A-Rod Has Something to Hide: Alex Rodriguez has launched a line of makeup for men, starting with his Blur concealer that comes in eight different shades. "I realized as I was jumping from meeting to meeting, I needed something quick and easy in my routine to conceal blemishes or razor bumps," explained Rodriguez on Instagram, where his first photo looks like a space alien's first attempt at smiling.
Everyone's doing their best to keep them birds away from Bojangles.

This A-Rod beauty line reminds me of my missed opportunity in the 1980's. A friend of mine, who is African-American, walked into a club one night and he had a couple of ordinary Band Aids on his head.
When I went up to him he started in to say: "Don't ask what happened, I don't want to talk about it".
But my whole thing was: "Ralph, I could care less what happened to you. We're both going to become millionaires making Band Aids for Black people".
Of course we never did, and of course the mega companies have now gotten into the skin tone adhesive bandage business.
"You don't understand, Charlie. I coulda had class. I coulda been a...major SpoFi sponsor".

Welcome to the Shark Tank. I can offer $100,000 for a 40% stake in the company.
Big Makeup won't stop until men take forever in the bathroom too. And not because we brought the sports page in there.
I'd like to be a fly on the wall at the marketing meetings where they discuss how to make A-Rod seem relatable.
