Crazed shoppers with an affection for hot shirtless guys weren't the only ones out and about scouring for Black Friday deals—disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner went bargain shopping with pregnant wife Huma Abedin. And Weiner took the opportunity to show off the newest addition to their family: his mustache. Check out pictures here, or just gaze longingly at our 'stache approximation. more ›

And this is why sporting a "Hitler" mustache is never a good idea. Police busted serial bank robber Djamil Aziz in Greenwich Village on Saturday night after recognizing his "Hitler-like mustache" on a surveillance camera. "What really caught their eye was his mustache and his height. He's...tall, 6-foot-2, with a Hitler-like mustache," one source told the Post. more ›

Viktor Bout, the Russian national accused of selling arms to rogue nations, is cooling his heels at a Manhattan detention center, after pleading not guilty to terrorism charges. But his wife is trying to get him out by suing Thailand! Alla Bout said, "However absurd it might sound to you, we will be trying to make the Thai government — which released Viktor to the hands of the American authorities — bring him back from the United States to Thailand and release him." more ›

Now that hirsute hipsters reign supreme over old-timey speakeasies, is the DOH cracking down on unsanitary facial hair? Today is April Fool's day, so unfortunately this amusing "report" on CHOW about a Cobble Hill facial hair crackdown is the stuff of fantasy. But isn't high time the Department of Health required all beards, mustaches and aggressive sideburns to be covered with a "mustache net"—and start raiding some of these hair raising establishments? When seen floating in a $12 cocktail, mustache hairs look all too similar to some other types of hair. more ›

This won't please notoriously "image-conscious" gubernatorial candidate Steve Levy. Observer reporter Azi Paybarah tweeted a link to this mock board game, which puts the face of the Suffolk County executive and recently-declared Republican candidate on Borat's scantily-clad body. The game—dubbed "Steve Levy's Wild Mustache Ride To Albany"—evokes allegations of anti-Latino policing under Levy's watch, and references a controversial quote in which he said an anti-bias housing law would make it so that "[e]ven Shaniqua could file a complaint." Levy isn't the first gubernatorial hopeful to get mocked this election season. Attorney General Andrew Cuomo still hasn't officially declared his candidacy, but the Democrat has already been the subject of a fairy tale-themed attack ad. more ›

[UPDATE BELOW] Governor David A. Paterson's facial hair is no more. Days after meeting with President Obama (amid rumors that Obama requested him to leave the governor's race), Paterson has bared all on his face, losing his celebrated mustache before New Yorkers really got a chance to get to know it. The dramatic change was revealed when the governor arrived this morning for a meeting with state leaders. more ›

Yesterday, Governor Paterson joked that his new beard-less look was due to more state budget cutbacks. But it turns out his 15-year-old son asked him to get rid of the beard. The Daily News went to AskMen.com's editor in chief James Bassil for his analysis: "Bassil said mustaches made something of a comeback among urban 'hipsters' this spring, but the trend never went mainstream and is already starting to die out. 'If you see an older guy wearing a mustache, it's usually either out of force of habit - they've had it forever - or it's a midlife crisis,' Bassil said." more ›

Governor Paterson, coming off a week where he decided the media is and isn't racist amid still faltering poll numbers, has made a big change. No, not with his staff or policy—he got rid of his salt-and-pepper beard! Apparently when he was asked why he made the shave, Paterson joked, "More cutbacks." more ›
