ELIZABETH TAYLOR SHARED HER GOOD FORTUNE WITH HER FRIENDS

Elizabeth Taylor did not forget her longtime friends when she passed away in March at the age of 79. Her close friend and hairdresser Jose Eber was in the process of trying to move his Beverly Hills salon to a better location in the year before she died. Jose desperately wanted the space that Christie’s auction house was vacating on Camden Drive in Beverly Hills. It was a choice piece of real estate with many parties interested, but because Liz had arranged for Christie’s to auction off her estate, she made sure that Jose got the desirable space. He decorated the posh new salon in her favorite colors of lavender and purple in a final tribute to Elizabeth. PLUS, we hear Elizabeth left Jose her Maybach automobile, worth over half a million dollars!

KRIS JENNER’S HAIR GIVES QVC A HEADACHE

Kris Jenner recently started selling her fashion collection on QVC and she’s already earned a reputation as a diva. Among other things, she simply CANNOT allow the QVC staffers to blow dry her hair for the show. Despite the fact that the hair and makeup people have served many celebrity guests before Kris, she won’t let anyone touch her hair except her private hairdresser Alex Rodan. QVC has to pay Alex $1500 a day to travel with Kris.

LINDSAY LOHAN: BEING BLONDE IS HARD WORK

Lindsay Lohan claims she can’t afford to see a psychiatrist but she spends a fortune on her hair. When she bleached her hair platinum blonde she had to get a whole new set of extensions to match, and it looks like she’s lost control of them. Her damaged hair is matted and the extension connections are clearly visible. She’s been to the salon twice this week trying to tame her frazzled hair. It’s not easy having hair that color.

Don Johnson is reportedly in shock – and so are we. His NBC dramedy “Mann’s World” was NOT picked up by the network! It seemed like a slam-dunk. The show was about a flirtatious hairdresser in his 50’s struggling to compete in youth –oriented Beverly Hills. Don’s character was loosely based on Warren Beatty’s hairdresser in “Shampoo.” The show was created by “Sex & the City” creator Michael Patrick King. NBC executives just weren’t impressed with the pilot and passed on the show. (Above, Don and his wife Kelley are pictured leaving a Prince concert.)
