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?
Over the years there has been some absolutely ridiculous excuses from celebrities when they try to get out of trouble with the law, here is a list of the top 10 worst excuses:
10. Nicole Richie’s Menstrual Cramps
Back in 2006, Richie was arrested after being pulled over for driving on the wrong side of the road. She was issued a DUI charge and confessed to smoking weed and using Vicodin beforehand. When questioned about the Vicodin, Richie claimed she only took it because of her bout with bad menstrual cramps. Um, TMI.
9. Lindsay Lohan’s Stolen Passport
After missing her DUI process hearing because she was partying it up in Cannes, Lindsay claimed her dear passport got stolen while she was lounging on luxurious French yachts. The judge didn’t buy it and issued a bench warrant for her arrest and set bail at $100,000. She got a new passport and posted bail, but it made for a typical LiLo moment.
8. Britney’s Blames Bad Parenting on Louisiana
Normal people everywhere freaked when they saw the photo of Britney driving with her 4-month-old baby, Sean Preston, on her lap back in 2006. Charges weren’t pressed because the lack of evidence as to where it happened, but Brit blamed the paparrazzi and the fact that she’s Southern. She told Matt Lauer, “I did it with my dad. I’d sit on his lap and I drive. We’re country.” Like we couldn’t tell by your trashy trucker hats and run-down cowboy boots.
7. Whitney’s Too Rich for Crack
In 2002, Whitney Houston gave an infamous interview with Diane Sawyer about her album, “Just Whitney,” which turned into long-winded questioning about her alleged drug abuse. In response to the claims, she said, “First of all, let’s get one thing straight. Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack. Let’s get that straight. Okay? We don’t do crack. We don’t do that. Crack is wack.” Quite a cute poem if you ask me.
6. Jeffrey Donovan Blames the Benadryl
Burn Notice star Jeffrey Donovan was pulled over last summer in Miami on suspicion of drunk driving. The 41-year-old actor told police that he only had three drinks at the Fontainebleau Hotel. He then failed a sobriety test and claimed, “The only mistake I made tonight was drinking Benadryl with 3 glasses of wine.” Bloodshot eyes don’t lie, Jeff.
5. Paris Hilton’s Chewing Gum
Probably the most recent celebrity excuse given was that of Paris Hilton who claimed to have thought that the cocaine she was carrying was merely gum. Cops pulled over the car of her boyfriend Cy Waits after smelling marijuana. While getting questioned, she asked to put on some lip balm (paps were filming after all) and the baggy fell from her purse. Las Vegas prosecuters didn’t believe she was that naive (surprise!) and charged her with a felony drug possession. She later pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to probation, community service, fines and a court-ordered drug abuse program.
4. Tom Sizemore’s Package Problems
Actor Tom Sizemore was caught using a prosthetic penis called “The Whizzinator” to pass a random drug test given by his court-ordered drug rehab councelor at the Tarzana Treatment Center in 2007. He actually seemed to get away with it until they asked for him to take another test because the urine didn’t seem warm enough. He then pulled the device from the trash can and confessed to using crystal meth. I couldn’t make this stuff up.
3. Eddie Murphy’s Philanthropic Prostitute Ways
Eddie Murphy claims he was just being a good Samaritan in 1997 when cops pulled him over and found a male transvestite prostitute in his car. Murphy claimed he was giving the poor 20-year-old a much-needed ride home, something small compared to the thousands of dollars he hands out to other hookers. “When I’m doing something charitable, I’m not doing it for publicity,” he said. “When I do something, it’s out of the goodness of my heart.” Um…or another part of his body.
2. Winona’s Klepto Research
Winona Ryder was arrested in December 2001 for shoplifting over $5,500 worth of designer clothes and accessories from a Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hills. She claimed it was a “misunderstanding” and that she was just researching for an upcoming role. Of course, nobody bought that story and she was convicted of felony grand theft and vandalism (later reduced to midemeanors). She was also sentenced to three years probation as well as fines and restitution, comunity service and a counceling program. All because she didn’t want to dip into her million-dollar savings account.
1. Larry Craig’s Wide Stance
The former republican politician was arrested outside a men’s restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in June 2007 on suspicion of lewd conduct. An undercover police officer said Craig was trying to solicit sexual activity by making signals under the stall. Craig claimed he just has a naturally “wide stance” and was trying to pick off paper from the floor. Um, what? Ew. That’s almost worse. He later pleaded guilty to a disorderly conduct charge and unsurprisngly resigned from his Senate post.
