Why Alex Finken's Hair Transplant Left Him Looking Like a Cartoon New

Why Alex Finken's Hair Transplant Left Him Looking Like a Cartoon

How far would you go for a full head of luscious locks?Alex Finken (@iam.thats.a.bad.idea) coughed up $17,500 for a hair transplant in hopes of reclaiming his confidence. But the next day, he woke up with severe swelling that made him look more like Humpty Dumpty than a heartthrob.“Some people look OK with it, it goes around their eyes and just looks like they got in a boxing match,” Finken said in a now-viral TikTok. “I literally just look like an egg.”Alex Finken has been sharing his hair transplant journey on TikTok. The swelling took him by surprise. Tiktok/@iam.thats.a.bad.ideaThe 27-year-old from Denver isn’t alone in his follicular frustration. An estimated 35 million American men experience measurable hair loss — and while the risk increases with age, up to 30% begin shedding before they turn 30.“I’d been dealing with thinning and male pattern baldness since my early 20s,” Finken told The Post. “By 24, I was basically living in hats and felt uncomfortable in social situations without one.”Though hair loss is common, the emotional toll can be steep. Many men experience anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, all feelings that can lead to embarrassment and social withdrawal.Finken had joked about getting a transplant for years. Then, one day, he pulled the trigger and booked the procedure.Finken’s swelling made him look unrecognizable. Tiktok/@iam.thats.a.bad.idea“For me, it wasn’t about vanity — it was about confidence and feeling like myself again,” he said. Finken flew to Salt Lake City for the operation, where doctors harvested 3,536 follicles from the back of his head and redistributed them across his thinning scalp. “We completely restored my hairline, my temples and added density into Zones 2 and 3,” he explained in a TikTok, pointing out the bald zones on the back and middle of his head.Finken went public with his hair transplant journey to help combat the stigma around balding and the surgery itself. Courtesy of Alex FinkenFinken knew to expect swelling — but he didn’t think he’d end up looking like a rejected Pixar character.“At first, I was shocked. I looked like a cartoon version of myself,” he said. “The worst of it lasted about three days, and it’s been improving drastically every day since.”Day 1 brought puffy temples. By Day 2, bruising bloomed under one eye and the swelling started to block his vision. By Day 3, it had slid down into his neck.“My brain is not in danger at all. All of my airways are perfectly fine,” he reassured his TikTok followers. “It’s just swelling underneath the skin.” Viewers flooded the comments with questions and concerns, but Finken explained that the swelling was a normal part of the process.“The main thing that’s going to cause that swelling is the saline and anesthesia solution that they inject into your head,” he said. “Everyone’s lymphatic system works differently, also because of genetics, so some are going to puff up more and some it’s going to drain a lot quicker.”Of course, his pre-op weekend antics didn’t do him any favors.Finken admitted to drinking both Friday and Saturday before his Wednesday procedure — a move he now cautions others against. “You should not do this because it causes vascular dilation and also it makes local anesthesia less effective,” he stressed. Even still, Finken said he has no regrets about going under the knife. Within a matter of days, Finken’s swelling had largely subsided. Tiktok/@iam.thats.a.bad.idea“The recovery itself has actually been way easier than I expected — it just takes patience and a good sense of humor,” Finken said. “I was also shocked by how little pain I’ve had overall. The first night was rough, but as of Day 5 the pain is almost nonexistent.”Now, as his restored hairline begins to take root, Finken said the transplant was “one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself.”“If it’s something that can improve your confidence or quality of life, there’s nothing wrong with doing it,” he said.“And yeah, sometimes you just have to embrace looking like an egg for a few days.”

