We all know Rihanna can Talk That Talk, but who knew she was a Gossip Girl too?
When the singer debuted a sneak peek at her new platinum do (which she’ll sport on an upcoming cover of ELLE), we couldn’t help but think of another towheaded trouble maker: Taylor Momsen.
With that chunky fringe and stained pout (not to mention that major ‘tude!), Rihanna is the spitting image of a good Upper East Sider gone bad.

Nearly 84 percent of StyleWatch readers said they love Reese Witherspoon‘s new bangs, but there’s a somewhat dark reason behind the star’s new hairstyle. During an interview with Graham Norton, airing Saturday night on BBC America, Witherspoon reveals details about her recent car accident — and the scar it left behind.
“I was jogging and I got hit by a car,” she shares. “They said I am very hard-headed because I landed right on my head and I have a scar, hence my new hairdo. I don’t remember much about it but miraculously and thank God, I am fine.”
Though she didn’t press charges against the driver, an 85-year-old woman, there were legal repercussions. “They took away her license and gave her a bus pass,” the actress explains.
Moving into lighter territory, Witherspoon — who stars in the upcoming romantic action comedy This Means War — reflects on her stellar 2011, which included her wedding to Jim Toth and a meeting with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. “It was really fun,” the actress shares. “[Kate] was lovely and funny and she said some sweet girly things. I think she is handling herself so beautifully.”

Bieber called: he wants his swoosh back! Though the pop star’s once-iconic hairstyle is no more, Juno star Olivia Thirlby is picking up where he left off, trading her long brunette locks for a feminine version of his cut. Popping up at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, last week, the starlet showed off her new look, which references Bieber’s with its bowl-ish shape and sweeping bangs. She’s got the perfect face for a pixie, but we want to know what you think. Tell us: Are you loving Thirlby’s Bieber-esque haircut?

Despite her influential pixie and daring red carpet acumen, Emma Watson doesn’t consider herself glamorous.
“My problem is that I am a little bit boring,” she admits to French Elle. “I don’t wear designer bags or big sunglasses.”
And regardless of access to designer duds, the Harry Potter star’s downtime is underscored by a more casual approach to fashion: “When I don’t have to play Emma Watson in public, I’d rather not put myself out there,” she explains. “I have to be more careful with my look in my everyday life.”
But what about those ubiquitous Lancôme beauty ads? “Someone asked me why I accepted this job, as I wanted to stand in the shadows,” she says. “Actually, I gave up the idea that I could [ever] become anonymous again!”

With her flawless skin and luminous locks, it’s hard to believe the Courteney Cox is in fact, 48 years old.
Good thing xoJane.com enlisted the star to once again dispense tricks of the trade. “Hair is a tough one,” she admits. “I’m pretty lazy. I don’t even know how to use a blow dryer.”
To achieve trademark on-set loose curls, she refers to her Cougar Town guru, Brant Mayfield, who wraps big sections with a $130 Clipless Enzo Milano curling iron. To prepare for heat, he uses $27 Bumble and bumble Thickening Spray to add texture to just-washed hair.
“When your hair is dry from frequent blow drying, try a $16 Moroccan Oil treatment,” Cox advises. “It’s made of argan oil which is very nourishing and conditioning.” Other faves include $8 one-and-you’re-done lip moisture from Acca Kappa. “It really stays on and also has an SPF. I like the vanilla flavored one,” she gushes.
A self-professed former “sun worshiper,” the star relies on $85 NIA 24 Niacin-Powered Skin Therapy to help with hyperpigmentation and to improve skin’s texture and tone. “I’m actually a fan of all their products,” she says. “Their sunscreen is great!”

Another day, another hair change for Kim Kardashian. The reality star dyed her hair Sunday, posting a photo to Twitter on Monday.
“I dyed my hair lighter yesterday! I’m loving it,” the soon-to-be divorcée wrote. “New hair color=new beginnings for me. You like?”
Kardashian, who added clip-on bangs to her hair earlier this month, dyed her hair a similar shade of brown last summer. “I feel younger,” she wrote at the time. Her colorist, Rebecca Friedman, told PEOPLE that the look gave the star “more dimension,” too. While we love Kardashian’s hair color, we have to admit: it doesn’t look that different to us! What do you think?
