealings by Jay Z.
The tide has shifted. Who didn’t see this coming after Beyonce played the media with her sham of a pregnancy?

BET Takes a Stand Against Coonery; Bans Nicki Minaj video
Last night, while watching a rerun of the popular hit sitcom ‘Girlfriends,’ I was surprised to see words such as “bitch” and “damn” were censored by the cable network. 10 years ago, when ‘Girlfriends‘ was a hit, profanity on the show was the norm. I thought it would only get worse over the years as morality continued its decline in America.
But today, cable networks are taking a stand against indecency, and gossip blog TMZ.com reports that BET has banned the woefully misogynistic music video “Stupid Hoe” by misguided rapper Nicki Minaj.
Why the sudden shift in morality by BET and other cable networks after all these years?
From TMZ:
We spoke with a rep for BET who wouldn’t specify exactly why the network has banned the video — simply saying BET will not be broadcasting it.
But sources at the company tell us, the ban was put in place because the video’s just too explicit for TV.
The song lyrics alone are bad enough — repeating the phrase “stupid h*e” dozens of times — but the video itself is damn raunchy too, showing several nearly naked female figures. Normally this is where we’d post the video … but in this case, just Google it.
It’s pretty great — especially if you like Nicki’s butt in a thong.
BLOODBATH: Simon Cowell Fires Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger and Steve Jones from X-Factor
Quick: who won the 2011 US X-Factor?
I watched bits and pieces of the woefully boring US X-Factor reality show, and the worst part of the show were the judges. A judge is supposed to remain neutral and unbiased. How can a judge make an unbiased decision when he or she is emotionally involved to the point of breaking down in tears?
The glaring flaws of the judge’s panel drew widespread criticism from the media – especially after Nicole Scherzinger’s fake sobbing during the Top 5 performances show in December. In fact, Nicole’s “performance” was so bad that enraged viewers slammed her on Twitter.com, and even threatened her life.
Judge Paula Abdul was universally hated for telling Scherzinger to let the public make the decision whether to send 13-year-old Rachel Crow home.
It was clear that something had to be done about the celebrity judges.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Simon Cowell has fired judges Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger and the horrible suck-up Steve Jones.
Recording exec LA Reid’s job might also be on the chopping block. THR reports that “a source close to LA Reid says the fourth member of the X Factor panel has not been informed of any change to his status as judge.”