Brittany Mahomes' Emotional Reaction During Chiefs' Intense Victory New

Brittany Mahomes' Emotional Reaction During Chiefs' Intense Victory

Avid sports fans will live and die with every play their team makes, and it appears Brittany Mahomes is no different. The wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes watched Kansas City’s thrilling overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, September 20, from a suite at Arrowhead Stadium with a group that included friend and influencer Dani Austin Ramirez. Brittany, 31, shared a photo via her Instagram Story that Ramirez had posted of the two of them at the game, writing over the image, “Sorry you had to hear me scream and say a lot of bad words for several hours ����.” The 33-30 win for the Chiefs now moves them to 2-0 on the season as Patrick, 31, threw for 382 yards and three touchdowns. Kansas City’s first two games of the regular season were the first two chances Patrick has had to prove he has fully recovered from the ACL injury he suffered last December. As Patrick has gone through the recovery process, first enduring surgery, then the long rehabilitation road, Brittany has stayed by his side. When Patrick arrived at training camp in July, she celebrated by resharing team footage of him taking the field. “Seeing him back doing what he loves,” Brittany wrote at the time via her Instagram Story. “So thankful ��.” Brittany opened up to Sports Illustrated in February about being the wife of an NFL player, reminding fans that they only see WAGs on gameday or on social media. “I think being the significant other to an NFL player is an incredibly hard role, and we take on a lot of important stuff behind the scenes that people don’t get to see,” she said. “We also get to enjoy life and do things that we love, too.” Patrick has been similarly supportive of Brittany. The couple married in 2022 and share daughters Sterling, 5, and Golden, 20 months, as well as son Bronze, 3. “I think people don’t even realize how much she does,” Patrick said on a May 2024 episode of the “Impaulsive” podcast. “I mean, taking care of the day-to-day stuff and [making] it where I can focus on football and focus on my craft and everything like that. [She’s] a Hall of Fame mom and a Hall of Fame wife, [which] makes it a lot easier.” He continued, “I mean, when you get to come home and your best friend’s there and you can just hang out, it makes you want to be there all the time, and she pushes me to be great and she’s done a lot of great things herself.”

Cindy Crawford's Heartfelt Tribute to Presley Gerber Gains New Meaning New

Cindy Crawford's Heartfelt Tribute to Presley Gerber Gains New Meaning

Cindy Crawford expressed her love for son Presley Gerber in a sweet birthday tribute shared just two months before his death. "Happy birthday @presleygerber �� I’m so proud of the man you’ve become, but I'll always see you as my little boy! Love you ❤️," Crawford, 60, wrote via Instagram on July 2. Alongside her message, Crawford shared a throwback photo from her son's childhood and a more recent selfie. News broke on Sunday, September 20, that Presley died at the age of 27. "The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time," read a statement to Us from the Crawford-Gerber family. According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, Presley was at a rehab facility when he died. A cause of death has not yet been revealed. In an interview published days before Presley's death, Crawford opened up about her new life as an empty nester. (The supermodel also shares daughter Kaia Gerber with husband Rande Gerber.) "When they become adults, all of a sudden you're like, 'OK, I've got to back off here.' It might not be the way I would do it, but you know," she told PORTER magazine this month. Crawford continued, "When you get married, you talk about what kind of family you want or where we're going to live. But no one ever talks about what this phase looks like, empty nesting, because it's so far away you can't even imagine it. But it's an opportunity for us to redefine our relationship." Crawford noted that it's been "fun" to figure out what her next chapter with Rande looks like. She also revealed that she's "looking forward" to becoming a grandmother someday. "I'm at the age where a lot of my friends are starting to have grandkids, and even though I don't think either one of my kids is close, I do hope I get to experience that, because it looks really fun," she said. Ahead of his death, Presley spoke candidly about his struggles with mental health and substance abuse. In what would become his final public appearance, Presley was joined by his parents at the We Are ENOUGH x Aviator Nation launch event at Aviator Nation Dreamland in Malibu on June 11, where he opened up about his journey. "The most free I felt was when I was finally honest with myself," he said at the time. If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

