Michelle Obama's hairstylist lands reality deal

Michelle Obama's hairstylist has landed a development deal to star in a reality show.

Former Chicagoan Johnny Wright has styled the first lady's coif for the Democratic National Convention, her upcoming appearance on the cover of Vogue magazine and other occasions. He has signed a deal with 44 Blue, which produces such reality shows as Style Network's "Split Ends" and A&E's "L.A. Gang Unit."

44 Blue executive vp Stephanie Drachkovitch said she discovered Wright while searching for a reality host.

"There aren't many people of color doing makeover and beauty shows," she said. "We figured there's got to be somebody out there with a mainstream clientele, but who brings a different point of view."

Enter Wright, who moved to Los Angeles recently and also has worked on Vivica A. Fox, Rebecca Gayheart, Lauren London and Candace Bushnell, among others. Drachkovitch said she was impressed with the hairstylist's personality before she knew his Obama connection.

"We fell in love with him before we knew," she said. "There's a lot of hairstylists out there who do celebrities, but they can't center a show."

Drachkovitch soon will shop her pitch to cable networks as a docusoap or a makeover series. Of course, the well-timed Obama connection doesn't hurt.

"She has certainly emerged as a style icon," Drachkovitch said of the first lady. "She has everyday beauty mixed with elegance. It certainly raises (Wright's) profile."

Hmmm.........?

[P-Gunna]

Why are people still calling Michelle Obama beautiful? She looks like Jaws from James Bond at best..

[Kitty]

A style icon???? Her hair is mundane, her inaug. suit was hideous and that gown at the Neighborhood Ball looked like she had been bathed in whipped cream from a can.

[HiThere]

The emperor has no clothes ... even Brian Williams, NBC, referring to her as "style icon" ???

[Teri K]

Coming to a theatre near you...

See the JAW jab, and the feathers fly!!!

(as soon as she's done dancin with The ONE...)

[hk]

Michelle is dog ugly. Almost ape-like.

[Novelty T Shirts]

What a joke...time for tees....check out these
funny t-shirts,
Buy 3 get 3 free....UNREAL>...

[Bubba Johnson]

So Obama's hair stylist keeps Shelly's head nappy free and she gets rewarded. Way to go.

[Tom]

I think she looks stunning. Its not about the length or size of something. It is the confidence you project, for you which you need personal accomplishments.

Not exactly something an Alsakan with an unwed mother for a daughter, could project. Now, that would be maniacal confidence!!

[waldo]

Who styles Pres Obama's hair?

[612chris]

What in the heck is wrong with you people? "Reality TV" is the topic that should be shunnedn not the first lady.
Oh, and did you all approve of Laura Bush's hairstyle?

[Michael]

You've got to be kidding me. This is a joke, right? Hairstylist? What are they talking about. It's a bottle of straightener, a flatening iron and some hairspray.

Typical of the Democrat Party. Let's give somethign to someone who neither worked for it, nor deserves it but only because they're somehow attached to the chosen one, Muhammad "Barack" Obama and his wife, the Black Widow (hey, SHE wore the dress, not me. Being as "intelligent" as you all claim she is, you would think that she knew EXACTLY what she was doing when she wore that God awful, ugly dress) witout any talent whatsoever.

The next thing is that Muhammad "Barack" Obama's "hairstylist" will be getting a reality show as well, to demonstrate to the masses how to use a freaking electric razor. I mean, c'mon. Seriously?

I can see it now: "Need to know how to cut a ridiculous initial or assinine design into your hair? Obama's man is your answer."

More than likely, this pahtetically stupid, pointless and token show will either be televised on the gay channel LOGO, or the similarly gay channel, Bravo, as that's the M.O. of the whiny, elitist, knee-jerk, bleeding-heart, uber-liberal Democrat Party, who's collective stupdity is surpassed ONLY by their incredible and mind numbing intellectual dishonesty, not to mention that the 'Jackasss' happens to be the PERFECT mascot for said Democrat Party. "Let's put these shows on networks that a very small percentage of people actually watch for more than twenty minutes ONLY because they cater to the gay population and we want all gays to like us. We really really want them to like us."

