When aging male rockers like Barry Manilow, Rod Stewart and Jon Bon Jovi need beauty advice, they turn to ... Barbara Walters?!
Barry Manilow, Rod Stewart, Barbara Walters, Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora,
The 77-year-old "View" host is fast becoming the go-to-ma'am for the latest in blown-out, wispy, ash blonde shag trends for the post-post-post-MTV crowd. When you're a graying Grammy winner, the Rosie man-bob just won't do! He bangs!

And for you men who find yourselves pushing 50 and beyond, but don't feel like going blonde, fear not -- the starched Walters Wave also comes in a lush Richie Sambora Chestnut Brown!

Only your hairdwesser will know for sure!

31. OMG, I can't believe some of these comments.....who are they from??? And where are they from???? Jon Bon Jovi is one of the hottest men alive.....the band still sounds great, RItchie looks good.......and Jon.....he nowhere near belongs in this conversation!!. And his hair never looked better..... suppose you experts would rather that they shaved their heads and shined them which seems to be the latest......I love you Howie.......but that head......ugh!!!! Give me that shaggie hair any time!!!!

32. To OneWildNight #30:

There's no doubt all this crap started when Richie divorced Heather and got engaged to Denise Richards. The point is, most of those Hollywood celebrities CAN'T WAIT and do their best to end up in the gossip circle. I don't know about Denise, but Richie never wanted that. Still, the press is being beyond MEAN and CRUEL to him, with no reason. Sure, the man doesn't exactly represent health, but that's because of a specific reason, it's not the one to blame, he didn't ask for all this crap he's going through. The man REALLY, REALLY loved Heather; so all this divorce thing, involving his beloved daughter too, just killed him. That's why he is the way he is now. Of course the gutter press is taking advantage of it, but it's not exactly a nice thing to do. And now they're starting to involve Jon too, as if he had ANYTHING to do with all this. I'm getting tired of this. That's not who they are, that's not what they deserve, that's not what they want. They're "just" musicians who want to do their jobs and keep their fans living a dream. I really hope all this crap will stop soon.

34. I am a huge fan of Jon Bon Jovi. Not only is he a warm individual, he has talent that has sustained the test of time. I do agree that Jon appears "washed out" at times. I personally don't like his hair VERY blonde. If asked to provide some constructive criticism, I would encourage him to loose that "ledge" he often has hanging in front of his forehead. Personally I like his hair in front a bit shorter. Overall he is so wonderful..He would need to change nothing to please me.
