Celebs who wear a hairpiece that’s so convincing that they still haven’t been outed for it

Let me tell you about Deb Messing.

If it's so good nobody can tell, why does it even MATTER unless you're an insecure bitchy queen who lives by putting everyone else down?

Bill Maher. He's balder than his small hairpiece lets on. Most professional hair pieces are fairly small and make someone look less bald than they are, as opposed to wigs and awful hairpieces.

The worst hairpieces are worn by politicians and political commenters.

Rose: Of course, Dorothy. After 38 years, there are always bound to be some memories that stay with you.

Dorothy: I wasn't talking about memories. I was talking about this.

Chris Evans.

Fergie

Ru Paul

Angelina Jolie wears wigs, her decades long anorexia made half of her hair fall out.

Naomi Campbell's front hair is gone from all the weaves.

Whitney Houston

RDJ

Johnny Depp

Brad Pitt

Jane Fonda is completely bald. She has great wigs except for that stripper whore ponytail she wore to the Emmys.

Jolie is definitely balding

Tyler Christopher on DOOL

How do you know that, R9?

Naomi's really bad traction alopecia.

Sylvester Stallone has really thick hair for a 70-year-old.

I used to wonder about Gary Sinise when he had that TV series - his hair looked a bit fake to me. There are people who are sure that Howard Stern wears a wig. If he does, he needs to get Ralph to find him a new style. He's wearing his hair like Goldie Hawn - covering the face in a way that just looks pathetic.

[quote]Jolie is definitely balding

Listen to the 'experts' here. LOL.

There are so many factors as to why women lose their hair, many reasons besides a poor diet or anorexia. I worked with a bulimic, she had amazing thick wavy hair. Ditto for a female relative who was near anorexic, she also has thick healthy hair.

Women of all ages can suffer from hair loss. BCP can cause hair loss. Underactive thyroid and even Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome cause female hair loss, their are way too many reasons to list. There are some women who have over processed their hair for years, women who went from natural black to platinum blonde, yet they haven't lost their hair. For women, there are many different reasons for hair loss and apparently most of the hair loss treatments do not work for women as well as they work for men.

it's likely menopause for Angie.

Uh why don't these people just get a hair transplant? They sure could afford it.

Jon Hamm

Jolie has been starving herself for a long time. It's no surprise this caused her hair to fall out.

R2 Angry balding or bald queen.

Does pregnancy make women go bald?

Selena Gomez wore hideous clip on bangs a couple weeks ago and you could see her real bangs behind them. Surprised she didn't fire whoever let her walk out like that.

LVP. She hasn't seen a tampon in years, yet she still has lusciously long, full hair.

Maybe Hamm just fills in the spot behind the hairline with makeup, at least for off-screen.

Hamm probably has his hair stylist use Toppik or some other spray on fiber shit.

[quote]Uh why don't these people just get a hair transplant? They sure could afford it.

Just like topical hair loss meds (minoxidil) and even oral meds (Propecia for men, Spironolactone for women) don't work for hair loss, not everyone, especially women, has great results from hair transplants. The failure rate for women is very high.

I would like to buy a wig just to shake things up

Mariah Carey wears wigs

I think a lot more people, especially women, are going to have permanent bald spots in the coming years when they are older due to the popularity of hair weaves. Older generations didn't have weaves including the baby-boomers who didn't have weaves in their young adulthood so there is no history to look back on and draw from. But it will be interesting to see in the coming years what all those years of weaves has done to their scalp.

Don't get so freaked out and defensive, r2. I'm sure your own rug fools everyone!

Andy Cohen

Jane Pauley

Justin Trudeau

Newt Gingrich

Ellen DeGeneres

Oprah and Gayle

Miss Helen Lawson did for years, but she was caught out.

Most of the Housewives, and other reality TV cast members, like Kim Zolciak for one, have weaves. Only very few of them don't.

What going on with Hamm's hairline at R26 was that he was probably a minoxidil user for many years to halt frontal loss. Then he had a rather awesome transplant to to his temples and receding crown area. Then ceased using minoxidil or other growth treatments which brought back his original receding hairline, not a great idea after a transplant.

More concerningly he appears to have a neck tat in the pic @ r26.

Omg he's a wreck what a horrible sight r39)

Andy Cohen wears a rug? He sure won’t be happy to be reading that tid bit here on DL. He seems so vain.

He can’t read, r41. Not with those crossed eyes of his.

If no one knows, why should it be mentioned here?

It's not true dummy. Cohen doesn't wear a wig or a piece. Why would you believe something just because one anonymous poster said so?

It’s all down to the genes.

My MIL had gorgeous thick hair, straight and plentiful, and she was 71 when she passed. She had an old face, but the hair of a teenager. My husband inherited it; he’s 50 but thick and lustrous hair. And they’re Irish/Dutch.

Marky Mark. I didn’t notice the balding til there were swimming pics out last year. The sun shining on his bald spot outed that.

Ted Danson

I think Marky Mark had a hair transplant, r46.

Duchess of Cambridge

Bruce Willis.

Ricky Martin-obvious wig husband has a matching one Johnny Depp -hair piece Steve Martin- hair piece George Clooney-wig Jennifer Lopez- falls and wigs

Ah ok R48, I am no where near knowledgeable just an observer and I stand corrected. What about Donny Osmond? His face doesn’t look natural anymore, and his hair seems to have defied the genetics of the family.

Nicole Kidman Christina Hendricks

Redford

Selleck

Tell me about Debra Messing.

The photo of Hamm at r39 must be from a set- the cut on the nose, the neck tattoo are character things. I daresay the hair is too.

I looked it up, it's taken from the set of, "Baby Driver":

I recently read that a chemical in McDonald's fries may cure baldness, the mice grew hair with it!

