Scoop
Two bits of scoopage this month; both coming, bizarrely
enough, from now-defunct, Saturday morning teen shows. Nothing cutting
edge, but kinda interesting nonetheless, since both involve shedding the
teen image the stars in question cultivated on the shows:
  First,
we have the lesser scoop on CYNTHIA
DANIEL (left) and BRITTANY
DANIEL (right), who portrayed the twins, Jessica and
Elizabeth respectively, on "Sweet Valley High".
Though their hairstyles changed over the course of the series...
 
...they always were the same (except possibly
for the bangs, but you get the point). How else could they repeatedly
do the never-fail switching roles storyline? Anyway, as the series
wound down, the twins got pretty tired of looking alike as is evidence
by this quote from an interview they gave (where T1 is Brittany and T2
is Cynthia):
When their
"SVH" contract runs out, T1 and T2 are busting loose: T1 is going to dye
her hair red, and T2 is going to cut it short. "I'm just sick of the little
blond hair, blue eyes, California girl look," says T2 in disgust. "I hate
that," harmonizes T1. "We look like everybody else."
Well, I don't know about Brittany's red hair,
but Cynthia definitely lopped hers off. As a matter of fact, you've
probably seen her in Biore and "10-10-9000" commercials recently.
And if you haven't check out the pictures shown here (from the
Sweet
Valley Style Files).
 
Oh, and if you were wondering, yes, the
more conservative twin in real life played the wilder one on the show and
vice versa. I think that's some sort of showbiz law.

 Second
bit of minor, but more current, scoopage also concerns the snipping of
blonde locks after leaving a show...except in this case, it was narrowly
averted. ASHLEY LYN CAFAGNA,
known as Liz on "Saved By The Bell: The New Class"
and now as Kimberly on "The Bold and The Beautiful",
wanted to cut her hair after her show ended, but didn't get the chance.
Here's the story from Soap Opera Digest:
Ashley Lyn Cafagna
(Kimberly) has beautiful, long tresses, but no long ago, she planned to
change that because of a certain celeb. "I love Cameron Diaz," Cafagna
enthuses. "Before I got Bold and Beautiful, I was going to start
auditioning for pilot season, so I wanted a new look."..."I was going to
cut my hair off," reveals Cafagna. "I've worn it long my WHOLE life.
I was looking through magazines at different styles, and I decided on Cameron's
cut." However, before Cafagna could make a trip to her neighborhood salon, she auditioned for and won the role of Kimberly. Does that
mean we may soon be seeing the character in a Diaz 'do? "I WON'T
be cutting it," sighs Cafagna.
 So
there you are; destined for a major cut but for the grace of CBS.
The only question remains is which particular Cameron 'do was she thinking
of? Her current shag? Her "There's Something About Mary" bob?
Or, heaven forbid, her super short crop? Well, like the number of
licks it takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop, the
world may never know.
