You have to hand it to guitarist Davey Johnstone, seen here performing this week with Elton John. Johnstone seems more than comfortable in his 1970s hairstyle. I guess rockers can get away with it . . .

Has anyone else noticed that since Allen Iverson stepped away from the NBA for the last year and a half that cornrows have basically disappeared? Well if you missed “A.I.” and the hairdo he helped turn into a popular fad, you’ll get at least two more games to see them in action.
Iverson announced on Wednesday he will be headlining the “Las Vegas Superstar Challenge” in mid-November. The mini tournament will feature Iverson as well as an impressive list of NBA players. So in the spirit of “A.I.’s” return, here is how to give yourself cornrows.
You go, boy.
For an entire generation, Billy Zane made it cool to be bald again. Like a lot of men are forced to do, BZ endured a public battle with progressive baldness. Rather than cowering in the face of it and getting into a public “walk off” that he couldn’t possibly win (unlike one D. Zoolander) , BZ didn’t get sucked into the “comb over” or even the godforsaken “Spray On Hair.”
Maybe it was his defined jaw line, or chiseled facial features but Billy Zane rocked it and Hollywood embraced it.
If you’re going bald, take the Billy Zane route- he invented the “cool bald guy look.” If it weren’t for Billy Zane, there would have never been a Jason Statham.
Troy Polamalu’s flowing mane is perhaps the most legendary in NFL history and the Head and Shoulders ad campaign championing his long locks is easily one of the most memorable marketing campaigns in the last ten years.
Yesterday, his hair and the campaign which forced its rise into full public view beyond the gridiron were both immortalized by the wax works of Madame Tussauds in New York City. The wax statue of the Steelers stud is dubbed “Legendaryous Troy” was unveiled yesterday and has double the amount of hair of any other wax figure ever created.

We know for sure that Tom Brady cut his hair. But thanks to a well-placed hat, we don’t know exactly what he’s got going on under there. How sweet would it be if he had Cornrows? Or a Mowhawk?
Just like David Patten, David Givens, Jabar Gafney or Randy Moss before Bieber, Tommy B. didn’t need the “Bieber” cut to make him. Which is why he “cut” ties with it. “Never Say Never”, Justin. You were a “passing” fad and your modified “Bowl Cut” wasn’t gonna bring him “Down To Earth”- the cut was a “One Time” thing. Now, you’ll just have to find “Somebody To Love.”
