Brendan Fraser without his hairpiece on
Danceinsane
Magazine (it was my mother's, of course) and they had a picture of Brendan
Fraser shopping in Beverly Hills with his hairpiece off.....Always heard rumors
that he wore one, but it was shocking to see him without most of his hair.
Okay, I am not a big fan of hairpieces and I myself would never, ever get one
(saving my dough for Hair Multiplication in 3 years), but I have to say that
the guy would not be a movie star without the hairpiece......it was a pretty
dramatic difference. You start to realize what a difference hair makes on some
(okay most) people when you see a picture like that.
Of course there was a stupid ass caption below the picture poking fun at his
hairloss by I'm sure someone that has more hair than my dog....hate those
people. Now i am waiting to see William Shatner, Chazz Palmentari, Al Pacino,
and Burt Reynolds without their pieces........

do a little extra work in photo shop exaggerating the pictures seeing that I
saw some other pictures of him in an australian magazine that looked to be
taken the same exact day and it looked more like he has hair loss on the side
of his head but the front looked pretty decent. The aussie tab did not say
anything about his hair though. I think he has pretty much been thinning since
his early 20's.
Another tabloid, I think Star or Globe again said Prince William was balding
too, and had yet another picture that looked VERY exaggerated with this big
huge baldspot that is never seen when he is on tv or in other magazines that
are not tabloids. About 1 week later another tabloid stuck William on the cover
and had a similar story.

a pretty fulll head to me......from what i could see those Brendan Fraser pics
looked real, but like you said you never know with tabloids.
And I am not positive about Al Pacino wearing a hairpiece, but a friend of my
cousin works as a stylist in Hollywood and she said that there has always been
talk of him wearing a piece along with the other guys i listed, but i guess you
you never can know for sure.
Also, According to her Enrique Inglesias, Dennis Miller, Mel Gibson, Michael
Douglas and Nicholas Cage have all gotten some transplant work done.....among
many others.

I had no idea about Fraser. Gibson's hair is going fast. Cage wears a
hairpeice in all his films. I just saw a recent pic of Christopher Reeve
and he was pretty much bald. I wonder if this was brought on by his
condition. As if the poor guy didn't have enough troubles.

I definitely believe both the Fraser pics and Prince William pics were doctored
BIG time. Two tabloids gave Prince a huge, gaping bald spot and Fraser's seemed
very exaggerated judging by the other pics I had seen of him. If you went by
Star you would think he was completely bald on top, but the other pictures were
not nearly as severe.
I do not trust tabloids, I think they mess around with photos, and im sure they
do it to women to in their endless "caught without makeup" pictures. They are
amusing, but that is about it.

This must be one *amazing* hairpiece (click on the middle thumbnail - 3rd
pic in - to get an excellent closeup view of his hairline):

others with insanely good hair like Michael Douglas or Al Pacino.
THEN, some shill starts speculating that Richard Farrell did their
hair. It is comical - check it out on hairsite sometime.
Why not just throw Michael Landon in there - he's dead so nobody will
ever be able to prove it wrong ! They already do it with Jack Lord
who did NOT wear a piece as anyone who watched all the 5-0 episodes
and saw him in MAJOR wind knows.

