5 Male Celebrities Who Are Wearing Wigs That Are All Too Apparent.

We get it. Celebrities are under tremendous pressure all the time to look their best. Not just when they are at red-carpet events. They are followed by swarms of paparazzis everywhere they go. This means they need to look good even when they are doing mundane tasks such as picking up groceries.

One of the sure-fire ways to ensure you don’t have a bad hair day is to wear a toupee or a wig. While some male celebrities are donning them like a boss, others are giving out their wig secret all too easily. No, we are not talking about Trump. There is no evidence that the golden feline on his head is actually a hair piece. We are talking about celebrities who proudly wear wigs in public that look all too much like artificial hair. In our quest to find people who are secret Dolly Parton fanboys, these are 5 male celebrities guilty of wearing all-too-obvious hair pieces.
Chuck Norris, who else?
Chuck Norris
Much like everything else he does, Chuck tops this list too. We really don’t know if he has a collection of cheap lace front wigs or that’s hair transplant performed by an actual drunken monkey. All we know is that thing deserves a standing ovation from all the bad wigs out there.
John Travolta.
John Travolta
Back in 2011, John was balding like an American eagle, now he rocks a mid-parted hairdo that would put rockstars to shame. What’s the secret behind his hairy transformation? We believe it’s a lace front wig. He is not hiding it well either.
Jason Alexander, with hair.
Jason Alexander
Honestly, no one would have guessed Jason Alexander wore a wig if they saw him for the first time. Having played Seinfeld’s George Costanza for more than a decade, his famous bald look is known to all. So, when Jason decided to wear a toupee back in 2014, let’s just say he received a bit of criticism. For no fault of the wig itself, Jason’s hairdo was immediately declared as fake. The strong public reaction is why Jason managed to secure a place on our list.
Nicolas Cage.
Nick Cage
Nicolas Cage has hair that looks just as natural as the ones on the heads of celebrities at Madame Tussauds. Back when Cage was known for starring in blockbuster movies he had a famously balding look. As his movie career took a dive his hair magically started to grow. Now, he has a full head of hair. Fortunately, the mystery of the magical hair growth is made all to obvious by the wig.
Charlie Sheen.
Charlie Sheen
The lovable bad boy of Hollywood has faced his fair share of criticism and social media outrage. His offscreen antics somehow manage to eclipse the disaster that is his wig. His aging facial features coupled with that college-boy hair looks mismatched, to say the least. However, Charlie was always a straight shooter, except for the times he wasn’t. Being a sport that he is, he openly admitted wearing wigs for his famous gig on Two and a Half Men.

Amazing Tips to Remove Hair Dye From Your Skin.

Remember Kate Winslet in the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? Her powerful, yet eccentric character beautifully complemented by changing colors of her hair, from electric blue to fiery red, Kate Winslet set the trend for hair colors back in the days.

A piece of trivia about the movie - she did not dye her hair but used different color wigs for the role. Imagine the amount of dye that would’ve stained her skin had she dyed her hair? Since dye stains are literally annoying in their stubbornness, maybe that was one of the reasons the director avoided using hair dyes.
Blue-haired Clementine.
If you have colored even some of your hair, you know how tricky these pesky hair dye stains can be. They make you hole up in your house until you have gotten rid of them. Your social life gets affected and god forbid if you have an interview, meeting, or presentation at the office.

If you were to know some amazing tips to remove hair dye from the skin, wouldn’t it make your life a little bit easier?

7 Tips to Remove Hair Dye From Your Skin
Lemon
A bit of lemon is like a universal solution to so many skin related ailments. The citric acid in lemon helps to break down the complex dye molecules and dissolves them.

Fabhow says that all you need to do is cut a lemon in half and rub one half over the stain for some time. In a minute you will notice the dye breaking down and getting off.

Toothpaste
Containing a combination of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide - both effective stain removing ingredients - your simple white toothpaste is effective in removing dye stain. Moreover, it won’t irritate your skin. Apply some toothpaste on the affected area and use a cotton pad to remove the stains.

