Sanjaya Malakar’s hair is getting as much — if not more — attention as his singing. In just a few weeks on the show, the adventurous 17-year-old has undergone several tress-formations, morphing from shaggy to super-straight to ultra curly and his most recent concoction — seven teased ponytails in the shape of a faux-hawk (Wonder what Mr. T would think about that one?). What look do you think best suits the soft-spoken singer?

Which of Sanjaya’s hairstyles do you like best (clockwise from left)?

Is this a whole new Mary-Kate Olsen we’re seeing? Where are the clunky shoes, the over-sized cardigans, the absence of pants? We can barely recognize the petite star in her trendy wide-leg pants, pale pink button-down shirt and darker golden-blonde locks. As she leaves an office building in L.A., she almost looks — dare we say it? — professional and conservative in her new ensemble. But don’t worry, the white sunglasses and chunky cocktail rings still give the outfit the signature Mary-Kate spin. Tell us: What do you think of Mary-Kate’s new look? Do you love it or miss the old funkier style?

In light of Cameron Diaz’s recent support of Al Gore’s environmental efforts, our curiosity was piqued by her new favorite necklace — a gold pendant of the Earth. We thought that the necklace might be for one of her favorite charities, and we were right! Cameron’s global pendant is made by jeweler Lena Wald, with 20% of the proceeds benefiting the NRDC, or Natural Resources Defense Council. Even better, the necklace (which is is $395 for sterling or $590 for gold like Cameron’s) is super stylish and looks great layered with other chains. Get your own at jenniferkaufman.com.

With each passing day, Jennifer Lopez is confusing us more and more. Gone is the consistent sexy glamour that we usually associate with her — instead, every day she seems to be embracing a whole new look! Last Friday in Paris, where she was promoting her new album Como Ama Una Mujer, the star went ’60s demure in a full-skirted Zac Posen frock and a tight topknot. But for Sunday’s Echo Awards in Berlin, she went glamazon in an avant garde one-armed Lanvin dress and strappy stiletto heels. And then yesterday afternoon, she switched it all up — arriving at TRL in N.Y.C. looking like a downtown hipster in high-waisted skinny jeans, an ’80s style vest and her trusty YSL platforms. We are getting whiplash just trying to keep up! Tell us: Do you think that J. Lo is having a style identity crisis? Or is the change doing her good?

When the news hit that Mary Weiland, wife of Velvet Revolver’s front man Scott Weiland, was arrested for burning $10,000 worth of the singer’s wardrobe outside of their San Fernando Valley home, reaction ranged from sadness (the Weiland’s two young children are now in the custody of family friends) to puzzlement: how could Scott Weiland possibly have that much invested in his couture? Style watchers aren’t surprised — Weiland is a fashion week regular, the current face of designer John Varvatos and has long considered himself a clothes horse since he abandoned the grunge look of his original band, Stone Temple Pilots. He may go shirtless on stage, but on the red carpet he is known for his impeccably tailored British suits from Ozwald Boateng or Paul Smith and artfully combining jeans with a tuxedo jacket or artfully undone tie. For those who dare say that his wife might have done him a favor, we remind you that Weiland brought the vested suit in to the rock arena long before Justin Timberlake made them ubiquitous.

I just saw a picture of Jennifer Aniston (with bottle of water- called “Brand Loyalty“) published on Tuesday, March 20. She is wearing a great looking pair of jeans. Can you please find out what brand they are and where to get them? Thank you, -Megg

Noted for her all-American style, the star ran errands in her Generra stretch boot cut jeans in the dark wash. You might have also seen Jennifer wear Generra jeans in The Break-Up — she wore them throughout the movie. Unfortunately, Generra has stopped manufacturing this particular style of jeans. You can a find a few pairs on ebay.com. For a similar look, try these Seven for all Mankind, another A-list favorite, stretch flare in Medium New York, $149, available at 7forallmankind.com or the Angel boot fit in Magnesium by AG Jeans, $167 at revolveclothing.com. To get the designer look for less, go with a pair of Gap bootcut jeans in light wash, $50, gap.com.