Pretty good list but I would have included Jeremy Piven and his mercury poisoning excuse to the list.

Hollywood gossip is something that has become so pervasive in our culture that we tend to take it all for granted. Whether we tend to listen to it all or shun it like the plague, we end up hearing more than our fair share, and stowing it away in memory without even realizing it.
Sometimes, the really good gossip slips through the mainstream and get slowly forgotten by the few people that ever knew about it to begin with. These are some of those bits of information; these are ten of Hollywood’s worst kept secrets.
1. Tim Allen served time
In 1978, Tim “the Toolman” Taylor was caught at an airport trying to smuggle 1.4 pounds of cocaine in his luggage. He was busted after plea bargaining his way out of the life sentence to a few years. He gave up the dealers and got out on parole.
2. Sylvester Stallone starred in a porn flick
The trailer for “Italian Stallion” was made in 1970, which was a full six years before Sly Stallone would be more well known as Rocky Balboa. The movie was originally titled as “The Party at Kitty and Stud’s”, but was renamed after he became a huge box office success as the famed boxer. As for why he did it? He was starving and needed the money.
3. Jack Nicholson’s sister was really his mother
Jack Nicholson was born in 1936 to a showgirl, but his mother wasn’t known to him as that for the longest time. His grandmother raised him as her own and his real mother was allowed to continue her work. A journalist from “Time” magazine broke the news in an interview in 1974, but by that time, they had both passed away.
4. Eric Stoltz was the original Marty McFly
Eric Stoltz had some pretty decent movie hits in the eighties, but the part he landed would surprise all of us. Apparently the actor filmed part of the “Back To The Future” movies as the character we’ve all come to know and love – Marty McFly. The part went to Michael J. Fox after Stoltz got the axe from the movie.
5. Don King killed two men, did time
Don King gets a lot of press for being, well, Don King. He’s got the support of some heavy-hitters (pun intended), but he’s also come to be known as something of a bastard by those who know him best. One of the little stories that tends to get forgotten involves two incidents in King’s past: he shot one guy in the back as he was trying to rob one of his gambling houses back in 1953, and then stomped another guy to death because he owed him $600. Nice guy, eh?
6. Winona Ryder is a natural blond
You gotta love Winona. She’s the bad girl who’s not the bad girl; she’s cute, bubbly, dark, light, shoplifts with the best (and worst) of ‘em and rolls with the punches. She played roles in some of the best movies of our time, including Edward Scissorhands and BeatleJuice. What most of us never stop to think about, given the fact that she’s nearly always appeared as a brunette (and a good one at that), is that Winona is actually a blonde. For those who never had an inkling, watching Edward Scissorhands again with this knowledge is like flipping the world upside-down.
7. Nicole Richie’s real dad was a member of Lionel’s band
Nicole Ritchie being Lionel Ritchie’s kid was always one of those things you just tend to forget about. The names match up, but little else does, and we sort of just make it work in our heads. Most people never stop to question it, and when they do, they find ways to justify it in their heads that they’re father/daughter instead of checking to be sure. Fact is, Nicole is Lionel’s adopted daughter; her mother was a bit of a deadbeat who worked wardrobe for Prince, and her biological father was actually a former percussionist in Lionel’s own band.
8. Janet Jackson was secretly married for eight years
People elope all the time; it’s much more common than most of us realize. When an individual as famous as Janet Jackson does it, and manages to keep it a secret for eight years; well that’s an accomplishment. Apparently she had to keep her marriage a complete secret because she wanted to keep it from her father, who we all know is not the greatest guy on earth. She and her husband, Rene Elizondo, had to act like “close friends†the entire time. It was his hands in the photo shoot above. In 2000, Rene had officially had enough of the secret life, and since Janet wouldn’t budge, he filed for divorce. It got pretty ugly after that point, and since he was suing her for millions, we’re pretty sure her father found out anyway.
