Rewind the time machine to the time of beautiful blonde Jessica Simpson before her reality stardom on The Newlyweds, before she squeezed into those famous sexy Daisy Dukes and before she hit the road some months ago to work on her latest Reality TV venture.

By her side was Hollywood Mane Man Ken Paves who first met “his girl” Jess, as he affectionally calls her, during a bi-coastal hair emergency.  Receiving a call from her then-agents in New York, Ken was asked to catch a red eye to sew her hair back together after a horrible hair incident.

Ken spent the flight from LA to NYC hand sewing hair pieces together for the star he had not even yet met.  Once they did, it was Kismet.  They not only became instant BFFs, they eventually became business partners launching the wildly successful HairDo™ line under the HairUWear brands.

Through the years since that first meeting Ken has coiffed Jessica’s hair into an dizzying array of eye-popping, spectacular hairstyles in a wide range of hues (remember Jess in sultry red?), lengths and textures.  His work with Jessica’s tresses inspired Ken to ultimately partner with his famous client to design and create the latest HairDo™, Jessica Simpson wig and clip-on fringes since he would instantly transform Jess with all of those various hair accessories.

Sharon Osbourne is on fire with her Red Radiant Pixie Chick hairstyle.  Sharon combines a precision cut pixie with a beautiful side-swept fringe flowing from a barely there tiny side part and gorgeous highlights and lowlights.

The popular judge on NBC’s top-rated “America’s Got Talent” sizzles with hair hues built upon a rich Bardeaux base swirled throughout with rich maroon, cinnamon and deep cherry highlights.

Sharon Osbourne has always rocked amazing hairstyles and has a spectacular long-time hairdresser who makes sure the multi-talented performer always rocks award winning hair looks.

My good friend, celebrity hairdresser Robert Hallowell had the good fortune to meet Sharon in person and confided to me that her hair is even more gorgeous in person than it is viewed through TV filters.  I can only imagine since I always love Sharon’s hair panache and sassy styles. (more…)

After hearing a lot of buzz about Soapnet’s new reality TV show, The Southern Belles of Louisville I made the committment to get caught up on all the episodes.

Luckily SoapNet had a Red, White and Blue marathon over the July 4th weekend.  If you haven’t watched Southern Belles:  Louisville but love reality shows like the various Bravo Housewife shows, you will probably love Southern Belles.  Some reviewers have likened Southern Belles to a reality version of Sex And The City.

I’m not sure if I agree with the comparison but there are some hints of SATC in Southern Belles.

Trying to figure which Belle is Carrie versus Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte is still percolating in my brain.  Not to mention the fact there are five Belles verus four girls from SATC. (more…)

The Oxygen Network originally planned for their latest reality TV show, “Addicted to Beauty,” to chronicle the daily happenings of a trendy California medical spa along with the lives of its married co-owners, a socialite (Dianne York-Goldman) and her doctor husband.

Oxygen gave the nod for the reality show and the cameras started to roll. Unfortunately, the show hit a big snag right at the beginning.

Oxygen general manager Jason Klarman reported “Before we even got into production, they (the couple) got divorced.”

Which is one of the problems of reality TV shows, as recently witnessed on TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus Eight. Although unexpected, the divorce didn’t sink “Beauty”. (more…)
