If you thought you knew Bristol Palin from her spin on Dancing With The Stars (DWTS) or other public appearances think gain.

The always controversial 20-year-old daughter of former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin debuted a shocking new look when she attended the Candie’s Foundation benefit gala in New York on Tuesday, May 3rd.

Besides having much longer, fuller and lusher chocolate cherry tresses, Bristol’s nose and face appear to have received some attention from a plastic surgeon.  She also appears trimmer then when she appeared on DWTS last season.

According to New York-based plastic surgeon Dr. Norman M. Rowe, the young ambassador for abstinence appears to have had some work done.

“The tip of her nose is smaller and more feminine,” Rowe told the Daily News. “This gives a less bulbous look that was present before. The bridge of the nose also appears lower. It’s not as wide as it previously appeared.”

Palin’s formerly round face now looks much slimmer and heart-shaped, with her jawline and cheekbones appearing more defined compared to how she looked six months ago.

Rowe believes Palin also had some work done on her chin.   He told the News  “Many times a chin implant and a rhinoplasty are performed together to change the entire appearance of the face.”

He noted “I don’t see any evidence of fillers and Botox although its not uncommon for someone in their 20’s to begin to use them.”

Since her time in the spotlight on DWTS there have been some speculations that Palin might pursue a career in the entertainment industry.  If so, she would definitely want to put her best foot forward and might invest in hair extensions, plastic surgery, diet, exercise and a complete fashion make-up.

Will Bristol morph into a new hair, beauty and fashion icon before our very eyes?

Sizzling brunette Eva Mendes and beautiful blonde Naomi Watts have been named celebrity ambassadors for Pantene.  The hair ads will show up in July of 2011.

Mendes will be backing the line’s Breakage to Strength collection while Watts will front for the Flat to Volume collection.

Mendes told the media “The amount of torture I put my hair through with flat irons, blow dryers, and curling irons leaves my hair extremely damaged. With Pantene I can use all of these tools and still keep my hair healthy.”

Naomi who has often talked about her hectic post-motherhood schedule said “Since I became a mother, the time I have for myself has shrunk dramatically. Also, I have never been able to do my own hair. So I am thrilled with Pantene because the quality of the products helps me get the volume I want with very little effort at all.”

Just a few days after the Royal Wedding where the bride and her maid of honor wore designs from the Alexander McQueen fashion house, the late designer and the current head of the line, Sarah Burton, was honored in New York.

The design industry gave their nod of approval to the McQueen bridal designs.

On Sunday night celebrities such as Madonna, Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayak, Beyonce, Kate Hudson and many others  graced the Red Carpet at New York’s Museum of Metropolitan Art for the annual Costume Institute Gala to honor the late Alexander McQueen’s contribution to fashion.   Madonna attended the ‘Alexander McQueen:  Savage Beauty’ with her manager Guy Oseary.

Madonna made an appearance in a silky teal blue decadent gown which featured glittery stars down the train. Her ’50s hair, red lips and complementary make-up also enhanced her golden Hollywood look.

Madonna told the media “I miss him.  I think he was a brilliant designer.”

Although McQueen committed suicide last year, the designs he left behind along with the new designs flowing from his fashion house are more popular than ever.  McQueen’s designs have been worn by First Lady Michelle Obama, Kate Moss and Rihanna.

The McQueen ‘Savage Beauty’ exhibit opens to the general public today (5/4/11).  It is the first retrospective of the designer’s gifts.

One of Ellen Degeneres’ favorite guests is Alison Sweeney who hosts NBC’s The Biggest Loser.  On a recent show Ellen surprised Alison with a blast from the past – a photo of the lovely Alison from back in the mid-1990s.

Ellen has a regular segment on her show called Bad Paid For Photos where viewers send in horrible photos they paid to have made.  On the episode where Alison was a guest Ellen had two Bad Photo visitors who showed off horrible hairstyles from the past.

Ellen decided to surprise Alison with her very own Bad Paid For Photo.  The talk show host unveiled a huge blown up photo of Alison.  She told Alison “We have one Bad Paid For Photo.  Usually people bring them and show us, but you don’t know what this is.  We found it.  So it’s of you.”

