If it weren’t for that fateful audition in 1994, Hollywood may have only known Jennifer Joanna Aniston (born February 11, 1969) as the girl who starred in Leprechaun and the short-lived Ferris Bueller TV show.
But Friends changed everything for Jen, who played Rachel from 1994 until the show ended in 2004. It garnered her an Emmy, a Golden Globe and numerous People’s Choice Awards. It also established her as one of America’s favorite actresses.
Now Jen favors a lot of longer looks (compared to the shorter hairstyles she wore a lot in Friends), but she’ll still switch things up by moving her part or adding curls.

Pop singer Lady Gaga (aka Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, born March 28, 1986) rules when it comes to wacky hairstyles, recently stepping out in a purple/pink/blonde ‘do.
Even though I don’t always understand what she’s trying to do with her looks, I give her snaps for originality and risk taking.
Truth be told, this hair poll was the first to leave me at a loss for words (there’s no easy way to describe hairstyle numero uno). She’s not exactly a “long with loose waves” kinda gal, but I like that about her.

Hawt damn! Sookie Stackhouse and Vampire Bill Compton (VB!) are headed down the aisle.
I guess she really is his!
When Sookie, aka Anna Paquin (born Anna Helene Paquin on July 24, 1982), and True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer announced their engagement last Wednesday, the news brought fanged smiles to millions of True Blood fans (like me) around the world.
Congrats, Anna and Stephen!
Top five reasons to attend the Stackhouse/Compton wedding…
- It won’t be an early morning ceremony.
- Hosted bar at the reception, but all they serve is True Blood.
- Vampires love to party, so expect to dance from dusk till dawn to hits like You Shook Me All Night Long, Tonight’s the Night and Walking After Midnight.
- Experience the thrill of being both a guest AND a potential hors d’oeuvre.
- Trade makeup and beauty secrets with Lafayette!

Actress Natalie Portman (born June 9, 1981) has said, “I’d rather be smart than a movie star,” but the Harvard-educated (psychology) Golden Globe Award winner shines at being both.
When she’s not out doing things like guest lecturing on terrorism at Columbia University, where in 2006 she spoke about the political relevance of her film V for Vendetta, she’s serving as a film juror (the youngest ever) at the Annual Cannes Film Festival and taking bold chances with her look.
I’ll never forget her as the little girl who befriends a hitman in Luc Besson’s Léon (aka The Professional, 1994). She was 13 then. More than 20 films later, her star’s still on the rise.
