Dec 19, 2012 @ 12:51 pm

Rose McGowan recently went platinum blonde for the first time ever, and to complete her hair makeover, she really needed to commit. “All told, it took about 27 hours,” McGowan told InStyle.com at the Humane Society of the United States’ To The Rescue! New York benefit. “The first day alone was 14 hours,” The dye job was done by celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham—much loved by stars like Natalie Portman, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Drew Barrymore—and was inspired by Michelle Pfeiffer’s iconic locks in Scarface. “I’ve just been in a little bit of a rebellious mood, what can I say?” McGowan said of her decision. ”It was a big transition.” Indeed!

Dec 19, 2012 @ 12:41 pm

The most wonderful time of the year can also mean the busiest, and Zoe Saldana is among the many of us who feel the pressures of shopping this season. ”The weeks mounting up to Christmas are exhausting because you wait until the last minute,” the actress told InStyle.com at the Target + Neiman Marcus holiday collaboration launch party. However, for Saldana, she’s attacking her list from all angles. “In the morning when I wake up I’m shopping online,” Saldana said. “And sometimes if I do have time I’ll drive somewhere and enjoy it. So I do a little bit of both.” Her go to site? “Barneys.com!” Good pick—they sure have some great menswear for her man, Bradley Cooper!

Cassadee Pope of Team Blake Shelton won the third season of NBC’s The Voice last night! The 23-year-old from West Palm Beach, Florida, earned herself a recording contract from coming in first, and as part of her final performances, she took to the stage with the likes of Avril Lavigne, The Killers, and the original American Idol Kelly Clarkson.

Project Runway: Zac Posen Replaces Michael Kors as Judge

Dec 19, 2012 @ 11:10 am

There’s a switching of the judges on Project Runway! Michael Kors is leaving the show, and filling his empty seat is celebrity-favorite Zac Posen, who took Twitter to announce his big news. “So excited to be the new judge on @ProjectRunway Season 11!!” The switch is due to scheduling conflicts that prohibited Kors from being a regular judge. However, this is not the end of Kors’s days on Project Runway. “Michael will be seen in the future on the show and we are excited to confirm that Michael will be back as a judge for season 11 finale,” Lifetime said in a statement. And while Kors’s words of wisdom will be missed—auf wiedersehen for now!—we’re excited to see Posen in action. Project Runway returns to Lifetime on January 24th at 9/8c.

Happy 32nd Birthday, Jake Gyllenhaal!

Dec 19, 2012 @ 10:15 am

Jake Gyllenhaal turns 32 today! The sexy star earned a cult-like following more than 10 years ago when he portrayed Homer Hickam in October Sky and the angsty titular character in Donnie Darko, and his screen career kept building since. For his most recent movie role, he played a South Central Los Angeles police officer in End of Watch, a role that required him to train for five months with real-life officers. “It was a long, amazing process and the police officers that we met along the way are some of my closest friends to this day, and hopefully forever,” the actor told InStyle.com at the Toronto International Film Festival. Happy birthday, Jake!

If you already miss The CW’s Gossip Girl, you won’t have to wait much longer for the network to replace it with another salacious and fashionable show. Premiering January 14th is The Carrie Diaries, which follows a young Carrie Bradshaw (AnnaSophia Robb) pre-Sex-and-the-City, as she navigates both Manhattan and her hometown in suburban Connecticut in the ‘80s. And falling in line with Sex and the City’s fashion legacy (courtesy of costume designer Patricia Field), the show has Gossip Girl costume designer Eric Daman on hand to dress the young Carrie in all her pre-Manolo looks. (Daman gave InStyle.com this exclusive preview of Carrie’s fashion above!) “This is more of an independent film and we have to make everybody ‘80s-appropriate,” he told InStyle.com of his approach. “This New York is a much brighter kind of neon meets gritty.” Catch all the radical ‘80s fabulousness when The Carrie Diaries premeires January 14th on The CW at 8/7c.
