http://www.eonline.com/On/101/BiggestCelebrityOops/TheCompleteList/index4.html - http://www.eonline.com/On/101/BiggestCelebrityOops/TheCompleteList/index4.html Hi On number 23, they mention Cher and Julia Roberts blonde hair color (bad hair daze). http://www.eonline.com/On/101/BiggestCelebrityOops/TheCompleteList/index5.html - http://www.eonline.com/On/101/BiggestCelebrityOops/TheCompleteList/index5.html On number 4, they mention K. Russel hairstyle on Felicity (TV Soap). Based on user poll, the Felicity oops is number 18. Any other celebrity hairstyle oops? |

I can't see why Keri Russell's haircut is a celebrity oops. Her fans didn't like it, but she liked it, and it's not like her show got cancelled as a result. It had only run one season at the time and went on for three years after that. This is hardly like Winona Ryder shoplifting. ------------- |

Word. This is nothing like any of the other mistakes on the list; even though she did eventually grow it out, I don't think she ever said that she regretted having done it. The ratings did drop around the time, but it had nothing to do with her hair. It had to do with changes in scheduling on the part of the network, which might throw viewers who had previously been able to work the show into their busy weekly schedules (IIRC, at one point they put it on Fridays! That is just not nice). But I don't think that that many people would stop watching just because of a haircut. ------------- Monica: Isn't there any way that you could look at this as flattering? I mean, she's doing this to be more like you. Rachel: Well, then, couldn't she have just copied my haircut? |

Hi Because the "Felicity disaster", Warner Bros executives put "No haircut rules" on their Soap / TV series stars: http://www.allstarz.org/~kristinkreuk/articles01.htm - http://www.allstarz.org/~kristinkreuk/articles01.htm |

The terms of that clause are just silly. She can't even wear it up for interviews? I reiterate: The drop in the ratings had nothing to do with Keri's hair. Why should Kristin and others be subject to such arbitrary rules? Furthermore, why in those few years was the WB so insistent upon having stars known for their hair when NBC was going to have them beaten in that department anyway? For that matter, is it even a contest?  ------------- Monica: Isn't there any way that you could look at this as flattering? I mean, she's doing this to be more like you.

While that's been reported, there is no such rule. Even if Ms. Kreuk thinks there is. Charisma Carpenter cut her hair into an ear length bob two years ago. Michelle Williams went short then long again on "Dawson's Creek." Alyssa Milano went from below her shoulders to a very short pixie before this season's "Charmed." Rose McGowan has changed her hair color a couple of times on that show. "Smallville" is different though. These are characters based on a comic book, so the audience has pre-set ideas of how they look. As Kristin says, Lana is a small town girl and the producers/network don't think she'd wear her hair in a trendy way. That makes some sense. ------------- |

Why is celeb hair even registering on the radar of "celebrity oops"es? Are there not enough celebs out there doing drugs, committing suicide, being charged with beating, raping, or murdering people to fill their list? Really, there are far worse things these people could be doing than getting haircuts, no matter what the rabid teen-aged fanbase thinks of it :-P . ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

Of course, Lana in the comic book is red head who looks nothing like Kristin, so resembling the comic isn't a factor. Still, Allison Mack(who plays Chloe) got in some degree of trouble because she cut her hair really short and bleached it really blonde after last season, which the producers said was too extreme for the character. |

Personally I loved Keri Russle's hair short alot better than it was long. I hope she cuts her hair short again, she look so cute! ------------- |

I read an article which said that after Keri Russell's haircut, virtually all male viewers of the show disappeared. Personally, I can understand why, because I thought the cut aged her 10 years.

I don't know where this article got it's information, but being in advertising I can tell you that the ratings fell off about 15% right after the haircut. So the article was probably someone who made it up knowing you didn't have access to the information to check it and it made a good point. By the end of the second season, the ratings rebounded. A lot of fans, including the men, didn't like the cut, but they didn't stop watching the show. I can understand not liking the look, but I can't see how it aged her ten years. Five years maybe. She looked about 16 before the cut and maybe 20 after. She was 23 at the time, so it was probably good to look a little older. ------------- |