Cindy Crawford's Heartfelt Birthday Wish to Presley Gerber Before Tragedy New

Cindy Crawford's Heartfelt Birthday Wish to Presley Gerber Before Tragedy

Just two months before the tragic death of her son, aged just 27, supermodel Cindy Crawford shared a tear-jerking message wishing her “little boy” a happy birthday. On Sunday, September 20, Presley Gerber, who had battled addiction for years, passed away at an unknown rehab centre. Cindy called her late son her "little boy" In July, his A-list mom, Cindy, shared a sweet birthday message with pictures of her only son when he was much younger. The caption read: “Happy birthday I’m so proud of the man you’ve become, but I’ll always see you as my little boy! Love you.” Presley Gerber died at age 27. Credit: Gilbert Flores / Getty Presley was the only son of Cindy, 69, and her businessman husband, Rande Gerber, and the older brother of model-actor Kaia Gerber . After Presley publicly announced four months ago that he was undergoing treatment for addiction, Cindy labelled her son as a “warrior”. In the social media announcement, Presley announced he had “faced” what he was running from and was “finding” his “way back”. In the comment section, his mom Cindy commented: “You are a warrior! Walked thru fire to find yourself! So proud!” Saturday Night star and global supermodel sister, Kaia, added: “That’s my brother I am so damn proud.” His dad, founder of Casamigos tequila, Rande Gerber, also shared his adoration for his son, commenting: “I’m so proud of you and your courage. Facing what’s hard takes real strength, and watching you find your way back to yourself is everything. I love you so much.” Like his mom and sister, Presley followed in his mum’s footsteps and began modelling at age 15 in 2015. His runway debut was for Italian label Moschino; Presley went on to model for brands including Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, and Bottega Veneta. In 2024, the late model first opened up about his substance abuse by recalling a near-fatal fentanyl overdose. Shortly after, he checked into rehab to undergo treatment.

She explained: “When something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone.” “We have this absolute teacher, my brother, who says, ‘I’m gonna be very human for everyone.’ There’s only so much you can hide from the world. “And trying to put a lid on something just makes the person feel like you’re ashamed of them.” Featured image credit: Gilbert Flores / Getty

Presley Gerber's Tragic Death Sparks Heartfelt Reactions Amid Rehab Battle New

Presley Gerber's Tragic Death Sparks Heartfelt Reactions Amid Rehab Battle

Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber’s son, Presley Gerber, has died. Us confirmed in the late hours of Sunday, September 20, that Presley died in a rehab facility, per records obtained online through the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. He was 27 years old. TMZ was first to report the news, with the outlet noting that an autopsy is yet to be completed. Us has reached out to representatives for Cindy, 60, and Rande, 64. A statement from the family was shared with TMZ on Sunday. “The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time,” it read. Last month, Presley’s sister, Kaia Gerber, publicly commented on her brother’s battle with addiction. “When something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone,” the actress and model, 25, said during an interview with Vogue published on August 11. “I think that’s also why I started to self-​identify as the easy one and never wanted to ask for help. Because it felt like too much to have two children who were needing.” Kaia also discussed her Malibu upbringing alongside Presley as her mom remained an international supermodel. “Unfortunately all the things that people assume are true. I was in the ocean every day. My brother would go surfing and then walk up to school in his wetsuit with his surfboard, barefoot. You’re with the same kids from preschool to when you graduate,” Kaia said of the siblings’ upbringing. “There were no Ubers there, so your parents were driving you to parties and then picking you up. There was only so much trouble you could get into.” Presley had shared his mental health battles via candid Instagram posts in recent months. In an act of full transparency in December 2025, he detailed his medication routine at the time. “Here’s some clarity for ya — the truth will set you free (hopefully) haha,” he captioned the clip. “I feel like honesty is the best policy.” Presley then went through his list of current medications, which included one milligram of Buprenorphine two times a day. (Buprenorphine is intended to treat opioid use disorder and pain.) He continued, “Benzos have been fluctuating up and down depending on what’s been going on in my life,” adding that he “had a lot of loss in many different forms recently.” (Benzos or Benzodiazepines assist in slowing down “activity in your brain and nervous system” and are used to treat “anxiety and related mental health conditions,” according to Cleveland Clinic.) The video, filmed inside a sauna, also revealed that Presley was taking a small dose of Xanax to treat panic attacks. “I try to take as little of that as possible,” he explained, adding that he also took Valium but the dosage varied at the time. The video also stated that he had experienced a lack of “direction” from doctors in the past. “I’d like doctors to be like, ‘Take this three times a day,’” he said. “But every psychiatrist I’ve had — and I’ve had 15 — are like, ‘Here’s 20 medications and take this if you feel like this, take this as needed.’” Presley concluded, “I’m hoping this reaches people in many ways … so you feel like you’re not alone, because that is how I feel most of the time. I have a feeling if I say all of this, a lot of people will at least know that there’s someone else going through it.” If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

