 "They
say we're young and we don't know and won't find out until we grow..."
For
those of you that have seen "Groundhog Day",
you'll recognize those Sonny and Cher lyrics as what Bill Murray heard
every morning when we woke up to start the same day over again. Every
day when the radio came on he heard "I Got You Babe" in a seemingly endless,
unchanging cycle. I thought that would be appropriate since you've
probably been thinking the same thing about that picture of Lauren Holly
that's been up since March.
Needless to say, I'm back. I want to thank
everyone who dropped me a not asking about me or the column. Everything
is cool, just had a bunch of personal an professional things come up that
made it impossible to do the column. Hopefully, things are now back
on track.
To get the ball rolling again, this is a pretty short
column to bring you up to speed on some of the stuff that's happened in
my absence. Just hitting the high points on this one, though I am
debating a format change that may result in shorter columns, but more frequent
updates. We'll see.
In the meantime, here's some new stuff so you can
start thinking about celebrity hair again and stop wondering about less
important stuff like why Northern Bathroom Tissue thinks we care that their
toilet paper is lint free (are there folks out there having real problems
with dust bunnies in their underwear? But I digress).
Oh, and before you ask, that's DENISE
RICHARDS
at the MTV Movie Awards on the cover.
No story on her, but I couldn't let that picture go by without using it.
Truly a case of hair by Cuisinart. Anyway, here we go....
Updates,
The Latest, etc.
 At
the Oscars, ANGELINA JOLIE's
"Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, at a funeral" outfit was only overshadowed
by her demonstration of affection to her sibling James (to paraphrase Janine
Garafalo from "The Truth About Cats and Dogs":
It's OK to love your brother, just don't LOVE your brother). What
you probably didn't notice underneath her Halloween costume of a fall,
was that her hair around her temples and in front of her ears appeared
virtually shaven. Why? No idea, but she was filming a new flick
with Antonio Banderas at the time, so maybe it was in the plot somehow.
She shaved her head for "Gia", so I wouldn't
put it past her to do something similar again.
Since then, it has grown back to the point that you'd
never even notice it unless you looked really close and wondered why that
part of her hair is only a couple of inches long. But I doubt you
did. Given the rather distracting and continuing "Adventures of Angelina
and Billy Bob in Hollywoodland", how could you?
vvv
 As
you are probably well aware by now, JULIA
ROBERTS
cut her hair for her role in "The
Mexican" with Brad Pitt. She's gone from below her shoulders
to a layered rounded bob that falls around chin length. It may not
actually be quite as short as it appears, however, since she is still wearing
it curly, which by default shrinks the length. Interestingly, I don't
think she's actually worn this style before, even given the rather large
number of style permutations she's gone through in the last few years.
Anyway, though I prefer her hair longer, this is
kind of cute. Not her best choice, but not bad. Then again,
maybe I'm just under reacting because Julia went to the trouble of warning
us during her appearance on "Oprah" that she
was going to cut it. In other words, when you're picturing Winona
Ryder's hair and get Elizabeth Shue's, you're relieved. Now, as long
as she starts growing it back out after the movie...
By the way, SHERYL
CROW has continued to let her hair grow and is even wearing hers
curly again as well. The irony of that is that, except for
the color, Sheryl now has the exact same hairstyle as Julia Roberts.
Don't know why, but I just find that odd for some reason.
 
