Wigs. Rugs. Plugs. Bird's nests. No matter what you call them, a hair piece is a hair piece is a hair piece. Women use hair extensions and wigs all the time, and believe it or not, men do too -- especially men in Hollywood. You might not know it, but some of the biggest names in town were once bald, and now ... aren't.
Like Steve Carell, for instance. He was losing his hair when The Office first started, now the funny man's got gorgeous, flowing locks. Magic!
Even though Ted Danson's hair is still a bit thin, the venerable actor used to have a large bald spot on the top of his head. Maybe he likes to keep his money from Cheers, Curb, and Damages where he can see it -- on top of his head.
Now this is entirely speculative, but is this some sort of rug? I don't understand this hair. There have been some rumors that the actor is actually bald, so it's possible Ben Affleck's full head of hair is actually a full head of someone else's hair. But he's hot regardless. Especially in a Boston College t-shirt.
Jeremy Piven: hair today, gone tomorrow. The Entourage star has reportedly had hair transplant surgery.
Our Vice President Joe Biden has magical powers -- he was close to completely bald in the 1980s, now look at him! It's like his hair never left.
Who's got one thumb and a million hair pieces? This guy. When John Travolta was spotted without his wig on vacation, bald men everywhere let out a sigh of relief.
Can you think of any celebs who may or may not be wearing rugs?

I'm sorry but there is a big difference between hair extensions and travolta who goes from a full head of hair from a wig to completely bald in the front. It's normal for people to go from short to long hair, hence extensions, but going from bald to full head of hair, eh not so much. I don't have a problem with wigs in holywood, sure know yourself out, but don't do both. Pick one travolta, either stick with the illusion that you have hair, or be bald, but pick one.
I love my man's bald head!
Anyway, it could be that some of these stars are using Rogaine (or Rogaine-type products), which does not cause new growth but prevents the hair you have from falling out. Dunno. I'm kinda bummed that my pretend-boyfriend, Steve Carell, is cheating in the hair department.
Ben Affleck??? Say it ain't so!!
John Travolta with a rug? Wow. I don't care who's bald or who has a rug or partial hairpiece! John is hot! So are a lot of other guys with rugs, as long as the rugs look good. Who wants something that looks like a rat's nest on their head? LOL! Look at the famous men with rugs...Sean Connery, Burt Reynolds, William Shatner just to name a few. I'm all for a man in a rug or bald. It's the self confidence that comes through. Telly Savales shaved his head bald and women died for him. They thought he was hot! Look at Yul Brennar. He shaved his head for a movie and then continued to shave his head bald. Who cares, rug or not...it's up to the man.