R57, it's true. For several years I have been getting a large order of fries weekly. I put them into a blender, with a bit of mayo, and when the consistency is smooth but not watery, I apply to my scalp. I do this at night, before bed, and rinse in the morning. This has not only stopped but in fact reversed my hair loss!

People swear Seth MacFarlane.

Idk how much truth is to it.

The McDonalds thing, isn’t that the one with formaldehyde in the outside coating?

The problem with a thread like this is that people are just throwing out names without any actual evidence. As usual.

This is a gay board. If you don’t want to cackle and gossip about hair, then maybe this thread isn’t for you.

I'm almost positive that my half-brother is wearing a piece, one of those super fancy, get it cut in every month, glue it to your scalp deals. We're not super close and had been living on different coasts with just the occasional phone call for about 7 years, but have been seeing each other more often over the last handful of years. It's definitely his hair at the very front. I always forget to check if he still has the depigmented patch on the back of his head from an injury when we were kids, but I covertly asked him about it recently and he says he does. Our dad had very typical pattern baldness, starting with a receding hairline and a spot on the crown and progressing to a mostly bald top with a little fluff. My brother's mother's grandfather was a cueball from his mid-20s on. (My mom's dad never lost his hair at all.) Other than our eye sockets and brow ridge, my brother looks almost identical to his mother. The color is seamless, but it just seems impossible to me that he, at 40, would have a completely full head of hair, given the genes.

R63, is your brother a celebrity?

He's a tangential figure.

I suppose no one's mentioned Mike Nichols because (1) he's dead; and (2) it's old news, but he had no body hair at all. And some amazing wigs--if you didn't know, you wouldn't know.

Should you ask, dear ?

Who cares about John Hamm's hair? I want see the Hammaconda!

R67, Please leave our beloved Viv ALONE. She had a difficult life.

Harry Connick, Jr.

Mick Jagger. NO ONE at his age has hair that thick....are there any pictures where his wig flew off??

[quote] Let me tell you about Deb messing.

Qui etait cette cunt?

Angelina Jolie is menopausal. Thinning hair is a big part of menopause.

The McDonald's thing is true my fellow gays, I read it in the news a couple of weeks ago!

Tony Bennett

I heard Ben Affleck wears a rug.

Angelina has also had so many facial surgeries and lifts, obviously lifting up the hairline and forehead even more. So I think with her it’s a combo of drug use, plastic surgery, early menopause/hormones, and eating disorders .

Thank you kindly "EQ", whoever you might be

R58, do you always go to the same McDonalds? If you go to several, do you notice a difference in quality between them? Is it better to get the fries well browned? Why do you add mayo, and how much?

Harry Connick Jr

Me...

I watched that documentary on George Harrison "Living in the Material World" and I was mesmerized by Paul and Ringo's terrible wigs. All that money and the wigs look like a dirty shih tzu crouching on their head.

Dolly Parton has flat, greasy, dirty dishwater blonde hair. I was so disappointed when I met her. Very nice lady but her wigs are much needed.

R82, it comes down to simple logistics. Even if you're wealthy, there comes a point where you can't have a hairpiece professionally maintained on a daily basis unless you literally structure your entire life around your stylist's availability. Life Happens, and eventually you're going to be on your own for at least a few days.

Smart guys who wear hairpieces keep a large supply of baseball hats to wear backwards as a faux-hairpiece substitute during those times, or take the time to master their own hairpiece's care & maintenance. Guys who depend entirely upon professionals eventually get caught with their metaphorical pants down in front of somebody with a camera to document it forever.

A hairpiece is an eternal treadmill that's almost impossible to escape from gracefully & without psychological trauma. It's bad enough to go bald over the span of a few years... even with a hairpiece that's comically-awful, going straight to bald over the span of literal minutes is a total shock. That's why salons that do hairpiece maintenance go out of their way to keep clients from seeing themselves in a mirror with the hairpiece off... it literally TRAUMATIZES clients to see themselves like that.

Redford has looked terrible for years and I don't know why no one is telling him.

R83. I don't believe any poster has seen Dolly without her wigs. EVER. That's just a lie.

I saw Baby Driver. JH's hair didn't look like that in the movie. It was full.

I love looking at Redford's hair. It is so freaky. I saw him in an old mid 60s movie on TV recently. His wig is twice as full as his hair was then. I am mesmerized by the wig.

A while back on another thread someone said Jagger and Woods both wore wigs. They said what was obvious is that they have it in the front where you can't see the hairline. Just imagine them without hair.

Someone in another thread claimed that David Tennant wears a hairpiece in the front.

Most male celebrities still in the public eye after the age of 50 are doing something to hide thin hair/baldness.

RATTY KOREAN WIG ALERT!

[quote] RATTY KOREAN WIG ALERT!

You rang?

Get that girl some conditioner STAT!

With lots of older celebs' bad wigs, the problem can be their eyesight. They look in mirrors with highly flattering lighting and just don't see what we see when they're under the harsh lights and lens of the paparazzi.

And believe me, having worked for a lot of big celebs, NO ONE tells them honestly how bad they look. The celebs really don't want to hear it.

I think mick jagger wears a wig po but Ronnie wood, I'm not too sure, he said recently that his hair grows v fast and he has to cut it all the time

Anna wintour

Yes definitely Redford, I saw a pic where his wig was not sitting properly on his head it was so obvious

So then is there any older (however that's defined) male celebrity who doesn't wear a piece?

[quote} Oprah and Gayle

Oprah's natural hair is thick and long.

R97, pierce brosnan

R99 Oprah had said herself that her hair is very hard to manage and doesn't take coloring very well (her words) so she wears a wig out in public because it's just easier. She doesn't have hair extensions because she doesn't need them but said her hair is kinky and gets wild and out of control so she does wear a wig when she goes out from her massive collection of wigs.

