Bye-Bye Blonde! Kellie Pickler Goes Redhead: Love It or Hate It?

Kellie Pickler may be one of country’s most iconic blondes — she’s even impersonated Dolly Parton — but for now, she’s joining a less represented segment of the music community: redheads! The bombshell debuted her newly auburn locks on the red carpet of the CMA Awards tonight, having carefully tucked them under a hat for Parton’s Live from London DVD premiere party on Tuesday night. Pickler joked of the attention her new do is getting on the red carpet, saying, “It seems to be the thing to talk about.” She also gave a shout-out to legendary country redhead Reba McEntire, suggesting that she was joining her ranks since “we’ve got enough blondes in country.” But, she did admit to PEOPLE that she is still adjusting to her new do. “The hair doesn’t make the person, but it has been a shocker. I wake up in the morning and walk by the mirror and I’m like, ‘Who’s that!’ I thought someone broke into my house!” Pickler did manage to find the upside, explaining that, “It’s been interesting with red hair cause you can’t wear the same things. It’s an excuse to go shopping.” What do you think of Kellie’s new hair color? Vote in our poll below, and see all news, photos and more from the CMAs!

Emanuel Ungaro Bashes Lindsay Lohan’s Collection as a “Disaster”

Guibbaud Christophe/Abaca

Emanuel Ungaro, founder of the fashion house which still bears his name, has publicly criticized Lindsay Lohan‘s recent collection, European newspapers report. On Monday evening, according to the Agence French Presse, the 76-year old Ungaro told an audience at the Estoril film festival in Lisbon, Portugal on Monday, that the collection on which Lohan served as fashion consultant “was a disaster.” The venerable designer continued, “I’m furious but there isn’t a thing I can do. I have absolutely no link with that house,” added Ungaro who sold his house to an investment fund in 2005. Lohan, 23, was announced as Artistic Advisor to the house in September and, less than a month later, presented her first collection designed in collaboration with Estrella Archs, who herself had only been named as the house’s designer at the end of July. At its showing in October, the Lohan/Archs collaboration was trashed by many critics, while the company itself supported their work, telling PEOPLE at the time of the designing duo, “This is a fashion couple.” According to reports, Ungaro told his audience that the house which bears his name was “well on its way to “losing its soul.” Ungaro explained, “This happens to a lot of designers. We were creator/owners, responsible for both the designs of the house and its destiny. But when you give up your house, we’ve also given up our soul.” –Peter Mikelbank

Lady Gaga’s New Must-Have Accessory? Her Own Line of Headphones!

Lady Gaga may have gotten the internet buzzing with her over-the-top high fashion picks, from Alexander McQueen to Agent Provocateur, in her new video “Bad Romance,” but we’re the most interested in her new accessory that she debuted in the high-concept clip — her very own Heartbeats by Lady Gaga headphones. The high-tech fashion headphones are the newest addition to the Beats by Dr. Dre headphone collection from Monster. Gaga, who oversaw the design of the jewel-inspired in-ear headphones, explained the driving force behind the launch. “In the deepest hour of the night, I confess to myself three things; I would die if I was forbidden to write, forbidden to love, or forbidden to fashion,” she said, in a release. “Heartbeats embody the trinity of my human being, with one additional vow: that sound matters.” The high-performance headphones were designed to look as good as they sound–playing double-duty as a fashion accessory. Heartbeats are available in three styles: metal with a rose red jewel-shaped earpiece, metal with a chrome jewel-shaped earpiece and black-on-black body and jewel-shaped earpiece. Preorder your own for $100 (from the original $120) at Amazon.com.–Kristin Larson