Oh, and if you are wondering, it looks better on
Sheryl than Julia. Well, in that first picture, at least. I
gotta say Sheryl shouldn't have gone blonde...
vvv
 At
the Oscars, CHARLIZE THERON
had traded her extensions for a darker, pin curled, classic '40s (or '30s or
'20s - pick your decade) bob. I didn't particularly like the style, since
I personally found it very unflattering on her, but I was glad to see her get
rid of the extensions and take advantage of her layered bob. Well, since
then, she has cut her hair short again to sort of a longish Hillary-Swank-in-"Boys
Don't Cry" style.  Not exactly flattering,
or even much of a style really. It's just kind of there, in a oddly
overgrown shaggy sort of way. Which is even odder, since it's a fairly
recent cut. That she still looks as good as she does is a testimony
to the fact it isn't that easy to ugly up Charlize Theron. Except,
of course, for that red shag she had in "Reindeer
Games". Ugh.
vvv
 In
keeping with the "not necessarily news, brings you up to date" theme of
the column this time, I have a bit of info on JANE
FONDA's spiffy new cut. If
you saw Jane's hair at the Oscars or since, you know she has traded the
one length, below the shoulders with bangs style she has been wearing for
the past several years for a stylish shag. When she unveiled it at
the Academy Awards ceremony as a presenter, no one realized just HOW new
the 'do was.
 Jane
had gone to Sally Hershberger's trendy new salon the afternoon of the awards
to get her hair done. When Sally asked her what she wanted, Jane
remarked that she really liked Sally's hair, which was a short, messy shag.
So, with that rather spur of the moment decision coupled with Jane's willingness
to try something new, Sally reduced Jane's blonde mane to a slightly longer
version of Sally's very own 'do. So, feel better that you weren't
the only person watching the Oscars and asking yourself, "When did Jane
cut her hair?". Ted was right there with ya. =)
vvv
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Someone should have given that little
piece of advice to everyone's favorite supermodel, CINDY
CRAWFORD. For some reason that I can't figure out, Cindy
decided to get bangs.
 
They don't look bad, but they
did more harm than good. Kind of like putting a spoiler on the back
of a Lexus. Spoilers aren't a bad thing, but the don't belong everywhere.
Some folks need bangs, but Cindy wasn't one of them. And is it me
or do they make her look older?
Oh, and on a tangential Cindy
note, I found out that the early modeling gig at which Cindy got her hair
whacked off even though she didn't want to was for an ad for Ellen Tracy.
They also dyed it very red. Still trying to find a good shot of the
ad to share.
vvv
 A
haircut that does work comes in the form of JANINE
TURNER.
Several columns back, I reported that she had reappeared on the acting
scene with below the shoulder, one-length locks and no bangs. Just did not
look good, as Janine is one of those women who DO need bangs. Well, for
her new series upcoming on Lifetime, she once again had bangs snipped in.
Since then she has gone further and cut it back up to a neck length, layered, shaggish 'do. Think Maggie O'Connell in the last season of "Northern
Exposure". And if you are wondering,
that's a good thing.
vvv
Bit of news on the redhead
front. Both MELISSA
JOAN HART
and JENNA
ELFMAN
went red after their series wrapped for the season. Jenna was able to pull
it off (though she makes a better blonde and Melissa, uh., well, wasn't.
 
My guess is that this is temporary
for both, though it should be even more temporary for Melissa. And those
80s looking crimped waves do NOT help.
vvv
 RENE
RUSSO
has gone shorter. The
new shorter, shaggish cut is still attractive, still flattering, and still
better than her old long blonde waves. However, it doesn't have that
unique, "make every woman in America rush to the salon for the same cut"
look anymore. She's gone from a signature style to simply an attractive
style (notice the similarity to Jane Fonda's new cut). A subtle,
yet important difference.
Snippets
 The
fact that TONI COLLETTE
of "The Sixth Sense" and "Shaft"
currently sports a hairstyle virtually identical to Sara McLachlan
isn't really news, since she's had the style for several months now.
However, I can fill in some details on why it's short and why it looks
like Sara's hair. First Toni shaved her head for (actually in) the
movie "8 1/2 Women". My guess  is
that you are currently wondering when that's coming out to which I would
respond, it's already come and gone. Obviously a good career move,
huh? Anyway, as it has grown back out, she has been having it styled
by the same hairdresser that Sara McLachlan goes to. And, uh, he
doesn't think their hair looks alike. Ok...
EMMA THOMPSON
is going to be filming a version of "W;t"
with Mike Nichols for HBO starting this summer. I would assume that
means that she will be assuming the requisite smooth noggin for the part
as all the actresses before her have. After seeing Emma's hair lately,
it will most likely be an improvement. Actually, this won't be the
first time she's shaved her head (if she does it), since she had previously
shorn herself back in college in the course of a drunken evening.
Nothing more fun than a highly suggestible drunk, huh? =) Oh, and
if you are wondering, I know JUDITH
LIGHT was remaining chrome of dome through May 28 while
she starred with the touring company of "W;t".
Don't know if she is continuing with the role or turning it over to someone
else (since the tour continues into next year) or who that would be.
If I  hear
something, I'll let you know..

And finally, has anyone found CAMERON
DIAZ's eyebrows yet? They've been missing since
before the Oscars. Seems to be one of those senseless crimes...
