Flipping through May's newest glossies, I had a thought: Is red hair the new bang? I had just noticed Kate Moss in Vogue Paris looking punky in (temporary) red locks, and was flipping through Lara Stone's editorial "Wild!!!!" in Vogue China, where the gap-toothed one is also sporting a new red 'do. Days later, Blake Lively washed away her Cali blond in favor of rouge. Then the redhead floodgates really opened up. Have a look:

Maybe the most accurate physical manifestation of late-1990s to early-2000s MTV, Tom Green was like the Limp Bizkit of comedy -- he was immature, abrasive and teenage dudes loved him; girls tended to not be as into it. (He did it all for the nookie, even marrying Drew Barrymore for a few months.) He starred in movies that were horrible but hilarious (to teenagers) and often just horrible, he put his butt on things, stopped his MTV program while treating his testicular cancer, went to Japan and eventually started a web-only talk show, which is to say, he disappeared. It wasn't very noteworthy and he doesn't come up a lot these days. Except when Vanity Fair gives him a long Q&A feature, including an iPod top five, as if this were 1999.

The Screen Actors Guild awards were on last night. Did you watch? Did you burst out into unbridled fits of laughter whenever anyone referred to it as "the SAG awards"? Well that's probably because unlike the panel that short-listed Patricia Arquette for Medium or Charlie Sheen for Two and a Half Men, you aren't very cultured. Still, despite an abundance of tasteful victors, like Christoph Waltz, Mo'Nique, and Michael C. Hall, there were still a few wins that elicited facepalms and eyerolls. A round-up of the 2010 SAG awards' worst Bests, after the break.
