Breaking News: Newsom's Haircare Product Revealed

March 17, 2009 will go down in the history books, and Ryan Seacrest will be looked back on as the Woodward/Bernstein of our time. See, the American Idol host blew the lid off of one Gavin Newsom's biggest secrets yesterday. While on his Golden State tour, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's finally --finally! -- revealed his haircare product of choice on on KIIS-FM (102.7).

Michael Finnegan of the Los Angeles Times describes how the walnut was cracked.

Gavin Newsom may be running for governor of California, but "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest had something else in mind during his Tuesday morning radio chat with the San Francisco mayor: "What is that product that you put in your slick, shiny hair?"

"L'Oreal," Newsom responded. "And it's the Clean Gel. It's the Total Control Clean Gel, because they've got seven or eight products, and the other ones don't work."

OK, maybe this news is already out there. But still, a mystery solved on our end.

Also, L'Oreal? You might as well use LA Looks, Gavin. We had you pegged you as a Bumble & Bumble or American Crew type. What's next, finding out you shampoo with Prell?

I have literally been waiting YEARS for this information. I would like to point out that he told Fernando y Greg on 92.7 that it was a "blend" but none the less, I'm on my way to Wallgreens...

I thought it was KY.

You buy by the gallon at Costco... why do you think his wife is pregnant?

Oh great. Now he's going to get a free crate of the stuff. If he does, at least I know he won't be spending his Campaign money on "hair products"

he also uses their hair color ... fecal brown #2

He drinks, he screws around, he has hard hair. He's the Donald Draper of our time! Only not as cigarette-y. And not as cool. And his wife isn't as cute. And he'd lose in a fist fight. And he uses cheaper hair product.

I was pulling for Murray's pommade or some Brylcreme. Something a little throw-back. Totally disappointed.

Is it any surprise this item is already sold out on Amazon?
