Jennifer Aniston’s hair stylist talks about the Julie Christie-inspired cut

wenn5613016 

Jennifer Aniston’s haircut is one of the biggest stories of the week. And I’m fine with that. I’d rather be talking about her hair than her friendship with Chelsea Handler, you know? Anyway, Aniston’s famous, long-time hair dresser Chris McMillan gave an exclusive interview to Allure about Aniston’s new hair. It’s a funny thing to think about - Chris is so much more than Aniston’s hair stylist. He’s so much more than her friend too - he’s part of her entourage, and he gets paid to travel with her internationally and do her hair.

Think about this - Aniston didn’t cut her hair before the American premiere of Just Go With It. She didn’t cut her hair before the European promotion started. She cut her hair mid-way through promotion - in between Germany and Spain. Was it planned? Did she want it to be the story of the week? Was she drunk? Chris tells all!
Allure: Tell me about the cut. What inspired it?
McMillan: “I call it a hairline bob that follows the jawline down. It’s shortened in back and longer in front. It’s angled and inspired by Vidal Sassoon haircuts and Julie Christie from Shampoo.”
Why now?
McMillan: “It was just time for a change. We had a blast doing it. And we’ve always liked this haircut. It’s about keeping things simple. The way Celine and Calvin Klein and Jil Sander and all these clothing lines are keeping it really simple and chic. I really feel that fashion right now. All the styles are back to when I first started doing hair. And I love it.”
If you want the cut, what should you ask for at the salon?
McMillan: “In the back it angles up—it was cut at the nape. I love it when it’s slightly angled. The angle adds a modern edge to it. To keep it modern, it’s not too blunt but also not too layered. It kind of has a choppier edge. The ends are cut into, but mainly they’re all one length.”
Does Jennifer have naturally wavy hair? Do you have to blow out the hair with this cut?
McMillan: “We did blow it out for press, but we’re excited to go kind of natural, like Kim Basinger in 9 1/2 Weeks.”
Once you cut her hair, did you need to change the color?
McMillan: “It’s so funny. This is something that happens all the time: Whenever I cut someone’s hair, they say, ‘My color looks so much better.’ The color kind of freshens up when you get a drastic haircut.”
Looks like Jennifer’s got volume at the roots. How do you get that?
McMillan: “A haircut at this length can tend to be a little round. You want to keep it a little more square. So I took the flatiron to straighten out the underneath pieces to take some of the roundness out, and I left the top fluffy and full. I used a bit of mousse at the roots to give it height at the crown.”
So it’s all about the bob again, huh?
McMillan: “I’m loving bobs again. I love the girl in the YSL ads. It’s a sexy look. The reason that I’m loving a bob at the moment… There are so many long, layered hairstyles and—don’t get me wrong, I love that. But The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills all have that. You know what I mean? And what’s the opposite direction you can go in?”
Can I write that, what you said about the Real Housewives?
McMillan: “[Laughs] Yes. They all have that natural, piecey hair. It’s nice to take the extensions out of the hair and do something more natural. It’s gotten out of hand. But I can’t stop watching it.”
[From Allure]
So, Aniston is aiming for Julie Christie-Kim Basinger angular-yet-loose, sexy, not piece-y or “Real Housewife”. Did she succeed? Eh. I get the Julie Christie reference, much as it pains me to compare Aniston to Christie. Aniston’s new hair is very, very similar to a style Julie wore for several years. But I don’t get the Kim Basinger reference at all. And Aniston does sometimes give off a Real Housewives vibe, you know? Sometimes she does that unbrushed, hair-in-the-face, big-blowout look that is very, very popular with the Real Housewives.

Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris plan ‘intimate’ wedding w/ 300 guests June 18

hefnerharris1

America’s favorite Octogenarian titty mogul and his 60 years younger fiance have set a date for their upcoming wedding. Hugh Hefner’s rep tells US Weekly that it will be an “intimate” affair attended by less than 300 guests and will take place at the Playboy mansion on June 18. That will hopefully be enough time to de-louse the mansion after that big Legionnaire’s outbreak earlier this month.

US also reports that Hef’s bride, Crystal Harris, will wear a dress by designer Romona Keveza. I’m not familiar with that designer, so I googled the dresses and they’re very traditional, classic and romantic. For all you can say about Harris, she will probably look gorgeous on her wedding day to a guy old enough to be her great grandfather.

Harris was recently profiled in a piece in The New Yorker about her upcoming wedding. She revealed that she’s going for a “romantic” theme, with a color palette at the reception that her wedding planner describes as “silver and white, and maybe a blush underlay.”

As for what attracts him to Crystal Harris and other very young women, Hef recently said that “you do give up something in the process,” but “There is something wonderful in the student-teacher relationship — the rediscovery, the chance to have a relationship with a younger woman. It permits you to see the things you love with a fresh eye, makes them exciting again.” I think we know Crystal’s motivation. She’ll put in about 10-15 years tops and then she’ll become a wealthy woman before she’s 40. Hef surely has a prenup but he’ll provide well for her. Ms. Harris has her career and life plan all mapped out for her, she just has to keep being a pleasant and willing companion.



