Fur ball of the day: Craig Ramsey

Hugh Jackman shaves his head

Some folks wondered about Hugh Jackman's fully grown beard he was sporting during the Tony Awards Sunday night.

Well, now, transformation continues.

Posted to his Instagram account: "Blackbeard is born. #PAN"

In the pic, Jackman shows off his newly shaved head in anticipation for the upcoming Pan - a remake of Peter Pan, which is set for a July 17, 2015 release.

Prince Harry ordered to lose the "Prince Hairy" look by the Queen

The Queen of England has apparently decreed that "Prince Hairy" return to his clean-shaven state of Prince Harry.

While he was allowed to keep the fur through the holidays so his girlfriend Cressida Bonas could enjoy, the Queen "strongly advises" her staff to not grow beards as she feels it look unkempt and not very professional.

According to a report in the Sunday Express by royal writer Phil Dampier, the Queen "soon let her displeasure be known" with Harry's rugged new look and reportedly thinks it is difficult to enforce the no-beards rule when her own grandson has grown one.

And so, the royal "polar beard" must go.

I think he looks rather handsome with the fur.

Talk about "labor"

Yes, this has something to do with Labor Day.

Look at how much labor furry man put into those abs.  It would be a crime not to appreciate that labor.

Happy Labor Day.
