Another fan defended the singer writing, 'The man is stressed.. leave him alone.' Lots of people in the quote tweets also recognized that younger people might regret what they say about balding men in the future. 'gen Z genuinely does not seem to grasp the concept of aging. the idea of being 30 is unimaginable to them. good luck lol,' one person wrote.
Justin Bieber's appearance has had a lot of changes over the years, and he's recently been sporting a buzzcut or wearing a beanie. Nonetheless, it's really common for men in their early 30s and late 20s to be balding. According to the American Hair Loss Association, two-thirds of American men will experience some degree of noticeable hair loss, and by the age of fifty, approximately 85% of men will have significantly thinning hair.Justin Bieber's hair used to be everything in the cultural zeitgeist. When he rose to fame, the Bieber haircut was the trend where men would put their swooping hair over their eyes. 'It's a calculated move' to cut his hair, Randy Sosin, a former executive at MTV and Interscope Records, told WSJ in 2011 when the singer was 16. 'His hair is not that different, he's not changing it that much, but he's making it more of an event. Everything he does is something.'
In fact, Justin just debuted his buzzcut earlier this year in March. His other iconic hair eras include a pompadour, sleek combovers, cornrows, and locs. So it wouldn't be surprising that he would be constantly evolving his hair. However, men still struggle with body image issues when it comes to their hair. 'When someone looks in the mirror,' psychologist Sue McHale told the Guardian, 'often the person they see is someone they no longer recognise. It can leave your self-image fractured, dramatically changed.'Best of StyleCaster

Are electric scooters safe? A rash of injuries, deaths raises concerns.
The growing popularity of e-scooters has been accompanied by skyrocketing numbers of injuries. SAN FRANCISCO – A 77-year-old man was killed after being hit by an electric scooter while crossing a street in downtown San Francisco in July, the type of serious scooter-pedestrian collision the city's police department calls 'uncommon.'' Other types of e-scooter accidents that result in a trip to the emergency room, however, are becoming all too frequent across the nation. The growing popularity of electric scooters – easily accessible for commuters to reach their final destination or tourists to enjoy sightseeing – has been accompanied by skyrocketing numbers of injuries, typically to the riders and at times to others in their way. A 2023 report by the Consumer Product Safety Commission revealed that from 2017 – when the devices were first introduced at scale – through 2022, the U.S. recorded 360,800 ER visits related to e-bikes, e-scooters and hoverboards, known collectively as micromobility vehicles. Of those visits, 169,300 were linked to the scooters, or 47%. By comparison, ER trips stemming from e-bike accidents added up to 53,200, or less than 15%. Just as concerning, of the 233 micromobility-related deaths the CPSC registered through that six-year stretch, nearly half (111) were from e-scooter incidents, usually as a result of collisions with cars and/or control issues. Scooters mistakenly seen as 'very low risk' After a dip in the early part of the COVID pandemic, the ER-worthy injuries related to powered scooters – mostly the electric variety – have steadily risen from just under 30,000 in 2020 to 118,485 last year, nearly twice the 2023 total (64,329). 'People view scooters as very, very low risk for some reason, but we do see broken wrists, head injuries, neck injuries, cervical injuries. Those are all very common," said Dr. Eric Cioe-Peña, associate professor of emergency medicine and vice president of Northwell's Center for Global Health in Long Island, New York. Cioe-Peña has noticed the surge in injuries over the last five years, coinciding with the rise in e-scooter ridership. According to data from the National Association of City Transportation Officials, dockless scooter ridership in the U.S. was up to 65 million in 2023, the latest year for which the nonprofit has statistics. As of 2024, there were 130 American cities with e-scooter-sharing programs, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics says. And a recent report projects the North American market for e-bikes and e-scooters to grow from about $500 million last year to more than $3 billion by 2033. Ignoring traffic rules and neglecting protection All those rides will inevitably lead to more injuries, and Cioe-Peña expressed concern about the number or riders who ignore the rules of the road – such as blowing past stop signs – and neglect to wear protective equipment, especially helmets. He said the worst e-scooter injuries he has seen at the ER involved a helmetless rider in Staten Island whose vehicle's front wheel hit an irregular spot on the street – possibly a storm drain slot – and was catapulted over the handlebar. The rider landed on concrete, sustaining a severe concussion and ankle and wrist fractures. 