Fantasy HairBall

So, I've been playing Fantasy Football again this year. Every week, on many sites, experts give tips on players that may not be on your radar, but are starting to play well, poised to play well, or are playing well and you may not have noticed. In that vein, I decided to do the same thing for celebrity hair - throwing out some names of folks that we haven't been discussing or keeping up with, but are definitely worth following up on or taking a look at.

So, who are the sleepers who might not be on your Fantasy HairBall team, but should? Well...


Andrea Parker - Formerly of "The Pretender" and now seen weekly on "Less Than Perfect" on ABC. Longer and blonder than before, I'm not wild about the color, but love the looser style.


Sofia Milos - Other than the fact that you may not be watching "CSI:Miami" because David Caruso is just annoying, I can't imagine why no one has mentioned Sofia's glorious curls on this board.


Neve Campbell - Ok, she's been talked about a lot, but I can't believe no one linked to this amazingly cut version of her style she showed off recently at the premiere of her new movie "The Company". Best I've seen Neve look in a while.


Vanessa Lengies - One of the stars of NBC's "American Dreams", she's very cute and just simply has really nice hair.


Jada Pinkett Smith - In all the "Matrix" hype, somehow everyone has managed not to mention of fabulous Jada looks of late. After just letting her hair grow out from her skin tight crop for the last five or six years, her mane now falls to her waist in a glossy black sheet. Plus, she's kinda pretty.


Frances Fisher - Lately you probably saw her in NBC's "The Lyon's Den." She's a little older and her brows are a little scary, but you can't deny the fact that she has great hair.


Kim D1ckens - Wore the shag mullet before the shag mullet was cool. And pretty much the only person I've seen make it actually look good.

That's all for now. Feel free to add you own to this list.

Jada looked great in very short hair but she looks good in the long hair too. She's so pretty!
Sofia and Vanessa look great too. Their hairstyles are nice and they are very pretty ladies!

I adore Andrea Parker, especially the way her hair looked in later "Pretender" seasons. She looks more tan now, as well as blonde, which makes her look kind of washed out. I like her loads better with porcelain skin and dark hair.
I haven't been watching the "CSI" spin-off unless there's literally nothing else to do, and yes, it is because of Caruso :-P . *pokes him* I happened to see it once or twice recently, though, so I just found out Sofia Milos is on it. I remembered her only as the mean, stuck-up Greek lady from "Caroline in the City" (yeah, late night reruns happen when you've little else to do :-P ) but I always thought she was pretty. I usually don't care much for curls because they tangle on your fingers, but hers suit her exotic beauty really well.
Jada Pinkett Smith disappoints me, I'm afraid. Maybe my memory is faulty, but didn't she used to be a big short hair advocate? I seem to remember her proudly speaking out against the notion that wives and mothers are supposed to grow their hair really long, and then she goes out and does it herself? *pokes her five times with pointy objects* That kind of thing always disappoints me.

Great post, Jerky. And thanks for noticing the beautiful hair on American Dreams. How about the blonde on "8 Simple Rules" - she is sporting some major bangs lately !!!

Thanks for the mini-column JerkyFlea.

Neve looks like she needs a haircut. She looks best with the style she had in Scream 2.

Hey JerkyFlea....Lovely job.

Considering the American Dreams thing....I assume your talking about the TV show...??

I don't think Megs hair is right for that time in history...??? I was a little young then to know for sure, but Whats with the 90"s waves all separated with styling product....there were no styling products then aside from "dippity do" and "Final Net". It shoud be combed smooth. imo.
Am I way off base here?? Has anyone else seen her hair on that show?

Ah yes... I remember "Miss Parker" from The Pretender. On the show I liked it when her hair started to grow a bit longer than the usual bob. I liked her skin/hair color (rich brunette) on that show. Blonde, dunno about that color, but with the current length she looks great.

Jada Pinkett Smith... gorgeous woman, gorgeous hair... a fine example of a woman who bucked the expectation that new mothers are supposed to cut their hair short.

Vanessa Lengies... and Brittney Snow ("Meg") of American Dreams... I agree, Sophie, that Brittney's hair seems incongruous with the time period in which the show is set (currently early 1965) but Vanessa's hairstyles seem spot on for the time period (same has been true for Virginia Madsen, who is in the role of Meg's mother). Not that I watch the show or anything... sort of like a guilty pleasure. (shhh)
