| Kelly will have her hair cut for the show on Thursday. She is letting the audience decide how to cut it. There are five styles to chose from on the website. They're all basically similar versions of the just below the chin bob that she's had in the past. |

| Well if you like Kelly's current style which I certainly do, then style #3 looks to be the less length she would lose. Wish their was a way to contact her and keep her from hacking her hair off but that would be like trying to prevent Ann from hers. lol Kelly really looks great right now, hate to see her cut it! BTW, looks like you can vote as many times as you want on the website. |

I also love Kelly's current haircut and wish she wouldn't go through with this. I was hoping it was just the "virtual" gag. But if she does, can someone find out if it'll be recorded for the internet users, like Ann's cut? Thanks. -d-

| The funny thing is, the day after- on Friday, they have a guest who specializes in extensions. Maybe she booked that guest just in case the haircut goes bad! Wouldn't that be funny! |

I'm surprised they've never done this before. The show thrives on audience
participation. People fell like they know Regis and Kelly. None of these are too short. I'm sure she'll grow it out again. She does every time she cuts it. |

I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, it seems like she's had the
same length and cut forever, and would look great in any one of a bunch of new and shorter and/or layered styles that have become popular in the last few years. And I say that even though she's been wearing it curly quite a bit the past few weeks! I'd vote for bangs too, as the front section always seems to hang very heavy and fall in her face. Still, I watched the segment yesterday where they showed about a dozen potential styles, and they were pretty much universally panned by Kelly, Regis, and the entire audience. And I'd agree - all the styles seemed completely out of left field, all some combination of not right for Kelly, not in style, ratty, or all of the above. No bangs, no layers, no flips, nothing that would (IMHO) really compliment her face in a new and different way. Everyone seemed stunned at how bad the choices were (the audience kept booing, and Kelly kept saying "They're speaking for me too!") Still, Kelly seems to have culled it down to her "top" 5. I picked #3 because to me it seemed the best of a bad bunch an offered the most possible styling options. I would've gone for #2, which I thought looked the best, but which I know will last 4 seconds with that shape before the ear tucks begin. If I were her, I'd ask for a postponement until someone can create a style she actually likes! How hard can that be? But since that likely won't happen, I'll just keep my fingers crossed and watch with one eye closed. By the way, on tomorrow's (Wednesday's) show they're having Oscar Blondi on to show some other "hot" styles, might be worth tuning in. ------------- Your hair is your best accessory; wear it with STYLE! |

| They show some hair models and Kelly said she wanted to keep it in a ponytail. but then a girl came out with a short type of bob with a heavy bang and shorter back. Kelly said she loved that cut. i think she might have gone it but have to wait and see. |

On today's show, the hairstylist cut off a few of inches of Ripa's hair in the back. I didn't see the very end of the show. Did they go shorter or give a hint for the final cut? It sure was a tease for Thursday's show. I noticed that one of the hairstyle models was American Idol loser Kelly Pickler, the blonde with the bangs. Did Pickler allow her hair to be cut or just curled? She's adorable. Apparently an airhead, but still adorable. |

It is an interesting gimmick, but I doubt they're doing it because ratings
are sliding. The whole thing seemed awfully staged. Kelly spent most of the week protesting and expressing a desire to stay long. Her protests were loud, but funny. They seemed a bit too much. If that's what she really wanted, she wouldn't have cut it on the air. I'm sure Regis and Kelly do these makeover shows a lot and they've never had her cut it on the air. So, she must have been totally game for it. Maybe it was her idea. If she only cuts two inches, I think the audience will be disappointed. People like changes in their makeovers. Again, she didn't have to cut it on the air. If she wanted a trim, she could do what most celebs do and cut it on her own time. When they were showing the cuts on the models, Kelly was giving her two cents and so was Oscar. But they never talked. I'm guessing that the two of them decided on the cut before the show, so the whole thing on the show was staged. They didn't show the final result. Oscar just trimmed it on the air. Big reveal tomorrow. |