After I wrote all that I found this video (below and here) of Crystal and Hef on Piers Morgan discussing their wedding plans. She seems really stoked about it. Hugh said his best man will be his brother and that his two youngest sons will serve as groomsmen. (His sons Marston, 20, and Cooper, 19, are much closer in age to Crystal of course.) Crystal joked that Hugh got married in the front yard already so she asked “if we could do it in the back yard.” They’re going to have the ceremony “in front of the waterfall, very romantic” according to Hef.

When asked what she sees in Hef, Crystal Harris said “I love Hef, we have so much fun together. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in my whole life.” Probably the most generous too.

Is Brad Pitt moving his family to Manhattan?

fp_6839074_pittbrad_lax_rev_05_08

These are new photos of Brad Pitt at LAX yesterday. Still wearing a hat, which seems to be hiding his longer hair. Is Brad growing his hair out? Unknown. Anyway, Fame Pictures is trying to make a big thing about how Brad is probably flying to France to oversee even more renovations to the chateau. I don’t know if that’s really where he’s headed, though.

Meanwhile, OK! Magazine claims that Brad and Angelina are planning a move to New York, just in time for Jennifer Aniston’s move to New York. OK! is creating controversy because they think Brangelina will move uptown, while Aniston will move downtown, and “the city isn’t big enough for all of them.” It’s not all Bermuda Triangle stuff though - apparently, Brad and Angelina have finally decided to get married. Yeah, yawn:
It looks like Brad Pitt and Angelina may finally have wedding bells ringing in the near future - along with a new house in Manhattan to call their own!
A friend of the couple tells OK!: “Angelina has always love city living, and Brad wants to make her happy. So they looking to purchase a townhouse instead of an apartment. Right now, they want something with about 10 bedrooms. That’s two extra bedrooms compared to their last NYC apartment. They’re trying to find something that can accommodate everyone and toying with the idea of buying two townhouses and turning them into one big house - that way, they have more than enough room to extend their family.” Which, according to sources, is something they will do when they finally get married.
The friend also says: “New York is filled with good memories for them, really romantic ones. They loved their times at the Waldorf, and Angelina loves the antique shops and bookstores. They also love taking the kids to museums and Central Park.”
[From OK! Magazine, print edition]
Yeah, it’s crap. But if it’s true, then good for them, I guess. Good luck trying to wrangle six kids in the city.
One last thing - OK! Magazine has a side story that I find much more interesting. It’s all about how Brad is getting back into shape after developing something of a gut last year. According to sources, while Angelina was directing in Budapest, Brad was working out like crazy at a private gym. Lots of running and weight machines, etc. He has been looking thinner lately.

Alyssa Milano shows off her baby bump at the ‘Hall Pass’ premiere

hall_pass_premiere_06_wenn3223036

Alyssa Milano announced her pregnancy earlier this week. CB and I had an extended conversation about it, oddly enough. We debated whether or not people cared - it’s not like people wish Alyssa Milano harm or anything, but we also wondered if she still really had anything by way of a fan base. Anyway, we ended up not writing about it until now. Alyssa Milano showed off her bump last night at the premiere of Hall Pass, that stupid-and-offensive-looking movie starring Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis, amongst others. I think Alyssa Milano is in it too. In any case, Alyssa Milano wore this jacked up grey skirt that might have been cute if wasn’t fitted to go right under her boobs. It’s just… unflattering. I know maternity styles are different, but Alyssa Milano seems like she’s into her second trimester by now, and there’s no reason to look like she just got an oversized skirt from Target and hiked that junk up. That being said, her hair and makeup look good. She’s a very pretty woman.

The award for most unattractive outfit goes to Christina Applegate. Once again, I know that her style choices are limited, considering she just had a baby. But could she have found a more flattering muumuu?

Here’s Jason Sudeikis, trying to be the cool guy.

Owen Wilson, who is actually The Cool Guy.

 And lastly, Jenna Fisher. Sigh… Jenna. Girl. Hire somebody to dress you. This is one of the most flattering things I’ve ever seen her in, but the bar has been set really, really low. It looks like she’s dressed up to go to a high school dance. Some women just do that clothes - this dress could be a solid look on another woman, but on Jenna, it just looks so dated and cheap.

Susan Sarandon wears a gold bracelet crafted from her children’s teeth

sag arrivals 13 310111

This is a bizarre story that I just couldn’t resist covering. The lovely Susan Sarandon, 64, had an elegant bracelet custom made for her - out of her children’s baby teeth. She told Popeater that the bracelet was made from her three children’s teeth: Eva Amurri, 25, Jack, 21, and Miles, 18.
Apparently, the tooth fairy doesn’t visit Susan Sarandon’s house. ‘The Lovely Bones’ actress has been stepping out at events wearing a rather unusual bracelet crafted from opals, rubies, gold and — her children’s teeth! Yes, you read that right.
She crafted the personalized bracelet from the pearly whites of daughter Eva Amurri and sons Jack Robbins and Miles Robbins. “A friend of mine designed it,” she told PopEater as she twirled the bracelet around her wrist.
[From Popeater]

Hollybaby reported on this same bracelet last month and claimed that it was made with Eva’s wisdom teeth, but either way teeth are involved and they’re her childrens.