Oil based removers
Always to the rescue of people with sensitive skin are oil based removers. Simply put, you can use products like petroleum jelly or olive/baby oil to remove stains from temporary and permanent dyes respectively. They do not affect the sensitive skin or your face.

Dip the cotton ball in olive or baby oil and rub it continuously on the stain for some time. Don’t use bare hands to rub the olive oil (or any oil based product) as it might stain your hand. After some time you will notice that it is breaking down the dye, even the most stubborn one.

Baking Soda and Dishwashing Liquid
This combination is recommended if you have to apply it on your hands but not on your face. Also, people with sensitive skin can avoid this if they have a reaction to baking soda.

Add equal amounts of baking soda and dishwashing liquid and make a paste out of them. Apply the paste gently on the stain and use a cotton ball/ pad to scrub it gently. After some time when you feel the dye is off, rinse the skin with warm water.

Rubbing alcohol/ Hand Sanitizer
Using rubbing alcohol is another effective strategy to counter any stubborn stains on your skin. First, try rubbing it a little on your skin and see if your skin is sensitive to it. If your skin is not sensitive to it, then you’ll have no problem in getting rid of the stains. Just dab a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and rub it over the stain for some time and you will see it coming off.

If your skin is sensitive to rubbing alcohol you can try the same with hand sanitizer. Remember, only use a simple alcohol-based sanitizer, not a fancy one like those with aloe vera extracts or any other ingredient. Do not use either of the remedies on your face.

Nail Polish Remover
Those who do not have sensitive skin can try using this - but only as a last resort since acetone can be harmful if it stays on the skin for a long duration. Wash it off at the first sign of irritation. The application method is the same. Apply some on a cotton ball and as you remove your nail polish, just rub the acetone-laced cotton ball over the stain. The stain will definitely come off.

Cigarette Ash 
Now, this can be a really gross or equally intriguing method to get rid of the stains. It totally depends on whether or not you can stand the smell of cigarette ash. As this old wives' tale is not junk, it really works.

If you can withstand the smell, dilute the cigarette ash with a bit of water and apply the mixture to the stain. Use a cotton ball to rub it over the stain. You will see the stain coming off in a few minutes. Wash your skin with mild soap and warm water.

Precautions
  • In any case, do not use any of the above remedies near your eyes. The eyes are the most sensitive organs, so keep it away from any stain-removing remedies. Make sure the dye does not get in any area surrounding your eyes.
  • If you have sensitive skin, refrain from using any remedies that are harsh on the skin like nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol. Specifically avoid industrial solvents like turpentine oil or kerosene.
  • Put boundary of any kind between hairline and the skin that does not allow the dye to trickle down.
  • Put petroleum jelly or conditioner in vulnerable areas to avoid them getting stained in the first place.
  • Use gloves while dyeing your hair and the same goes for when dyeing a fabric.
  • Patience is the best remedy, as every dye stain eventually rubs off.

3 Reasons Why You Need a Monitored Home Alarm System.

A home alarm system doesn't just protect your home, it protects you, your family members, your pets, and even your neighbors. Studies show that homeowners who have visible, actively monitored home alarm systems are less likely to be burglarized or vandalized, and that protection extends to their immediate neighbors. By installing an alarm system in your home, and having monitoring services from a company such as www.alarmrelay.com, you're protecting your home and everyone and everything in it - from burglary, robbery, vandalism, fire, and more. Here are three famous reasons why you need an alarm system:
Jon Bon Jovi.
1. Even Bon Jovi can be robbed.
A man by the name of Nicholas Tracy found Jon Bon Jovi's New Jersey shore-side home, managed to break in undetected, and made off with 100 thousand dollars worth of precious jewelry. While he was eventually caught because he ran out of luck when he tried to rob a neighbor of Jon Bon Jovi's, you can guarantee that the singer had an alarm system installed afterward, and to this day probably still doesn't sleep quite as soundly as he used to.

