All the celebrities have their specific peak period when they are at the top of the world. Fans love them; their colleagues can’t stop ravishing about them and the media just adores every act of them. But when they fall, they hit the ground very hard. With the end of their peak period, nobody wants to talk about them.
And that makes them insecure and then they start doing lot of weird things – only to catch the attention and stay in the limelight. Megan Fox seems to be the latest star to have learned this art and seems to follow Angelina Jolie.
Recently I was reading an article that said that Megan Fox was a cutter in her teens. It should be noted that this girl has been worshiping Angelina Jolie and has been following her footsteps. So is this another tantrum from Megan just because Angelina was a cutter in her past days? What do you think?

Tyra Banks natural hair has been a hotly discussed topic amongst many. While very few people who are close to Tyra knew the secret behind her hair, others were busy in speculating.
Many men and women have had a feeling that she does not have healthy natural hair and uses wigs and extensions. There’s nothing wrong in their perception because whenever Tyra has appeared in public events, she has always used wigs. Be it walking the ramp or attending parties, everyone knew that she used extensions and wigs to flaunt her hairstyle and that they were not Tyra Banks real hair.
But recently, she surprised everyone by appearing on The Tyra Show with her original hair. Without any hesitation, she appeared on stage and sported her original hair which looked perfectly natural. She possesses very normal hair that is similar to any African American woman.
To commensurate this great moment for natural African American hair, Scissorboy brings you a very special episode featuring more ideas for getting natural African American Hairstyles with Ms. Keeli Harris from Kandills Salon and Spa in Oakland, CA.
Keeli calls this hairstyle a clipper over comb short cut which leaves the option of leaving her natural african american hair, very much like Tyra did by revealing the Tyra Banks Natural Hair look to kick off the new season of her talk show last night to the world.
I think you will agree that Keeli does a tremendous job in keeping her clients natural hair flattering yet allowing them to add a little bit of spice to their natural african american hairstyles.
Congratulations to Tyra Banks for having the courage to don her natural African American hair and inspire other women to do the same. For more information on Tyra Banks Natural hair, natural african american hair and ideas on how to get Tyra Banks real hair SUBSCRIBE to the whole FREE series.
