VOTE: Would You Wear Fergie’s “Hammer” Pants?

Beretta/Sims/Rex USA

Fergie has never been one to shy away from a fashion risk. So when we spotted her rocking a pair of drop-crotch pants, which have been showing up all over the runways, we weren’t exactly surprised. We know that the ’80s are back in a big way, but we’re not sure if taking fashion cues from MC Hammer is a step we’re willing to take in the name of fashion. When it comes to trouser trends, are you ready for “Hammer Time” again? Or do you wish that this look would have just stayed in the ’80s? Vote in our poll below!

Fame

The best way to beat the summer heat? Take a cue from Halle Berry and chop off your hair!

Cassie’s Shaved Head Maintenance: Touch-Ups Every 3 Days!

Splash News Online

Britney Spears might be the most memorable celeb to have shaved her head in recent history — but she’s not the only star taking the “hair” out of hairstyle. Last month, fellow singer Cassie shocked fans by shaving off one side of her tresses and tweeting that the look was “Something that will shock your mother, but make her call you a ROCK STAR.” Many fans expected the singer’s hairstyle to go away as quickly as it could grow back, but the half-bald look proved its staying power. Cassie is now revealing that her hair-free look isn’t exactly carefree. “I get it touched up by a barber every three days,” she tells WWD.com. When it comes to shaving, we have enough trouble just keeping our legs under control and don’t know if we could handle having to worry about to our scalps, too. Tell us: Have you ever shaved your hair? Would you try out a style like Cassie’s?

Kate Hudson Goes Brunette: Love It or Hate It?

Splash News Online/span>

Hollywood’s top golden girl Kate Hudson is as known as much for her perfectly tousled blonde hair as her dazzling smile — which is precisely why we were so shocked to see her step out yesterday with newly dark brown hair that’s a huge departure from her signature look! And while we think that Kate’s new look is probably for a role, we always love to see stars change-up their look, whatever the reason. Tell us: Would you like to see Kate keep her brown hair for a while, or should she go black to blonde?

Alyssa Milano Goes to Bat for her Clothing Line

Kyle Christy

PEOPLE caught up with Alyssa Milano, whose new ABC pilot Romantically Challenged is generating serious buzz, to talk about her other passions besides TV: baseball and fashion — or to be more precise, baseball fashion. Her very own clothing line, Touch, was inspired by a frustrating visit to the ballpark. “Everyone who goes to as many games as I do gets this weird addiction where you go, ‘God, I wonder if there are any new baseball caps or jackets I can buy,’” says Milano. “I would go into the stadium shops and could never find anything cute that fit my body or that wasn’t pink.” This season’s highlight? A reversible satin jacket adorned with team logos. “It’s my take on a throwback,” says Milano. Speaking of throwbacks, the vegetarian actress does not subscribe to any Hollywood fad diets — at least not at the ballpark. “Part of the fun of a baseball game is actually pigging out on the concessionary food and throwing peanut shells on the floor,” she says. “I have four seats at Dodger stadium and after a game it looks like a tornado came through.” Check out the spring Touch collection at fandalia.com. –Suzanne Zuckerman
