Although I had a strong feeling that Ashton Jones was doomed to be sent home in American Idol’s Season 10 first audience based elimination, I was sad to see her hair leave the stage.  Making it into the bottom three along with Karen Rodriquez and Haley Reinhart, Jones got the audience influenced boot.

While I agreed Jones didn’t do Diana Ross’ “When You Tell Me That You Love Me” justice, I loved her big beautiful bouncy curls.  She was a diva-in-training and Jennifer Lopez obviously loved her attitude on stage.  Unfortunately gorgeous natural curls, a smokin hot body and a sassy attitude just doesn’t cut it on American Idol.  Especially this year with the stellar talent the three AI judges let through the gates to the Top 13.

It was a little surprising how many of the top 13 stumbled on Wednesday night.  Karen Rodriquez is clearly a favorite of Judge Lopez and Rienhart is known for her unusual range and vocal textures.  Both Rodriquez and Rienhart turned in lackluster performances.  Rienhart’s rendition of Selena’s “I Could Fall in Love” was especially disappointing.

Jones had the opportunity to sing for her life one more time near show’s end, but her thin, reedy vocals were not much better than the previous night.  Jones appeared determined to go off the show with a bang.   Jones broke down in tears, the judges deliberated, but it was a no-go.  Continue reading “Curly Girl Ashton Jones Takes Her Big Beautiful Ringlets Home From American Idol” »

Raven haired Tamara Taylor plays Dr. Camille Saroyan on Fox/TV’s Bones.   The Toronto native has had a long and successful career as an actress.   Just months after moving to Los Angeles from her native Toronto, she booked parts in both television and film.

Although Taylor usually wears her hair long and lush with soft waves and curls, she appeared to have a dramatic new haircut on the March 10th episode of Bones titled “The Blackout in the Blizzard.”

Unfortunately Taylor had a very small part in the Blackout episode.  When she appeared briefly on screen her hairstyle was a classic chin-length stick straight swingy bob with a side-swept fringe.

Tamara wore her hair pulled back from a center part and pinned up into a faux short hairstyle at the 2010 Fox All Star Party on August 2, 2010 at the Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, California.

I had a very hard time trying to figure out if Tamara had cut her hair into a medium length bob, was wearing a wig or had her hair pinned up.

It was disappointing Tamara had such little screen time in which to discover the true story on her new much shorter hairstyle.

If I had to guess I would say Tamara was wearing a sleek bob lace front wig.  It looked very chic.  However, it’s possible she actually cut her hair.  The only way to tell for sure is to see how Tamara wears her hair in future episodes of Bones.

I’ve mentioned in a previous post how much I loved Naima Adedapo’s unique fashion style and her amazing long hair locks which are perfectly elongated.

Naima continued to showcase her unique hair and fashion style on the Wednesday, March 9th episode of American Idol with her own rendition of Rihanna’s famous “Umbrella”.

Unfortunately while Naima turned her hair and fashion up a notch, her performance was a step in the wrong direction.  Unfortunately she was noticeably off-key and did an unusual set of dance moves.

Yes, she took a lot of risks with her hairstyle, her fashions and her high top laced up sneakers.  She even took a risk with her song and reggae inspired performance.

Tonight, Thursday, March 10, 2011 the results will be in and time will tell if Naima is booted off for her risky off-key singing.  If she lives another week it will be interesting to see if she tones down her look, her hair or selects a more appropriate song.   The judges were very kind about her performance but at the end of the day it’s the fans who have final say if Naima will get the hook.

Although I didn’t enjoy her singing, I hope she sticks around a little longer so I can eyeball her always interesting hairstyles.

The raven haired pop sensation has been setting off the world’s radar non-stop even before her album dropped.
