Britain’s Princess Beatrice of York is putting the hat she wore to the royal wedding up for auction on EBay Thursday, hoping to raise several thousand dollars for charity. The Philip Treacy headpiece, which matched her blush ensemble, was probably the most chattered about of the day. And we don’t mean that in a good way. But the 22-year-old daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson knows the attention the hat received could translate into some funds for UNICEF and Children in Crisis. Hats off to that! [Telegraph]
Finally revealed: the secret of how Donald Trump styles the famous hair. ‘OK, what I do is, wash it with Head and Shoulders. I don’t dry it, though. I let it dry by itself. It takes about an hour. Then I read papers and things,’ he told Rolling Stone. ‘I also watch TV. I love Fox, I like ‘Morning Joe,’ I like that the ‘Today’ show did a beautiful piece on me yesterday -- I mean, relatively speaking. OK, so I’ve done all that. I then comb my hair. ... I get a lot of credit for comb-overs. But it’s not really a comb-over. It’s sort of a little bit forward and back. I’ve combed it the same way for years. Same thing, every time.’ [Rolling Stone]