9. Charlize Theron watched her mother kill her father
Charlize Theron is South African by birth, and lived there her entire young life. She led a somewhat normal life into her pre-teens, but then things changed a bit. Her father was an abusive alcoholic, and her mother was the chief punching bag around the house. When Charlize was 15, her father came home especially drunk one night. A scuffle broke out and she witnessed her mother pull a gun and shoot her dad dead. At least this makes it a bit easier to understand how she can play such messed up roles so well — and if the picture of her from Monster scared you a bit, here’s a nicer one to reset the memory.
10. Mark Wahlberg is living on borrowed time
It’s pretty common knowledge that Mark Wahlberg is either blessed or just among the luckiest guys on earth by natural circumstances. Either way you cut it, the guy has made out pretty well time after time, despite beginning his public life as Marky Mark (an unforgivable sin). What most people don’t know is that the morning of September 11, 2001, Wahlberg was a ticket-holding passenger on one of the planes that struck the World Trade Center. He, on the other hand, was miles away attending a film festival in Toronto. He was invited at the very last minute by some friends who happened to be there, and he missed his flight. Lucky is an understatement for this guy.
These are all surprising to me except for the one about Eric Stoltz, I thought that one was common knowledge.
You may expect Johnny Depp to be busy promoting his foray into ‘Wonderland,’ but the A-list actor has a bigger cause to champion: justice. Depp will appear on CBS’s ’48 Hours Mystery’ on Saturday to advocate the release of the “West Memphis Three,” young men convicted in 1994 of murdering three boys during a satanic ritual.
Depp is not alone in his belief that the men were convicted on flimsy or fabricated evidence. He joins stars like Eddie Vedder, Winona Ryder, the Dixie Chicks and Disney teen star Demi Lovato in insisting the men were actually found guilty for their fascination with heavy-metal music, Stephen King and the occult.
“I firmly believe Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley are totally innocent. It was a need for swift justice to placate the community. Damien Echols is on death row to be killed by lethal injection.”
The appearance of the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ star shocked CBS staffers, who told the NY Post: “Johnny Depp on ’48 Hours’ — are you joking?”
The segment will highlight DNA and forensic evidence that many hope will finally clear Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley of the crimes. The show also suggests that juror misconduct contributed to the guilty verdict, the NY Post reports.
The West Memphis Three were tried and convicted of the murders of three eight-year-old boys in the Robin Hood Hills area of West Memphis, Arkansas in 1993. Claims that police bungled the gathering of evidence, compromised the crime scene, ignored possible suspects and misplaced DNA samples are behind the controversy that has spanned nearly two decades.
Damien Echols was sentenced to death. Jessie Misskelley, Jr., was sentenced to life in prison plus 40 years and Jason Baldwin was sentenced to life imprisonment. All three were teenagers at the time of their arrests. Two documentaries aired on HBO, ‘Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills’ and ‘Paradise Lost 2: Revelations’, explored evidence suggesting that the three men were wrongly convicted.
Depp’s appearance is not the first star-powered effort to free the trio. In 2002, Henry Rollins produced the album ‘Rise Above: 24 Black Flag Songs to Benefit the West Memphis Three,’ a collection of cover songs originally performed by Rollins’ band Black Flag. Rollins donated profits from the record and the supporting tour to the suspects’ defense funds.
In 2003, Winona Ryder hosted a benefit exhibition at a Los Angeles art gallery, featuring artwork by Raymond Pettibon, Shepard Fairey and Marilyn Manson. Though Ryder herself was convicted of grand theft and vandalism in a 2002 trial, she was unconcerned with the public’s reaction to her support.
“I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of jokes,” Ryder told USA TODAY at the time. “To me, [my case] has nothing to do with the other. It is incomparable. I am not in prison. I am not on death row. I did not in any way experience what these guys have experienced. They are in my hearts every day, and I will never give up until they’re out.”
During the gallery opening ceremony, Ryder announced her belief that the verdicts of the West Memphis Three were based on “rumors, prejudices and superstitions,” and called for DNA testing and new trials.
Last month, ‘Sonny With a Chance’ star Lovato tweeted her support of the ongoing cause. She wrote, “Can everyone just take a second to read this please. www.wm3.org A truly worthwhile cause. Show your support!!!”
Minutes later, she added, “FREE THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE!!!”
Depp’s appearance on ’48 Hours Mystery’ airs Saturday, Feb. 27 at 10 p.m.
The Informers had its premiere during the Sundance Film Festival last night and these nude screencaps of Amber Heard have already made it to the internet (see after the jump below for the NSFW pictures).
