Hairstylist Refuses To Cut Governor’s Hair Because She’s Against Gay Marriage
Feb 22nd
For most hairstylists, a well-known and influential lady in government would be a dream client. But Antonio Darden, a hairstylist in New Mexico, has refused repeated requests to book appointments for Gov. Susana Martinez because he doesn’t like her stance on gay marriage.
Darden, who is gay, told KOB News that while he’s cut Gov. Martinez’s hair in the past, he told her aides that he wouldn’t cut the Republican politician’s hair this week because of her staunch opposition to gay marriage. Martinez’s office called Darden’s salon in Santa Fe asking him if he would do her hair, and he vowed not to touch her brown locks until she changed her mind about gay marriage. They called to ask again the next day to ask if he’d changed his mind about cutting the governor’s hair, and he turned them down again.
“I think it’s just equality, dignity for everyone,” Darden said. “I think everybody should be allowed the right to be together. My partner and I have been together for 15 years.”
There’s not a lot of politics in hair styling, but we’re glad Darden took this opportunity to make a statement. He explains it all in the video below.

Hillary Clinton Missed The Memo About Wearing White For This Picture
Feb 22nd
You know how embarrassed you get when you end up wearing the wrong thing to a party? Well picture wearing the wrong thing to a party hosted by government officials from the world’s most powerful nations, and you might come close to feeling the pain Secretary of State Hillary Clinton felt during this weekend’s G20 meeting.

Clinton, who’s been having her fair share of good style moments over the past few months, made a serious faux pas in a group shot with the other G20 Foreign Ministers, all of whom descended on Los Cabos, Mexico to discuss everything from drilling for oil and natural gas to greener ways to grow food. Clinton looked especially green when she donned a chartreuse Nehru collar jacket for the photo, in which everyone else wore simple white shirts.

But instead of feeling an appropriate level of shame for not toeing the party line, Clinton giggled at her mistake. State Department officials say that she wasn’t breaking a rule and didn’t know everyone else would be wearing white, which means she must have literally missed the memo on this one. And while we think a different cut of jacket would have been more flattering (you know, maybe something with like a lapel?), we can’t stay mad at her. Because at least she stood out.
Take a look at all the hilarity below.

Adele Gives Middle Finger At Brit Awards, Might Be Engaged
Feb 22nd
Adele had a very big night last night! The songstress walked the Brit Awards red carpet wearing Burberry — and possibly an engagement ring. She then went on to win two awards at the show, where she was rudely interrupted during one of her acceptance speeches.
First let’s discuss this ring business. Adele sported not one but two sparklers on her left ring finger last night. One was a diamond band, while the other involved a huge yellow stone:
However! She wore a different (though equally sparkly) ring on her left ring finger at the Grammys earlier this month:
Maybe she just likes wearing rings on that finger? Or maybe she really is engaged to boyfriend Simon Konecki? In her Vogue profile she did make mention of marriage:
“I am fucking off for four or five years. If I am constantly working, my relationships fail. So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy. And then I don’t know what I’ll do. Get married. Have some kids. Plant a nice vegetable patch.”
Hmmm. And about that rude interruption — WTF Brit Awards? National treasure Adele wins the biggest award of the night (album of the year!) and goes on about how proud she is to be British, and they CUT HER OFF. (FOR BLUR!) As such, she flipped them off. [Note: Unlike Justin, I'm cool with the occasional middle finger. It also feels especially deserved in this case!] Here, look:

Kate Moss Paralyzed?!
Feb 22nd
Imagine waking up in a strange city and not having any feeling in one of your limbs. Friends of Kate Moss say that’s exactly what happened to her during a trip to Paris this weekend.
The supermodel was staying at The Ritz when she woke up and didn’t have any feeling in one of her arms. Her friends told The Daily Mail that she panicked (and understandably so — we would have lost our minds) and called for the hotel’s doctor. When she got back to London, she saw another physician for a second opinion, and it turns out she has a pretty common nerve disorder called an ulnar nerve entrapment. (If you’re not currently taking a college anatomy class, you should know that your ulnar nerve is the one that runs down the back of your forearm, so Moss is essentially suffering from one hell of a hit to her funny bone.)
It’s a common ailment, and Moss’s doctors say she’ll make a full recovery. Still, friends say that for right now, she can’t even manage to open a jar. Which means she probably won’t be able to take on any modeling gigs over the next few months, or even help her husband Jamie Hince move into their new home in Highgate.
‘Jamie will do most of the unpacking as Kate has been in a lot of pain,’ says the friend. ‘She was told the condition could take months to heal. She has told all her friends about her hospital drama.’
Still, what could be better than a few months of bed rest and the full and unimpeachable right to order people around your house? Nothing we say. Nothing.