Oprah does not wear wigs. That is a completely fabricated lie. She has thick gorgeous shiny hair, when it's relaxed. Casually she wears it in rows and plaits, occasionally in it's full natural frizzy glory. She has a full time hairdresser and no need of wigs. She's worn wigs for acting roles of course, but not in real life.

Harpo

Au Naturel...

Pierce Brosnan...real hair RDJ ... real hair Andy Cohen ... real hair

They may all use a little make up or TOPPIK when being filmed

Just about every female in show biz. Most of the men too. Travolta of course, JFK suspect, CZJ lace wigs, Halle Berry, Angie, Affleck, LeBron, all of the Kardashians & Jenners-mainly lace wigs, but they used to do sew ins, Ivanka extensions, Trump horse weave, Hope Hicks extensions, Taylor Swift wigs, Bieber willbe soon, Ewan McGregor, the list goes on.

Did you notice that men with very hairy chests tend to bald earlier? Not true of everyone, but a lot of them.

Usually it's due to an excess of testaserone, R107.

How can Lebron be wearing a wig when you can see his scalp through his hair? It's cut very short, and you can see exactly where his hair plugs were placed to bring his hairline forward a bit.

Not to mention the fact that no one could wear a wig when they are playing 40 minutes of a basketball game.

Raquel Welch.

Bieber? Good. I remember how snarky he was about prince williams dome. Not that I'm a pw fan.

When I was younger, I worked on a tv film produced by americans, with a British cast. Alan Bates was in it. He was treated for cancer, and was very ill obviously. His thick black hair had fallen during pre-production due to chimio. The producer, who was a absolute cunt, decided to put him in a wig. So they made him try it on in front of the whole crew. He said no. 'No vanity'.He gently explained that his part had been created by Charles Laughton, so he didn't think he had to be pretty. The production team was livid. He became our hero.we all loved him, he was so brave. These pigs had to do with his 'bald'cancer look.

"....his part had been created by Charles Laughton."

What was the film, r112?

I say, what's that on your head?

R113 it was 'Spartacus'.

Xtuudtujhjjf

R116 did you have a seizure ?

I recall some folks commented that Thomas Roberts, formerly of MSNBC wears a piece.

Wow r114, the b52s surely had their sound down. RIP dear Ricky.

....

After Michael Jackson died, there were rumored autopsy reports that he was completely bald and likely had been bald for many years. MJ had some sort of hairpiece for decades. Of course, that was the least of his secrets.

Oh yes, MJ wore a lace front. I’ve seen photos with visible lace.

Elton John wears some atrocious looking wigs.

Nicole kidman had so many brow and face lifts her hair is at bak of her head.

way wiggy.

Jon Hamm looks awful.

Go out in public. Look around. Most guys over 40 or 50 have hair loss, and a good percentage significant hair loss. Most are also greying. In the general population if 60-70% have hair loss, and 80-90% are greying, the same is true in H'wood. You have your rare cases like Bruce Willis or Stanley Tucci that just go with it. And you have a handful that may not need help. But the majority of them, if they are still showing a full head of perfectly colored hair, are getting some assistance.

Sometimes it's required for a role. I know Timothy Olyphant would start to go grey when not shooting "Justified", then when the new season started... no grey.

R121 Jackson’s scalped was badly burned in the Pepsi commercial accident in the 198Os. He had no doubt worn hair pieces for many yrs, eventually adapting a lace front wig.

One of the reasons Jared Kushner’s security clearance was downgraded was because evidence of his hairpiece, previously undisclosed, was discovered.

Joan, Rosalind and Bette wore wigs when they got older.

Did Cicely Tyson have thin hair? She always wears those head turbans and I wondered if it was because she had thin hair?

R130 I don't know about her hair, but black women often cover their hair. It's a lot of work for black women to keep their hair up to American standards (straight or wavy) so the often just wrap it up or wear wigs.

Joan's wigs looked silly. She had that weird orange one in Torch Song

Melania

[R133] How dare you!

How does Omarosa get her hair so straight? I know she must have her hair straightened and wear weaves or extensions. But damn, it looks like she doesn't have black hair at all. No split ends after all the chemical treatments. I don't think she wears a wig. I know white women with wavy, frizzy hair who couldn't keep up with it like she does and when they do you can see the split ends all over their head.

Most black women have weaves and hair pieces at some point due to their natural hair being hard to manage and being seen as ghetto

Muriel, I can do without the hateful shit said about black women around here. Now the very existence of a black women is ghetto. It never ends with lovely group of (white) men, does it?

Unconfirmed:

Jennifer Aniston Janeane Garofalo Allison Janney Debra Messing.

Everyone clocked mine right away.

Well according to Nicki Minaj Tyga had a hair transplant.

Bump.

Ty Burrell?

Mick has some really good wigs. Like other posters, I've been waiting years, decades, for one to go flying as he prances around.

Has Jason Bateman been outed yet? There is no way his is real.

[R144] Uh, it is real. Just like his sister, the Batemans have goo hair genes.

[R143] All his.

Thanks "Uh" at r144 I am surprised I have to say. It has looked exactly the same for ages now.

Sorry, I meant "Uh" at r145

Fred Astaire

Ben Affleck does NOT wear a wig. And I’m the dame who can prove it!

Bret Michaels, the lead singer of Poison and Apprentice contestant. He's never pictured without a bandana to hold that matted wig in place. Even when he went into the hospital, photos showed him wearing that bandana over his wig as he lay in the hospital bed.

[R151] Actually it was just him wearing the bandana, no wig. They had open his head up.

Christina Hendricks!

Did George Michael start to lose his hair? Or did he want to wear it so close to his head?

