My sister lost all her hair in the past two weeks due to her first chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer. She had bought a very beautiful wig earlier but hasn't worn it yet. That's because she found a very cool cap she prefers instead. If she lets me show her photo here I will but in the meantime, sis, here's another funky hat that would really suit you.

Katie Holmes, age 29 has had her famous bob trimmed down to a pixie cut. Her new hairstyle is similar to Rihanna's haircut, but Rihanna's is decidedly spikier and more punkish.

Looks like L'Oreal may have a controversy brewing. They are denying they digitally lightened Beyonce's skin for an ad in the new issue of Elle magazine. It will be interesting to see what Beyonce has to say about this. She hasn't made any comments about it yet.
Beyonce originally signed on with L'Oreal in 2001 for a five year deal worth up to $4.7 million. It's amazing, but the initial contract is available online for all to see. The contract specifies that Beyonce must let L'Oreal know of "any radical changes to her hair any concert tour may necessitate" and that she has to maintain her hair "in excellent condition." She can't go near Revlon or Clairol products and must maintain "approximately the same physical appearance and health". It also gives L'Oreal the right to actually inspect Beyonce's hair as long as she gets two weeks notice.

Here's a fun video about weddings in Beijing. "Weddings gone Wild" is hosted by Sufei, and is in parts a cute parody on Sex in the City.
Today is considered a very lucky day to get married in China. That's because it is the 8th day of the 8th month in 2008 and eight is considered the luckiest number. Also, the date coincides with the first day of the Olympics in Beijing.
