Jennifer Aniston Was Bored of Her Hair

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Hairstyles,

Jennifer Aniston chopped off her long locks because she was "bored."

The We're the Millers actress debuted a chic blonde bob on Monday while running errands in Los Angeles, which came as a surprise after years of wearing her trademark honey-colored hair down past her shoulders.

She told Vogue magazine the radical change was a spur-of-the-moment decision, saying, "I'm always one of those girls who does a big old chop just to get it really healthy, to repair all the [damage from] hair coloring and stuff like that. And I just got bored, honestly. It's fun to change it up once in awhile."

The We're The Millers actress also revealed her transformation was the result of her addiction to Brazilian blow dries, which use a combination of formaldehyde and keratin to keep locks straight for up to three months. Before stepping out in public with her shorter cut, Jennifer explained to Elle magazine, "It wasn't for a role. My hair went through a phase - this thing called a Brazilian and my hair did not react really well to it."

Victoria Beckham is a Redhead for Harper’s Bazaar

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers,

Fashion designer and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham takes a break from behind the scenes and gets in front of the camera for Harper's Bazaar China -- as a redhead!

Mrs. David Beckham dons some dragon-inspired head pieces and a corset (photo after the jump) in the fashion magazine, looking like a far cry from your typical mother of four. While she undoubtedly looks to be in fantastic shape, I'm not sure I can agree with her when she looks like that and says that she represents the general public...

Salma Hayek Dresses for Husband

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,

Salma Hayek likes to dress up for her husband. The Grown Ups star - who married French billionaire François-Henri Pinault in 2009 - enjoys trying out new looks in a bid to catch her other half's eye.

"If you're in love with someone, you always want to conquer them anew. Even if we don't go out, I like to look nice for him. He inspires me. There are men who don't notice what you're wearing, and that's cool. But when you make an effort, François appreciates it so much," she said.

The couple now live in Paris with their four-year-old daughter Valentina, although Salma admits she is regularly blown away by the standards of style on the French capital.

"It's nuts, how good the people look. Nobody's overweight, everybody's well dressed, no tennis shoes - somehow, even though they walk all over the place, everyone manages to wear real shoes, nice shoes," she told Lucky magazine.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Hairstyles, News,

To color-coordinate with one's hair... or not to color-coordinate with one's hair -- that is the question!

Zooey Deschanel Relies on Bangs For Style

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Hairstyles,

Zooey Deschanel's style is due to her bangs and eyes. The actress - who is the face of beauty company Rimmel - uses Orible shampoo, conditioner and hairspray to keep her hair looking good, but she struggles to understand why she ever attempts to change her style because always reverts to the same look.

"I'm all bangs and eyes. There have been periods when I've grown my bangs out, but I always cut them back, so it's like, why go through the trouble?!"

The New Girl actress also believes women should be allowed to "express who they are" without thinking about what they wear, so she doesn't see a problem with females dressing in a girly fashion if that's how they want to look. "If you feel like dressing like a girl, there's nothing wrong with that. I don't know why femininity should be associated with weakness. Women should be free to express who they are without thinking, I need to act like a man, or I need to tone it down to be successful. That's a very good way to keep women down."
