Tom Brady Catches Justin Bieber Hair Fever: Love It or Hate It?

Splash News Online; Troy Rizzo/Getty

Just before wife Gisele made her big comeback on the catwalk in Brazil, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was in Boston debuting something of his own–a shaggy new bowl cut! The proud papa of baby Benjamin was spotted front-and-center at the NBA finals last week sporting an overgrown mop that was a major departure from the debonaire, cropped hair that we’re used to seeing on the handsome quarterback during football season. The teenager-like look drew an overwhelming response from Patriots nation, with Boston-area stylists telling the Boston Herald that Brady’s Bieber hair should be “a little more textured, layered, a little more shaped.” We must admit: It’s hard to think of anyone but Justin Bieber when we look at the new do. Tell us: Do you like Tom Brady’s new hairstyle? David Yi

Art Collector Daphne Guinness Scoops Up Isabella Blow Collection

Potential bidders at the planned auction of the late Isabella Blow’s iconic wardrobe can scratch the September 15 event off their to-do list. The sale was called off Monday when the unparalleled lot–which included over 90 outfits by the late Alexander McQueen, more than 50 hats by Philip Treacy, and original photographs by famed lensmen like Mario Testino, Steven Meisel and David Lachapelle–was scooped up in a private sale, according to Christie’s London. The buyer, revealed in Monday’s New York Times as art and fashion collector Daphne Guinness, aims to keep the collection intact. “It’s Issy — it’s her DNA — it should not be scattered to the four winds,” Guinness told The Times. “I want it to remain as a monument.” The British auction house, while confirming the private sale in a statement, declined to name Guinness as the buyer saying only that “the planned public auction in September will no longer take place. The buyer wishes to remain private but is committed to keeping the Collection together.” –Marissa Patlingrao Cooley

Demi Lovato Debuts New Highlights on Twitter

Lightening up your locks for summer is a time honored tradition, and Demi Lovato is the newest star to do it. Lovato just posted pics of herself with new chic layers, with strategic golden strands. “Fixed some highlights + added more,” she posted on her Twitter. “I’ll add pics soon! I have blonde in my hair!!! Ahhhhh!!!!!” The 17-year-old star of Disney’s Sonny With A Chance changed up the do after sporting a raven-colored mop for quite a while. While the young singer isn’t afraid of changing up her look every now and then, this is the first time she’s gone quite this golden. We think the new tone is perfectly suited for her summer tour and that it could quite possibly give her a sunny new outlook after her breakup with Joe Jonas. Tell us: What do you think of Demi Lovato’s new look? David Yi

Looks like Gisele Bundchen‘s maternity leave is officially over. The supermodel appeared on the catwalk at the Colcci show on Sunday during Sao Paolo Fashion Week, marking her first time back on the runway since delivering her six-month-old baby, Benjamin Brady, last December. As expected, the 29-year-old Brazilian beauty–who unveiled her slim post-baby body posing for the brand’s winter ad campaign just six weeks after giving birth–looked as flawless as ever in the sheer patterned tops and leg-baring looks from the label’s Summer collection. And where was her son during his mother’s post pregnancy runway debut? “He’s at home,” Bundchen told Brazilian newspaper Estado de Sao Paulo. “Mom’s here working, it’s not right to bring him.” –Marissa Patlingrao Cooley
