01.21.11Yay Or Nay: Sideshow RihannaWaiting in my inbox this morning, this lovely picture of Rihanna from HOTB reader & commenter Jumbly with this comment: She really does look like Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons! Couldn't have said it better myself. But still... It looks like a fun wig to wear. Yes, it's totally insane, but if you were a super famous pop star, wouldn't you wear crazy wigs to nightclubs occasionally? Maybe??

01.12.11Yay or Nay: Rachel’s Electric LookRachel McAdams is a gorgeous girl, but I'm not feeling this look--a Snooki poof and bright yellow eyeliner is not flattering on anyone. This seems like something you'd mess around with at home, realize you look craaazy, laugh at yourself, and wash off. Instead, Rachel's stylist told her she looked AMAZING and sent her to the UK premiere of Morning Glory. OK, a washed out picture from a distance looks better! Rachel's print dress with plunging neckline is by Suno. It's not terrible... Actually, the fit up top is pretty awful. Also, these purple satin Charlotte Olympia shoes ...

11.20.10Ke$ha’s FauxhawkAt Thursday night's Us Weekly Hot Hollywood party, Ke$ha wore her hair in a fauxhawk that I have a feeling was a.) a last minute decision, and b.) not guided by a professional hair stylist. Also, if Ke$ha is so craaazy and 'garbage chic', why didn't she just shave her hair into a real mohawk? Nice gold tooth too! Do you like this look on Ke$ha?

11.11.10Scouser WAG’s Weave is F’edThis unfortunate weave-owner is Alex Gerrard. She's wife of Liverpool soccer/football/whatever captain Steven Gerrard. I have no idea who either of them are, but they're apparently famous in the UK. There are so many phrases in this Daily Mail piece that I had to look up! WAG? (An acronym used by the British tabloids to describe the wives and girlfriends of high-profile football players. Oh!) Scouser? (Someone who comes from Liverpool. Um. Oook.) Chuffed? (Pleased or delighted.) This is kind of fun, actually! And it's weird that WAG, scouser and chuffed all sound like they're going to be bad things, ...

08.18.10Yay Or Nay: Angelina's BangsI've been asked a couple times today what I think of Angelina Jolie's bangs. Well, I'm not loving them. Bangs are tricky. Trust me, I struggle with my own! But I don't like the curled-under aspect of these. It looks dated and is aging on her. And she's the most beautiful woman in the world! It's pretty hard to make her look less than totally amazing. The side view of Angelina's updo is weird too. Not liking this. And her bangs should be more side-swept than curled under. They need to be blow dried with a boar bristle round brush so ...

07.24.10Brit's Weave: Just Like Us?This week people are talking about Britney Spears' extensions. Again. Some more. Things look pretty a-ok from the front, but the back is a big hot mess. I can't exactly figure out what is going on here... It looks like really badly applied extensions on top of a lack of hair, I guess? Ken Paves told People that is wasn't that big of a deal. (Um?) He says it's just, " a case of bed head. Who hasn’t had it?" he asks. "The truth is that this is exactly how these extensions are applied," Ken continues, "however we are not supposed ...

04.19.10Bad Hair DayHave you ever cried over a bad haircut? If so, you're not alone. A recent poll by ShopSmart, a magazine published by Consumer Reports, showed that a fourth of women (26%) have cried after getting a haircut. Forty-four percent say their mood has been affected by a bad hair day and a third say they have regretted a style change. So, tell me--have you guys ever cried over a bad haircut? Whenever I went to a new stylist, I use to ask them to tell me their best story about a client freaking out in their chair. But I never got ...

04.15.10Still BozoIt's kind of amazing to me that Rumer Willis keeps up this rather bad intense shade of red hair. I mean, she's had this look for sooo long now. Can't she get an appointment with her mom's stylist?

03.06.10Love U, Hate Ur HairWhen hair is wrong it's just wrong, but actress Mena Suvari's hair at the 3rd Annual Women In Film Pre-Oscar Party this week was 32 flavors of wrong. Still, I kind of...love it? Mainly because I lurve her. I'm obsessed with old episodes of Six Feet Under. And recently I've been watching season four when Mena Suvari played Claire's art school friend/crush Edie. She's awesome in that role, and they really captured that time in your life. God, I love that show. Anyway. It's always seemed like Mena Suvari was just quirky in real life. OK, though, I can't loose perspective. This ...
