Joe Jonas Gets Haircut from Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson

August 10, 2009- The Teen Choice Awards audience had a big surprise in store for them. The Jonas Brothers boy band consisting of Nick, Kevin and Joe Jonas hosted last night's award ceremony. Now that was a big thrill for female audience members, but not a big surprise. The Jonas Brothers were probably the biggest reason many in the audience attended the ceremony in the first place.

But when it was announced that on a dare, brother Joe Jonas was to have his dark wavy locks cut short on television, the thousands of adoring fans gasped in horror. Joe's edgy bangs side-combed and falling over one eye is one of many of his fans favorite feature about him. And wait until you hear who was to be his barber...none other than undisputed former heavy-weight champion, Mike Tyson.

But, as promised, Joe Jonas donned regulation pink plastic salon cover and away went the scissors. While is thankfully, no Barber of Fleet Street, he's also, unfortunately not much of a stylist either. Jonas cringed as huge chunks of his brunette mane fell to the floor. Many girls in the audience were openly weeping. Joe's brothers Nick and Kevin stayed well out of the way of Tyson's barber shears and looked on from a safe distance in dismay. There was a breath of rumor that Tyson was cutting a wig and not Joe's own hair. But it looked pretty real to me. And who would be foolish enough to tempt the genii of dares, with failure to follow it through?

Well, such is show business. I had to laugh, reminiscing about how girls in my generation went into mass hysteria over David Cassidy, Shawn Cassidy and Leif Garrett to name a few. If their wavy locks had suffered the chop we would have fainted en masse. I get a further chuckle when I see pictures of them now. How fallen are the mighty. Great beauty is followed by fast decay in Hollywood. And after all Joe, you know the old slogan: Hair today gone tomorrow.