Alison said “I think (the photo) it was from 1995 from what I was told. They said they found it.  I haven’t seen it. So I so excited and horrified all at the same time.”

Ellen unveiled the photo and Alison laughed hysterically.  In the photo Alison’s hair was very long, very curly and had a huge mound of hair around the sides and along the top of her head from the hairline to the crown.  Alison exclaimed “oh my god!”

She told Ellen the photo was from “Soap Opera Digest.  The cover of Soap Opera Digest from about 1995-1996.  I was a bad girl (on the soap).”  Alison gestured to the tall hair and exclaimed at how tall the hair was.  She said “I think the hair is (so tall) it’s the same size as my (entire) face.”

It was quite a surprise and very funny to see how big Alison’s hair was during her bad girl days in the soap world.

Cobie Smulders born Jacoba Francisca Maria Smulders on born April 3, 1982 is a Canadian actress and former model.  She is best known for her current role as Robin Scherbatsky on the CBS hit television series “How I Met Your Mother”.  The former model recently looked stunning on the December 2010 cover of Maxim Magazine.

Cobie is also known for her long lush chocolate brunette tresses which has a natural wave.  Looking back at Cobie’s hair history during her time as Robin Scherbatsky her hair has been worn consistently shoulder length or longer.

(Image of Cobie Smulders at Elle Women in Television Event held at the Soho House in West Hollywood, California on January 27th, 2010)

On February 27th Cobie walked the Red Carpet at the 19th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party with her naturally wavy hair straightened into a sleek hairstyle which initially gave the appearance that her shoulder length tresses had been cut very short.

Upon further review it became obvious Cobie had a small ponytail extending from the back of the pinned up hairstyle.  In fact, if you didn’t look closely at Cobie’s hairstyle you might have missed the sleek little tail at the back.

Luckily Cobie posed from a variety of angles so that it was possible to see her hair from the front, the side and the back. (more…)

Actor Eric Stonestreet who plays the lovable Cameron on ABC’s Modern Family stopped by to see Ellen in Orlando at Universal Park.

Ellen likes to take her show on the road and being a huge roller coaster enthusiast, what better place to go than to Orlando where some of the best rides in the world exist?  This season is Ellen’s fifth year visiting Universal.

Eric arrived on Ellen’s big outdoor stage wearing shades to protect against the blistering Florida sunshine and a full tan suit complete with a striped long sleeve shirt.

He danced out onto the stage and waved at all the fans.  Ellen teased him about his long sleeve jacket and shirt by saving “I see you dressed for Florida weather.”  The actor agreed “yes, yes, yes, just shy of flannel.”

Ellen noted “you look really handsome but you have to be really hot.”  Eric “um, I’m sweltering underneath.”  Eric then shared about the rides he rode on and said “oh my gosh aren’t the rides here incredible?”

Ultimately it’s always best to position the base of your ponytail where it’s most comfortable for you.

There are many locations along the head where a ponytail base can be located.   No rule exists against wearing a ponytail right at the hairline.

In fact, Suzanne Somers used to wear her blonde ponytail from Three’s Company back from her hairline and to one side.

It became her trademark look even though it was due to her hair getting burned requiring her to wear her quirky pony.

Men often prefer to wear their ponytails low on the head near the nape of the neck. (more…)

Get Jane Lynch’s Perfect Shag\n

Actress Adrianne Palicki has been sighted in Los Angeles on Hollywood Boulevard filming the new “Wonder Woman” TV show (developed by David E. Kelly) she has picked to star in.  She was spotted in full Wonder Woman costume on the 29th and 30th of March.

As I previously blogged, Palicki is doing Wonder Woman as a brunette even though she previously was a fan favorite on “Friday Night Lights” as a platinum blonde.

Although “Friday Night Lights” has ceased production, the final season was exclusively shown on Direct TV.  The final season will be repeated on the regular network.

The character of Wonder Woman has been around since 1941 when the Amazonian character was introduced in a comic strip by William Mouten Marsten.

Already there has been some fan outcry about the new TV show.  When initial images of Palicki in the Wonder Woman costume was shown fans criticized the first costumer as being too cheesy.

They also said the boots and pants looked cheap and more like a Halloween costume than a major crime fighting woman.  Since that inital outcry Palicki’s costume has been changed to look more Amazonian.
