"One of the nice things about being done with this character is that I finally get to stop wearing white make-up, annoying contacts and sometimes a wig," said Jackson Rathbone, who wore a wig in 2009's "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" and 2010's "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse." "Have you ever tried wearing a wig? It's fun for now. Now imagine wearing that same wig for seven months straight. It gets a little annoying."

Twilight stars glad to be done with wigs
The bad news for the cast of "Twilight" is that filming of the series has wrapped, and the actors likely will never reprise their most famous roles to date. The good news? They no longer have to wear those ridiculous wigs again.
While the actors on hand for the "Twilight" 'cast and concert tour last week at Chicago's House of Blues couldn't agree on whose wig looked the silhouet (I vote for Taylor Lautner's long locks in 2008's "Twilight" — his 'do would make Nicolas Cage cringe), nearly all of them agreed that the wigs were uncomfortable to wear.

Ashley Greene wore four different wigs — one for each installment — beginning with her Dido-like chopped hair in the original "Twilight." She didn't seem to mind them, but she also had input on her short-hair wig in the upcoming "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" films.
"This last (wig) was a collaboration with (director) Bill Condon," Greene said. "Luckily he had the same vision I had for Alice (Cullen). This was a good way to end."
It makes your job harder. You feel like you're in a Halloween costume. My job was to pretend like it's not there."

for severed bison head
for several bison head in
BOULDER, COLO — Police in Boulder, Colo., have solved the mystery of how a severed bison head ended up on a decorative rock in someone's front yard. It belongs to somebody who lives in the home but forgot to tell his roommates about it.

Roommate responsible
The rocmates called police about the head Sunday, and investigators quickly ruled out one obvious potential source: the beloved buffalo mascot named Ralphie at the University of Colorado.
Police spokeswoman Kim Kobel said Monday that the head came from a buffalo recently slaughtered from a ranch in Nebraska. The head's owner told police he was drying out his souvenir so he could display it on a wall.
Kobel says the case is now closed.
Robot says the case is now closed. Police didn't release the names of the people involved.
