  • Fashion alert! 80’s big hair is back! And L’Oreal’s Garnier Fructis and Kao Brands’ John Frieda are all over this horrible resurgence launching new “extra hold” products early next year.
  • Trump has threatened to sue ABC over an upcoming Primetime Live piece that is said to be less that kind to the business mogul. Many think ABC is just jealous it passed on The Apprentice.