'The pedestrian risk is more sensational," Cioe-Peña said, 'but the real burden of disease is head injuries with unhelmeted riders." Studies of helmet use among e-scooter riders are scarce but generally show low percentages, as little as 2%. Alex Engel, a spokesperson for NACTO, said most of e-scooter injuries are sustained by riders, who are vulnerable to potholes or small objects on the road causing accidents. 'With e-scooters the center of gravity is much higher because you're standing on them, and because the wheels are much smaller and there's in general much less shock (absorption), pavement quality tends to matter a lot more than it does for bikes or e-bikes," Engel said. A need for more safe places to ride Still, he pointed out cars are by far the biggest danger to riders, which makes the significant increase in bike lanes across many cities a welcome development for micromobility fans. 'The most important thing any city can do is providing safe places for people to ride," Engel said. 'That provides space for those who are already riding, and it encourages more ridership. There's safety in numbers.'' Few if any cities have bike lanes on every street, and it's not uncommon to see e-scooters on sidewalks, which is generally against the law. Though civic leaders tend to appreciate the e-scooters' eco-friendly convenience, a few cities and two states – Pennsylvania and Delaware – have effectively banned them from public roads. There's wide variation in state and municipal regulations regarding e-scooters, from minimum age requirements to whether riding on sidewalks is allowed, leading to confusion among practitioners. While more than 30 states have set speed limits of between 15 mph and 20 mph, another six permit riders to go at least as fast as 25 mph, according to a detailed guide on the webpage of scooter maker Unagi. Lax enforcement of regulations The regulations are not commonly known and rarely enforced, said Joseph Schofer, a professor emeritus of civil and environmental engineering at Northwestern University who specializes in transportation issues. 'A teenager riding a scooter, my sense is they have no obligation to get training," Schofer said. 'And if there is, there's no way to enforce it." He remembers a few years ago seeing a man on a rental e-scooter riding around Washington, D.C., with his child, maybe 2 or 3 years old, on his shoulders. It was a reminder of the need for better public education regarding these contraptions, not to mention common sense. Schofer said he sees the value in efficient conveyances like e-scooters, which can make it easier to navigate city streets. He also wonders about the risk involved, especially for young riders and tourists who may not be familiar with a town's layout and traffic patterns. 'You have a really cheap avenue to getting access to motorized transportation, and to young people who aren't licensed drivers, and to people of limited income, it's very appealing," he said. 'So how do you make this work?" 'A place in the transportation ecosystem' Dr. Ben Breyer, a professor at the University of California-San Francisco School of Medicine, said that's where city involvement comes in. Breyer spent 10 years at San Francisco's leading trauma center and conducted several studies on bicycle trauma. More recently, he collaborated in a widely cited UCSF study published last summer that found nationwide e-bike injuries nearly doubled and e-scooter injuries rose by more than 45% every year from 2017-2022. Despite that, Breyer's likes the potential for these vehicles. 'These kind of micromobility options do have a place in the transportation ecosystem," he said. 'They help keep cars off the road, they help decrease congestion, they help people make that final mile in their commute. I think we need more infrastructure to help support riders, and there may need to be some regulations on maximum speeds and these kind of things to help ensure folks ride safely."

