Snippets
 A
couple of bits of pop singer hair news. No Doubt's GWEN
STEFANI recently said in a USA Today interview
that she has grown tired of her hot pink color. No word on what she's
changing to, mainly because she said she didn't know. I gotta admit
though, Gwen has managed to make the pink and platinum combo much more
attractive than I ever thought it could be. v
Second tidbit concerns 1999's Best New Artist Grammy Winner (easily the
most...uh...respected award they give), CHRISTINA
AGUILERA. Christina said in an Entertainment
Weekly interview a few weeks ago that she has also tired of her
platinum hair color and, much to the chagrin of her management, wants to
try being a brunette. And yes, I'm suddenly getting that same "Angelina
Jolie at the Oscars" vibe you are. v
Ran across this pic of
TISHA CAMPBELL
of "Martin" fame and  wouldn't
have even recognized her if the caption didn't have her name in it.
Tisha was always known for the sleek bob she wore (except for the crop
she had for a while from filming "Major Payne").
Needless to say, I think the wild mass of blondish curls looks fantastic on
her. And to think she wasted all that time wearing the bob when she
could have looked like this.
 I
fear that some type of professional thief is stalking the cast of the new
"Charlie's Angels" movie. First Cameron
Diaz had her eyebrows stolen and now DREW
BARRYMORE has suffered the same fate. Tragic, just
tragic. I guess we can just hope that the next victim is Bill Murray
and not Lucy Liu. Not that I have anything against Bill, but, really,
who would you rather see eyebrowless?
v
COURTNEY COX ARQUETTE
showed up at the Aniston/Pitt nuptial with bangs to go with the  long
locks she's worn for the past year. Can't get a final call on how
good they look since she's wearing sunglasses, but even with the shade,
I think you'll agree that they appear to complete the style perfectly.
If Courtney keeps this up she could go from my personal list of most reviled
hair on TV (due to last year's Morticia Adams 'do) to next year's "Best
Hair on TV" List. Heck, if I don't get it done soon, she could make
this year's.
 Over
time, I have instituted various hair growth watches when an actress has
gotten a particularly short and/or unflattering style. In the past
we have (and continue to follow) the follicular progress of Liv Tyler,
Sheryl Crow, Bai Ling, and, of course, this month's cover girl Keri Russell.
To this list, we now add JUDITH
LIGHT. After ending her stint in the road company
of "W;t", she has re-sprouted a short crop
of blonde hair from her formerly bald pate. Stay tuned kids, and
I'll keep you up to date with Judith's progress back to her formerly big
haired self. v
Almost forgot, word is that model
KRISTY
HUME
had chopped off her trademark waist-length blonde
locks into a shorter style. Also that fellow model
SHALOM
HARLOW
has followed suit, though Shalom's hair was much
shorter that Kristy's. How short did they go? What do the new
styles look like? Don't have clue one, since I couldn't find any
photographic evidence of either one. Everyone seems to know about
it, but no one can get a pic to prove it. Kinda like Bigfoot, but
different. If any of you amateur Columbos (kids, ask your parents)
out there that can dig up a picture, send it on and I'll put it in the
next column.

Name
That Celebrity!
So, I went from incredibly challenging to an absolute
gimme. There has GOT to be a middle ground here somewhere. For
the couple of you that didn't guess them, the mystery celebs were...
Mystery Celebrity
#1: VANESSA L. WILLIAMS
Mystery Celebrity
#2: WHITNEY HOUSTON
In the avalanche of correct entries, the first person in was...
Elizabeth
Neal!
Way to go Elizabeth. The next 9 correct
guessers in order were
Blondee897, Amanda Estep, Donnae57,
Kerry Lewis, Judi Gronseth, Joy (JaggedLion), Korin Jobb,
Meghan Duddleston, and Tammy Keiffer

On to this month's contest. As usual, I give
you either a picture of a celebrity from early in their life or career
with some completely different look or I disguise a current picture.
You then have to tell me who the celebrity in question is. Simple
enough? Of course.
You know me and themes. I find one I like and
difficulty be damned. Well, I may have burned myself again, but I
couldn't resist...
Who are the two glamorous '80s models (now
former models) pictured below ?
Mystery Celebrity
#1:
Mystery Celebrity
#2:
Only hint is that both are better known
now for other stuff. What other stuff? How easy do you want
me to make it? Sheesh.

or Email your guess to JerkyFlea@HairBoutique.com
with the subject "JerkyFlea Contest". (NOTE: PLEASE BE SURE
TO USE THAT SUBJECT LINE SO THAT IT DOESN'T GET LOST IN MY EMAIL!
THANKS!)
As usual, THE FIRST PERSON to send
me the correct answer for BOTH gets a hearty virtual handshake and
pat on the back...and their name featured in the next column. The
next nine just get their name in the column. Sure, it's a subtle
difference, but those yellow letters don't come cheap. Good Luck!
Did
Ya Know?
 Since
I had a bit of news on CHRISTINA
APPLEGATE earlier, I figure it's a good time to include
a "Did Ya Know?" tidbit on her. On "Married...With
Children", her character, Kelly, was portrayed as a brainless bimbo (by the
way, if this is news to you, I have a disturbing update on the Hindenburg for
you), known for her revealing clothing and mane of blonde hair. Toward the
end of the run of the series, Christina decided to cut her hair, first in a
short Rachel shag and then even shorter.
 
Since this new hairstyle didn't fit the image the
producers wanted Kelly to project, they had Christina wear a longish wig
for the last couple of seasons of the show.
The more interesing part is that if you look closely
at the reruns, you'll notice that the wig inexplicable changes about midseason
of the first year they made her wear it.
 
Why would they change wigs when the second one was
almost identical to the first, but just different enough to be noticeable?
Well, they didn't really have a choice. The first wig was destroyed
in canine related incident. Yup, that's right, Lucky, the dog on
the show, ate the first wig.
Don't you just hate it when that happens?
As usual, JerkyFlea
If the use of any picture
in this column violates the copyright of an individual or organization
and needs to be removed, please let me know and it will be taken down.
Love the column?
Hate the column?
Always wondered why
they call it a column?
Let me know. All raves welcomed
and hatemail expected!
Got a hot tip?
Got an inside scoop?
Got another overused
cliché?
Send it on. Make me the
Matt Drudge of celebrity hair news!
Finally, are you the
star mentioned in the column?
Did you like or loathe
what I said?
And why the heck are
you reading this instead of out being famous or something?
Drop me a line. Let me have
my brush with greatness and I’ll air your side!