P Diddy.
2. Puff Daddy has a creepy stalker.
Puff Daddy aka Diddy has the misfortune of being overly-admired by Quamine Taylor, a man who has broken into the Diddy Mansion numerous times. Oddly enough he never stole anything. But perhaps more creepy is the fact that instead of making off with electronics, money, and jewelry, Taylor decided to live like Puff Daddy by wearing his clothes, sleeping in his bed, and eating his food. After he was finally caught, it was discovered that an unarmed basement entrance was his way in. Diddy has since beefed up his security system.

Kate Moss for Rimmel.
3. Kate Moss was robbed while she slept.
While Kate Moss, her boyfriend, and her mother were fast asleep in the comfort and seemingly secure haven of the Moss home, several thieves broke in and made off with over 140 thousand dollars worth of artwork. The thieves were never caught, and Kate Moss' lack of a home security system definitely contributed to the ease in which the thieves were able to get in and out with no one being the wiser.

'Suits' star Gabriel Macht to visit Ormoc for Project Wonderful.

Oh yes, you read it right! Another Hollywood star is coming to town - to Ormoc, Leyte, to be exact.

Gabriel Macht known the world over as legendary law practitioner Harvey Specter in the provocative television drama 'Suits', is confirmed to arrive in the Philippines on 8 March 2014 to visit Ormoc in the province of Leyte.

His visit is made possible by Globe Telecom, the country’s leading telecommunications company, in fulfilling its commitment of building a wonderful and resilient Philippines through its Project Wonderful nation-building efforts by helping Typhoon Haiyan survivors in Ormoc City, Leyte.
'Suits' lead star Gabriel Macht is scheduled to arrive in Ormoc City
to raise awareness and financial aid for survivors of Typhoon Haiyan.
In partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Globe has been granting business to beneficiaries identified by DSWD as part of its Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP), a community-based capacity-building program that seeks to improve the socio-economic status of program participants.

“We are committed to contribute to nation-building by providing relevant entrepreneurship and livelihood opportunities among typhoon Yolanda survivors in Ormoc City so they can rise again and move forward,” said Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu. “We hope that through this project, we will be able to teach them to manage sustainable micro-enterprises that will help them move from survival to self-efficiency,” he added. 

Project Wonderful is thankful to Mr. Gabriel Macht for coming in to support us.”

As part of its Project Wonderful program, Globe takes strides in rebuilding the nation with initiatives which will benefit schools, homes, and livelihood opportunities. Bringing global attention to its commitment to livelihood, Project Wonderful is hoping that through the support of a high- caliber actor such as Macht, more support will come in months to come.

“Witnessing the devastation of typhoon Haiyan, I felt compelled to raise awareness and financial aid to help thousands of people still struggling to get back on their feet. There is so much work still to do. I'm excited to be a part of rebuilding and I'm hoping that so many more will join the effort,” Macht shared.

Project Wonderful is a program that reinforces Globe Telecom’s commitment to subscribers, businesses, and the nation. Project Wonderful has three (3) pillars: Nation-building, which aims to build a wonderful and resilient country with programs that will rebuild homes and schools as well as provide livelihood opportunities to individuals and families in need, Culture-building, which shapes Globe to become a more customer-centric organization, fueled by a common passion to help and live a culture of service guided by its renewed mission, vision, and values, and Brand-building, which brings to life the telco’s passion and commitment to the customer as a strong challenger brand that leads the industry with innovative and relevant products and services.

Three Afro-American celebrities that have had cosmetic work done.

Love it or hate it, cosmetic procedures are a part of life these days. Celebrities of all ages and race, including many Afro-Americans, are having work done to perfect their looks – but who has been tinkering with Mother Nature? Here are three well-known Afro American celebs that have had a tweak here and there:

Kelly Rowland 
Kelly Rowland is arguably one of the most beautiful women in the world and, at a first glance you might think she is au naturel. But look a little closer and you’ll see the former Destiny’s Child star and X Factor judge has had her boobs enhanced. That’s right; this glamourpuss opted for a breast enlargement back in 2007 telling Cosmopolitan UK: “It’s something I really wanted to do for myself – not for a man, not for work, for myself. And I love them!” During breast enhancement surgery, implants are inserted into the chest by a reputable surgeon and this gives the patient a more voluptuous appearance.