Aging up the characters in the ‘King of the Hill' revival was not only easy, it was ‘a relief'
Years and years ago, Pamela Adlon, the actor and co-creator of 'Better Things,' had to trade a Fox Body Ford Mustang with a V8 engine for a white minivan. 'It was when I became a mom and I said, 'I cannot go down like this,' ' Adlon says. So, she had the minivan painted with flames, a skull on the front and pinstripes. When Adlon met with the artist for her auto paint job, she saw a totem in his studio: a small, gold-colored resin bust of Bobby Hill, the husky preteen she played on the animated series 'King of the Hill' for 13 seasons — a staggering 259 episodes total — on Fox. Adlon was given the figure. During a conversation about the return of the series, she pulls the bust from her bookshelves and holds Bobby lovingly in her hands. Adlon says she doesn't just identify with parts of the sweet, passionate kid she voiced. She is Bobby Hill. 'I just couldn't believe it,' Adlon says. 'This is my own bust. That's me. It's f— me!' Bobby, the son of animated Arlen, Texas, residents Hank (Mike Judge) and Peggy Hill (Kathy Najimy) has in the years since 'King of the Hill' aired its last episodes in 2010, become a social-media phenomenon in memes ('That's my purse, I don't know you!') and well-circulated online video clips. 'He has become like a little beacon for people, which is so sweet,' Adlon says. 'I'm honored to even be a part of it. I love it, I love it.' Adlon and most of the original cast return for a revival of 'King of the Hill' with a 10-episode 14th season premiering Monday on Hulu. The new episodes return viewers to a much-changed Arlen (and America, for that matter) with characters who have aged about a decade since we last saw them. Hank and Peggy are retired and back in Texas after a propane-related work stint in Saudi Arabia. Bobby is a 22-year-old chef running a Japanese-German fusion restaurant. And because it's 2025, there's a lot that feels very different, from ridesharing and microaggressions to all-gender public bathrooms and goat therapy. To say that the connections 'King of the Hill' cast members have with the show are personal would be a huge understatement. Not only did the animated series' original run and its new batch of episodes address American culture in sharp and satirical ways while simultaneously being gentle and humane, it created memorable, perhaps iconic, roles for three of the women who play lead characters on 'King of the Hill.' Adlon, Najimy and Lauren Tom, who plays both Connie Souphanousinphone and her mother Minh, all say that the show's continued high quality and influence on their lives for so long helped draw them back. Along with co-creators Judge and Greg Daniels, and new showrunner Saladin K. Patterson, the cast faced a formidable modern TV challenge many have failed: reviving a beloved show without ruining what made it great in the first place. 'The best job I've ever had' Najimy, who plays Peggy Hill as a kind but frequently overconfident retired substitute teacher, remembers very clearly her audition for 'King of the Hill' 27 years ago. 'I was pregnant with my daughter,' she says, 'so I will never forget that time in our lives.' Najimy and the rest of the cast had no idea at first if the show would work. 'I thought, 'This is a really good script and I love that there's some great writing for women characters, which isn't always the case.' ' Unlike the family dynamic of many sitcoms of the '90s era when 'King' started, and even now in some cases, Hank and Peggy aren't a schlub and a hot wife trading insults — they're partners who respect each other and who did a great job raising their son. 'They fight and they spar, but they really, really love each other, which I find refreshing,' Najimy says. In the new season, Peggy's adventures include portraying the made-up wife of Hank's buddy Bill (Stephen Root), dealing with a cover-up involving a neighborhood lending library and bedbugs, and wrestling with empty nesting. Judge says that Najimy gets credit for bringing Peggy to life on the original run. 'We, on the writing side at least, didn't have all that much for Peggy in the very beginning. 'Something happened when Kathy started doing the voice — something about the way she played her as this know-it-all who can be completely wrong with complete confidence — and we started writing to that and Peggy was born,' he says. Najimy says she appreciates that the storylines continue to be character-driven, even when they're observing or commenting on modern culture. 'It's really hard to bring something back,' Najimy says in praise of the show's creators and writers. 'I think it's a miracle that they've done it so seamlessly… it's the best job I've ever had.' Bobby and Connie all grown up One of the new storylines finds Bobby reconnecting in Dallas with his childhood crush Connie. How that develops through the 10 episodes is one of the most emotionally satisfying parts of the revival. While other actors on the show were voicing older versions of adult characters, Adlon and Tom had to decide with the showrunner and creators how to age their characters into adulthood. At one point, using technology to change the pitch of their voices was considered. But in the end, the actors made the vocal adjustments themselves. 