Brooklyn Decker’s Drastic Haircut: No Regrets

Brooklyn Decker Chops 10 Inches Off Her Hair

She shocked fans after revealing her dramatically shorter do via Twitter in March, but Brooklyn Decker has only good things to say about her new bobbed look. “I love it. I thought I was going to have that one moment of regret that you usually do when you chop off 10 inches but not one time have I ever regretted it,” the Sports Illustrated model told reporters this week at the New York City launch of Amazon’s new fashion website, MYHABIT.com. But while drastic, lopping off her locks was by no means an impulse decision. “I love any change. I’ve been dying to chop it, shave it off, dye it black for forever but no one would let me do it.” And the Just Go With It star is enjoying the perks of her shorter style. “It’s so easy [and] I can’t hide behind my hair anymore which is actually kind of nice,” she admitted. “I would wear things and sort of be sloppy and because I had long hair I could cover it up, but now I have to try a little bit harder so it’s good.” So is another change in the near future? Asked if she too would go red like some of Hollywood’s hottest leading ladies recently have, Decker replied, “I would love to.” –Shruti Dhalwala

Justin Bieber’s ‘Really Big’ Fragrance Revealed


Splash News Online; Inset: Courtesy Give Back

Beliebers, your wait is over. Today, Justin Bieber unveiled his new “really big” women’s fragrance, Someday, to the world. The fruity scent, which comes in a clear glass bottle topped with an intricate heart-shaped flower, will hit American department stores in late June, and all proceeds will benefit some of Bieber’s favorite charities, including Pencils of Promise, which builds schools. In an email to WWD, the pop star said Someday was created with his young fans in mind. “Let’s be real, the way a girl smells is very important to a guy,” he wrote. “I have such a deep connection with my fans, so creating a fragrance that I personally love is another way I can bring them closer to my world.” The fragrance, an eau de parfum, will retail for $35 for 1 oz., $45 for 1.7 oz. and $55 for a 3.4 oz. bottle. Body lotion will also be available, and hair mist, of course. “They really let me take the lead on the entire project, because I know my fans better than anyone,” Bieber told WWD. Ads for the fragrance, costarring model Dree Hemingway, were recently shot by Terry Richardson, and a television commercial — filmed in a gravity-free cabin of a Boeing 737 NASA training jet — will debut after Thanksgiving. This isn’t Bieber’s first foray into the world of fragrance: his unisex fragrance-infused dog tags are on CVS shelves now. Tell us: Will you buy Bieber’s new scent?

She’s really getting into character! After revealing her new Hunger Games look on the cover of Entertainment Weekly on Wednesday, actress Jennifer Lawrence stepped out in New York City Thursday sporting the brunette tresses signature to her character, Katniss Everdeen. The choice to cast Lawrence, formerly a blonde, drew skepticism when it was announced in March. But the willingness to change her hair color definitely shows some dedication to the role. “I have a huge responsibility to the fans of this incredible book, and I don’t take it lightly,” she told reporters in March. “I will give everything I have to these movies and to this role to make it worthy of Suzanne Collins’s masterpiece.” Lawrence, nominated for an Oscar for her work in 2010′s Winter’s Bone, can next be seen in X-Men: First Class, out June 3. Tells us: Do you prefer Lawrence as a blonde or brunette?