Jennifer Hudson 
She’s a huge star in Hollywood, but even Jennifer Hudson has had a little cosmetic help in the form of lip fillers. According to the Daily Mail, the actress made the admission during an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Oprah’s Next Chapter, saying: “When I did Dreamgirls, I actually had to get my dent right here injected because it was affecting the lighting. And when I got it done the doctor was like, ‘I don’t want to do this do you realise people come in here and pay to have the lips you have naturally.’ And I was like, ‘I don’t want to, but I have to for the movie.’

Janet Jackson 
It’s no secret that Janet Jackson had a nose job when she was sixteen, but she’s also rumoured to have had a boob job, multiple liposuction sessions – and it seems plastic surgery runs in the family. Not only did Michael have multiple rhinoplasty procedures, but his sister La Toya appears to be following the trend. If your compare old and new pictures of the star, you can see that her nose looks considerably different and seems to be thinner than ever. It’s thought she may have also had cheek implants and giving the family history – would anyone really be surprised?

Surgical and non-surgical procedures are available at clinics across the world. They can permanently change the way you look and boost your confidence (if done correctly) – but would you have any work done?

Five Famous Movie Car Chases.

There's more to a chase scene than cars going fast with an attitude of menace. The setting has to work, the personalities of the drivers has to come into it and the outcome has to be satisfying.
Tokyo Drift.
The Italian Job.
It's personal. The bad guy did away with Charlize Theron's dad. He has to pay. Charlize and four friends decide to take all of his gold. They do it with lot's of explosives and a fleet of Mini Cooper's. They drive through subway stations, sewers, the L.A. river and a shopping mall. The villain follows in a helicopter, going through a parking garage, not the roof of the garage, but the inside where the headroom is less than what you find in a tight hat.

The French Connection.
The chase scene is famous for bad planning. Gene Hackman follows a train running on an overhead train track by driving underneath it. At one point, a woman with a baby carriage walks across the road and Hackman has to wrestle the car to a stop. The woman wasn't part of the film. She's a real woman with a real baby.

Bullitt.
The chase scene in Bullitt was the first one with muscle cars and really good sound effects. The only music is the sound of pre-emission controlled V8's in Steve McQueen's 1968 Mustang and the 1968 Dodge Charger driven by two hit men over the hills of San Francisco. The two cars duel with other with shotguns, good driving and McQueen-strength cool. Eventually, McQueen chases the two villains off the road into a gas station.

Vanishing Point. 
The Vietnam vet has to drive a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 Magnum, from Denver to San Francisco in 15 hours. The angst and hopeless feeling of the movie reflect Viet Nam era America. The driver doesn't have to speed. He doesn't have to take chances, but he needs to turn off the voices in his head. It isn't all depressing. His girlfriend drives a motorcycle without any clothes. The girl doesn't have the clothes, not the motorcycle.

Two James Bond Chase Scenes.
In "Tomorrow Never Dies" James Bond, played by Pierce Brosnan, drives a BMW 750i by remote control. Bond finds his car surrounded by nasties with machine guns. He turns on the remote control and dives in the back seat, safe from the hail of bullets He evades the men with guns by firing a volley of small missiles with lots of explosions, flames and hurtling glass. He jumps from the car and sends it flying off the top of the parking garage into a car rental agency.
In "Goldeneye", Bond, again played by Brosnan, drives a Russian T-55 tank, bursts through a brick wall and chases Russian bad guys through narrow city streets, showing us again how little the walls of buildings mean to a dedicated man with a really, big, heavy tank to drive.

Written by Alex Kurt. Alex is a motor enthusiast. He has recently purchased his dream car, a BMW M5, online and is ready to bid farewell to his old used Mazda. He also loves vintage car and organizes vintage car shows in his local area.