MetLife Stadium's Traffic Woes: Why Fans Are Dreading Game Days New

MetLife Stadium's Traffic Woes: Why Fans Are Dreading Game Days

Fans heading to MetLife Stadium are in for a game-day nightmare. The New York Giants and New York Jets share the East Rutherford venue as their home field — and it’s home to some of the worst overall traffic conditions on NFL game days, according to a recent study.New research analyzed gridlock data around all 30 NFL stadiums to rank every venue by game-day traffic congestion.The study, conducted by Betpack, evaluated traffic data within a one-kilometer radius of each arena. Stadiums were scored on three key metrics: congestion level, average speed, and travel time per 6.2 miles, which were combined into an overall Congestion Score.An aerial view of MetLife Stadium for a past New York Jets game. Getty ImagesCongestion levels measure how much longer journeys take in traffic compared to free-flow conditions. Betpack calculates this by comparing observed traffic speeds with standard speeds when roads are clear.MetLife Stadium landed near the top of the list as the sixth-most congested NFL stadium, earning an overall traffic score of 72.4 out of 100.On game days, congestion around the arena surges 212.7% above baseline traffic, with average speeds dropping to just 13.4 mph. As a result, navigating six miles of surrounding traffic takes a grueling 27.7 minutes.MetLife’s traffic issue isn’t novel. A Fall 2025 ranking by Pickswise painted an even grimmer picture, rating MetLife as the second-worst stadium for game-day traffic with a score of 30.3 out of 100. That study found East Rutherford had the longest peak travel times, taking fans 38 minutes and 56 seconds to drive just 10 kilometers — nearly 10 minutes longer than at any other stadium.Bad news for those with MetLife season tickets this year. Getty ImagesNissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans, posted the worst overall traffic score, where crawling six miles through game-day congestion takes 60.5 minutes. Rounding out the top five worst stadiums for traffic were Soldier Field (Chicago Bears), Empower Field at Mile High (Denver Broncos), Huntington Bank Field (Cleveland Browns), and Bank of America Stadium (Carolina Panthers).“This was the 8th NFL stadium I have been to and the worst to get in or out of. Parking was awful and disorganized,” one TripAdvisor reviewer wrote of MetLife.Another fan who attended the soccer match between Barcelona and Real Madrid at the stadium dubbed it the “worst stadium they had ever visited,” adding, “After the game, it took us almost 1.5 hours just to get from the parking lot to the highway (less than 1 mile away). No exaggeration.”Traffic near the New York New Jersey Stadium, ahead of England’s game against Panama in July for the FIFA World Cup 2026. PA Images via Getty ImagesThe gridlock isn’t limited to football games. Major event goers and World Cup fans have previously been urged to use transit options like NJ Transit as traffic alerts were put in place to manage the severe delays.As for the NFL stadium with the least congestion, the Betpack study found Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs, recorded the lowest overall traffic score at just 2.0 out of 100.With both New York football teams starting the season with rare, promising 1-0 records, traffic near MetLife may only get tighter as the 2026 season unfolds.