[R154] He had the "Ceasar" haircut that was in style in the mid 90s.

[quote]Uh why don't these people just get a hair transplant? They sure could afford it.

Hair transplants don't always work, especially for women, because their aren't enough viable follicle areas to extract the hair from to transplant. Women usually have more diffused type of hair loss, which causes loss throughout the entire scalp. Which each passing growth phase, each actual hair fiber looks and feels thinner. For some women happens rapidly, for others, very noticeable hair loss can take years.

Balding men usually still have viable strong growth in the back of their head, which is wear the follicles can be harvested.

Debra Messing?

They could always get a scalp reduction. And wear a comb-over style. Looks great on me.

What is up with Trey Gowdy’s pointy head and jacked up hair? A piece?

Will Smith

Kristen Chenowth has little to no hair left.

I wonder if Mick Jagger wears wigs? Sometimes it looks fake.

Ron Wood has very thick and lots of hair. He said it grows fast. But wonder if it's really a wig.

Both Mick and Ron have their own hair.

[quote]Kristen Chenowth has little to no hair left.

Kristen has mentioned many years of wearing extensions ruining her bio hair.

Mick's brother Chris is balding. I don't know what to think about Mick's hair.

Chirs is 70.

Allison Janney Janeane Garofalo?

Back in the day, Chris Jagger had as much hair as Mick.

Why you people feel the need to make these comments; when you are obviously clueless about black hair. You can't explain something that you know nothing about. You just sound foolish. This is like listening to a couple of homophobes explain gay sex.

No most black women do not wear hair pieces. Some do and some don't. Some relax (straighten) their hair and some don't. For several years now there has been a huge natural hair trend (un-straightened). The texture of black hair can vary greatly. Most black women have their hair professionally done weekly of bi weekly, depending on the styling. And because its attached to their heads their entire lives; most know how to manage it. Just as anyone else knows how to manage and care for their own body parts.

Hasn't Joan Collins been bald since the 1970s?

Joan Collins just has thin hair.

A slight majority of men over 30 suffer from some degree of hair loss - that's a fact. Sadly, those that do not are usually hideous in every other way. Hair loss on a good looking man doesn't bother me all that much - he often oozes masculinity. Black men really have the upper card here - since they tend to look best completely bald anyway (it sucks for the rest of us, but you know that it's true). The alarming surprise is how many women suffer from balding as well. It seems as if more females are going bald than ever and are loosing their hair earlier and earlier in life. At the end of the day, who cares? Tons of both men and women look great in wigs and hair pieces; you just have to invest in quality prodcuts and then take proper care of them. Lots of maintenance for sure.

R79, great questions! I always go to the one on 6th Ave and I appreciate their consistency of production there. I tried one in the Village, which is more convenient, but they were kind of gray and waterlogged. The potatoes should NOT be well browned because that promotes carcinogen formation. I add mayo as an emulsifier. Hellman's° works the best (I'm not in their employ!), a healthy tablespoon.

David Spade

[R175] Guilty!

[quote]Tons of both men and women look great in wigs and hair pieces; you just have to invest in quality prodcuts and then take proper care of them. Lots of maintenance for sure.

Supplemental hair is very expensive. A female friend has spotty hair loss, she couldn't take using Toppik and spending so much time everyday on her hair. She had beautiful thick wavy hair, then one day it started to fall out. She wasted thousands on hair loss doctors, who did nothing and couldn't even tell her why she was losing her hair. She wasn't even in menopause when she started losing her hair.

Pre-hair loss, she had enough hair for three women. So, for someone who had massive hair to lose more than 50% of her hair, she was devastated. She tried regular wigs, which were uncomfortable, she wasn't a candidate for extensions, so that didn't work out, she didn't like the glue in option. She started looking into vacuum wigs, she now has a few custom made vacuum wigs.

In order to wear a vacuum wig, your hair has to be completely shaved off. Each wig took about two months to complete and they're very expensive, they cost about $5,000 each!

Wearing hair is not just about maintenance, the cost of truly excellent hairpieces is very expensive.

Lucille Ball

R174 I call bullshit.

Goldie Hawn.

Diane Keaton

Bette Midler

Agree with r170. And I might add black hair is the most versatile of all the hair types. It can be worn in an afro, cornrows, boxbraids or straight and flowing. Chemicals are not required to temporarily wear it straight as this video demonstrates. Within the last few years a flood of excellent black hair care products have appeared on the market. Some black women, who have the time and finances to invest, have very long hair.

Bump.

Does Joan Jett wear a wig?

Have heard Ron and Mick wear wigs and you can tell because they never show their front hairlineside anymore, they cover it with hair.

[R184] No they don't.

Tina Fey?

Amy Poehler?

Diana Ross. The Supremes. Martha Reeves. The Jacksons.

I'd say most female stars wear extensions. Especially on the red carpet. It's not to cover thinning, more to add length and make their hair super full.

Christina Hendricks is damn near bald.

I think Hendricks goes out with her real hair now. In recent pictures her hair looks like normal fine hair, not as thick as her wigs.

[R190] Wonder how she got it to grow back?

R191 maybe vitamins and protein. Hair loss is more complicated for women. Sometimes its pattern baldness like men get, but a different pattern. Sometimes its autoimmune. Sometimes nutrition. Sometimes the doctors don't know. I don't think Hendricks ever had super thick hair. Some people just don't have a lot of follicles and have a naturally fine texture. If you start with thin fine hair and develop a hair issue it will look bad right away.

Whoever on here thinks Woods and Jagger have their own hair is deluded. They have more hair now than in their 20s. Not possible.

[R193] Whatever.

Kevin James

Howard Stern.

I really don't know. James Spader should.

