They say blondes have more fun but for these Hollywood actresses Yahoo say it’s the opposite and because they got rid of their blonde locks in exchange for a different color their careers have also done better.
Emma Stone
Gained fame as a redhead but was born a blonde. When she realized that her hair color was hindering her Hollywood career — she was being typecast as a cheerleader — she decided to make a change. “I just dyed my hair dark brown,” she told the “Independent. “And got my first role a week later, after which I thought: ‘People are closed-minded, man! Like a different hair color changes everything!’”
Sofia Vergara
“I’m a natural blonde, but when I started acting, I would go to auditions, and they didn’t know where to put me because I was voluptuous and had the accent but I had blonde hair,” she told Britain’s Daily Mail. “The moment I dyed my hair dark, [the cast directors said], ‘Oh, she’s the hot Latin girl.’ I loved it … Being brunette toned me down a bit.”
Olivia Wilde
Switched hair color because she was just didn’t conform to the typical blonde stereotype. As she told the New York Observer in 2007, “I’m a natural blonde, but I feel like a brunette. I feel like people treat me now how I should be treated. People used to be shocked, when I was blonde, that I wasn’t stupid. I used to get these comments that I swear people thought were compliments. Like, ‘Oh! You’re smart!’ — like they couldn’t believe it.”
Angelina Jolie
Angelina didn’t really choose to change hair color. “My natural color is dark blonde,” she revealed to German magazine Das Neue. “But when I was 4 or 5, my mother dyed my hair dark brown, and she decided to keep it that way. And I stuck with that.”
Amy Adams
Amy found that, personality-wise, she’s just not a blonde. “When I dyed my hair true red for the first time, I felt as if it was what nature intended,” she told People. I have been accused of being a bit of a spitfire, so in that way I absolutely live up to the stereotype. The red hair suited my personality. I was a terrible blonde.”
Cynthia Nixon
Cynthia might be known as a ginger, but she does see some benefits to going back to her natural gold. “I like the red very much … but it’s a lot of work to maintain,” she told Marie Claire. “The recognition factor is so much higher when I’m a redhead, so when I’m a blonde I can pass under the radar a lot more easily.”
Winona Ryder
Winona might be famous for her dark locks, but she’s actually a blonde. Winona has been dyeing it ever since her first film, “Lucas,” in 1986.
Eva Green
Eva became famous after playing the secretive Vespers Lynd in “Casino Royale.” Turns out, she has a secret of her own. “I’m a dark blonde,” she told the UK paper Metro. “I dyed my hair blue then black when I was 14. I thought the color was more flattering and matched my skin tone. I don’t think I’d ever change back unless it was for a film.”
Christina Hendricks
“I’ve been red off and on since age 10, when I was obsessed with ‘Anne of Green Gables,’” she told People. “My mom said, ‘Let’s put a rinse on, and you can be Anne for a couple days.’ I was thrilled: It was carrot red. In high school I was a Goth girl, so I went from fire engine to purple to black. Recently two of my best friends started calling me Red. It’s funny because they’ve known me for years. I guess I’m convincing enough: With the red hair and some blush, it looks like I’ve been on the moors in Ireland.”
Do you prefer them with blonde hair or a darker color?
If you have seen The Pirates of the Caribbean 4 over the weekend then you will have most likely seen the first trailer for the upcoming The Muppets movie and as you can see above it’s not your typical trailer.
The trailer starts out with a fake trailer for a fake movie, Green With Envy, that is basically your typical rom-com stuff (they even created a fake poster which you can see below).
James Bobin is the director behind the movie while Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller wrote the script for it. Amy Adams, Chris Cooper and Segel all star in the movie along with a bunch of other cameos.
The Muppets is set for release on November 23rd, I for one will definitely be checking it out. Will you?
Three-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams has been cast as the new Lois Lane in the up-coming Superman reboot it’s been confirmed by director Zack Snyder. Here is what he tells the LA Times:
“There was a big, giant search for Lois, for us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it. It goes back to what I’ve said about Superman and making him really understandable for today. What’s important to us is making him relevant and real and making him empathetic to today’s audience so that we understand the decisions he makes. That applies to Lois as well. She has to be in the same universe as him [in tone and substance].”
I actually agree with him, I think she is perfect for the role because she is not only a good actress but she is also incredibly hot. Henry Cavill has already been cast to play Superman a long with Kevin Costner and Diane Lane who will both play Superman’s parent’s the Kents. This movie is shaping up to seem like it could be pretty good.
