Would You Wear a Wig?

BellaSugar — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 12:00:06 -0700

I'm wiggin' out today. First, I saw Britney the cover of next month's (generously Photoshopped) Allure, and was entranced by her hair. Of course, it's a wig-but it looks natural and luxurious, and quite beautiful. On the other end of the spectrum are these hilarious dog wigs, which-well, you just have to see for yourself.

This got me thinking about wigs in general. I've only worn them for Halloween (Supergirl, Tippi Hedren in The Birds), so they've been ten-dollar cheapies that looked obviously fake. But high-quality wigs, which are often made of human hair, are convincing and cool. I think it would be fun to try out a Louise Brooks bob one day, then try a Farrah Fawcett feathered 'do the next. And of course, for women who've lost their hair because of cancer treatments, wigs can provide comfort and confidence (just ask Beautiful Lengths spokesperson Hilary Swank, who's growing out her hair for a wig right now). So I want to know: Would you wear a wig outside of a costume? And if so, what would you wear?

Do You Own a Wig?

Check out these saucy photos of Angelina Jolie for the July issue of Vanity Fair. It's hard to believe that someone with her gorgeous mane would ever feel the need to wear a wig, but it was actually her idea at the photo shoot. I don't own a wig, but I do like to wear my clip-on hair extensions as much as possible. Do you own a wig?

Lil Find: Wigging Out Like Celebs

When my baby still had a bald noggin at six months old, a friend gave her the hysterical hot pink Lil Kim wig from Baby Toupee. The hair pieces are available in three other styles – The Donald (as in Trump), the Bob (as in Marley) and the Samuel L. (as in Jackson).

Clearly a conversation starter, you can whip out the outrageous hair toupees at family events, birthday parties or any other festive gatherings to get a few laughs. And, your kid can look back at the photos of their crazy coifs and know they had a cool mom.

For Wig or For Real? Take the Quiz

Ever wonder if some of the amazing hair celebrities sport is actually theirs? It's not, more often than you might think. From weaves to extensions to outright wigs, can you guess which of my mystery celebs is rocking the hair their mama gave them . . . and who's as fake as her tan?

Question 1 of 4

These perfectly coiffed blond locks are pretty simple, but are they real?

Lily Wigs Out and Takes Another Tumble on Stage

PopSugarUK — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:34:28 -0800

Lily Allen performed barefoot last night at Manchester Apollo after tripping on stage in her high heels. The accident follows hot on the heels of Lily's tumble down the stairs during the Children in Need concert last week. Having stuck with her own hair and a monochrome outfit at her gig in Sheffield the night before, Lily wore a red Preen bandage dress and a two-tone wig for her concert in Manchester yesterday. Let's hope the rest of her tour goes without a hitch.

Brit Debuts Her Real, Non-Wig, Non-Extensions Hair!

Molly — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 09:00:53 -0700

It's the moment we've been waiting for since Britney dramatically shaved her head back in Feb -- the first glimpse at Brit's naturally grown in 'do!! She was driving around short-haired on Saturday and dare I say she looks pretty cute (and a bit like Kelly Clarkson)? After months of ratty wigs/extensions, it's so nice to finally see her real hair. Speaking of Brit's rough winter, the latest person (or, more appropriately, place) subpoenaed by Kevin's attorney in their custody battle is her rehab center Promises. He's definitely not going down easy.

While the short hair pics are hopefully a sign that she'll go natural more in the future, later that night she was back in long blonde out again with Criss Angel. Supposedly he is helping her for her big VMA performance, only the night's MC Timbaland hasn't even heard that Britney's planning to perform. He said, "I'm the maestro. If I don't know nothing about it...could be, hope not. I don't know, I don't know nothing about it. Wooh, that would be a headache." Britney? A Headache? Never! Ha. Even if she's really planning the performance, she'll probably find a way to back out. That being said, I hope she's still working on it because otherwise, this is a lot of time to be spending with the mindfreak.

Which Wig Looks The Most Festive on Lily Allen?

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 04:30:00 -0700

Wow, singer Lily Allen sure has gotten adventurous with her wig selection during Glastonbury. First we saw her wearing a platinum wig backstage and in the fields channeling Michelle Pfeiffer in a Scarface-inspired style. Then, just before she went on stage she changed into a bright pinky-purple coloured wig that reminded me of something Lady Gaga might wear. I think it's fun and certainly festive for this type of event. Which wig do you like the best on Lily?

Nikki and Kellan Get Close and Cozy For Nylon

PopSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 04:00:00 -0800

Nikki Reed and Kellan Lutz posed together in Fall tones for Nylon magazine. The on-screen couple looks adorable side-by-side, but in real life Nikki's happy with her boyfriend Paris Latsis and Kellan has been getting close with AnnaLynne McCord. Nikki and Kellan opened up to the magazine about their crazy lives in the wake of Twilight's success and what they do to get away from it all. Here's more:

Nikki on the initial success of Twilight: "We were just making a little independent film in Portland. . . I don’t know what happened. . . We’ve lived this entire year in shock."
Nikki on their new costar Bryce Dallas Howard: "Bryce is handling it like a champion. She’s beautiful, talented, and a wonderful addition."
Kellan on going out in public: "I used to love going to my local high school football games near my house. And I cant’ really go there anymore, without being wise. . . I do have a few wigs, actually. And sometimes I grow my facial hair out. I wanted to walk around Comic-Con this year, so I dressed kinda homeless. But someone recognized me and posted it online. I was like, 'Thanks. Now I can’t wear that again.'"
