In a recent interview with Women's Heath magazine, the blond actress shares how she tries to squeeze some kind of physical activity into her schedule every day, whether it's going for a walk, taking the stairs, or hiking with her pooches.

If you've ever felt as though you'll look bad unless you straighten your hair, get highlights, go blonde, get a perm, or cover your grays, you should see Good Hair. If you care about the effects narrow normative beauty ideals have on the people around you and the larger world, you should see it. Heck, if you've ever felt like you "needed" to do anything to be attractive or accepted, you should see it.

At Elle's 15th Annual Women in Hollywood event last night, a glowing Nicole Kidman rubbed shoulders with a host of stars, including Kate Beckinsale, Halle Berry, Eva Mendes and Anne Hathaway.
Nicole looked incredibly fresh faced, with perfect skin and just a hint of pink blush. Her eye makeup was dramatic, with dark black kohl on the upper lashes and a smudgy, lime green colour just below her eyes.

This is one of those things I always hear, and a lot of women, like Anna Wintour here, do seem to opt for blond as they get older. I always assumed women go blond in their 40s and 50s because it's the easiest way to cover gray, but I've heard some vague evolutionary biology stuff thrown around, too, where people say that blond = youth. Because babies have lighter hair than adults, generally, blondes read as more fertile and youthful.

I was shocked (shocked, I tell you!) to see this picture of actor Stephen Moyer, better known as Vampire Bill from True Blood, at a Nylon magazine party. There he is, just standing around, being blond. I don't know if this is his natural shade, but it does indicate that there's some coloring going down on set.

Picnik is a cool program for editing and aggregating photos online, especially if you don't have a copy of Photoshop handy. But recently, they introduced a lady-geared suite of features called Touch Up that has options like Sunless Tan, Highlights, Teeth Whitener, Blemish Fix, and my least favorite, Insta-Thin. (Because, you know, we girls always want to be thin.)
I decided to try it because I find the whole photo-editing thing dubious; I understand that this stuff's an accepted part of our culture, but I'm just saying that I don't think it's so great for our psyches to worry about "perfection."

At last night's premiere of G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra premiere in Japan, American actress Rachel Nichols arrived on the red carpet with super-dark hair. Over the past year, Rachel has dramatically changed her hair colour three times going from her original blonde shade to fiery red, back to blonde and then to a deep, rich brown.