You know the way people say everybody has somebody that is completely identical to them out there? Well ONTD have come up with a list of 12 celebrities who apparently look like each other. Take a look for yourself and see if you see the resemblance.
Taylor Swift and Björk
Not only do these to stars have an uncanny resemblance but they are both grammy winning singers. The best of the best. If you don’t think they look alike then idk maybe squint a little bit and then you see their undeniable similarities.
Marilyn Monroe and Lindsay Lohan
Both these actresses embrace the essence of beauty and danger, timeless looks and the type of tragedy you find with fame. Both women who Hollywood should have more respect for and not take for granted IMO.
Lady Gaga and Lykke Li
I am pretty sure they are same person or twins. Both take a lot of black and white photos and both were born in 1986 and both celebrate their bdays this month. Think about it!!
Katie Holmes and Britney Spears
Both were such famous teen icons in the late 90s and both are still famous but have grown up and have kids. Who knows if Britney ever has a girl she may look exactly like Suri Cruise!!
Katy Perry and Adele
Both these number 1 selling females have very pretty faces and very pale skin and very big blue eyes and big boobs. But don’t think they are just talented for having a pretty face. They are both talented and deserve all the fame and recognition they have.
John Legend and Joseph Gordon-Levitt
One is a famous hipster and the other a famous music artist but they both look cute with a beard.
Tyra Banks and Rihanna
They both are very pretty even tho they have somewhat large foreheads and they both have such pretty eyes IMO!! Also just a reminder that Tyra is a singer too and has her own music videos and everything and she can dance so watch out Rihanna!!
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen and Kelly Clarkson
Kelly Clarkson might be Mary-Kate and Ashley’s long lost triplet, but they are definitely all living the American dream!!
Justin Timberlake and Ryan Phillippe
Hot!! I think everyone will all at least agree on this one. Their resemblance has been talked about for years.
Amy Adams and Emma Stone
Both leading ladies on screen and I’m sure will be competing against roles and Oscars throughout their career with both looking so alike and being so talented.
Beyonce and Jessica Alba
So beautiful. So bootylicious. Both are triple threat entertainers (singing, acting, dancing) and look great in gold dresses matching their golden locks.
Dakota Fanning and Amanda Seyfried
Last but not least we have 2 big blue-eyed blonds. They look like dolls :) They are both actresses so I hope that someday they play sisters or mother and daughter because they look so much alike it would be a shame not to use that in a family movie.
I’m going to say a big fat no to all of these except maybe Amanda Seyfriend-Dakota Fanning and Lady GaGa-Lykke Li. Everybody know’s that Katy Perry is like Zooey Deschanel and definitely not Adele.
The Huffington Post have come up with a list of the 10 most embarrassing projects that some of the nominees from the 2011 Oscars have been in. Take a look and see if you have seen any of them…
Christian Bale in ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin’
I bet you didn’t know Christian Bale was in ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin.’ Maybe that’s why he’s so angry all the time.
Michelle Williams on ‘Dawson’s Creek’
I get it, it’s where she got her start. But did anyone think Jen Lindley would end up becoming one of her generation’s most nuanced actors? Unfortunately we can’t say the same for James Van Der Beek.
Jeff Bridges in ‘Tron: Legacy’
It’s embarrassing enough that ‘True Grit’s Jeff Bridges was in the first ‘Tron’ 20 years ago, but he had to go and do it again?
Natalie Portman in ‘No Strings Attached’
If Natalie Portman loses the Best Actress Oscar, fingers will start pointing to this rom-com with Ashton Kutcher. There’s a reason why A.O. Scott calls her “the only Golden Globe-winning actress to simulate sex on screen with two former members of the cast of ‘That 70s Show.’”
James Franco on ‘General Hospital’
It’s really hard to fault James Franco for this since it’s all part of his larger performance art master plan.
Nicole Kidman in ‘Batman Forever’
It would have been fine if she played opposite Christian Bale’s Batman, but she got stuck with Val Kilmer.
Mark Ruffalo in ‘Rumor Has It…’
Before he was seducing Julianne Moore away from Annette Bening, Mark Ruffalo was playing opposite Jennifer Aniston in this movie that irresponsibly associates itself with The Graduate.
Amy Adams in ‘The Wedding Date’
In this movie that apparently came out in 2005, Amy Adams was billed under Debra Messing.
Javier Bardem in ‘Eat Pray Love’
Somehow I don’t think Javier Bardem’s immense acting skills landed him this role in Eat Pray Love.
Helena Bonham Carter in ‘Planet of the Apes’
When your husband is Tim Burton and you star in all of this movies, some of them are bound to be terrible.
