Having a Moment: Bob Haircuts Like Christina Hendricks, Jennifer Lawrence, Katharine McPhee, and Nikki Reed

Apr 25, 2013 @ 8:00 am

Don’t call it a comeback—the bob has been here for years! The style has been a standard since the 1920s, but stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Nikki Reed, and Katharine McPhee recently gave the classic look new life. Christina Hendricks is the latest celebrity to jump on the trend: She debuted her new ‘do at Mad Men event in New York City, and proved that the versatile cut works on just about every face shape. Inspired to make a similar change? Print out a picture of the version you like best so your stylist can tailor it to suit you. The choppy sections should be cut opposite in proportion to your face shape—square or round faces are balanced by longer layers, while longer face shapes can go with shorter pieces.

Watch: This Smash Season 2 Preview Is the Best One Yet

Jan 7, 2013 @ 11:09 am

“It’s going to be quite a show,” Jennifer Hudson’s character Veronica Moore says in the new extra-long trailer for the new season of Smash (watch it above!). She’s talking about her fictional Broadway show, of course, though she may as well be discussing the new approach for the second season of the show, which returns to NBC Tuesday, February 5th. The new episodes are full of promise—with new characters (Broadway heartthrob Jeremy Jordan gets a big storyline, Sean Hayes has a reunion with Will & Grace co-star Debra Messing, and Jennifer Hudson gets to show off her big voice in a big way, just to name a few), new storylines (Ivy’s fighting for Bombshell, Karen’s struggling with love and work, and Julia’s trying to get her life back together), and a new showrunner (John Safran from Gossip Girl leads the cast). “Let’s give ‘em a show they’ll never forget,” Hayes’s character Terrence Falls says in the preview above. We’re all waiting for it! Watch the trailer above for a sneak peek.

Smash Season 2 Preview: Watch It Here!

Nov 20, 2012 @ 10:05 am

The show goes on! NBC just released a sneak peek of the new season of Smash, and we’re dancing our toes off beneath our desks to the sound of new cast member Jennifer Hudson belting it out in the 46-second trailer. The short clip proves the second season picks up right where we left off—Julia (Debra Messing) is on rocky footing with her husband and her writing partner Tom (Christian Borle), Karen (Katharine McPhee) is still struggling to find her footing, Ivy (Megan Hilty) is as conniving as ever, and Eileen (Anjelica Huston) just wants to get the lights to turn on for her Marilyn Monroe musical, Bombshell. We’re also even more optimistic about the show’s new cast members after this quick look: Jeremy Jordan, the hot lead of Broadway’s Newsies joins as a love interest, Jimmy, Sean Hayes reunites with his Will & Grace co-star Debra Messing to play Terrence Falls, a star trying to make his Broadway debut, and, of course, Jennifer Hudson shines as Tony Award-winning Broadway star Veronica Moore. Watch the preview above, and see an extended look at yahoo.com. We can’t wait until Smash returns on its new night, Tuesdays at 9/8c, starting February 5th. Mark your calendars and warm up those vocal chords to sing along!
