    Anne Hathaway – 21st Century Julia Roberts. This woman will be a superstar (if she isn’t already). Fabulous….

    … also, not the first time Anne Hathaway has chopped her hair for a role. Check out this image from 2009. The woman is gorgeous!

      I assumed that was a wig … doesn’t she change her hairstyle about 12 times in that movie?

    Cannot wait for this movie!! I have loved this musical since I was a kid. I will be there in the cinema singing away like the theatre nerd I am.

    Aside from Anne’s new hairdo ( which,by the way, i think is absolutely gorgeous),i find that whole subject quite interesting.Everywhere i go,i see girls with that weird ‘Hollywood style’ hair,high gloss locks cascading down their backs…i don’t really get it.
    Personally,i think it’s boring.And i find the fact that short hair on young women seems to be practically a taboo nothing short of bizarre.
    I’ve never had really long hair myself,but up until a year ago i had shoulder-length blond hair.Men looked at me sometimes.Then i shaved it all off.Men (and women,and children)gaped at me,no doubt thinking i’m some kind of a freak,or maybe just horribly ill.Then my hair grew again. Right now i have on my head what is apparently called a pixie cut.Men look at me sometimes.No doubt thinking to themselves ”… bloody dyke…”
    I honestly would like to hear other peoples views on this issue ( ok,it’s not really an ‘issue’,but still:)),especially males.
    I always tell myself a man who likes shorthaired girls is a little bit like a man who prefers to drive a Jaguar rather than a Holden Commodore…

      “I always tell myself a man who likes shorthaired girls is a little bit like a man who prefers to drive a Jaguar rather than a Holden Commodore…” I’m with you Anouk! :-) )
      I’ve had a short pixie cut (and got the typical ‘bloody dyke’ comment from a few men) but I loved it, even though I don’t have quite the features to really pull it off. If you have the face, like Anne H does, it’s one of the sexiest haircuts out there.
      Super short haircuts on women can be sexy and beautiful – think of Sharon Stone when she cut her hair super short several years ago. She looked hot! And then there’s Emma Watson with her pixie that did far more for her face than long hair. There are some discerning men who will agree with me but sadly the majority will probably bang on about short hair on women looking ugly and unfeminine.
      What these cavemen who only like long locks on women have to understand is that some women can’t grow their hair very long, or if they do it’s not in good shape. I’m one of those. I have very fine hair that looks like sh*te if I try to grow it much longer than a chin length bob (which is how it’s cut at the moment). Luckily I prefer my hair short anyway.
      Anouk, maybe those men who are looking at you are thinking “Man, she’s HOT!” :-) )

        I agree with everything you said Caroline.I think i’d look weird with long hair.Luckily my husband is a Jaguar lover,eh ;)
        I think the fact that i dye it white blond at the moment heightens the weirdness factor for some people,but like you,i like myself that way,and who cares about the rest,right?

      I really wonder what the purpose of your comment might be Cynthia…it seems a little bit pointless.

    If you have a beautiful face and lovely features like Anne a pixie haircut looks great. I wish I could pull it off!

      I agree! Super short hair make your facial features pop. If you have good ones you should chop chop chop all the way!

      Ah me too, I look RUBBISH with short hair, hence the long and rather boring locks I’ve had for years. Sometimes I’d love to be able to dry my hair in 5 mins flat and be out the door, lol!!
