One Small Snip For Neil...

...One Giant Lawsuit For His Barber (Maybe)

It's certainly proof that celebrities have very different problems from the rest of us schleps. Then again, it's also proof that Neil Armstrong is indeed still a celebrity.

The man who first set foot on the moon used to get his hair cut at Marx's Barber shop in Cincinnati, OH. Not anymore... not since he found out Marx Sizemore has been collecting the clippings and selling them.

As you might imagine, the space pioneer isn't pleased about any of this. When he found out about a collector who'd bought some of the clippings for $3,000, Armstrong called Sizemore. Neil Armstrong, quite simply, wanted his hair back.

So Sizemore called the broker who bought the clippings and reportedly sold them to John Reznikoff, cited in the Guinness Book Of Records as the man with the biggest collection of celebrities' hair in the world. It's insure for $1 million. 

Sizemore said the broker refused to undo the deal.

"I called Neil back and told him that," Sizemore told the Associated Press. "Then I got this letter from his lawyer."

The letter said Sizemore had violated an Ohio law designed to protect the rights of celebrities. Armstrong's attorney demanded Sizemore either return the clippings, hand over his profits from the deal to charity and in any case, pony up for Armstrong's legal fees.

Sizemore said no to all. He's already spent the money. It looks like the case will... head... to court.
