Prior to putting on his sexy Bret Michaels™ hairpiece, "American Idol" wannabe Robbie Carrico's hairtastrophes were limited to spiky highlights.
Back in 2001, Robbie, who is this season's Timberfake, was a boybander in something called B-Factor and rocked his very own gelled locks.
Hair -- like fame -- can be a fleeting thing.

3. Now that the cat is out of the bag he really needs to lose that wig. There's just something weird about any man, let alone a young one with a wig on.

4. Did anyone see the story on Perez Hilton aks Maria Lavaneira, and how he got a 24 year old to send sex tapes of himself to Perez with Perez promising he would help the kid with his own celebrity blog website.

10. TMZ is too cruel. Just leave the guy alone. He obviously is self-conscious about his hair loss.

11. He looks better with the shorter hair. Don't he know you don't have to long hair to be a rock star?

13. People change...leave him alone. B-Factor was 10 years ago...Who here looks the same and hasn't grown up a bit since then?

15. Serioulsy you need to check your info before posting things, I went to high school with Robbie at THS in Titusville Florida and he does not wear a wig. He just straightened his hair for that night and it looks bad....come on people, it MUST be a slow news day.
