Lucy Liu flipped out

 

What are the odds that we'd start with Lucy Liu and end at Dorothy Hamill?

     I'd rather see a woman at least once with long hair than never. (Are you listening, Dorothy Hamill?)  But, I'm extremely grateful for those ladies who *never* get "over" having tresses.

     As an aside, I am cognizant of the fact that with women, esp. in Hollywood, "never" sometimes means "for the rest of the week".  Thank you for the incredible website, Karen! Best, Bob 

 

 

 

As far as the DailyCeleb blogs that is a weird tale. 

 

I contacted Dave at the beginning of the blogs coming down and asked him what was up because I enjoyed the blog.  I told him that if he wanted to close I would move the Hollywood & Mane to HB.com and keep on blogging.  Dave told me that DailyCeleb.com had gotten so big (I can relate to that problem) that they had to relocate all their servers and get everything synced up and that the blogs would be back as soon as they had everything moved and put back together. 

 

Unfortunately that was almost 3 weeks ago and I don't like to bug Dave.  He is even busier than I am and often pulls allnighters shooting at red carpet events. He has invited me to come and hang out at some of the events and one of these days I will take him up on it when I can get to LA.  So I have been trying to be patient and not bug him.

 

I hope he reopens the blogs really soon because I got lots of feedback from there. 

 

I do have lots of new cool scoops but was sort of waiting for H&M but maybe I will reopen it on HB so I can share.

 

Thanks for your interest.  It is very much appreciated.

 

OK I talked to Robert who spent all of last week with Lucy doing a lot of press.  She is going to be featured in some new Gap ads I believe and has some other work coming out.

 

Robert said "Lucy is so over her long hair" and likes shorter, edgier, more sophisticated styles.  He said he and Lucy discussed her hair length and she does "not want to go longer than to the top of her shouders" plus she likes lots of layers and chunks with chemical texturizing.  If anything, Robert believes Lucy will go even shorter.

 

I passed on the scoop that some of the guys here would love to see her back in Ally McBeal long locks and Robert said "it will never happen" because Lucy has moved into a new phase with her look and is "so over that McBeal character".

 

So sorry guys.  Look for lots of new styles on Lucy.  By the way, Robert created that flip for her at Lucy's request.  She loved the style.

 

I didn't know you were from Michigan.  I definitely could benefit from some of that cool Summertime air up North.  It gets very hot here in Dallas.

 

I am going to be speaking with Robert today.  We have been trying to talk for about 3 weeks but between our two schedules the best we can do is text message at odd moments.  I will tell Robert that Kramer wants Lucy to go longer.  Not sure it will help but I will definitely tell him.

 

Robert, like Ken Paves, usually listens to their celebs and does not try to change their minds about their hair.  So if Lucy is not going longer it is all Lucy and not Robert.

 

One of the best calls I had with Robert was when he was staying in New York with Lucy and was describing all the hair products in her bathroom.  She really does use Robert's products, which was interesting to know.  And as an aside Jessica (Simpson) really uses Ken Paves' products. 

 

Last week I chatted for the 4th time with Laurent D (I love him, he is so funny and charming) and all his "girls" (Terri Hatcher, Tea Leoni, Jewel, Alyson Hannigan...etc.,) use his hair care products as well.  It is nice to see that they are all loyal to their hairdressers.

 

I have been getting text messages from Ken (Paves) as well.  He has been traveling with Jennifer Lopez for her latest movie premieres.  I have some scoops to put up on HB.com but have not had time to get that finished.  UGH.  He sent some images and hair notes but I need to untangle my scribbling.

 

Robert will start working again with Courteney Cox on Dirt in about 2 weeks.  He has met Jennifer Aniston a few times and told me she is very lovely in person and much more gorgeous in person than she appears onscreen.  He also said her hair is really beautiful but of course she doesn't want to talk about her hair, which we all already know. 

 

Robert also met Borat and his financee and other assorted folks through Courteney (whom he absolutely adores).  Robert and Ken both work like maniacs but they get to do the coolest things.  I am jealous.  :-)  Robert has also been working with Geena Davis & Brigid Fonda and I think he still does some things for Mary Louise Parker.

 

At any rate...I will put in a good word with Robert for Lucy to go longer.  By the way, as yet another aside...Lucy also works with Ken sometimes.  Lately Ken has been gone a lot and so Lucy has been working mainly with Robert.  Lots of chair hopping in Hollywood these days.  :-)
