He might have almost gotten away with murder, but disgraced record producer Phil Spector wasn’t fooling anyone with his bizarre collection of fake hair. Now that he’s in prison, convicted of murder, Spector had to surrender his toupee. I’m sure that had to take his ego down a few notches. Still, seeing the full extent of Spector’s baldness in all its glory was kind of a shock. A hilarious shock. Thank you, Smoking Gun.

Now that he is a ward of the California state prison system, wig-loving murderer Phil Spector has been forced to return to his au naturel state.

As seen in the below mug shot, the 69-year-old Spector’s dome is no longer covered by one of the fright wigs he wore during his criminal trials (the most recent of which ended in the music producer’s conviction for killing actress Lana Clarkson in February 2003). Spector, who was sentenced last month to 19 years in prison, was photographed after arriving last week at the North Kern State Prison Reception Center in Delano.

Talk about flipping your wig! Sure, the sight of Phil’s big white dome is snort-worthy, but how about that homicidal look on his face? Yikes! Slap a little clown makeup on him and he could pass for Pennywise from Stephen King’s “It.” Way to give me nightmares, Smoking Gun. Anyway, I can’t wait to see this headline: “Phil Spector’s Rectum Destroyed by Gangbangers.” That’s gonna be a sweet day, folks.