I would not describe Brendan's hair as insanenly good, but it is not as bad as
some people seem to want to believe either. The Star pics I would say were
definitely bogus/doctored because I had seem a couple other tabloid/paparazzi
shots of him around the same time and he does have thin hair, but still has
most of it. Ever seen School Ties? You could tell his hair was thinning in the
movie, but it is a little worse now than it was then.
In the movies it appears he has extensions put in.
P.S. LOL about Michael Landon and I do not believe Al Pacino or Douglas are
bald.
Here is more evidence, posted in alt.gossip.celebrites and about other stars.
Ben Affleck was a surprise to me, but who really knows?
August 26, 2002
Dear Readers:
A source of mine who lives in a far away country -- so deprived of life's
necessities that she doesn't even get "Access Hollywood" or the National
Enquirer -- e-mailed me to find out if it was really true that Ben Affleck and
J. Lo are an item. I e-mailed back a link to a photo of the two looking quite
couple-like.
My source was flabbergasted. Not that Ben's often questionable and seemingly
insatiable appetite in babes is being quenched by the most bodacious of them
all. No, my source's concern was purely follicular. "BEN IS WEARING A RUG!!!!!"
she e-mailed me.
Whoa! I thought. That's a pretty heavy-duty accusation. I mean, I've seen Ben
in person a couple of times, and he's always struck me as a pretty hirsute
kinda guy. Not, of course, that there's anything wrong with being bald. I mean,
some of my best friends have receding hairlines. But, let's face it, in this
hair-oriented society, being exposed as a baldy has a potentially ruinous
effect on a male sex symbol.
Or at least some stars act like it does. I should know. I am regularly
bombarded with dark rumors of thinning hair: The lengths to which Kevin Costner
is rumored to go to hide his head. The time Mel Gibson needed his head powdered
to prevent his bald spot from shining during a press junket. And the John
Travolta stories are just too awful to discuss.
Personally, I think this is pure bigotry. Sleek-headed men can be devastatingly
handsome and virile, and I applaud the brave bald celebs who have come clean
about their bare heads. They are important role models for closeted hair-losing
men everywhere. But for every Ed Harris and Patrick Stewart out there, there
are dozens of Burt Reynoldses and Ted Dansons. Even after he was off the air,
"Hawaii 5-O's" Jack Lord insisted that the scary and immobile black object atop
his head was his hair. And then there are those shocking examples where a
studio forces a proud baldy like Sean Connery to cover up with a rug for film
roles. (A discrimination lawsuit waiting to happen, if you ask me.) This is
clearly a super-sensitive area among Hollywood hunks and hotties.
"I'm sorry," I e-mailed my source. "I'm just not prepared to print such an
explosive allegation without further evidence."
My source went on a tear. Her sweetie is a man without much hair and she finds
it sexy, and she wants to unveil the closet cases to help remove the stigma.
She spent much of the day e-mailing me links of photos showing Ben Affleck's
curiously inconsistent hairline. She didn't stop there, though. She located a
source of astonishing information regarding rug wearers: a discussion board for
men who use various means of hair replacement.
Dear Readers, those of you who think that women have a monopoly on insecurity
about their looks should spend a little time in one of these tragic sites. The
discussion of plugs, rugs and drugs to add a few strands is simply
mind-boggling. And a major topic of fascination among them is celebs. In
addition to discourse on the great rug-wearers of yesteryear (Humphrey Bogart,
Charlton Heston, Frank Sinatra, to name but a few) they also discussed the
moderns: who does, who doesn't, if he wears a "unit," a "piece" a "system" and
which film he started in. They even discussed what brand of hair replacement
various celebs use. Here are a few samples:
"Al Pacino has had a few grafts but nothing else ... He just shaved his hair
for a movie and dyed it blonde ... looks quite hip. Everyone thinks David Spade
has a system...once again a few grafts is what I heard ... same with Dennis
Miller. The big one is Brendan Fraser ... everyone thinks he has a Farrell (I
dont know if he does ... Richard [a top rug weaver] will never say which stars
wear his systems ... He is in Hollywood and there definitely are some that do)
... well I do know that Brendan still has most of his own hair although it's
thinning ... so for the mummy movies he had extensions added to his own ...
most stars do that for different parts when in need of thick or longer hair. I
have seen him in a few interviews and his hair is noticeably thinner. "I have
seen Travolta in very bright lighting, and it sure looks like he is wearing a
traditional type of piece, but it is well done. William Shatner, also has the
best piece of his life. If you never saw him before, it would be undetectable."
I've got to hand it to my source, there was much, much discussion of Ben
Affleck's hair:
"I was on the treadmill at the gym on Friday, Ben Affleck was on Regis. He is
positively a hair wearer. The system was red when the lights hit his hair and
the hairline was not natural. When the camera showed the back of his head, it
was clumped together. . . I guess he did not check the back. I hope this makes
all my bald brothers feel better, we can still get women. "Ben Affleck's hair
is made by Coolpiece. My friend . says that he has a lot of hair loss in the
front portion of his head. Ben told my friend he loves COOLPIECE. "Your so full
of sh&%, Ben has no hair work you stupid dummy, I'm with SAG and have been an
extra in 2 of his films, & I am also good friends with Kevin Smith [a filmmaker
and actor who has worked with Affleck in films such as "Chasing Amy"] who is
laughing his ass off at your coolpiece bulls---t, OK, "Ben Say's He loves
Coolpiece" Shut your mouth......."
Yikes. Perhaps, Dear Readers, I am treading in a quagmire. Isn't what men put
on their heads in the privacy of their bathrooms their own business? On the
other hand -- I am a gossip columnist! I report on stars' weight and hair
color, their plastic surgery and collagen injections. Tom Cruise's braces made
international news. It is my duty to get behind the phony façade! Thus, I
bravely called Ben Affleck's spokesman and asked him the answer to this raging
debate. Actually, I was too embarrassed to make such an inane call, so I made
my producer, Ashley, my do it. I bravely watched.
"Well?" I said when Ashley finished the call. "What did he say?"
"He started laughing," she said. "He laughed for like two minutes and he said
things like, 'That's really funny.'"
"Well did he deny it? Did he give you a comment."
"He said, 'That's really funny. That's my comment.' "
See, Dear Readers, some subjects are just too hot to handle. Thus, I will leave
you with one of the links sent to me by Source:

You decide. Because, as you've proved in your e-mails to me, you are much more
clever than I. For I am merely,

Whiskey Bar while he was talking to Kristy Swanson. (a couple days
before he went into rehab a year or 2 ago) Not a chance he was wearing
a piece. As for the picture in the link - he is obviously a lot
younger there and as such had more hair.

This reminds me of an old story of a fat guy who was an athlete and
there was a scandal because it was revealed he was on steroids and
people started making fun of him saying he gave roids a bad rep
because his body looked like shit despite the roid use to muscle him
up. Well, if Nicholas Cage's hair is artificial in any way then I
shudder to think what his real hair would look like.
