EXCLUSIVE PHOTO: Charlize Theron Going Bald?

After paparazzi snapped a pic of Charlize Theron sans hair Monday, Hollywood’s elite began expressing their concern.

“I thought the worst, like maybe she’d contracted lice or something,” Mel Gibson told OMGG.com. “But I kept my fingers crossed that she’d gone bald for a positive reason, like becoming a racist skinhead.”

We caught up with the Prometheus star this morning, who said the real reason she broke out her BIC — a receding hairline.

“She should’ve called me before taking such a drastic step,” fellow actor Matthew McConaughey told us. “I’ve got the best hair plug guy in town!”
