What About Man-Bob?

Posted Jan 25th 2007 1:32PM by TMZ Staff

Now that every Urban, Spade and Cojo has taken to sporting the Meg Ryan-spawned man-shag, a new haircut of mass destruction has reared its ugly head: The man-bob!

The Man-Bob Attacks
Once relegated to the likes of Dorothy Hamill and Posh Spice, now some of Hollywood's hottest hunks, like actor-turned-goth rocker Jared Leto (upper left), and "Heroes" star Milo Ventimiglia (upper right), are getting their locks sheared, shaped and flat-ironed into the feminine flip. How lovely!

Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz (lower left) has taken the emasculating man-bob a step further by also adding heavy eyeliner to the not-so-dandy do, while AFI's Davey Havok's (lower right) man-bob with fake eyelashes makes RuPaul look butch. Can you say Liza with a Z?

Before you start blaming these metrosexual messes for their bad bouffants, send your man-bob hate mail to the real person responsible for its 21st Century resurgence -- Miss Rosie O'Donnell (center).

16. It's an interesting look. But that one on the lower right side looks like celine dion after hotboxing it in a motel bathroom. And it looks like he stole a lot more than just his sister's eyeliner; blush, eye shadow, foundation, the works. FUGLY

I don't think Rosie minds being called a man. She probably makes her wife call her "Ross".

17. That thing is not called the man-bob. It's called the 'San francisco swoop'

19. Davey Havok is a genius. You trolls here will never understand.

And, though I agree it was a bitchy remark from TMZ about Rosie O'Donnel, what do you expect? This is a f***ing tabloid site with no actual merit.

And Havok really does rock the cut better than any of the folks here. He's been in the business longer than any of these, except for maybe O'Donnel. The man and his band deserve respect that a site like this and its loyal followers will probably never appreciate.

21. I am appalled and highly offeneded by this article. I just wanted to publically state that I will never again read TMZ because of the unnecessary homophobic remark made about Rosie O'Donnell.

22. Davey looks great with that cut, he recently has it in a shorter version but I agree he needs to forego the lashes. AFI was on SNL this past weekend where Davey was seen in all his sexaliciousness!

23. just so you know, milo mentioned in an E weekly article how much he HATES the haircut he's been given for the show. it's part of his character on heroes.

24. Pette Wentz: super hot
AFI guy: disgusting
Jared Leto: WTF happened to him? eawww!
Vilimiagnoto: Hmmm, ugly, I guess!

25. How sad you have to take a pic of Rosie that is at least 3yrs old and add it to a lame article.. pityful reporting.. can we say homophobic someone?
what a cheap shot.

27. 17, do you want him to go back to his devilock days? now that was an unattractive haircut.

29. "20. #12 Jennifer...buh...bye...it ain't gonna happen.

30. All these celebrities have nice manbobs for their looks. It recalls the early 1980s, when groups like Echo and the Bunnymen, A Flock of Seagulls and others donned that asymmetric look, but clashes with today's modern looks. Keith Urban's manbob is sharp and keeps him apart from his cowboy hat wearing country male competition. The lead singer of Fall Out Boy has a cool look. Rosie O'Donnell had a nice edgy manbob just after her talk show ended its run.