Blah, blah, blahbity, blah, blah, blah. Just another of many attacks of oral diarhea that defines the Democrat Party.

Enjoy the next four years, Dems. It's the last time you and your ilk will ever see a congressional majority as well as the Presidency. The chosen one, Muhammad "Barack" Obama has way too many things on his plate to take care of before getting to those things he's spouted off about in an effort to get elected to be able to come through on any of his promises. Four years from now, the damage done to this country will make what's happening now look like a two day downturn in the market. The voting public will never forget and make damn sure that the Democrat Party stays EXACTLY where they belong - in the minority.

It's absolutely mind blowing just how many brain-dead, unthinking, sheeple there really are in this country.

God speed President Bush. While you made mistakes, you kept this country safe and I for one owe you an unpayable debt of gratitude.

God help this country, the United States of America, over the next four years. I truly hope that in 2010, the mid term elections will replace most of the dead weight that has become the Democrat Party with fresh blood - conservative, Republican blood. The MSM refused to put front and center (unlike with President Bush) the fact that approval ratings for the Democrat Party controlled congress were the LOWEST IN HISTORY, never mind that they were well below those of the President himself.

Undeniable truths that the PC ruled Democrat Party fails to acknowledge. Political Correctness has done more damage to this country than anything else in it's history. PC is for people too afraid to be human and face full on the harsh truths of reality - of LIFE - and instead would rather use PC as both a copout and excuse to ignore day to day life. And how scary is that? You sheeple need to ask yourself one simple question - would you trust anyone you know on a friendly, day-to-day basis if they lived in a deluded and irrational world? Of course not, but you seem to have no problem with those very same people running a COUNTRY as they see fit, ONLY because of their affiliation with the Democrat Party.

These people do live among us and need to found and put in a safe place for their own protection as they can't be trusted to have even the most mundane and safe things around them without them hurting themselves or someone else.

Very sad, but very, very true...

He looks like he will be cold showing his chest like that and the new president might tell him to cover up if he is going to be doing hair for his family. Well, as Gay as he looks, at least he will not have to worry about the first lady having a affair with the little Gay hair dresser. he is cute with that little smile and nice chest.

Sarah Palin does project confidence, even though the press treated her very unfairly.

But, this isn't about her, it's about Crisco (lotsa' lard in the can)

[Mrs. Bergeron]

Wow, those grapes are soooooo sour!!!

[Mrs. Bergeron]

Actually it's about the hairdresser. And Sarah Palin projects trailer park trash.

[joanne]

I have to say these are the most fascinatingly ignorant "comments" I've ever read...if I could only take back the last 10 minutes of my life.

[TERM]

Mrs. Bergeron,
Why do you say that Sarah Palin projects trailer park trash?

[Pam]

Probably compares her to the Contestants in Mrs. Bergeron,Trailer Park?
Nothing wrong with Sarah,just a typical Down to Earth Woman.
She doesn't have to put on a False Face to fit in !

[patti]

They have to call her a Style Icon, otherwise how are they going to compare her to their precious Jackie-O and Camelot? Style Icon, or not, Camelot was just a story, and so was the Kennedy Presidency and so will this be. How did that Kennedy Presidency end? I'm just saying, that's probably who you don't want to be compared to. Not the best of all endings.

[Bee]

Aunt Ester gets a makeover maybe he can do HilRods hair or maybe even Helen Thomas I believe they are style icons too

[angel]

Bottom line is you do not have to think she is beautiful....and regardless of what you think she looks like it doesn't matter.......SHE IS THE 1ST LADY . So get over it already.....LMAO ....You small minded people still cannot see beyond color, I guess you would feel a little better if she were white....give it a break already he has been elected, he has been sworn in , and it's a new day....so stop whinning over and over about the same mundane issues....he's black she's ugly, and her hair is nappy.....continue saying it from your home as she walks her nappy head, black self all through the WHITE HOUSE.......lol......I happen to think they are a beautiful couple and beauty my dear is in the eye of the beholder.....I am soooooo happy he has a wife that we know he married for love and not the usual trophy wife....BEAUTIFUL.....there is more to life than make up and botox...she's showing proudly that natural is beautiful......LMAO
