Bad Hair Day

Fergie Fuzz

In my quest to document bad celebrity hair, I realize focusing on pop pan flashes like Fergie won't result in the most timeless of posts. Because really, will we even know or care who she is in 18 months?  I hope not.  But in 18 months she will still be hopeless when it comes to her hair.  Poorly groomed, hideously highlighted - I half expected to see some bad chunky blonde pieces in her armpit hair.  But her armpit hair isn't that bad and armpit fuzz isn't her greatest follicle faux pais (see here.) If Bad Hair karma ever forced me to choose between having Fergie's head hair or having Fergie's armpit hair - I'd choose the latter.  Wouldn't you?

Cameron Diaz: A Change Will Do You Good

Cameron Diaz had definitely changed her look for the better.  Years of pimple popping caught up to her and made her skin look like the surface of the moon (don't believe me, watch In Her Shoes in hi-definition.)  But the new dark long haircut makes her skin look radiant.

Sure the hairline in front looks like she got into a catfight with yet another paparazzi, but overall I have to hand it to her for not being afraid to go darker.  So many blonde actresses refuse to go dark for fear that it will make them look older - when really, wearing the exact same haircolor for years just makes you look like you're pathetically clinging to your former glory (I'm calling you out and your failed album out, Jessica Simpson).

Keep it up Cameron, you just might get Justin to marry you yet.  Or at the very least, you'll get a Proactiv commercial.

Madonna's New Wig: You Tell Me

What do you think of Madonna's new wig?  It's a bit Kelly Osbourne for my taste ... but you tell me.

Best comments go to:

Maggie: " It totally washed her out. And that cut just emphasizes how square and butched-out her face has gotten as of late."

Amanda: "The thing that irks me about her though is that she's trying to look like she's 21....and lets face it....she's anything but 21. The wig sucks...be happy with the hair that you were blessed with...And embrace your age."

I love my blog readers, I really couldn't have said better myself.  I'll be making "You Tell Me" a regular feature - so please keep sharing your fantastic insights!

Emmy Rossum: More Death of the Headband.

OMG, am I still wearing this stupid headband?

Josh Hartnett: Bad Hairy Gentleman.

I always thought GQ stood for Gentleman's Quarterly - not Guys who can't take care of their peach fuzz moustaches and fuzzy caterpillar eyebrows Quartertly.  Josh reminds me of all the clueless boys in high school who just couldn't figure out grooming - all he needs is some picked at pimple scabs to complete the look.

Fergie: Bad Hair Before and After

I know a lot of blogs have picked up this picture of Fergie's Curler Mohawk from TMZ.com.  Of course, being a Bad Hair fanatic, I had to find the end result of this set.  And to be honest (because when am I not?), she looks better in the curlers.  At least with the curlers in you can't see how weighed down with product and poorly textured her hair is. I will throw this dog a bone, though, and say that her highlights are a significant improvement over her former stripes.  Now, if only this dog was housebroken.

Nicolas Cage: Learn from Tom Hank's mistakes

Apparently, Nic Cage disagrees with the internet consensus that Tom Hank's Da Vinci Code hair was hideous.  The receding hairline-hairplug-mullet cannot be pulled off by anyone, especially when you got some jowl action going on.  But since Cage spent good money on that dog hair, I doubt he'll be cutting it soon.  Is it for a role in yet another dark-themed flop?  Probably, but I wouldn't know since no one pays attention to Nicolas Cage movies anymore.

Jennifer Lopez: Eh.

Jennifer Lopez has only been featured once on BHD (for a bad up-do at the Oscars), because I really did like her hair.  The golden highlights were always artfully done and they were flattering for her skintone.

Now it seems Jennifer Lopez's golden era is over - as she has switched to a much darker look.  Sure her hair still looks great - but to me, it looks matronly.  It's not the hair of a diva.  She looks like J. Lo's older sister who occassionally gets invited to a West Coast premeire or bad VH1 award shows.

It's probably very temporary - but then again, that's what I wanted to believe about her Skeletor freakshow husband.

Whitney Houston: Where do broken wigs go?

Well, Whitney - while I am happy that you have ditched your cheating drugged out husband, at the same time I am sad that you haven't ditched your wig collection from the 90s.  This poor relic has been sitting crushed, frazzled, frizzled, and fugly in a box in the back of your crackden closet.  And girl, it should have stayed there.

While it just isn't good legal advice to buy expensive items in the middle of a divorce - do it anyway, and buy some good wigs.  You could even make some money on the deal and put out your own wig line - all washed up divas do that these days.
