In a bizarre incident in Lucknow, India, a group of lawyers tied a youth to a tree, shaved part of his head, spat in his face and assaulted him for more than an hour.

Vinod, the 22 year-old victim, was allegedly invited to a local court to discuss a marriage that had been arranged for him.

When Vinod reached the court for his appointment, Ravindra Singh, the lawyer-relative, allegedly overpowered him with the help of some associates who are believed to be lawyers as well.

TV channels showed the lawyers tearing off the man’s shirt, tying him to a tree trunk and cutting bald patches into his hair. The 22-year-old victim was then beaten up.

According to police, Vinod was “punished” for not agreeing to marry a girl his lawyer-relative had suggested.  Vinod evidently was not yet ready for marriage and this is what appeared to have sparked the confrontation.

Local official K. Chandramauli said he ordered police to file a case against the lawyers. The Agra Bar Association said it was investigating the attack.

Lucknow is the capital city of the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. It has a population of over 2 million and it is the second largest urban centre in Uttar Pradesh after Kanpur.

Feel like an outcast?   Want to get away from it all?   How about a nice remote island vacation where you can forget about your hair loss?  That might be difficult if you happen to choose Bald Head Island as your vacation spot. That’s right, there really is such a place.

The southernmost of North Carolina’s cape islands, Bald Head Island is located at the confluence of the Cape Fear River and Atlantic Ocean.  This picturesque island offers 14 miles of unspoiled coastline, nearly 200 acres of maritime forest and the legendary Cape Fear.

There no cars allowed on the island and it has to be reached by a 20-minute passenger ferry ride from Southport, N.C., a distance of two nautical miles.

Since 1983, ownership, development and stewardship of the island has been entrusted to Bald Head Island Limited, owned by the George P. Mitchell Family.  Judging by their family picture I have a sneaky suspicion how they came up with the name.

The developers of Bald Head Island have taken careful steps to protect this natural and unspoiled island.  Of the island’s total 12,000 acres, 10,000 acres are dedicated nature preserves—forever protected in their natural states.

For people who are looking to get away from it all, Bald Head Island is a remarkable place with homes set in and around ocean beach, river beach, a picturesque harbor, a vast marsh, a championship golf course and a maritime forest.

Being in prison is no fun, but going bald in prison must really be hell.   That’s what prompted a prisoner in the UK to write a letter to the prison newspaper ”Inside Time” asking why he could not get the anti-hair loss drug Propecia in prison.

The prisoner, who was not named, wrote: “Can Inside Time tell me why Propecia would not appear to be available to prisoners through healthcare, as it is certainly available under the NHS.”

The newspaper submitted his question to Fiona Pearson of the UK’s Prison Service’s health service for an answer.

Her reply to the balding prisoner’s question was, “Propecia is only available on private prescription from GPs (general practitioners) in England, following a Department of Health consultation in 2000.”

Hopefully the doctors in England make jail calls.

The Iranian media is reporting that Iranian police are warning barbers against offering Western-style hair cuts or plucking the eyebrows of their male customers.

“Western hairstyles … have been banned,” the newspaper Etemad said in a front-page headline.

According to CNN, Iranian young men have in recent years started paying more attention to the way they look and dress, especially in affluent parts of the capital Tehran. Spiked up hair, by using gel, is known as the Khorusi (Rooster) style and some also use make-up.

Several hairdressers for men in Tehran reportedly offer hair cuts in the style of Hollywood movie stars and other Western celebrities. Clients can also have their eyebrows plucked.

These activities are now deemed un-Islamic and barbers who do not comply with the banning order might be closed down for a month and could even lose their permits to operate.

Men who get caught violating the law can receive lashes, fines and even imprisonment.

It’s unknown whether comb-overs are banned too, but it’s unlikely since they go back to the days of Julius Caesar.   One thing is for sure, Sanjaya better stay well clear of Tehran if he ever decides to go on an international concert tour.

A balding bank clerk in Hong Kong is in police custody after getting caught stealing $43,000 from a client’s dormant bank account.

According to court testimony, Alex Chan (32) stole the money to pay for hair loss treatments because he was “terrified of going bald”.

You might want to know why a man would need to steal money to pay for his hair loss treatments instead of just using his own money.   Well the answer is that Alex had already racked up debts of more than $16,000 on anti-balding treatments.

Chan’s fear of going bald apparently drove him to steal money from the dormant bank account at DBS, the bank where he worked.   He had intended to use the stolen money to pay off his previous debt and to buy more hair loss treatments.

His defense lawyer David Boyton told Hong Kong’s Eastern Court that Chan committed the crime out of “vanity, not greed,” and appealed for him to be spared a lengthy jail term.

Chan, who has since paid back all the money he stole, was remanded in custody until May 17 when he is scheduled to be sentenced, Thursday’s South China Morning Post reported.

The magistrate, William Ng, has requested that a psychological report on Chan’s fear of hair loss be prepared before he decides how to punish him.

LOS ANGELES – Halle Berry is going to be completely bald soon.

Fortunately for Berry it’s not from a disease or because she suffers from Androgenetic Alopecia.  Halle Berry will be shaving her locks for a new movie that could start shooting as soon as this summer.

In a press conference held last Wednesday in Los Angeles Berry said, “I’m going to shave my head bald. I can’t believe it”.

Berry will shed her hair for a new romantic comedy which is currently titled “Nappily Ever After.”

Halle plays a woman whose hair is starting to fall out and then decides to shave it all off. Afterwards she has to deal with people’s perceptions of who she is and how her hair defined her.

Berry said her character “is forced to look at what beauty is, and it comes from inside.”

What Berry will be pretending to feel is what millions of hair loss sufferers have to experience for real every day.

Halle’s plan is to shave her real hair on film and not to fake it by wearing a bald cap.

Unfortunately it will be more than a year before moviegoers will be able to see her go bald because a new script draft of “Nappily Ever After” was only recently completed.

This weekend’s WrestleMania 23 will have millions of viewers watching as one of two billionaires have their heads shaved on national TV.

Dubbed the “Battle of the Billionaires”, Donald Trump and WWE Chairman Vince McMahon signed on the dotted line on March 13 agreeing to the highly anticipated “Hair vs. Hair” match at WrestleMania 23. 

Each billionaire has a wrestler who will represent them in the match and the losing billionaire will lose his locks if his wrestler loses the match.  Donald Trump’s designated wrestler is ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley, and Vince McMahon’s designated wrestler is “The Samoan Bulldozer” Umaga.

If Lashley wins, Trump will shave off McMahon’s hair, but if Umaga wins, Trump will have his hair shaved off live in front of a worldwide pay-per-view audience and more than 75,000 fans at Ford Field in Detroit.

At first Trump, 60, was hesitant to participate. He said the 61-year-old McMahon persuaded him by making a “sizable” donation to charity. Both Trump and McMahon will donate their checks, an amount McMahon said should exceed $5 million. WrestleMania 23 already has topped $5 million in ticket sales, making it the highest grossing one-day live event in WWE history.

Stone Cold Steve Austin will police the “Battle of the Billionaires” as the special guest referee.

WrestleMania 23 will be broadcast on pay-per-view TV on Sunday, April 1, 2007 at 7 EST / 4 PST.
