MSNBC scores exclusive live Birkhead interview…misses UN Iran vote…

I don’t know how they did it but Michelle Kosinski had an exclusive live interview on MSNBC with Larry Birkhead just now. The interview lasted for about 12 minutes. Unfortunately for MSNBC right around that time the UN Security Council unanimously imposed a new round of sanctions on Iran. CNN and FNC were both carrying that event live. MSNBC went to commercial after a quick “talking producer” update before returning to the U.N story.

Extensions…

…but not of the contract variety. MSNBC’s Amy Robach got them

As soon as I was approached by Today show producers to get hair extensions for a piece on the growing popularity of extensions… I was excited! It’s funny because everyone seemed so nervous for me, like I was jumping out of a plane without a parachute!

Yes, I’ve seen the photos of a bald Britney Spears and the reports she had bad hair extensions, but I figured worst-case scenario I’d end up with a short bob for the summer. However, my experience has truly been best-case scenario. My hair is much thicker, a little longer, and so much fun to style. I lost a lot of hair following the birth of my second baby and I feel like I have my hair back from my college days, even a little more than I ever had.

My fear is that when they take these extensions out in a couple of months, I will fall into deep depression when I see how thin my real hair actually is, now that I’m used to all of these luxurious locks.
