Move over Ken Paves and Kim Vo, there's a new celebrity hairstylist coming to Hollywood, and he's done the 'do of First Lady Michelle Obama.
Johnny Wright, who styled Michelle Obama's hair for the Democratic National Convention and her upcoming Vogue cover, has inked a deal with 44 Blue to star in his own reality show, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"There aren't many people of color doing makeover and beauty shows," 44 Blue executive VP Stephanie Drachkovitch told the entertainment trade mag. "We figured there's got to be somebody out there with a mainstream clientele, but brings a different point of view."
Drachkovitch admitted the connection to the First Lady has helped Wright's reality show take off.

Whoa...whoa...whoa..."There aren't many people of COLOR doing makeover and beauty shows"?
What a way for a Jewish media queen to talk about their fellow "chosen people"!
The last time my Sicilian/Anglo mother called a colored person a "colored girl" about 20 years ago, you thought the skies were gonna open up and rain Jeri-Curl and Lee Press-On Nails down upon her!
So it's ok to own one and call them colored again?
I'm talking about televisions you twits!
