SIXTEEN CANDLES: Tonight, MTV viewers will be treated to an uncharacteristically poignant episode of the network’s hit series “My Super Sweet 16.” The reality show, which typically chronicles the party-planning exploits of America’s most overindulged adolescents, will air a special installment in which one cancer-stricken teen will receive a full head of hair. Stephanie White of Lindenhurst, N.Y, who suffers from lymphoma and lost nearly all of her hair due to chemotherapy, asked the program’s producers to help restore her long, flowing tresses. The show’s staffers enlisted the expertise of hairstylist Rodolfo Valentin, who coiffed the birthday girl with raven-colored Hair Infusion extensions. And, to complement Valentin’s efforts, the folks at MTV tapped Heatherette to whip up a red-and-black studded gown, according to White’s specifications. Of course, the music network did not leave the teen all dressed up with no place to go — producers threw the birthday girl a bash at Manhattan’s cavernous Roseland Ballroom.
