Ryan Miner/Splash News Online

Drew Barrymore certainly isn’t tame when it comes to her beauty looks. In the last year alone, she’s rocked everything from an exaggerated Marilyn Monroe-inspired bob at the Golden Globes, to streaks of blue paint for an indie music event. So when she switched to a conservative blonde bob recently, we knew it couldn’t last long. And Drew lived up to her daring ways last night, turning out in Boston to promote her film Whip It having dipped the ends of her long bob in black dye. Her two-tone do works with her punky plaid shirt and heavy liner, but will we see her sporting it to next week’s Emmy Awards? What do you think of Drew’s latest beauty change-up?

Lindsay Lohan and Taylor Swift aren’t the only celebs known for rocking cascading ringlets — Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu is as famous as any Hollywood starlet for his head of curly hair. And he’s putting his hair care knowledge to good use with a new role as the spokesperson for Head & Shoulders and their campaign to raise awareness for Operation Once in a Life Time, which helps soldiers in need. When it came to fronting a hair care campaign, the choice was easy for the NFL star, he tells PEOPLE. “Being of Samoan decent, in my culture hair is a sign of power and strength so I keep mine long and curly,” he explains. “But with my rigorous training and having to wear my helmet all the time, I usually experience dryness and scalp itch.” His solution? “Believe it or not, my favorite product is Head & Shoulders Smooth & Silky, because it helps to control my frizz.” But beyond endorsing the product itself, Troy enjoys the philanthropic aspect of his new role, telling PEOPLE, “Many people think I’m a hero, but I think the true heroes are the men and women of the armed forces who risk their lives every day. To thank them, Head & Shoulders and I are partnering with Operation Once In a Lifetime, an organization dedicated to helping all service men and women, to grant the wishes of seven soldiers and donate thousands of dollars worth of Head & Shoulders product. I’m excited to give back — but the opportunity is there for everyone to help.” So just how can fans help? “At my Web site, Troytacklesmore.com, anyone can donate one dollar on behalf of myself and Head & Shoulders to fulfill the dreams of the seven soldiers.”

The Scoop on Paris Jackson’s Very First Haircut

Flynet

During a weekend getaway to Las Vegas with her brothers and grandmother, Paris Jackson decided it was time for a change: Michael Jackson’s daughter got her first haircut, trading in her long tresses for a shorter look. “The stylist gathered up all of the hair that was cut and placed it in a plastic bag for Jackson to take,” a source tells PEOPLE. The youngster — accompanied by one of her aunts — apparently told other guests at Michael Boychuck’s AMP Salon in the Palms Casino Resort that this was her first ever haircut, the source added. While in the salon, the 11-year-old also had her fingernails painted a bright lime green to match the color of the Palms hotel limousines. The salon pampering came during a weekend in Vegas with the Jackson kids’ grandmother, Katherine, who kept a close eye on Paris and her two brothers, Prince Michael I, 12, and Prince Michael II (a.k.a. “Blanket”), 7, as they enjoyed swimming in the Palms’ pool and dining at hotspot N9NE Steakhouse. – Mark Gray

Real Housewife Ramona Singer Dishes on Her New Haircut: “I’m Renewing Myself”

Jerritt Clark/FilmMagic

When Ramona Singer returns to the Real Housewives of New York City for Season 3 of the reality show, there’s little doubt that she’ll bring along the same feisty attitude as always — but one thing definitely will be different about the reality star when filming starts in September: she’ll be rocking a short new do. Last weekend at the closing day of the Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge at Blue Star Jets Field in Bridgehampton, Ramona debuted a softer, cropped coif and talked with PEOPLE.com about what prompted the change. “I’m renewing myself,” said Singer, “I went to Oscar Blandi and I wanted to get my hair trimmed. I needed a new look. And he said, ‘Okay, how short are you willing to go with it?’” While that question might terrify a less gutsy woman, Ramona’s never been accused of not living up to a challenge. “I never have it short,” said Singer. “And I said, here, at the shoulder,” she explains. “He said, ‘Do you trust me?’” And the end result was worth the risk, according to Ramona. “Afterward I said, ‘Oh, my God, I feel like an older Cameron Diaz‘ — very sexy and chic and young and hip. I loved it.” But the major benefit of the sexy new look? “You know what,” said Singer. “I washed it and I styled it in ten minutes. It’s fabulous.” –Jeffrey Slonim
