Is Michelle Obama going bald? That was the question on everyone's minds Tuesday when the first lady made an appearance on "Jeopardy," with many viewers taking to Twitter to inquire about her coif.
Of course, it was just lighting, camera angles, and a slicked-back ponytail that made Obama appear bald as she provided answers related to healthy eating in a pre-recorded spot to promote her "Let's Move!" anti-childhood
obesity campaign, the New York Daily News noted.
"All people could talk about was (Obama's) hair — or apparent lack thereof,"
the Kansas City Star's Lisa Gutierrez wrote of the follicle fallout. "As Obama gave answers to questions about healthy eating, viewers on social media started freaking out about her hair, which was pulled back tightly from her face."
The Twitter posts poured in starting Tuesday evening with comments about Obama's hair spanning the gambit.
