Movie Star's Hair Plumps Up For New Role

Brendan Fraser raised eyebrows with his thick middle part in China over the weekend. Fraser, 38, was in Shanghai at a photo op to celebrate the last day of filming the third Mummy movie. The Evening Standard/Daily Mail made this 2003 and 2007 comparison:

While blogger DListed likened Fraser's new 'do to that of John Travolta.

Rachel Weisz opted out of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, and has been replaced by Maria Bello

I read this somewhere earlier and I don't have a source, so you don't have to trust me... but..

I was reading that they are already able to regrow hair, the drug just has to go through trials.

In 10 years hairloss will be a thing of the past. Just in time for me! All you 80's guys can get your mane of hair back. THE HAIRVOLUTION IS COMING!

Pity the balding man, it's a bitch.

Time to rock the Bruce Willis hair style.

What do you think anthropologists will think in a thousand years (if we can all stay alive until Jan. 20, 2009) when they dig through our cemeteries and find 2 bags of silicone right next to each other scattered about?

I'm sorry -- what exactly is wrong with a good looking guy wearing a decent hairpiece?

If every woman in Hollywood can go from bob to Lady Godiva in an afternoon and get compliments for it, why can't a man?

All this outrage is really silly and stupid.

Even a great hair transplant cannot cover up that amount of thinning.

Jeez I just don't understand it, with all their money they have to resort to cheap toupees when they can well afford good hair transplants, minoxidil and propecia.

That bald photo looks kinda fake. Where did it come from? I'm not a fan of BF's, so I don't really care one way or another - I just find it hard to believe that someone like him would be walking around looking like that in public.

I think his hair looks pretty, augmented as it is. Hair piece or implants ... what the hey. Hollywood is all about the looks, and a man has every right to stay competitive. Nothing pathetic about it.

Hey.. I would get plugs... Nothing wrong with keeping your head warm!

[Qbear]

OMG

Yes Virginia, movie stars do wear hair pieces...DUH!

Next you'll tell me they get eye and boob jobs.

Gene Simmons has me convinced that there is no such thing as saving face with long hair that you try and re-position (ala the 'Trump Comb-over') When his son Nick started making fun of him for not being able to walk with the wind at his back, for fear his hair would blow off his bald spot, I laughed. (and then cried..) Even as a rock star, the winds won't always blow the way you want them to, and not being able to walk in a forward motion because you're worried about your hair does seem rather......funny.
As far as the hot chicks go...what happens when one starts to run her fingers through Brendan or John's hair, and it falls off in their hands? How would that be for a first date?

[sa]

where did they get that?
how is it done?
how much?

sadly, i am the "before" photo - Damn you god!
for damning me!!!

p.s. where are all the hot chicks? answer: they aren't "before", they are "after".
