Hollywood gossip websites are so used to him coming across as a smooth and debonair ladies’ man, so its really so unsettling to see this former Brat Pack-er looking like he loves his feminine frosted fringe so much, he’s about to make it permanent.

Stranger still is that his hair was all-grey during Prince William‘s polo match in L.A., which he attended. Maybe he was in between dye jobs then? Unless this change is for some sort of movie or tv role, or he wants to play matchy-matchy with wife Sheryl Berkoff, we really don’t get why Rob‘s lightened his locks.

Do you dig Rob‘s new ‘do?

Really? The hunky actor, who went on The Oprah Winfrey Show to promote his new autobiography, called ‘Stories I Only Tell My Friends’, told Oprah:

“It ends up being the greatest thing that ever happened to me.”

During his interview, Rob joked that celebrities nowadays make and release their own sex tapes to further their careers, while his (which caused quite a big scandal back in 1989) was the major turning point of his life that changed it for the better:

“What it ends up doing is accelerating my alcohol stuff to where I finally get sober.”

Rob, who went to rehab for alcohol and sex addiction following the scandal, shared:

“I have been able to have the rest of my life, that I’m so blessed with, which has now been 20 years of sobriety.”

What do you think? Is it really possible that a sex tape can change your life for the better?

Lowe tells Vanity Fair that in the early days, he and Sheen would “competed to see who could play harder, then show up for work.”

Lowe talks about the days when they were relatively unknown actors who plotted their acting careers in Sheen’s pool. He calls Sheen “a wonderful mix of nerd and rebel.”

A nerd and a rebel? Sounds about right.

I think Rob is the hottest 47-year-old. Challenge me, I bet you CANNOT find a hotter La La Land stud who comes close to Lowe. Can you think of one?

Vanity Fair May issue featuring shirtless Lowe hits newsstands in New York and Los Angeles on Thursday and nationwide April 5.

more Rob’s hot candids after the jump…

Rob Lowe enjoyed lunch with friends at the famous Ivy restaurant on Robertson Blvd in West Hollywood earlier this week. According to recent reports the “Brothers & Sisters” star is to join the NBC comedy series “Parks and Recreation“.

Why do we always dwell on the Brad Pitt’s hotness or the Clooney’s eligibility when there’s Rob Lowe? I’m serious. Sure sure the Chace Crawford, Zac Efron and Kellan Lutz are mighty hot but those guys are half of Rob’s age. You get the picture? When you age and you look this hot, you’re doing something right. Pamela Anderson was hot on Baywatch once upon a time, wasn’t she?

There have been rumors that Rob has undergone plastic surgery, he said it’s just good genes and I believe it.

Laura Boyce, who worked for the Lowe family up until last year (07), has accused Lowe of creating an “extremely sexually offensive and hostile work environment”, claiming her former boss regularly paraded around the family home naked and made inappropriate comments of a lewd nature.

Moakler tells People.com, “I’ve been friends with Laura for the past ten years – before she was my nanny – and I completely stand by her.”.

- Female First

Moakler was married to Travis Barker. They tried to reconciliate even after filing for divorce in 2006 but guess things just never the same, second time around. Barker told People magazine that the couple finally divorced in February, 2008.

Laura Boyce, who worked for the couple for seven months in 2007, claims Sheryl Lowe created an “extremely sexually offensive and hostile work environment … behaving in a … perverted, disgusting and crude manner.”

Boyce also alleges that Sheryl used the “n” word in reference to Boyce’s boyfriend, who was an NBA player.

Sheryl also allegedly “walked around naked, completely exposing herself” to Boyce, asked about her boyfriend’s private parts and talked about Sheryl’s sex life with Rob.

Boyce also claims wrongful termination against both Rob and Sheryl, in addition to unpaid wages and other labor code violations.

Larry Stein, the Lowes’ attorney, said the lawsuit “seeks to drag (Lowe’s) wife and children into the fray” with “false allegations.”

Hmmm. What do you think? Guilty or not?  I don’t know what to make out of it but where there is smoke, there is fire. Won’t doubt if there’s a whole lot of truth in this.

Appearing on this morning’s Today show (above) Gibson said she returned to work, despite the harassment, because “I love the children. I needed the job. I thought it would get better, and I was scared.”

Lowe’s attorney, Stanton “Larry” Stein, who also appeared on the show, vehemently denied Gibson’s claims.

Lowe came clean about the suit on the Huffington Post last week, claiming that the nanny was falsely accusing him of inappropriate conduct in order to get $1.5 million in “hush money.” (They are suing the nanny for allegedly spreading malicious lies about them.)

“My family is devastated at this betrayal,” he wrote. “This woman worked in our home and traveled with us off and on for seven years, without complaint.” – US magazine

Omg! I don’t know what to make of this but heck she stayed on off and on for seven years and it makes me wonder perhaps she likes him sticking his hand down her pants or perhaps the whole thing is fabricated! What do you say to that?
