SJP Goes Retro; Lady Gaga’s Hairy Situation; And More…

Sarah Jessica Parker went big last night at the Robin Hood Foundation gala in New York with an extra-voluminous bouffant—a further testament that the sixties are indeed huge for fall. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. [E!]

Hot on the heels of “Judas,” Lady Gaga is set to drop yet another track off of the much-anticipated Born This Way album. This one is called “Hair,” and needless to say, we can’t wait to see what kind of weaves, wigs, and extensions make it into the video. [MTV]

According to a new survey, tanning salons in the U.S. aren’t doing nearly enough to warn teenagers about the risks associated with tanning beds. What part about UV light beds being as cancer-causing as arsenic, asbestos, and mustard gas don’t these people understand?! [U.S. News & World Report]

Julia Robert’s Mane Man, Now Making House Calls


When you see a famous person on a magazine cover or the red carpet with cascading waves of airy hair, chances are Serge Normant has run his fingers through it. The beloved French stylist has tended to the tresses of America’s sweethearts (Julia Roberts, Sarah Jessica Parker, Reese Witherspoon) and all the major supers (Linda, Christy, Cindy). After a successful, long-running relationship with John Frieda, where he served as a creative director, Normant recently parted ways to develop his own line of eponymous haircare, which we’ve been eagerly waiting to try out. The eight-piece collection is formulated with Keravis, a vegetable-derived strengthening complex, along with natural ingredients and high-tech compounds that work like skincare creams to repair the hair cuticle while also imparting that enviable shine and free-flowing movement that Normant is famous for. When asked to pick out his favorites, Normant points to the Meta Sheer Dry Oil Finishing Spray, a weightless frizz-tamer made with camellia and olive fruit oil that can be applied wet or dry; and the Meta Revive Dry Shampoo with Cedar Bark, which adds wind-blown texture but doesn’t leave strands stiff and dull—or powdery white (it’s a transparent mist). We recently saw the Meta Lush Volumizer in action on a photo shoot and were impressed with how it doubled the thickness of every model’s hair and made it glisten, and then glisten some more. Normant has hinted that there are more products in the works, the first being a set of dry shampoos to match different hair colors. The core collection just launched on the stylist’s Web site; let the virtual pillaging begin.

Christie Brinkley Gets Physical; Kim Kardashian, Behind The Makeup; And More


If you’ve ever wondered how supermodel Christie Brinkley looks almost as good today at 58 as she did in 1983′s Vacation, the answer is simple: She works out all the time. Squats while blow-drying her hair, leg lifts while slicing vegetables. Name the strengthening exercise and Brinkley can multitask it. [NYDN]

In a riveting new interview with the Beckhams, we learn that David and Victoria have separate bathrooms in which his products are hidden and hers are “quite on show”; that she runs four or five miles every day on the treadmill while he prefers exercising outdoors; and that the couple have collectively discovered the “hippie powers of crystals.” Cosmic. [Daily Mail]

Speaking of riveting interviews, Sarah Jessica Parker reveals that she’s nervous about aging in the new issue of Elle. “It’s like those flowers that wilt in front of you in time-lapse films. But what can I possibly do? Look like a lunatic?” Well, yes, actually, if the trend among many of her Hollywood cohorts is any indication. [Huff Po]

Stop the presses: Kim Kardashian ventured out in L.A. yesterday to get a manicure without makeup on. No fake lashes either, it appears. A headline maker, indeed! [Us Weekly]

“I wear perfume every day. I always have done—I would never go out without wearing it,” says Kate Moss. That’s how you sell celebrity fragrances. Mariah Carey, take note. [Female First]

Marilyn, The Mane Event; Fergie’s The New Paula; and More…


As if there were any question, Marilyn Monroe has been named the greatest blonde of all time in a new poll from Clairol Nice ‘N Easy. Grace Kelly, Brigitte Bardot, and Cameron Diaz also made the cut, although seeing as how Marilyn was really a brunette, we’d feel cheated if we were Cam. [Stylist]

We called it earlier this summer; two-toned hair is officially a trend. It’s season-specific, though, so Drew Barrymore, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Rachel Bilson may want to make appointments with their colorists ASAP. [WWD]

And now back to Marilyn. It wasn’t just the screen star’s golden locks that made her a fan favorite. And allegedly, it wasn’t her décolletage either. According to a New Zealand anthropologist, her attractiveness—and female attractiveness in general—is based on a simple hip-to-waist measurement, that being 0.7. A waist measurement that is exactly 70 percent of the hip circumference also happens to define modern-day beauties like Kate Moss, Jessica Alba, and supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio. [Daily Mail]

Luckily, Avon is here for those of us with ratios that aren’t quite up to par. To celebrate its 125th anniversary, the beauty giant is launching Avon Voices, a global online talent search for a female singer with a songwriting competition component that incorporates the theme of empowerment. Fergie—whose Outspoken fragrance just launched under the brand’s guidance—will play judge. Look out, American Idol. [WWD]