'I feel like since Connie's in her 20s now, that was actually easier for me because it's close to my own voice; I'm about that age emotionally,' Tom jokes. 'For me, it was a relief to age her up.' 'King of the Hill' was Tom's first animation job before she went on to play roles on 'Futurama,' 'Teen Titans Go!' and 'Rick and Morty.' Adlon said that Bobby's vocal journey into manhood had to be grounded in an authentic portrayal with a subtle adjustment: 'I just did a little thing,' Adlon says, cupping her hand for emphasis, 'get him more into, you know, the balls. Cradling the balls of age.' When the new season begins, Connie has a boyfriend; it's an ethical nonmonogamous relationship. 'In a way, she is sowing her wild oats,' Tom says. As Bobby, Adlon interjects, 'Well, I don't wanna talk about that.' Patterson, a veteran of several TV series including 'Frasier' and the well-received 2021 version of 'The Wonder Years,' says the actors were able to bring a huge amount of complexity to characters that fans have grown to love for 27 years. For Bobby, 'What Pam does is so specific and so magical,' Patterson says. 'Fans are coming back to this show because they want to recapture that magic, right? Let's not try to fix what isn't broken. Let Pam continue to do the magic that she does with Bobby Hill.' With Tom's challenge of playing two characters, Patterson says, 'When we have scenes with Minh and Connie, not only is she doing two voices, but she's capturing all those layers and nuances that exist in the mother-daughter relationship.' Living in 2025 … and beyond? The actors and creators are careful to say that 'King of the Hill' has never been as political as some might ascribe to the show, despite it being set in a red state featuring a conservative-passing family. But in 2025, it seems impossible not to take a side and the new 'King' season arrives just two weeks after 'South Park' unloaded a stinging critique on President Trump and his administration. The new 'King of the Hill' season takes aim at misogynist bro seminars, cultural appropriation in the restaurant world and how divorce is still stigmatized in many cultures, among other topics. The cast members and creative leaders of the show say that while they're big fans of what 'South Park' is doing, 'King' mirrors things very differently. 'The world needs someone to shake things up like that,' Tom says, 'and then the world needs our approach, which has a lot more kindness and love and gentleness and inclusiveness to it. It's a nice balance.' 'Now seems like the perfect time, this window of opportunity when people are just going, 'What the f—?' with everything,' Adlon says. Judge says 'King of the Hill' is 'a calming presence in the midst of all the divisiveness. People often tell me they watch it before they go to sleep, and I'm totally good with that.' How long that calming presence will be with us when it comes to getting fresh episodes in the future is not completely clear. Season 14 debuts with all 10 episodes available. Will there be more? There are certainly more scripts and the actors on the show confirm they've continued working on episodes beyond this initial batch, but Hulu has not yet announced whether 'King of the Hill' will continue for a 15th season or more. Reviews so far from critics have been universal raves; the 14th season has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with one reviewer calling it the best TV revival of all time. For the 'King' crew, who have been working on the show since the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to do voice recording separately, seeing 'King of the Hill' come back together successfully after so long has been incredibly rewarding. 'I think it was a big relief reading the first episode and realizing the writing was just as strong as the original and feeling like, 'Oh, we're going to be in good hands,' ' Tom says.

Jennifer Aniston's new 'curve cut' hairstyle is the most wearable version of the 90s 'Rachel cut' we've seen
The reigning monarch of 'the Rachel' haircut (and the founder and face of it), Jennifer Aniston, is making a case for a brand new, re-imagined version of the style. Enter: The one where she got the 'curve cut'. In a recent Instagram video post, Jen revealed a brand new product drop from her very own haircare brand, LolaVie – which we, of course, are excited to try. "Our Dry Shampoo just dropped 🩶… and IT'S SO GOOD! I hope you love too! 🥰 @lolavie," she wrote to caption her post. That said, it wasn't the dry shampoo that had us catching flies (read: our jaws were on the floor), but her freshly chopped hairstyle. The longer, yet still very much layered style is giving Friends 'season 6'. Style-wise, said layers curve inward, making for the infamous curve cut (also known as the 'C cut'), which was first imagined in 2023. This is a hybrid style that combines the best elements of various looks. Think: the layers of a more refined, tamed wolf cut, but with the feathery aspect of the iconic 'Rachel'. Aka, lots of 90s flippy ends. And the best part? It's so versatile! The curve cut can be tailored to different hair lengths and textures, from bobs to longer styles. Plus, it requires minimal styling thanks to its layers that naturally frame the face. So, if you're seeking a re-upped, low-maintenance haircut for summer 2025, why not follow in Jen's footsteps with this very look?! After all, she is a certified trendsetter. Follow Lia on Instagram.
