Ross Matthews and Holly Madison designed to stage their very own Hair Battle with Celebrity Hairstylist Derek J from Hair Battle Spectacular and with Terrence Davidson who is a celebrity hairstylist and wig master.  Davidson is the man behind Nicki Minija’s spectacular hairstyles and designed her famous Grammy 2011 wig.  Ross said he loved Niki’s look and Madison said “it was the Bride of Frankenstein but with reverse colors.”

Two brunette hair models were presented as part of the challenge.  The challenge?  As Ross put it “at this year’s Golden Globe Awards Sandra Bullock had the right dress with the wrong hair.”  Indeed a lot of people were horrified by her full frontal bangs and choppy long jagged straight strands.

Ross explained that the two celebrity stylists literally had a commercial break to transform their models, who had similar brunette hair to Sandra Bullock’s Golden Globes look, from a Hair Don’t into a Hair Do.  Ross said it would make Sandra’s original look work.  He also admitted that the two stylists didn’t have a lot of time to do their magic transformation.

Catt Sadler at The E Countdown To The 2011 Academy Awards Red Carpet examined the secrets celebrities and their stylists use to keep backless, low cut and barely-there gowns smooth and sexy.  Catt asked Celebrity Stylist Alissia Marciana how the stars keep from falling out of their gorgeous gowns on the Red Carpets.

Indeed, both the designers, the stylists and the stars do their best to avoid booty baring disasters.   Marciano explained how celebrities keep their backless gowns perfectly in place on their bodies.  Afterall, backless gowns are a huge trend on the Red Carpets right now as demonstrated by Anne Hathaway who wore a breathtaking backless Armani Prive sparkly gown at the recent Golden Globes.

Self-Adhesive Breast Cups

Marciana explained that the gorgeous Hathaway’s stylist most likely created the star’s lift and perky bust line with self-adhesive breast cups.   Anyone can purchase the self-adhesive breast cups.  Marciana demonstrated how to use them on a model.  She pointed out that the cups go in the front just like a regular bra and it provides lots of lift and cleavage depending on where you place the cups.

On Sunday, February 27th on NBC’s Today Show, co-hosts Lester Holt and Jenna Wolfe discussed the children’s chorus at PS22 which was hand-picked by co-hostess Anne Hathaway to perform at the Academy Awards.

The chorus is made up of 5th graders and they are being flown across the country by The Academy.  The kids are from Staten Island and are famous for their “huge voices.”

Jenna and Lester showed a clip of the children singing and explained the group had performed at the Today Show Christmas Party.

They both agreed it’s definitely a lifetime for the kids who are not aware of the significance of their performance.

The co-hosts explained that the kids are excited and think it will be fun, but are so young they are not aware that the Academy Awards are broadcast around the world to literally millions of people in many different countries.  They may not totally realize the magnificent opportunity they have been given.

The children’s choir will be singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow.  Jenna and Lester agreed the kids just might steal the show.  They are definitely cute and very talented.

When interviewed about their trip to The Academy Awards some of the members of the chorus said “to go to the Oscars is huge, huge, huge.”   They said “it’s like you’re dreaming.”