Eva Gabor always wore wigs, even owned her own line. Zsa Zsa's hair always appeared to be real.

Debbie Reynolds wore wigs exclusively since the late 1960's.

This kinda looks like one, but even if it's not, wew that hairline is creeping on back so he'll wear one more permanently soon.

Chris Cuomo?

[R200] No way.

Iman is bald.

Find me one photo where she doesn't wear a wig.

Rip Taylor

Chris Pratt

[R202] I see what you did there.

Aren't most women with "box braids" wearing weaves/extensions?

Iman with her natural hair

[quote]There are people who are sure that Howard Stern wears a wig. If he does, he needs to get Ralph to find him a new style. He's wearing his hair like Goldie Hawn - covering the face in a way that just looks pathetic.

Oh, Howard Stern's "hairstyle" is absolutely pathetic, I agree... but it also helps cover up some of his immense fugliness, so imo nobody should be complaining about it!

Is that Ricky Martin at R199? If not, then who?

I’m amazed Rip Taylor is still alive. They should put him on Saturday Night Live. That’s where they all go to die these days.

George Stephanopoulos hair doesn't look natural.

R209 Yes that's Ricky

You mean Kevin Spacey OP?

r183- If Joan Jett wore a wig, her hair wouldn't get all sweaty like the rest of her, when she rocks. So, the answer is clearly no.

Though, she may wear a hair-piece to add volume at times- but that's just a maybe.

I heard a vicious rumor that Pastor Ernest Angley's hair is as fake as his faith healing!

[R214] That's an old pic of Joan. If you've seen her recently, you'll see her hair is a lot different.

r216- This video here is only about two years old, and same deal- sweaty hair! Wigs don't get sweaty like this...

...Adding to that, I went to a concert of hers fairly recently, and the person with me remarked how by the middle of the show or so, she looked like she had just taken a shower! So I'd say the chances of that being a wig are very, very slim.

If Joan Jette was wearing a wig her hair would be fuller and longer. women don't usually go with short layered styles when the get wigs. The thing R218 said about the wetness is also true.

[R217] Forget her hair, what about that botoxed mouth? Holy shit.

r220- Eh... I don't see anything weird about her mouth in that video.

[R221] Some obvious frozen lips going on there. Elton John(who does wear a weave) has the same thing going on.

r222- Looks cute to me. So, whatever she did there, it was obviously a good thing.

Joan Jett looks good especially for her age, but there's just nothing anyone can do about looking older overall. Her slight hunchback and some of her head movements made her look like a grandma for a second here and there.

A hot grandma.

It is very possible that some celebs take propecia, therefore explaining good hair after a certain age.

[quote]Joan Jett looks good especially for her age, but there's just nothing anyone can do about looking older overall. Her slight hunchback and some of her head movements made her look like a grandma for a second here and there.

r224- I agree about her looking like a grandma in certain ways. But I must admit, the grandma look is rather adorable on her. One poster says "hot"- but I say cute.

See, it's alright getting older. Once you get used to it, you realize it's just trading one type of attractiveness for another.

She looks like a sweet grandma.

Joan Jett and Kat Von D are morphing into the same person with all the plastic surgery & injectables they're getting.

r229- There's one major difference that makes all the difference: Joan Jett knew when to call it quits with the tats. She didn't become an addict, like Kat Von D is, and therefore, any work that Joan has done will always be more subtle in nature than KVD.

Has anyone mentioned Steve Carnell?

Jennifer Aniston wore a wig at the 2017 Oscars.

Never heard of Steve Carnell

They meant Steve Carell.

Can someone please explain the ear at r215 to me? Explain it like I'm blind.

[R235] Facelift?

Parker Posey

Courtney Cox

Joan Collins.

Joan Collins isn't shy about taking off her wig.

God, I love Joan.

[quote]God, I love Joan.

Me too! Especially Joan Jett and Joan Crawford!

It seems like the stars who are "Joan" are more star-like and sophisticated than most.

Although I have no proof, I suspect Patricia Altschul (Southern Charm) wears a wig. Those are some thick luxurious tresses for a 78 year old.

Matthew Camp?

I never cared for John Jett, but I've always loved Joan Collins. She's one of a kind.

Joan ^ (R244)

I don't know if r244 meant to say "John Jett" or not, when referring to Joan. But, I will say that there are a few people out there (or one person posting multiple places, who knows) who always say she's not an actual woman, and insist that her name is really "John Jett" as opposed to Joan. It's like they've created this whole conspiracy about it in their minds. As a Joan Jett fan, it is really weird to come across people saying that.

Joan Jett, I care for a lot, though Joan Collins ain't bad.

I meant Joan Collins and I was referring to the video posted above.

Joan Jett: No wig, possible pieces

Joan Collins: Wigs galore, but not shy about taking them off in public

Anybody check Joan Cusack or Osbourne?

Kevin Spacey.

Sarah Silverman wears an updo wig.

Kelly Ripa owns this thread

If that bitchy little Queen Seacrest hasn't tried to steal it from her yet

[R251] That pic is from the late 90s and is her real hair.

Whatever you say, R252

And her boobs are real too!

Did I hear someone mention my name?

[R253] Not saying she doesn't wear them now, but not back then.

Kristin Chenoweth

I heard some little cunt here is trying to steal my look (ciggy puff)

And since I got out of the joint...I mean, rehab (ciggy puff, releasing smoke slowly in rings)

I will cut a bitch.

I was Joan Collins neighbor, and I've posted before. She has a very high hairline, and is not "bald". I always thought she looked better without wigs, but she can't use the tape to lift up her skin without them.

And Rod Stewart owns this thread.

[R258] Rod's hair is all his.

Yeah, Rod has more hair as time goes on.

