Reason #234 I'd Never Wear a Wig

Obviously wearing a wig is hazardous to your mental health. May I present Exhibit A?:

I'm not sure if it is the fact that the scalp doesn't get enough exposure to oxygen and sunlight or if the actual structure of the wig squeezes the capillaries too tightly or maybe, just maybe, there's toxins in the glue, but Star Jones isn't a stupid woman. Arrogant, obnoxious, loud, tacky, overbearing, self-obsessed, yes, but stupid? No. So, there has to be some other reason for her stupidity beyond all reason for thinking that it was a good idea and a smart career move to take a big ol' screw you swipe at Barbara Walters on live television. I mean, you can think that maybe she was getting some bad advice--obviously she's got some terrible synocphantic people working for her or she'd never have tried the whole "pay for my wedding" or "I'm an author" gig or the most offensive of all "Star! on the red carpet" travesty--but I can sort of see where those ideas might have had a positive spin on them to someone who has no qualms about putting her own portrait in her bathroom. There's no excuse, no logical reason to think that anything good was gonna come out of trying to play the martyr and paint Barbara et al as the enemy.

So, it has to be the wigs. Never wear a wig, my children, never wear a wig.
