Watching Entertainment Tonight last night, they interviewed Lucy on the set of her new film, in which she plays a vampire. I was startled when I saw her, because she was sporting a bob that fell roughly mid way between the chin and shoulders. It had a fair amount of volume, curled into loose, fat, spiral type curls. I could tell right away it wasn't a wig, but thought it was artfully pinned up in a "faux-bob", as seen recentlly on Jessica Simpson and Carmen Electra. My first thought was "yikes", good thing it's just up. I was wrong.

When asked about her new do, Lucy just sort of shrugged and said it was "all right", and said it seems to be "lower maintenance now that all the length is gone".

Imo, bad. Really, really, bad. On the up side, there are no longer bangs, which I also didn't like on her, but that is the niceist thing I can say about it. Hate it.

I thought Lucy used to have one of the greatest heads of hair in the business. Well, not anymore.

I've searched the usual pic links, to no avail. I'm sure well get to see pics soon...

Didn't she have some kind of bob in Chicago too? Sounds like maybe it was just for the movie and will probably grow back thicker and better than ever.

"insert Queen soundtrack"

Another one bites the dust...

Haven't even seen the pic yet...but certainly a huge improvement.

My two cents.

Sorry folks, here's a picture

I think it's kind of cute.

You like cute? I love luscious! And i've lost that lovin' feeling.

By the way, how can all that curling and/or rollers (do they still use them?) be low-maintenance?

I love it love it.  I think she looks cute with a lil bob....she is stunning anyways no matter what her hair looks like.  The long hair was gorgeous but just very stereotypical for oriental hair-I like it!.

"Cute", yes, but Lucy loses about half her allure with this look. I thought her long layers were kinda sloppy looking, but superior to this, IMO. Unfortunately, I have noticed that about 80% of Asian women wear their hair this length. They have such wonderful hair, but the choppy bobs most have deaccentuate this major potential beauty feature.

I remember in some interview at least 5 years ago Lucy was on Letterman or Leno and got into the topic of her long hair.

She explained that when she was very young her mother made her keep her hair short, and when she got on her own, her way of rebelllion was to grow it long.

She went on to explain and I cant remember how short her mom made her keep it, but Lucy said she dreaded goign out it was so short and her mother would cut her hair herself and as lucy described , because her mom had an asian accent would say to her with her accent "Long hair looks messy, looks better short and neat, short and neat"

I remember this interview because the crowd laughed when Luct kept imitating her mother's voice and the phrase "Short and neat"

The valedictorian of my high school class was also my prom date and she had waistlength hair. Now, years later, it's up to her shoulders. How would she figure into your calculations?

For you guys to stereotype a certain race of people and the length of their hair is not only politically incorrect and ridiculous, it's borderline racist.

Well..you can say certain things about particular ethnic groups and hair. For example, Indian and Arab women do mostly keep their hair long (not everyone of course, but the vast majority). Italian, Spanish and Portuguese women also have far longer hair, on average, than those in the US, or Germanic, north European countries. Nothing racist about calling the situation as it is.

*Oh yes, Ukranians and Russians often keep their hair far longer than is normal in the US as well. Wasn't Kramer and Dave Decker going into raptures of appreciation about this very fact, not so long ago?

In 2002, Lucy Liu ranked ninth on askmen.com's 99 most desirable women list.

This year, she's 80th on the same list and 76th on FhM's list of 100 sexiest women in the world.

With her new haircut, I'm willing to bet that she falls off both lists. Is there no chance it's a wig?

I'm always perplexed when people say any Asian woman who cuts her hair is trying to look Western.  They don't say Western women who grow their hair are trying to look Asian.

Oh, and Ann Curry trying to look Western. . . that's a little odd to say, since she's only part Asian, anyway.

Bob S wrote: Kramer, I am not ashamed to say that I think Asian long hair is sizzling. Some, including my best Asian woman friend, look great with a bob, but I think others are misguided, trying to look Westernized. (Includes Ann Curry once upon a time, Bai Ling and Lucy now.)  BTW, how can one be racist against a group he admires?   Bob

     Ann's late Japanese mom was always trying to get her to grow her hair, telling Ann she looked like "a man". Only after Mom's death did Ann give long hair a whirl, to the gratefulness of countless men, may I add! (lol)

     I think most people of all races who come to the States try to emulate our hairstyles. It is a source of pain for many of the elders of varying ethnicities, I've read, and witnessed in some cases. I don't think it is *necessarily* wrong for one to wish to assimilate, of course. Each person must choose his or her own path. Blessings, Bob

It's too late. I've lost that lovin' feeling. In some of those Yahoo news photos, she's got a Renee Zellweger sort of smile going.

Ever consider the possibility that it was pinned up in a bob for the movie/ET interview?  Did she ever actually say she cut it in that interview? 

Just a thought,