Yes, (R200) Chis Cuomo admitted he wears a hair piece last night on his CNN show "Prime Live"

Selena Gomez needs to fire whoever let her wear these extensions!

No R246, that's why I corrected in the next post.

-R244

[R263] Joan Jett does free meet and greets before and after her shows, so you could ask her about her hair there.

Umm thanks, R264.

Allison Janney loves wigs!

[R266] Damn, she's hot.

[quote]Yes, ([R200]) Chis Cuomo admitted he wears a hair piece last night on his CNN show "Prime Live"

What did he say?

[R268] He was joking. He was doing a play on the adage "I'm going to flip my wig".

OK but read the tweet above

[R270] Sound like plugs to me.

I love how the Meghan Markle sugar tried to sneak in here.

I think most celebrities wear hair pieces and wigs when appearing on film/TV. It's just as common as makeup .

That "halo" thing - a little circle of hair to lift the crown, has to be used on just about everybody. I remember seeing the "extras" on the DVD of Ugly Betty, and Becky Newton, who was still in her twenties and doing some commentating, mentioned that she could see her "halo" in one shot.

OTOH, I saw some promo for GLOW that showed backstage stuff, and I was shocked to see the hair department teasing and spraying the shit out of Alison Brie and Betty Gilpin's actual hair to get those enormously high, shellacked 'dos. In addition, Brie says she gets a perm when she does the show, and Gilpin says she gets a "body perm" because apparently in the 80s women liked their hair puffy. Maybe they can't use pieces and wigs because they're getting in the ring themselves, pulling hair and getting thrown around.

Burt Reynolds

[R275] Welcome Captain Obvious.

[quote]Joan Jett does free meet and greets before and after her shows, so you could ask her about her hair there.

Actually, she quit doing those a couple months ago, and no-one really knows why- unless it's to avoid that dreaded hair question from fans!

^ goes to r264

[R277] Hope she's not sick or anything.

r279- I was told she's just "tired and tired of doing them"- that she never sold them anyway, and that it was always the same fans. But really, that was the management's fault about the same fans getting m&g all the time. So, doesn't make much sense. But, it's making some fans flip their own wigs, I'm sure!

[R280] So, what do you think of Joan's hair? All hers? Pieces? Wig?

R281- Pieces at times in the past, but all hers the majority of the time.

[R282} When in the past has she worn them? Do you know her?

r283- I doubt if anybody *really* knows Joan.

But, in answer to your question, on some TV show shoots (when playing a character) and maybe a time or two outside TV. But, otherwise it's her hair.

[R284]- well it seemed like [R282] knew a lot about her.

r285- Well, I do know what I do know, and I don't know what I don't. (^_^)

[R286] So, when did Joan wear pieces, and why did she stop?

both mika and joe wear wiglets...

If any of you baldies would like some hair, the Joan Jett wig is only $19.95

Order now, and you too can ROCK!

[quote]So, when did Joan wear pieces, and why did she stop?

r287- I'm thinking late 1980s. Very briefly, if that. That was when big hair was in- so, if she wore a hair-piece at any time, it would have been then- as she too had the unnaturally big hair for a bit.

The rest of the time though, as mentioned above, unless a part called for a wig on TV or something, it's always her own hair (as far as I can tell). And if in doubt, just follow the sweat drops (Joan loves to sweat); they'll give it away every time!

Looks like Joan's adjusting something at the start.

r291- No, that's her real hair.

If you want proof that that's her real hair, r291, just watch videos filmed later in that same concert- and notice the dripping sweat everywhere, all over her hair! That does not happen with wigs. As said earlier, connect the [sweat] dots, dude.

[quote]I was shocked to see the hair department teasing and spraying the shit out of Alison Brie and Betty Gilpin's actual hair to get those enormously high, shellacked 'dos

Whoa, that really surprises me. Both Brie and especially Gilpin appear to have pretty fine hair. I was sure Gilpin was wearing some kind of piece.

Men have the advantage of shaving their head, or embracing their baldness with a buzz cut. They can still look great. Women don't have that option.

I think with hair transplants, you need a good patch of donor hair, for it to work and look good. Not everyone has that.

A lot of hair in the back.

Jensen Ackles, although he barely qualifies as as celebrity.

Stevie Nicks. She has had alopecia for 30 years, and always has used wigs and extensions. It's gotten so sparse that she now just shaves her head and keeps a set of lace wigs for long-term wearing. It's really obvious when you see her photos close-up.

You'd think they'd itch after a couple days.

[R299] That is an outright lie.

Not someone who's "current", but Judy Collins (one of the heroines of my youth) seems to be wearing wigs lately. Perhaps she has a medical hairloss issue? (She's almost 80). They're noticable because she's wearing them way too low, loke barely an inch above her eyebrows.

[R301] It's all hers.

Send in the Clowns

The top looks fake, but not the sides.

[quote] Jensen Ackles, although he barely qualifies as as celebrity.

This can be a wig??

Sarah Silverman wears an updo wig that makes it look like she's wearing her hair up.

Debbie Harry wears a wig when she performs with Blondie.

R295 at least four men in my workplace shaved their heads as soon as the top receded. I don't know what kind of maintenance that requires, what kind of grooming products or how often it has to be removed. Come to think of it, I work in a law firm and I think the peer pressure for grooming is much much more severe than for women. So many of the men are uniformly skinny, faultlessly styled, and it's not just the ones I know are gay. There's almost a thin competition. The women are more relaxed. Most have a small, practical wardrobe, don't seem to be at the gym every non-working hour or be anal about having a low calorie lunch, and only whip out the stand-out clothing if they're meeting clients or going to court. It's not like the women are heavy, either, it's just so many of the men have "figures" that look like knives. If they didn't have that physique when they showed up, they acquired if after working there.

