"Each wig is on a shelf; it's like a library," Terence Davidson says. "She's going to have to start paying rent!" When asked to pick which he likes best, Davidson replied: "They're all my favorite." More »

Hair! Fantasy! Extravaganza! Last night's episode revolved around wigs. The contestants had to come up with a classic look, a modern red carpet look, and a fantasy look — including a garment made of hair. If only there had been some kind of crossover with Shear Genius, sigh. Anyway, check out the clip above for locks and ringlets dreams are made of! More »

Just as Toddlers & Tiaras started to get stale—and flippers, baby spray tans, and the concept of glitz began to seem normal—the show pulled out a winner last night by featuring an 83-year-old pageant contestant. More »

On last night's episode, one father likened his five-year-old daughter's pageant look to that of a hooker. Lexi, the hooker "lookalike" (hookalike?), is actually hooked on sugar, and her grandmother is not only an enabler, but her supplier. More »

Kim's prototype for her wig line is ready! She says that she was previously wearing a new $430 wig every day, meaning she spends $151,360 a year on that acrylic mess. We call bullshit. More »

Last night's Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion was all about NeNe and Kim. Shereé stayed relatively quiet, DeShawn barely said three words, and Lisa managed to keep her cool right up until the end when she couldn't take Kim's lying anymore. When Kim was asked about her hair, she turned on the waterworks and told some story about how it's so mean that NeNe made fun of her wig, because she had cancer. Then, when pressed about it, her story changed and she said that she only thought she had cancer and that she was just really sick and her hair fell out. Except that hair only falls out when you go through treatment for cancer, not when you "think" you have cancer. Bravo must renew this show for another season, and fast. Clip above. More »

The New York Times had wigs on the brain today. In addition to an obit for Nina Lawson, who headed the wig department at the Metropolitan Opera for over 30 years, the paper ran a piece on the wig artistry that went into Tina Fey's uncannily realistic Sarah Palin pompadour for Saturday's SNL. Lawson, who got her start braiding horses' tails on her father's Scottish farm, arrived at the Met in 1958 and went on to craft and care for elaborate hairpieces for everyone from Maria Callas to Pavarotti. Her level of skill is manifest when you consider the work that went into the one pseudo-Palin coif, which the designer describes as a “French twist with a ’60s bouffant kind of thing, and bangs." In addition, "It’s darker at the nape of the neck, and shows transitions to a lot of different colors." Whether the SNL team, like Lawson, had to clean every hair of the wig individually with Borax is not addressed. [New York Times] More »

Catherine, one of the more "mature" contestants on Rock of Love 2, hadn't won a date with Bret during the entire competition thus far, so in a last ditch effort to stay in the game on last night's episode, she surprised him with breakfast in bed. Judging by his eyes, and his facial puffiness in general, it seems as though he really was out cold when Catherine brought him his coffee and eggs. Interestingly, he sleeps with his hairpiece and bandanna. Does he shower with them on too? More »

Thanks to Tyra Banks, Mary J. Blige, Halle Berry and Beyoncé, lace-front wigs are all the rage. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, RuPaul is also to blame. (Yeah, sure.) Lace-front wigs are popular because they give the illusion that the hair is growing from the scalp. Although, to be honest, when it comes to Tyra and Gwen Stefani [And John Travolta! -Ed.], we can almost always see the netting on their foreheads. Anyway, the wig is adhered around the hairline, meaning the wearer can part her hair, put it in a ponytail or even go swimming. The cost? Anywhere from $300 to $25,000 — and maybe a little flesh and blood! Because sometimes when the wigs come off, some skin comes with them! More »
