Beyonce's little sister was actually stopped so they could search her wig, Romnesia!

Srsly.

After TSA went over her with a fine-toothed comb, Solange went on Twitter to vent her frustrations, telling her followers:

We are totally digg'n this look!

We spotted Oprah looking 70s glamorous on the set on the the set of her new film, The Butler in Funky Town New Orleans!

Our hero was wearing a geometric black and white dress, GIANT hoop earrings and (the groovy cherry on top) one impressive afro wig!

The film spans many decades, so The O has quite a few fabulous retro costumes!

Last week, we got a glimpse of Mz Winfrey in a much more conservative 80s-esque gown with Jane Fonda (who makes an uncanny Nancy Reagan).

We can't tell which we like better — cause we love Oprah in EVERY era!!

Oprah Winfrey may be showing off her natural hair on the new makeover issue of O Magazine, but on the set of The Butler, she is still clearly ALL ABOUT THE WIGS!

The media mogul and sometimes actress is currently playing Gloria Gaines in the Lee Daniels-directed historical drama, which tells the story of a White House butler who serves eight Presidents over the course of three decades, so naturally, she needs a variety of different hairpieces to show her character's many different looks through the times!

Luckily for us, she posted this AH-mazing picture featuring her with all SEVEN of them (above) via Twitter, with the caption:

This Christmas Barbie's rocking a new 'do and it's all thanks to an African-American natural hair group.

The group collected around 40 Barbies to give to the girls at the Booker T. Washington apartments in Columbus, Georgia. But before handing them out, they found an online tutorial that uses pipe cleaners and boiling water to give Barbie's straight hair a natural curly look.

Jennifer Henderson, a member of the group, said: "We wanted to show the girls that basically, it’s okay the way God made you."

That's right because as a certain someone said, you're beautiful in your way ’cause God makes no mistakes!

Seriously?

TSA workers chased down a woman in the Atlanta airport this week so they could search her afro for weapons AFTER she already made it through security.

53 year old Isis Brantley said this sort of thing has never happened to her and she was humiliated by the whole thing.

Can you blame her?