Now I have no idea what is going on in the screencaps nor do I give a damn and neither should you because it is Amber Heard naked.
The Informers doesn’t sound good to me, its based on the 1995 book and is a couple of short stories captures a week in L.A. in 1983, featuring movie executives, rock stars, a vampire and other morally challenged characters in adventures laced with sex, drugs and violence.
The movie, which also stars the likes of Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, Mickey Rourke, Winona Ryder and Brad Renfro‘s final performance, has been getting really really crappy reviews after its was shown to audiences last night.
My favorite review says stuff like “I just came out of it; everyone I’ve spoken to about it looks pained and deflated — like they’ve got the flu,” and “It may be the worst Sundance movie I’ve ever seen — it’s certainly one of the biggest stinkers ever to show here.”

Oh well, Amber Heard has other movies coming out so she probably won’t have to worry much and if that fails, at least she is hot right?
A hugely expensive bracelet on loan to Winona Ryder has gone missing in Spain, but it’s Winona who feels like the victim.
Here’s the lowdown. Winona was in Madrid Sunday for a Marie Claire event. Marie Claire had given Winona a Bulgari bracelet and a ring to wear, worth $125,000. She also got a dress, shoes and some other stuff to wear to the shindig.
After Winona left Madrid, the bracelet and ring turned up missing.
There’s a report in a French magazine saying Winona claimed she went to the front desk at the hotel and gave the jewelry to the front desk, but the surveillance cam doesn’t show her doing that. The intimation — Winona stole the bling.
In fact, we know what happened. The morning after the event, at around 6:00 AM, Winona checked out of the hotel. No one from Marie Claire was around to collect the stuff, so she left everything in her hotel room.
Our sources confirm the bracelet and ring did indeed turn up missing — the dress and other stuff weren’t taken. We’re told Winona never said she had taken the jewels to the front desk, and whoever planted the story may be covering up for someone who had access to the room after she left.
So far, Winona has not been contacted by the police.
Did Winona Ryder honestly think that by leaving jewelry worth thousands of dollars, laying on a hotel bed after checking out, the maid wouldn’t steal them? What a dumb biotch!
This picture of the actress in a wide-brimmed, cloche-type hat and sunglasses was taken just hours before she fell ill and sparked a mini mid-air emergency yesterday.
The 37-year-old Girl, Interrupted star was rushed to hospital on arrival at Heathrow and an accidental overdose of tranquillizers was today believed to be the reason.
She was taken to Hillingdon hospital, in West London, soon after arriving in England just after noon.
The waif-like American, who made her name in Edward Scissorhands starring Johnny Depp with whom she also had a relationship, is known to hate flying.
And she is thought to have collapsed twice on Flight 282 after taking too many Xantax pills, which are used to combat anxiety.
Although her publicist refused to confirm the nature of the star’s illness last night, she said her client was discharged an hour later ‘in good health’.
Mara Buxbaum said: ‘She did fall ill on a plane and as a precautionary measure they took her to hospital.
‘She was there for an hour. She’s in good health. There’s no drama.’
I feel that their spokespeople should be held accountable, always ignoring potential drug issues — pretending the problem doesn’t exist.
10. Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling
You didn’t think we’d write a list of our favorite movie couples without mentioning these two, did you? Tender, passionate, and deeply romantic, McAdams and Gosling in “The Notebook†simultaneously break our hearts and give us reason to believe in love. We’d be thrilled to see them together again on-screen and in real life.
9. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal
Sadly, we know this is a coupling we won’t ever get to see again, but since this is a fantasy list after all, we couldn’t pass up the chance to gush about these two together. Watching Heath and Jake roll around in the hay in “Brokeback Mountain†proved to us that guy-on-guy action? So effing hot.
8. Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon
They weren’t a romantic couple, but in “Thelma and Louise,†the mother of all chick flicks, Davis and Sarandon reignited Girl Power and proved that sometimes the deepest love is platonic in nature.
7. Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes
On their own — or with other people — neither of these two thespians are the most likable on our list, but together, as they were in the 1996 remake of “Romeo and Juliet,†they’re totally captivating. Gone are all signs of the pretensiousness we’ve come to expect from Danes in her more recent movies, and DiCaprio’s over-acting is diluted to tolerable measure with his co-star’s sweet subtlety.
6. Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman
Sure, they played a couple in the middle of a divorce and nasty custody battle in the 1979 film, “Kramer vs. Kramer,†but the tenderness between them — not to mention the amazing Academy Award-winning acting — is something we need more of today. Plus, they’ve both had such impressive careers in the nearly 30 years since, we think there’s a great chance to catch lightning in a jar again if these two were to ever reunite on-screen.
5. Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray
Le sigh! Has there been a more bittersweet love story in recent cinematic history than between these two in “Lost in Translation� While we love Bill Murray is nearly anything in which he appears, Scarlett Johansson’s luster just isn’t as shiny without him by her side. Together, they have a chemistry that is more kindred spirit than hot passion, a connection we yearn to see more of in this day of gratuitous sex overload.
4. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
So iconic as a couple, they don’t even need last names, but as Mr. and Mrs. Smith in the 2005 movie of the same name, the sexiest couple alive proved to viewers exactly why they belong together. The chemistry between them is palpable, and watching them together, most of us don’t know whom to envy more — her for getting to kiss him, or him for kissing her.
3. Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne
They steamed things up together in the 1993 Tina Turner biography, “What’s Love Got to Do with It?â€, earning Bassett an Academy Award and a Golden Globe, and Fishburne his first Oscar nomination. Fishburne has stated about Bassett: “An electrifying thing happens when the two of us work together. I haven’t experienced it with anyone else.†We experience it, too, Laurence. And we want more.
2. Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp
Surely there’s enough water under the bridge for these two, who broke their engagement in the early ’90s, to reunite on the big screen again. They were perfectly sweet and enchanting together in the 1990 movie “Edward Scissorhands†and the sight of those big, soulful eyes they both share is enough to elicit a deep sigh from even the most stoic.
1. Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey
Forget Kate and Leo; we want to see Kate and Jim together again. “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind†is one of the few movies we’ve seen Jim Carrey in that hasn’t made us want to claw our eyes out. In fact, Carrey was downright charming, something we’re pretty sure he needs Winslet to pull off. So, what are they waiting for?
It looks like Winona Ryder may be up to her old tricks again. According to the National Enquirer, Ryder was recently stopped outside of a CVS Pharmacy when she set off the alarm while walking out of the store.
The store has officially confirmed the report saying,
“Winona had a bag of stuff, but she set off the theft alarm when she left the store.
When a security guard stopped her, he found make-up she had not paid for.
We took unpaid items back and she left the store.”
When asked about the makeup, Ryder claimed,
“I don’t know how that happened.”
The store decided not to press charges or cause a big scene and let the actress go without incident.
Ryder’s publicist first denied that the incident happened, but after being told that a store employee confirmed it, she said she needed to check with her client again.
The actress was busted back in 2002 for shoplifting $5,000 worth of clothing from a Beverly Hills store. She claimed she was getting into character for an upcoming role. She was sentenced to 480 hours of community service.
I guess old habits die hard. Or maybe she is just preparing for another role.

The 25-year-old actor was found dead at his Los Angeles home this morning. The cause of death has not been determined, however, Renfro had a history of drug abuse.
Sources tell us Renfro, who had starring roles in “The Client” and “Apt Pupil” had been working valiantly to stay clean, especially since this summer. Renfro had been convicted of several drug offenses, including attempted heroin possession.
Renfro had been filming a movie with Winona Ryder and Billy Bob Thornton. The movie, “The Informers,” just wrapped.
Renfro has had a rough time personally since moving from Tennessee to Los Angeles. His parents split, and we’re told he did not have real guidance from adults as he tried navigating the treacherous movie industry.
Brad Renfro Biography:
Renfro was ten when he was discovered by Mali Finn, a casting director for Joel Schumacher, director of The Client. He played the title role in the film, adapted from a best-selling John Grisham novel, opposite Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones. The suspense/drama was one of the top-grossing films of 1994. Renfro went on to act in other films including 2001′s Ghost World and Bully and 2005′s The Jacket with Keira Knightley and Adrien Brody. He also played Huck Finn in Tom and Huck with Jonathan Taylor Thomas. In 1995, he won Hollywood Reporter’s “Young Star” award and was nominated as one of People magazine’s “Top 30 Under 30″. Renfro also appeared in “Watch”, an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
Recently he completed filming his role in the upcoming film The Informers.
