Bruce Willis gives hope to bald guys everywhere

It always does my heart good to see a fellow bald guy in the company of a lovely woman, so I'm thrilled at the news that Bruce Willis, 54, has married Emma Heming, a 30-year-old model and actress.

Bruno gives all bald guys a little hope.

Think of Willis as the star of one of those old movies about a prison break. He's the prisoner who makes it over the wall, the escapee cheered on by all the other inmates as he dodges guards, bullets and German shepherds before disappearing into the night. The others are still stuck behind the barbed wire, but his example shows them that maybe they can bust out someday, too.

I know. Willis isn't your typical bald guy. He's a famous movie star. He got married to Demi Moore (back before he lost his hair). And he has plenty of cash to cover that bald head. Still, he's part of the club, and it's encouraging to see a fellow follicly challenged fellow find such happiness.

Unlike Willis, I don't have plenty of cash to cover my head, but I was able to make the break 10 years ago, and I'd like to think there were at least a couple follicly challenged guys in the pews cheering just a little bit.
