    I make guys have to pee
    and girls comb their hair.
    I make celebrities look stupid
    and normal people look like celebrities.
    I turn pancakes brown
    and make your champane bubble.

    The answer is 'No'.
    You have not included the whole question.
    See: http://talk.thewb.com/viewtopic.php?topic=687986&forum=1&start=0

    The actual question is 'Can you guess the riddle?' and the answer, given by most kindergarten kids and very few Harvard graduates is, 'No'.

    I have a possible answer though not quite sure
    air
    I read somewhere before that polar bear hair is colourless but trapped air makes it look white (don't ask for an explanation, I don't have one).
    You'd want to comb your hair if wind (moving air) messes it up.
    The pancake probably needs air to cook (either for the heat or the reaction taking place while cooking).
    Champagne bubbles (bubbles of air).
    The celebrity thing might be about "hot air" and being full of it.
    If you squeeze me I'll pop (bubble wrap, balloons? either way air)
    The pee thing *shrug* maybe air being used by the body, leading to peeing.
    No idea about the last one.
    If I'm wrong (which is very possible) don't blame me, I'm not 100% certain but thought I'd throw it out there what with the lack of other suggestions.

    i thought the bubbles in champagne were CO2 not air.

    The answer's "no"

    I don't like it to be honest, a bit of a cheat.

    Even though minutes after this thread started spurious gave you the right answer AND linked to the rest of the "riddle" AND an explanation of the whole thing?

    Why on earth did you do that?

    air contains a whole load of gases, and the bubbles are not air, no matter what way you look at it.
