George Michael looked sour at Sleuth's London premiere this weekend. Perhaps the gay singer's upset he didn't get to pose with the film's stars: director Kenneth Branagh and actors Michael Caine and Jude Law.

We'd be sour, too, George, but hopefully not as dry…

• Larry Craig to announce plans tomorrow. We bet he resigns.

• Speaking of bets. What are the odds Suzanne Craig will pull a Dina Matos McGreevey and tell all?

• Jude Law is playing gay onscreen. Again. We’re crossing our fingers that one day he'll see the light and convert to our side offscreen. [Pink News]

• Stephen King’s new novel Cell is supposed to be his first book with a gay hero. But we’ve always had our suspicions about the namesake in Carrie. That is if you consider a telekinetic murderess a hero. [After Elton]

• Al Reynolds sings show tunes to Star Jones. No surprise there. [Gawker]

• Zulkey chats with drag king/lesbian/author Norah Vincent (whose book is most definitely on Al Reynolds’ nightstand) about what were the most difficult things about acting masculine. [Zulkey]

What to do when those cherished hair follicles kamikaze their way down to the ground? Well a few things, but we have our own personal suggestions. Any gay man, correction, any man can spot a cheap toupee a mile away (The Donald!), so that’s definitely out. Hair Club’s plugs can be pricey and there’s no way to get out of the PMS-like regular monthly visits. And you already pop enough pills to risk adding Propecia to your Vicodin-filled medicine cabinet.

So just take it off.

Sure Vin Diesel stars in bad films (ok, they fucking blow) but the man knows what to do with a bad hairline. He goes chrome-dome. No pathetic comb over, no butchered buzz cut. It’s simple, clean, and sexy.

Before you go for the Mr. Clean look yourself, be sure to trim whatever is left down to a wiffle. Then go ahead and smear your head with a thick coat of shaving cream. Start shaving from the back and work your way forward. That’s really it.

It’s best if you have someone else do the shaving for you. When Jude Law’s widow’s peak inevitably morphs into a widow’s valley, you can bet he’ll have his nanny clean off his own head.
