Robert Pattinson Cuts His Hair: Love It or Hate It?

Say good-bye to Robert Pattinson‘s sexy tousled locks. The Twilight star caused a major frenzy when he stepped out this weekend with a new crew cut. Though he may not have the long messy ‘do that won us over, we think he looks just as hot with the shorter ‘do. The second installment of Twilight doesn’t begin filming for awhile, so hopefully the longer locks will be back when Edward returns to the screen. We want to know what you think, is Robert just as sexy with his new crew cut?

Kanye West: “I’m Not Breaking With Music” for Fashion

Andy Fossum/Startraks

We’ve been hearing about Kanye West‘s potential fashion internship plans from everyone but the hip-hop star, and last night, West spoke to PEOPLE at the Flaunt 10th Anniversary party about his plans to balance music and fashion. First and foremost, he says “I’m not breaking with music. I’m just going to do it on weekends. Just learning, learning as much as I can about fashion.” Turns out that this is hardly a new passion, “I was drawing and designing stuff for the longest [time]. I actually went to art school and dropped out to do music. It’s the real thing for me. It’s not a thing that I just put my name on something.” Speaking of fashion with his name on it, Kanye tells PEOPLE that he’s “going to Paris this Saturday to finish my shoes up that I’m doing with Louis Vuitton.” The timing of the internship is still up in the air at this point, but he’s already had several invitations from fashion world pals. As for his own fashion idols, he says he admires, “Stefano Pilati, Raf Simmons, Kim Jones.” If his timetable isn’t concrete, his long-term goals are. “Just trying to get to the point where I’m good enough to make clothes to put my name on it…it’s my love. It’s something I want to do for the rest of my life.”

Rumor Patrol: No Cheaper Line in the Works for Betsey Johnson

She may not be showing at the tents this fashion week, but the dress designer is not hitting main street yet. Despite internet reports that Betsey Johnson is the next designer in line to create a lower-priced line for Target or H&M, a rep for Betsey Johnson tells PEOPLE, “the rumors are false.” We would have loved to see Betsey’s wacky party dresses for the masses, but now we will just have to shop them on sale to fit in our budget.

Should Brody Jenner Grow His Hair for Charity?

Could Bromance star Brody Jenner be sporting a longer ‘do in the New Year? He will if his girlfriend, Playboy‘s 2008 Playmate of the Year, Jayde Nicole, gets her way. The model is on a mission to convince her fellow Playmates to cut their hair for Locks of Love — which takes donated hair (a minimum of ten inches) and creates wigs for cancer patients and children with Alopecia. “I want to [grow my hair out],” Jenner told DoSomething.org at the H&M Artist Gift Lounge backstage at z100′s Jingle Ball concert, but “everybody’s been telling me, ‘No, Brody, no!” We think he could rock it. Tell us: Should Brody Jenner grow his hair out — for charity? — Cara Shultz
