Has Drew Peterson Ruined Rob Lowe's Hair, Parks and Rec?
The mystery behind Rob Lowe's hair in this season of Parks and Recreation was needed to keep his hair longer for a movie he was doing for Lifetime, Entertainment Weekly reports.
Drew Peterson may be in jail, awaiting trial on murder charges, but according to Entertainment Weekly, he's the cause of Rob Lowe's questionable new haircut on NBC's hit sitcom "Parks and Recreation.
From Entertainment Weekly:
Rob Lowe is not just a handsome man, but quite possibly the handsomest man. It’s kind of his thing. So seeing him with even one hair out of place is the equivalent of you or I literally walking around wearing a live wolverine as a hairpiece. But since this season began, Lowe’s Chris Traeger has styled an unkempt helmet of hair that begs for some explanation. Any explanation. Like, does Chris think long, lumpy hair protects his immune system? I keep waiting for one of the characters to call him on it, to let us know that they’re in on the joke. And to reassure us that Rob Lowe’s real hair is okay.

Well, turns out, Suave Lowe is on his way back. According to the show’s executive producer Mike Schur, the mystery behind Traeger’s hair was not a Parks and Recreation thing. Rather, Lowe simply needed to keep his hair longer for a movie he was doing for Lifetime. “His hair will go back to last year’s style around episode 5 or 6,” Schur says via email.
