KERRY WASHINGTON HAS GOT WHAT IT TAKES

It’s instantly apparent why designers want Kerry Washington to wear and show off their clothes. Unlike Eddie Redmayne, she makes everything look good- including this Ralph Lauren t-shirt creation. And she paired it with her radical new haircut – that not all women could get away with. Kerry is no dummy – the graduated with Phi Beta Kappa honors from George Washington University. She’s here promoting her new Netflix film for tweens and teens- The School For Good and Evil. Reviews are not excellent – Hollywood Reporter calls it a “fantasy misfire” – but can you blame her for wanting to please her kids?

BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN: OFF WITH THE BASEBALL CAP!

We also have GUYS enhancing their looks and promoting their beauty- treatment doctors. Brian Austin Green, 49, had no qualms about revealing that he’s getting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections from Dr Gabriel Chiu to stimulate his hair growth. (Has no one told Jada Pinkett-Smith about this?) The procedure is already used to help heal sports injuries and on the face where it’s called the “vampire facial.” Brian and his DWTS girlfriend Sharna Burgess recently had a baby boy – he’s put Megan Fox in the rear view mirror…

BILLIE EILISH: IF LOOKS COULD KILL

Billie Eilish looks like she’d rather be ANYWHERE than posing for the paparazzi at an environmental awards show this weekend. She’s capable of giving some hard-core glances. Actually she attended the event with her mother and seemed to have a good time. Notice she has dyed her hair black again – this happened after she split with her last boyfriend, actor Matthew Tyler Vorce. She was blonde during the year-long relationship, and she kept it as undercover as she possibly could. After they split, Matthew was bombarded by online flak from her fans…

JANET JACKSON ALWAYS HAS A FRONT ROW SEAT

Janet Jackson had an interesting companion for the Louis Vuitton show in Paris. She and shoe designer Christian Louboutin have actually been to several red carpet events together in the past year. It does NOT look like she’s wearing his boots, however. Janet is wearing a Vuitton silver sequin puffy jacket that isn’t doing her any favors. But again it’s her hair that we take issue with. She deserves better than those two large heavy ponytails. And her makeup is way too vivid for daytime. We know how good she CAN look. When Janet and Christian went inside, SHE sat in the front row and he went to the back.

JANET JACKSON IS ENJOYING HER NEWFOUND HEIGHT

Designer Thom Browne (who happens to be one of our unaffordable favorites) is famous for putting men in skirts and women in preppie neckties and he’s attracted all kinds of celebrities – including Janet Jackson. She wore Thom Browne to the Billboard awards and decorated the front row at his Paris show in an immaculately tailored layered outfit with one short sleeve and one long. Note the outrageously high platform heels – 7 or 8 inches- and the oversize “handbag” as big as a suitcase. The only drawback to Janet’s look is the piled high hair- makes her look like a stern matron in a 1960’s orphanage…

JOEY KING : HAIRDO OR HAIR DON’T?

It’s not often that you see something you have NEVER SEEN BEFORE, so we were quite fascinated by Joey King’s hairstyle. She’s busy promoting Bullet Train with her costar Brad Pitt in London and this was her look last night for the premier. We kind of like the dark fingerwaves up front – Zendaya has been sporting those also, and she looks adorable. But the brown mullet in the back is puzzling. Can anyone out there explain this look? (Did Joey run out of the hair salon before she was finished?)

ZAYN MALIK: LETTING HIMSELF GO?

We happen to think Zayn Malik was drop-dead gorgeous when he was in One Direction– but since he unceremoniously quit, he hasn’t seen any of his former band members – or his barber either! He’s been living as a recluse on that Pennsylvania farm with his almost two year old daughter Khai since he and Gigi Hadid split in Oct 2021. Zayn and Gigi share custody. We used to see Gigi pushing Khai in her stroller around NYC, but she’s been invisible since the split. The parents must have a “no publicity for the baby” agreement so Khai is a recluse like her dad. Meanwhile, Zayn has been growing out his hair (from a shaved head) and he wears it in the style of a surfer (or a homeless person, depending on who’s looking) and now he’s selling sweatshirts and t-shirts to fans with his “art” on them called Paynt by Zayn. You can buy the hoody he’s wearing for $70.

HALLE BERRY’S NEW HAIRCUT IS A WINNER

All of a sudden Halle Berry is in Hyde Park in London filming Our man From Jersey with Mark Wahlberg. The film is described as a big budget action thriller for Netflix. Apparently Mark came up with the story and had it written for himself. That makes us wonder if Halle has a very significant role. Netflix happens to be very fond of both Mark and Halle. The plot is a big secret but it’s described vaguely as a “blue collar James Bond.” Halle’s hair looks pretty terrific so surely she’ll steal some scenes from Mark…

ROB KARDASHIAN HASN’T TAKEN THAT BASEBALL CAP OFF SINCE 2013

Strange but true. Try to find a photo of Rob Kardashian without the cap for the past nine years. It’s sad, but this Kardashian guy has been “hiding out” since then. Back in 2012 he had a short but memorable romance with Rita Ora and she broke his heart. That’s when he started eating too much. In 2016, he started dating Blac Chyna- at one point she claimed Rob spend $100,000 on weight loss surgery that seemed to be working, but then didn’t. Meanwhile the hat never came off- apparently his hair was thinning. He might be getting hair transplants of some kind, but he just NEVER removes the cap. Maybe that’s why he hasn’t shown up in court this week…he would be asked to remove it.

PINK HAIR WORKS FOR MACHINE GUN KELLY

His hair is obviously important to Machine Gun Kelly so we hope he avoids catching Covid and losing some of it. He revealed his new look – pink hair -at a performance with Avril Lavigne at The Roxy this week and some of his fans were not thrilled. One fan griped “You aren’t Machine Gun Kelly any more!” Kelly HAS been wearing a lot more pink and even performed with a pink guitar. Some fans don’t like the fact that he seems to have gone from rapper to punk rocker since he took up with Megan Fox. We’re not sure where the manicures and pinky rings fit in…
