STYLE / SOMEONE WILL BE BLAMED
ACTOR CAT DEBUTS SEVERE NEW SHAVE; EXPLAINS NOTHING, FIRES GROOMER ANYWAY.
His vision. Somebody else’s last day.

Prestige actor cat Sterling emerged with a severe new shave and the expression of someone whose mistake had been witnessed. His publicist called it a ‘radical departure.’ From fur, yes.
Sterling declined to identify the role, the director or any reason whatsoever. The groomer was dismissed before lunch for ‘failing to protect the vision.’ Apparently the vision had been very clear when Sterling demanded it twice.
The salon still has his signed instructions. His lawyers would like those shaved as well. Very confidentshul.