R305 That is definitely a wig. The color doesn't even match.

[quote][R305] That is definitely a wig. The color doesn't even match.

So the buzzed part is real and the spiky part is the wig??

[R309] That's some Grade A trolling, right there.

R311 must be a starry-eyed fan girl, because I was just stating the obvious truth.

Fans are so adorable.

Allison Janney outed herself.

Jensen doesn’t wear a wig. Trust me.

Why is Selena Gomez wearing a wig? She has beautiful thick hair. Her real short hair looks better than this wig. Is the anti-rejection meds she takes for her kidney transplant causing hair loss?

Joel Mchale. I don’t think it’s a transplant. It’s glued on.

[R316] Well done transplant.

Ty Burrell.

Linda Gray

Erica Hill of every news network. Never admits her wig, even on Twitter.

Wig bump.

Is Joan Jett a lesbian.

r323- Well, she says if you want to know the answer to the question of her sexuality, listen to the lyrics of her songs (including covers I guess, since they were chosen for what they meant to her). Here's just one song as an example. So, what do you think?

Basically, she's sang about longing for men and women, so I'd say that means bi. But, she has a lesbian symbol tattoos on her lower back, and wears it as a necklace.

[R323] She also covered AC/DC, yeah I'd say she's bi. Beats the hell out of me why she never had a long term partner.

r324- I think most people can't handle her road life is one reason. Another is she tends to fall for people who either aren't fully available to her, or aren't serious, from what I gather. Seems she's the one to usually be hurt in those situations.

[R325] Makes sense. BTW, her hair during "Up Your Alley" era in the late 80s was all hers.

r326- Hmmm... Are you Joan, testing me, just to see what I'll say about you?

[R327] Haha, no. I saw a picture on a guys blog of her and him at a record company event when the record came out. You can clearly see her brown roots through the dye.

Does anyone under 60 care or even know Joan?

[R329] 30 and I love her. Her hair was short and combed forward when the Sinner album came out. In recent years starting in 2010 or so, it's had a lot of volume to it.

...Okay, Joan- I'll say it- your hair is shiny, soft, and beautiful! And you are so full of hair, that you are positively hairy, LOL!

Joan's not here.

[quote]Does anyone under 60 care or even know Joan?

r329- What a silly question! Does anyone under 60 know Madonna or Cher? Pfft!

You don't know that, r332. She wouldn't say either way; she's sneaky.

Like I said, I'm 30 and big fan of Joan.

When Joan shaved her head in 2000, she opened for Def Leppard. She came out in a wig that looked like her own hair, a few songs in she ripped it off.

r336- Yeah, I heard about that. But, Joan being one of the sweatiest people I've ever seen late in her concert, I've just learned that the sweat reveals all. So, I just watch for the drip, drip, drop.

...She says sweat is sexy. The way she goes about it, I have to agree! Especially back when she had that washboard stomach!

[R336] How did you hear about it?

Well, from people who were there. Maybe she did it more than once. One guy said her hair kept changing colors throughout the concert (orange, green, blue...), until finally, she revealed herself to be bald.

[R336] Man, I've been looking for audio/video/pictures of that. Anybody know where to find any?

[R338] She doesn't have much of a gut these days either.

r341- I wish I knew where to find video of it.

But speaking of her hair, she's definitely wearing a wig during the reporter parts of this video:

[R343] Love it, both of them are.

The good thing is, since we've seen Joan bald before, it wouldn't be too shocking for her to be bald again- and I'd still love her :-)

But, no worries- black hair, don't care ;-)

Bald Joan!

How about Janeane Garofalo?

What stands out to me as the biggest difference with Joan Jett over the years is not so much the hair on her head, but her brow-hair. Notice how drastically her brows have changed shape over the years- altering her whole look.

Joan is no Madonna or Cher.

[R348] She had a facelift or brow lift around 2011, plus veneers or dentures. Also had a nose job.

r350- But, her nose looks the same. I've seen no change in it.

[R351] Seemed real wide in 70s pics from The Runaways.

r353- Well, I suppose it's possible she had some very minimal work done to it- but very minimal.

As for her mouth, all I can say is, anything she did to get this sweet smile is alright with me. She was so, so cute in "Big Driver"!

Got old there

^ And wearing less makeup, which I like though. She's known for the bold makeup, but I like her with more sheer coverage.

She's more known for darker makeup, like here... And her teeth are a little different here from the above video too, for whatever reason.

[R355] Hair looks great.

r356- Yes, it does. Though, I'm sort of partial to this style on her- whatever that's called:

Or this hair-style

No to[R357], yes to [R358]. She has elf ears

Well, being Irish ancestry, she is closely related to leprechauns.

And here's an example of the slicked forward hair you mentioned earlier. Cute here, and I think she was feeling friskier than usual here, haha!

Janeane Garofalo in 2009.

Janeane

Janeane.

Joan's hair looks fab here. The slightest cut or part makes such a difference!

[R361] [R362] [R363] Looks like a wig, but I don't know.

r365- Can't really help ya there. But, I did have fun indulging my Joan Jett love with you. Always happy to spread her around a bit :-)

Well, did you notice any sweat drips? I didn't.

And yes, any Joan is good Joan.

R367- Not in the interviews, no. But, in every concert, if you watch from start to finish, you'll see the dripping sweat and wet hair. I don't think I've ever seen a concert of hers where that hasn't happened at some point. But, it won't be at every part of the show.

[R368] I was referring to the Janeane clips, but yes.

r369- Oh, sorry. No, I haven't watched the Jeannine ones. But, I probably wouldn't be the best judge of her, since I don't really know much about her. But, watching Joan has taught me that as a general rule, if no sweat, then it's probably a wig or hair piece. :-)

* Janeane, I mean.

