			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I guess I sound like an old curmudgeon, but is anyone else sick of the whole Leno vs.Conan thing? I go to CNN  today and there it was again. I for one, am sick of it. I don&#8217;t watch either of them that much anyway. I know my age is showing when I say this- but I only recognize about half of the &#8220;celebrities&#8221; that Jay Leno has on his show. I don&#8217;t keep up with all the stars of &#8220;Twilight&#8221;- (the vampire movie) or Paris Hilton. I knew even fewer of them on Conan; not to mention, that I just don&#8217;t think his comedy is very comic. I&#8217;d say it was a generational thing. However, Amanda(24) and Nathan (21), in our family don&#8217;t care for him either. Maybe they&#8217;re  anomalies. I don&#8217;t know. All I know if that I&#8217;m sick of hearing about both Conan and Leno.</p>
<p>Besides, unless I&#8217;m very confused, Conan O&#8217;Brien is getting around $30,000,000 to walk away and take a vacation until September. That is just so sad. It&#8217;s almost tragic. Maybe his fans can orchestrate a telethon for him. Whether he&#8217;s been treated fairly or not doesn&#8217;t really matter anymore. It&#8217;s over. He knows it&#8217;s over and seems to be taking the high road now. Why can&#8217;t his fans let it go?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have something I want to say that is totally unimportant in view of what is going on in the world today; but it bugs me- big time. Why do so many male celebrities turn themselves into Howdy Doody as they age? What is with that? It makes me absolutely crazy. If they didn&#8217;t have red hair when they were younger, why in the world would they want it now? Do they all secretly yearn to be Conan?</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4415" title="robert_redford blond" src="http://bodaciousboomer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/robert_redford-blond.jpg" alt="robert_redford blond" width="195" height="253" /></p>
<p>When I was younger and so was he, I thought Robert Redford was the &#8220;best thing since sliced bread.&#8221; (You can insert your own witty description instead if you&#8217;d like.) Beautiful smile, big blue eyes, and gorgeous blond hair. Did you see him in Butch Cassidy? Have you seen him lately? This is NOT a good look for him. I&#8217;ve seen Maury with reddish hair, not quite as red at RR.  Arnold, the Terminator has had reddish hair too. Do they really think this looks good? Frank Gifford who&#8217;s older than my mom was has red hair now also. I think he&#8217;s in his 80&#8242;s.</p>
<p>A lot of us are choosing to alter our hair color as we age, both women and men. I have no problem with that at all. Do what makes you feel good about yourself. As I&#8217;ve said, when I really want to make a drastic change,<a href="http://bodaciousboomer.com/2010/01/whats-your-radical-change-for-the-new-year/" target="_blank"> I&#8217;ll go electric blue </a>or maybe even neon pink. At least folks will know that that was a change I really wanted to make and not just a mistake. I know  I&#8217;ll never go blond. I tried on a blond wig once. (I looked like I&#8217;d taken the <a href="http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/clips/velvet-jones-school-of-technology/2750/" target="_blank">Velvet Jones</a> home study course.) I just don&#8217;t have the skin tone to be a blond. On me it looks cheap and unnatural, which it is. These guys don&#8217;t have the skin tone to be redheads. The celebrities all have enough money to go in for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_highlighting" target="_blank">lowlights.</a> I wonder why in the world they&#8217;re not doing it instead of drastically changing the color from what they were born with?</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4416" title="Robert Redfordx-wide-community" src="http://bodaciousboomer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Robert-Redfordx-wide-community-300x227.jpg" alt="Robert Redfordx-wide-community" width="300" height="227" /></p>
<p>I realize that the one time I took Doug into the combo nail shop and hair salon it didn&#8217;t turn out well. You may remember that I wrote about when <a href="http://bodaciousboomer.com/2009/07/highlights-and-lowlights/" target="_blank">he looked like Art Fern</a>. I should&#8217;ve just done it at home like I had before. When the lowlights are done well, it takes at least 10 years off his looks. He likes it too. (Although he&#8217;d never admit to anyone outside this house.)</p>
<p>I&#8217;m thinking maybe these male celebrities are just splitting up a big multi pack of Miss Clairol they someone picked up at Costco. There has to be some reason for this. There just has to.</p>
