John C. Reilly's Extra Man Hair
Original: Build-A-Beard
Continuing what seems to be a Hollywood theme to this week's posts -- perhaps tied to the fact that Riss is headed to LA today, or perhaps it's serving as a reminder for B-a-B about our Beard Ball LA promise -- whatever the reason, the everything is fake in LA perspective is further reinforced when looking at celebrity beards, in movies that is...
John C. Reilly's version of the eccentric Gershon in the upcoming "The Extra Man" is a fantastic example of a (fake) beard. It's pretty awesome; bushy, curly, colorful and natural... just like we like it, only fake.
So given it's fakeness... we'll let Bryan Alexander of nbcconnecticut.com finish this post for us:

Dear Jon (Stewart)...
Original: Build-A-Beard
We love you, we always loved you, we love you even more now that you're embracing facial hair (even if in part, Go Beard or Go Home!)... but Jon... as we've noted, by way (THE) Jack Passion's bearding philosophy... Beardos need not explain their beards, nor reasoning for wearing a beard... a beard chooses you Jon, not the other way around.
That said, Jon's explanation as to why he went bearded is pretty funny:
"The truth is I'm a Japanese snow monkey. I've been hiding that from people and I can't live that lie anymore."
But... to his credit, Jon did indeed take "beard rubbing" to the next level this week, when he and Wyatt Cenac engaged in the act on 7/26... I consider this my Birthday present, thanks Jon.

Brad Pitt's Goat: A Eulogy
Original: Build-A-Beard
As everyone and their mother, girlfriend, sister (and so on and so forth) knows, Brad Pitt (of Brangelina fame) had been growing his much-discussed beard for about a year... and when he so clearly and significantly trimmed it down last month, we all knew he was preparing to get rid of it.
Well, earlier this month, the day finally came... I say finally because even though B-a-B is categorically against shaving, there is only one other thing that cuts us deeper... and that's black eyes to the facial hair aficionados everywhere.
Brad's beard drew so much criticism that we were afraid it would derail all the work our community has done in building up the profile of beards... we do not want to go back into the dark ages of beard hatred and pogonophobia, so if that means supporting Brad's shave... so be it.
That said, it was a pretty cool beard... RIP Brad Pitt's Goat, we hardly knew yee... you were infamous, which is like really really famous.

Robert Duvall Gets Low and Hairy
Original: Build-A-Beard
As if you needed another reason to love the seminal actor of such cinematographic behemoths like The Godfather, The Godfather Part II and Apocalypse Now... well, here are 5 more reasons we dig Robert Duvall, whom is promoting an independent drama “Get Low,” which opens in limited release on Friday.
1) He looks pretty bitchin with a beard (as if there was any doubt)!
2) He makes the bushy beard look natural... he accomplished this with the help of great makeup artists... the big beard above is actually fake (taking 45 minutes to an hour a day to apply), but attached to his own beard which was used later in the movie.
3) He has a "guy from Italy" who makes him his beards... freaking awesome... the lap of luxury, or should we say chin.
You can check out a nice Q&A with the man himself in the Wall Street Journal, here:

The Desperate Mustache
Original: Mustaches of the Nineteenth Century
There is a sad touch of desperation in this poor man's look. Perhaps he knows he is the target of an imminent mustache-napping plot. Can you imagine the horror of finding your mustache missing and a note demanding ransom stapled to your upper lip? To be set upon by the medical and natural perils of mustache stewardship is one thing--barbaric theft is quite another!