They're only a few minutes long, just take a look.

Isn't there hairspray that keeps the hair from getting wet?

r372- Okay, after watching, it looks like a possible wig to me, to be honest.

However, it will be harder to judge Janeane's hair, whether it's real or not, because of the length. Long hair is harder to judge in that way, I think.

It never that bushy, that's all..

"LVP. She hasn't seen a tampon in years, "

I thought she was married to one.

No, wait, that was the Duchess of Cornwall.

All these British people look the same to me what with their blimies and such.

[quote]Joan is no Madonna or Cher.

r349- Actually, Joan Jett is right there with them, just not as much of an attention-seeker or as filthy-rich. But, she has icon-status, just like they do!

Fake hair always looks fake.

[R377] Think you, Captain Obvious.

Do NOT, I repeat DO NOT ask Nicole Kidman about her wigs.

Bump.

What about her hair? Is it a wig or not?

[R381] Bald since three.

Just wanted to add that Burt's hairpieces were so distracting during the extensive coverage of his recent passing.

r382- But, could you tell that before looking it up though?

I just recently fount out about her, after thinking how cute she is, how much I love her cute hair-cut. So, I thought she would make the perfect addition to this thread.

[R384] It could've gone either way, look wig like, but real too.

[R383] Get help, seriously.

Does Colin Jost wear a Ratty Korean Wig?

^^^ I love his hair... if it's a piece that would be shocking! I dind't htink you could do pieces with buzzed sides/back hairdos

R388 Yes, you can. It's just that the hair on top looks almost ridiculously thick.

It's it's his hair, I am very jealous.

But it looks like his eyes, nose, and mouth are shrinking into the center of his face.

Interesting R389. I still don't think that pic of Jensen Ackles is a toupee. Looks too blended between the buzzed and the spiky part

heres an old pic of Colin. looks like he always had super thick hair.

i wonder what the meat is like :)

Yes, Colin's hair is real.

R350, 359, 385,386 etc. Just a gentle reminder that you don't need to put brackets or parentheses around the reply you are referencing. Simply a capital R and then the number (no space between). That should save you some time and effort. (Datalounge does if for you automatically if you follow the format I just mentioned.) XO

R393 Thanks.

R393 Thanks for instructions.

Did Jost get a nose job?

It looks like it

Jennifer Annistons’ hair hasn’t moved or changed in at least thirty years.

Or maybe it feels like thirty years.

Isn’t she around sixty years old? Everything must be hot glued on by now.

R399 Jen's not even 50 yet.

Don't you dare call me 60, I'm 49 and a half!!!

Jen wore a wig at the 2017 Oscars, but otherwise it's all hers.

R401 But do we know for sure?

Forget Jennifer Aniston, how about Coutney Cox?

Kirstie Alley

I've seen Nicole up close a few times and still can't figure out what she does to give the illusion of hair. It's bizaare.

R405 A lacefront wig.

R405 Look closer.

Bump.

Vince Vaughn, not so much, in that whenever I catch a rerun of "Wedding Crashers" on cable, I find myself waiting for the appearances of his many Toupees throughout the film. This is the best part of this film!

R409 He's an asshole, so he deserves to be outed.

Any mentions of the late, great, Kevin Spacey?

Ben Affleck, maybe

R412 I wonder about his.

I feel sorry for aging male stars who have to wear a wig. In real life, you can just throw on a baseball cap, problem solved. A lot of black women must wear wigs, so much easier than getting their real hair to conform to white standards. And really, what does it matter if they're beautiful wigs? You're born naked and the rest is drag.

Joan Collins was rocking a nice 80s wig on last nights "Late Late Show".

Affleck straight up got hair plugs a while back.

He had a bald spot but it's gone now.

Paul Rodgers.

Morrissey.

R418 In the front certainly.

cant that fug from FLIPPING OUT WEAR BETTER WIG????

JEFF U OLD TIGHTWAD

JaneFonda.

Kate Pierson.

Bump.

Julie Chen.

Bump.

Bump.

Michael Jackson!

R393, it doesn't need to be a capital r, a lowercase one works just fine...

Joan Jeet interviewed.

Pretty much all female celebrities wear hairpieces at some point. Give them thicker, fuller hair that can be styled before plopping it on their head. Also then they can have their hair shorter and more manageable when not in front of a camera or on stage.

R430 Katherine Heigl would like to have a word with you.

Jeff Lewis wears a wig?

Jeff Lewis does not. It's a running joke with Andy Cohen.

Winona Ryder.

Linda Evans.

Allison Janney.

R436 Love her wig.

Any alternative rockers sporting wigs? The Deal Sisters? Julianna Hatfield? Liz Phair?

Susan Lucci.

Good one, Shatner pre-1970. Bad one, Shatner post 1970.

R440 Shatner's been wearing pieces since before Star Trek. They just got more obvious looking during the 70s.

[quote]Any alternative rockers sporting wigs? The Deal Sisters? Julianna Hatfield? Liz Phair?

Tori Amos supposedly now wears a wig. She has such nice thick wavy hair, but started to suffer from female alopecia awhile back.

The Tori Amos Troll will be able to give you more detailed info.

R442 Not "supposedly", she does wear them. She had some sort of stomach problem that required steroids, and her hair thinned out out as a result. Her hair was always thin though

R441, Uh, that's exactly what I said. Sheesh...

Jolie wears wigs

anorexia and drug addiction

Nicole Flopman

Christins Hendricks.

Bing on his day off. So many of that time, Mr Hope, Mr Howard wore a front piece for filming. It helped narrow the age difference with 25ish Rosemary Clooney in White Christmas.

I'm 62. My hair is very straight, and fine. And there's plenty of it, no sign of balding at all, not even thinning.