Debbie Gibson's Emotional Reach Out to Carrot Top Before His Hospitalization

Debbie Gibson is sending her support to friend Carrot Top after the comedian was hospitalized following an alleged suicide attempt. “Sometimes it’s the ones who make us laugh the hardest who are hurting the most. Sending love to you, Scott ��@carrottoplive,” Gibson, 56, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, September 20, citing the comedian’s real name. “Scott Thompson a.k.a. Carrot Top is one of those people who will send you a video message at some random time just to let you know he’s thinking of you and to put a smile on your face.” She continued, “I hadn’t heard from him in a little longer than usual, so [I] reached out literally two days ago. I figured he’d reply this week as he often does post-show weekend, so I didn’t think anything of it when I didn’t hear back right away.” Carrot Top, 61, was hospitalized in Las Vegas on Friday, September 18. As a result, his Friday and Saturday comedy shows were subsequently canceled. (Carrot Top has headlined a residency at Las Vegas’ Luxor Casino since 2005.) “Mr. Thompson is recovering in the hospital and is receiving the care and support he needs,” his rep, Jami Schlicher, said in a statement shared with multiple outlets, confirming the comedy star’s hospital stay. “His family and those closest to him are deeply grateful for the concern, prayers and respectfully ask for privacy.” While further details have not been publicly shared, Carrot Top’s celebrity friends like Gibson have vocalized their support. “Check on your friends, especially the ones who give and give and give as Scott does to his loved ones and his audiences,” the singer added on Saturday. “We are all here for you friend, and to anyone going through mental health issues … please know that I myself have a therapist on speed dial.” In her upload, Gibson also advocated for mental health treatment. “I’ve used all kinds of modalities including medications when necessary. I continue to explore whatever is going to best help me stay safe and happy and healthy on all levels,” she noted. “Life is full of layers that nobody sees. There is no stigma in prioritizing your mental and emotional well being at all times!!!” Gibson concluded, “This is a safe space and a loving community for all of you going through whatever you’re going through.” If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau's Red Carpet Chemistry Steals the Show

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau's Red Carpet Chemistry Steals the Show

Katy Perry and her boyfriend, Justin Trudeau, enjoyed a glamorous red carpet date night at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. Perry, 41, stepped out at the Saturday, September 19, grand opening in a strapless, white Christian Siriano gown with Trudeau, 54, on her arm. Complementing the pop star’s ensemble, the former Canadian prime minister looked dapper in a black suit. Perry and Trudeau have been romantically linked since summer 2025. “I have love in my life now. That’s transformed me,” Perry gushed of their relationship on Justin Tranter’s “Unfamous” podcast in June. “You think when The Beatles say, ‘All you need is love,’ it’s a cliché? Clichés are clichés for a reason … it’s like you don’t know until you have your baby how beautiful that experience is and how it transforms you.” She added at the time, “I am constantly in transformation, and I have so many placements of Scorpio in my chart that it would be easy for me to go to the dark side. I’m constantly rebirthing, constantly transforming, constantly, you know, phoenix to ashes, then hopefully eagle.” Perry found love with Trudeau months after her split from Orlando Bloom. Us broke the news in summer 2025 that Perry and Bloom, 49, called off their six-year engagement but remained committed to coparenting their 5-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove. While speaking on Tranter’s podcast, Perry admitted that the past year had been “pretty tough” in the wake of her breakup. “It would have been easy for me to fall into that weird victim triangle,” she acknowledged. “So, instead of falling into ‘woe is me,’ I was just like, ‘Let’s just feel this f***ing pain, let’s feel this anger and let’s move on. Let’s learn from it also. Let’s get some feedback from it.’” Perry and Trudeau, who shares three kids with ex-wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, have since introduced their children to one another. “They will finally have time to settle in as a blended family,” a source exclusively told Us in July. “Over the last month, they have been coparenting in Europe [during Katy’s tour], and their exes Sophie and Orlando have been there. The idea is to re-stabilize and have some down time in August to figure out the architecture of what their relationship looks like, to lay some roots down and get a proper rhythm. They want to make sure there is a stable system to nurture their kids.”

