Dear Penn Badgley, We Love Your Haircut

We were always Dan Humphrey fans. For most of Gossip Girl, the guy was sweet, sexy and sensible — at least in comparison to his Upper East Side pals.

But then his hair got, well, kinda crazy. Actor Penn Badgley let his look go a bit in 2012, slowly transforming from Gossip Girl prepster into shaggy hipster dude. Sorry to say, Penn, seeing your head curls compete with your chest curls was kind of a turn-off — though we still held a (small) candle for you.

However, we’re happy to say our prayers have been answered: We just saw a photo of Badgley this week and his hair is short and sexy again! The actor reportedly ditched his curly ‘do after Gossip Girl wrapped, though this is the first official pic we’ve seen. And keep looking at. Because we’re so excited about the look. And the facial scruff.

Now that Gossip Girl is over, we’ll be interested to see where the actor takes his hair — and, we suppose, his career. But for now, we’re hoping he keeps this look, because it’s working. Really working. Tell us: How do you prefer Badgley’s hair: long or short?

Shaun White Lops Off His Long Locks for Charity

Shaun White Haircut

From the wrong side of the law to the right side of his heart.

Olympic snowboarder Shaun White chopped off his famed long locks on Tuesday, donating several inches of his red hair to Locks of Love and documenting the process on camera.

“I’ve been thinking about this one for a while,” he says nervously in the video below. “But it’s for a good cause so I want to do it. Somebody needs it more than I do.”

Shia LaBeouf Shaves His Head

Shia Lebeouf Shaved Head AKM-GSI

What’s the buzz, Shia?

After sporting shaggy hair all summer long, Shia LaBeouf stepped out in Hollywood on Tuesday showing off a newly shaved head. While he did chop his locks, the star decided to keep his somewhat scruffy beard.

We’re not sure why the actor decided to try the new hairstyle, but it’s possible it’s for a role: He’s set to make his Broadway debut early next year in the upcoming play Orphans.

The new look is definitely much better than that caveman thing he had going on early this year, but we’re still holding out for the return of classic Shia, with his cute curls and five o’clock shadow. Tell us: Do you prefer LaBeouf with long hair or a shaved head?

How Ethan Zohn Is Raising Money with His Mustache

Nov/21/2012 at 05:00 PM ET

While he was battling cancer, Ethan Zohn couldn’t even fathom growing a thick, full beard. But these days, the former Survivor star and two-time cancer survivor is growing one heck of a mustache as part of the men’s cancer charity, Movember.

“As a full-time cancer crusher, I’m always looking for fun ways to get involved with the fight against cancer,” Zohn tells PEOPLE in the clip above. “What better than to have an excuse to let yourself get really hairy for cancer research?”

We recently caught up with Zohn at MiN New York — an apothecary in SoHo — where the star got a little facial hair TLC courtesy of men’s groomer Kumi Craig. Though she kept his mo intact, she cleaned up his growing beard and just trimmed his ‘stache, since as part of the Movember challenge, Zohn has to keep his mustache growing for the 30 days of November.

Friday Flashback: Remember John Stamos’s Awesome ’90s Hair?

John Stamos on WhoSay

The ’90s were a time of many a pop-culture obsession, among them, John Stamos’s awesome Full House hair. Fluffy, dark, voluminous, somewhat mullet-y — now that was a look to aspire to.

We’ve caught a glimpse of it here and there during late-night reruns on Nickelodeon, but just before the Full House cast’s fun-filled (and, uh, boozy) reunion a few weeks ago, we were excited to stumble upon this vintage photo, shared on Stamos’s WhoSay page.

Ben Affleck’s Family ‘Unanimously Hated’ His Shaggy ‘Argo’ Look

Ben Affleck's new hair GSI Media

Ben Affleck‘s upcoming movie, Argo, promises lots of drama, but while filming, the actor faced almost as much drama in his personal life — thanks to his shaggy ‘do and facial hair.

“My family unanimously hated the look,” he told reporters Sunday during an Argo press conference at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Since the film is set in 1979 (it focuses on the Iran hostage crisis of that year), Affleck was required to go with period style — everything from clothing to, yes, hair. “My dad was like, ‘What kind of work would want you to look like that?’” Affleck recalled during the press conference. His answer? “That’s a good question.”

Though the ribbing from his dad was minimal, it was his wife, Jennifer Garner, that was perhaps most appalled by the look. In fact, when one reporter told Affleck she liked his shaggy style, he joked, “You didn’t have to kiss me!”

Young daughters Violet and Seraphina had opinions, too. “I kept trying to tell my littler kids [that this was for work],” the actor said. But “they would say, ‘Why can’t you shave your … prickles? Shave your prickles!’” Thankfully for his family, he (kind of) has. Tell us: Did you like Affleck’s hairier look? And do you plan to see Argo?

Wow it just got hot in here. Alexander Skarsgård and model Lara Stone heat up the screen in their new campaign for Calvin Klein’s Encounter cologne — and we have an exclusive look behind the scenes.

In the clip above, True Blood‘s Skarsgård drives through the rain to reach Stone for their, uh, encounter, and runs up to her apartment for a strong, steamy embrace. It’s so intense, we half expected his fangs to come out.
