You Might Want to Rethink
What About Man-Bob?

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).

32. Would Donald rather do Rosie or Jared Leto I wonder? Actually probably any of those guy pictured over her.

33. Layered hair equals Man-bob? Uh... The whole pretense of this article is irrefutably lame, it's just tragic that Rosie ODonnell's name and obvious cross cultural fugly equals "an ignorant homophobic remark." I'm more surprised you didn't get nailed for the RuPaul thing. I suppose the fact that Davey veets his pits makes it okay.

34. What kind of straight dude decides he's going to go to the bathroom and put on make-up in the morning? I don't get it. What a bunch of pseudo avante-garde queers. Especially that Wentz guy, Fall Out Boy sucks! Big Time! But so does the rest of the "rock" music that has came out between the new millenium and now. What a sad demise that rock has came down to sissy Cure wannabes in the '07 that play pop-punk worse than Blink-182 could ever be. No wonder Hip Hop dominates music... Guys like this make rock f***ing suck!

35. You people at TMZ are despicable. Your comments regarding Rosie O'Donnell are blatantly homophonic and I have already reported this incident to GLAAD as well as a few friends of mine. We are outraged and will not be reading your publication any longer. I will make it my duty to inform every GLBT and GLBT-friendly person I know about this.

38. #22 is quite correct in saying that Mr. Havok is a genius.
This article displays only the writers' biases and prejudices. Not in any way respectable.

40. I think Milo is the only one that can really pull it off. His is not too feminine and he doesn't pair it with that awful heavy black eyeliner. As for the rest...no comment.

41. Hey #14 - what do you mean AFI sucks "now"?

It's a recycled look from Robert Smith and every other 80s "emo" forefather.

It didn't work then. It doesnt work now. Miloe and Rosie shouldn't be anywhere near the other fools. Tho for the record, Rosie is a fool

42. Seriously... who cares? And Davey is prettier than you. Fact.

As, for that matter, is Pete.

This is a bit sad.

43. What happened to the manly men?? Now all you see is androdgony. I miss the time of strong men with solid bodies and men's hairstyles. If I'd want my man looking like a girl I'd be a lesbian or a transgender chaser.