Ed Sheeran's Emotional Breakdown: Family Tensions Over Macklemore Controversy

Ed Sheeran said he’s lost family and close friends after igniting controversy due to Macklemore getting kicked off his Loop Tour over the rapper’s pro-Palestine comments.The devastated musician broke down in tears and sat cross-legged onstage at one point during his concert at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia Saturday night, reflecting on the week in which all his opening acts quit — including his own backing band — in solidarity with Macklemore.“In these situations you really find out who your friends are. It’s been a weird week,” he told the crowd in video captured by a fan. “It happened very quickly. At the same time, I had so many people telling me to cancel this tour and so many people I’ve known for years and years and years they’re kind of backing away.”“In the back of my mind, I saw the ticket sales for this gig and I didn’t see cancellations, I saw people buying tickets for this gig,” he continued as the crowd started to cheer. “Everyone’s telling me to cancel and I’m feeling all of my friends and family and people I know abandon me.”Ed Sheeran emotionally said during his Sept. 19 show at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia that he felt his friends and family abandoned him after the Macklemore “Free Palestine” controversy. / SplashNews.comThe singer broke down in tears onstage. / SplashNews.comBut the “Thinking Out Loud” singer said he was performing for his fans.“I look at the end of the week and I see 50,000 people who haven’t abandoned me,” he noted. “People will say what they want, but I am doing this for you.

I love this.”He called the concert the best show of his life, but called the past week one of the worst weeks he’d experienced.He later cried as he said that he felt so much love from the audience, after he was initially worried about his safety and that people would boo him.“The world is a scary place right now, America is a scary place right now,” he said, before pointing to the audience and noting, “This gives hope.”He told the audience, “In these situations you really find out who your friends are.” / SplashNews.comHe also shared, “Everyone’s telling me to cancel and I’m feeling all of my friends and family and people I know abandon me.” / SplashNews.comAhead of the show, Sheeran, 35, took drastic security measures because he feared people would throw things at him onstage.“At this point in the show, to be honest, I usually go out on the B stage,” he said,“I apologize that today is not the usual Loop show,” he continued. “I took the B stage out because was afraid of what might happen if I stood in the middle. And I will admit that.”Although the Grammy-winner didn’t name the family who abandoned him, his cousin Jethro Sheeran publicly blasted him online Thursday.But Sheeran said he was performing for all of his fans who made the effort to come see him. / SplashNews.comThe Grammy-winner did take extra security measures at the concert, admitting he removed a stage that would put him in the middle of the crowd because he was afraid people were going to throw things at him. via REUTERS“Finally it’s all coming out! I’m ashamed of my cousin Ed he’s done. Finally the world and all his fans see through him. He’s not a good person, I don’t like his music so I can’t say he’s even a good artist,” Jethro posted on Instagram.He also wrote, “He’s honestly a selfish individual with malicious, cunning ways… I’m his first blood cousin and he screwed me over, made fun of my mental health and mental health in general.”Despite Macklemore previously saying that Ed was pressured into dropping him from his tour by stadium owners, Jethro said he believes Ed made the decision himself, calling his cousin “shady” and a “coward.”“In my opinion he’s a bad human. Just my opinion from my experiences,” he wrote.There were pro-Palestinian protestors demonstrating outside of the venue Saturday, as seen above.

He called on Robert Kraft, the billionaire owner of the New England Patriots and Kraft Group, to match his donation.Kraft, who owns Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachasetts, and was one of the stadium owners who refused to let the “Thrift Shop” rapper perform after his “Free Palestine” speech, donated $2 million after he said Sheeran asked him to. In a statement about the massive donation, Kraft, 85, insisted that he’s dedicated his life to trying to help people come together and believes that “all lives are worth protecting.”Sheeran’s next tour dates are Sept. 25 and Sept. 26 at Kraft’s Gillette Stadium.
