Donald Trump's Hair Transplant

_

Donald Trump had a "scalp reduction" in 1991.

That's a now outdated procedure where they cut out your hairless bald patch and move a flap of the remaining hair strands to cover it.

So say Trump's ex-wife and the plastic surgeon above. The doc also has photos of some pretty sketchy plug and suture work.

Does this explain how The Don's truly wispy comb-over of the 1980s became the fully fledged raccoon pelt it is today?

LOST SONGS: I'm a Fool to Want You - Chet Baker

There's no better version of the moody noir love song I'm a Fool to Want You than Chet Baker's.

Here, it's matched with nicely edited images from Paris Blues, the 1961 flick about two jazz musicians who fall in love with two tourists.

Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier played the jazz guys, Joanne Woodward and Diahann Carroll, the women.

Bob Ezrin's at the piano.

Clip: Chet Baker - I'm a Fool to Want You

Film: Paris Blues ( 1961 ) 

Song: Jack Wolf, Joel Herron, Frank Sinatra

Crocodiles prefer rock

 

This is a thing?

 

 
"Behold the tush: the gluteus maximus, the largest muscle in the body, responsible for keeping the body upright. 

It has many names—buttocks, bum, derrière, fanny, rump, seat, keister, haunches, backside, buns—but, in the National Football League, tush is the term of the day. 

Butts can fumble and asses get whooped, but a pushed tush can earn you a first-and-ten. Just ask the Philadelphia Eagles.  

The tush getting the most attention belongs to Galena Hurts, the team's quarterback..."

                       --The New Yorker

No, Taylor Swift hasn't traded NFL hunks.

Turns out the Tush Push is that little butt shove that might change the score.