My son recently lost his first two baby teeth, which he was adorably proud of. It was a big moment in our house and he made us promise that the tooth fairy wouldn’t take his teeth. We said we’d work something out with her so he would still get paid but could keep his teeth. I have no idea what I’ll do with those teeth, but we’re keeping them for now. Around that time I was kind of skeeved out to learn that my mother-in-law had saved every one of my husband’s baby teeth. She had a little sack filled with them and it wasn’t pleasant to see them all laid out on the table.

Sarandon’s bracelet is so pretty and you can’t even see that there are teeth in it. Us moms can be a little weird about saving things from our children, and I guess teeth are relatively harmless when compared to the other things kids shed that we could possibly save. I’m thinking fingernails, placenta, boy parts that are sometimes removed at birth. Umbilical cords make sense to me, although I have no idea where my kid’s is. Teeth are just little bones and kids shed them like so many other things from childhood. We just want to hold on to that time somehow, even as our kids give us new things to be so proud and thankful for every day.

Christina Aguilera is a Boozehound Monster

wenn5584837

This Us Weekly story should only surprise Christina Aguilera’s hardcore defenders, of which there are many, as I recently found out. I assumed that Christina’s drunken shenanigans were pretty obvious to everyone, what with her flubbing the National Anthem, drunkenly falling on stage at the Grammys, bitch-fighting with Julianna Hough at the Globes, and passing out in Jeremy Renner’s bed during an industry party. Not to mention her weight gain, much of it looking like booze weight, and her general state of disarray which I tend to attribute to her always being three sheets to the wind. Plus, you know, there are multiple reports of her being a boozehound diva who threatens to fire anyone who suggests that her drunk ass might want to sober up. Still, defend away. Us Weekly has a new story about Christina’s behind-the-scenes boozing and diva shenanigans. It’s a really long story! LMAO. Here are the highlights, all from Us Weekly’s print edition:

*Christina spends most of her time “boozing it up with new boyfriend Matthew Rutler.” A friend of Christina’s says: “Her drinking is out of control” and that Christina has become “less attentive” to her son Max. Oh, and Christina is “alienating most of her friends and leaving the rest of them worried… She’s a total mess.”

*Us Weekly has extensive details about all of Christina’s public boozing post-split from Jordan Bratman, including the beginning of her courtship with Rutler, which seemed to only take place in bars.

*The full-blown boozing started during the Burlesque international tour. A source close to Rutler says: “Every city they went to - London, Tokyo - Christina was pretty drunk, and Matt had to carry her home.”

*On New Year’s Eve, “Christina was so wasted before her guests arrived [for a party] that her mother told her to lie down and sober up,” says a source. “Christina yelled, ‘Who do you think you are?’ Then she called her brother’s girlfriend a whore. It was crazy!” LMAO. Christina is so much fun, for real.

*Re: The Renner-bed incident. Us Weekly reiterates that it actually did happen - Christina showed up to Jeremy Renner’s birthday party (“uninvited”) and got so trashed she climbed into his bed. Renner was overheard telling people the story, and he’s quoted as saying “Who comes to someone’s birthday party that they don’t know and gets in their f–cking bed?” A source says: “Christina was a disaster and acting like a total fool.”

*Another day - January 25, Christina is “knocking back vodka sodas” at The Dime. She’s “crying uncontrollably” and complaining to her bodyguard that Bratman refuses to leave their home. “She was hysterical.”

*When her team tried to stage an intervention, “Christina found out and threatened to fire everyone.”

*After the SuperBowl, Christina stayed in Dallas for two days. “She drank and was devastated by her humiliating performance.”

*Three-year-old Max spends a lot of time with his dad and with the nanny. Christina is “a loving and devoted mom… but she doesn’t spend a ton of time with him. If she knows she is leaving town, she will take him on some big outing, like Disneyland, because she feels guilty. Jordan is much more stable.”

*Sources credit Jordan Bratman for keeping Christina under control for so long. A source says, “She was still a huge drinker, but he kept her under control so people didn’t know how bad it was.”

*An insider says Christina and Rutler had sex ina bathroom at a recent family gathering: “Her friends are fed up. Nobody can get through to her. They think she’s trashy. And her ego is out of control.”

*Christina’s main source of income: her perfume lines. Not her albums, not her tours, not her acting.

*Differing views about what’s next for Christina. A Rutler source says “I think she’s just going through a phase, we’ve all been through a breakup where we went crazy.” A source close to Christina says: “She’s really spiraling. I would be shocked if she’s not in rehab in the next month or so.”

So… yeah. Christina is a mess. I’ve felt that way for a while. But if there are Christina Defenders out there, I’ll listen. Explain all of this to me. Explain to me how she’s not a complete disaster who seriously needs help.

I will give Christina a little bit of credit though - that one story about calling her brother’s girlfriend a whore is hysterical. The Renner story is funny too, or it would be if Christina was younger. At her age, she really should be able to hold her liquor.