She cut her hair so that it's just brushing against her shoulders, with sideswept bangs. A semi-significant cut (in an office people might notice, but not react a whole lot), but I'm not sure it's worth 4 days of build-up. Kind of disappointing, because I thought she looked really cute with the short bobs. And seriously... 3 days of build up for basically a healthy trim? Sheesh. |

| I would have to say it had something to do with her other job, Hope & Faith. They probably wasn't too crazy of her changing her hair drastically. Just my oppion. I`m glad though she didn't do a hack job on it. |

I haven't seen it yet but that would have to be a good 10 or 12 inches right? Thats a pretty major cut in my book!

| More like 5 or so inches. I would speculate that perhaps a more drastic cut was planned, but she got cold feet... |

She basically cut the damaged, very thin, layers off. I'd agree that it was not worth all the build up. Her hair needed to be trimmed up. She probably could have kept a couple more inches in length if she wanted to. The end result is nice but not worth all the hoopla. She looks great with long and mid length styles but if you're going to make a big deal about it go for something new and different. She could pull off a chin length or shorter style.
Nice cut, she's pretty, anticlimactic result for all the media hoopla. |

I agree with most - much ado about not all that much. The cut is
basically a shorter, slightly more layered version of exactly what she had before. It's still parted on the right, still looks very heavy in front, and took her exactly 3 seconds to tuck it behind her ear (I counted). The whole thing seemed odd. Kelly, who last November made a point of saying she'd love to go short and has done it many times before, was fighting the cut all the way. Regis, who was very involved and opinionated, telling her to do something very different and dramatic (like last fall, when he pushed her to get a pixie during sweeps month) didn't even mention it on this morning's show until she started screaming at him for not noticing, then said he really liked it. The audience seemed against it the whole time. Regis asked her if she'd still curl it (that's what I was wondering!) and she didn't really answer definitively, but my guess is she won't vary the style for a while. Just odd all around. So, I don't know... I'm glad to see her cut it, but wish she'd done something more different. Can't believe all the hoopla for the same style, 5 inches shorter. ------------- Your hair is your best accessory; wear it with STYLE! |

I haven't seen it yet, but Kelly has had her hair layered at her shoulders several times in the past. She always has the same look, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer, but NEVER spectacular. The before pics were possibly the best I've ever seen of her, but IMO it was too layered to really look smashing. So, a mild disappointment. But Kel, if you really wanted long hair, you should have demanded that the producers back off. You're big enough to tell subordinates to stick it where the sun cannot shine! (lol) How these stars allow themselves to be bullied into mediocre or horrible haircuts I'll never understand.

This was a significant cut. This in no way could be called a "trim". She went from almost mid back to shoulder skimming. I hate it. What sizzle I thought she had is totally gone. Way too "blah" for me. She was recentlly experimenting alot with curl and volume, which I loved. For the last while she looked different almost daily. Now, it will be this boring mess every day. Bad, Bad move. I bet she's on the grow as of this minute... |

Significant maybe if her hair still looked like it did back when they did the promo shoot
http://tvplex.go.com/buenavista/regisandkelly/funstuff/galle ry.html Looking at her hair yesterday the ends were looking very thin from too much layering and some damage. It just wasn't what you expect or anticipate if you are watching a "makeover" segment. |

| I was disappointed because it mainly looks just like the old style. It is shorter but I have to side with the "healthy" trim side rather than a significant cut. |

It also just occurred to me that the cut doesn't look like any of the
pictures Kelly saw, or any of the ones she posted online that we voted for. So, you know, that little exercise was worthwhile. On the other hand, most people agreed those choices weren't flattering, so maybe it's for the best. Still, this whole process feels like it wasn't designed well by the show's producers. Ah, well. ------------- Your hair is your best accessory; wear it with STYLE! |

They don't. Don't let her on screen protests fool you. That's the character she's playing. I'm sure Kelly was all for a cut, probably her idea. Stars as established as she is on this show don't get told what to do with their hair. They may get told when, but not how. |

and the audience. Hope she continues to play with the style. ------------- Your hair is your best accessory; wear it with STYLE! |
