Pixie Cut for Emma

Emma Watson's Pixie Cut

Emma Watson posted a photo to her Facebook profile of her new haircut, and it's quite a drastic change! The actress and Burberry model totally chopped off her tresses in favor of a Twiggy, Jean Seberg, Mia Farrow-esque look. She wrote,
         "Dear all. Cut my hair off a few days ago... Feels incredible. I love it. I've wanted to do this for years    and years; it's the most liberating thing ever. Hope you like. Big love from Emma x."

Fan reactions remain to be seen.  Personally, I like it and after ten years of starring in the Harry Potter Series, Emma deserves to make her own choices.

Wesley Snipes Heading to Jail

Wesley Snipes will serve three years in jail after losing his appeal on his conviction of tax evasion.

Back in 2008, Snipes was found guilty of not filing tax returns from 1999 to 2001,dodging more than $15 million in taxes on income earned during the peak of his career. Snipes was sentenced to 36 months in prison -- but appealed the case claiming, among other things, that his sentence was "unreasonable." But today, the appeals court backed the original ruling -- shooting down Snipes' claims that his punishment was way too severe.


Like most celebrities that find themselves in sticky situations, Snipes is claiming that he fell victim to poor advice provided by his two co-defendants, Eddie Ray Kahn and Douglas Rosile. Of course, this claim was quickly overshadowed by Kenneth Starr, head of New York-based Starr and Co., who testified last Thursday that he tried to persuade Snipes to pay his taxes in a 90-minute telephone conversation in 2000.


 Snipes' case was not enough to sway the court. Even a letter from Denzel Washington to the District Court judge who upheld it could not save Snipes. "Wesley is like a mighty oak tree," Washington wrote, "Many who know him have witnessed the fruit of his labours. I have sat in his shade and even been protected by his presence."


No word on when Snipes will officially check in to the big house. It all seems so sad and so unnecessary.

Bristol Loves Levi???

"Teen mother Bristol Palin, the daughter of former U.S. vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, Levi Johnston, and their son Tripp are pictured on the cover of Us Weekly magazine released to Reuters on July 14, 2010. The 19-year-old Palin, whose previous engagement to Levi Johnston, 20, was called off after giving birth to their son in December, 2008, told Us Weekly they recently reconnected and got engaged two weeks ago."

Us Magazine release

If you don't know or don't remember Bristol and Levi's rocky story, here a quick recap from the Buzz Log.

"At the 2008 Republican National Convention, they were in love. Then they weren't. Now they're back in each other's arms. Bristol Palin, daughter of ex-governor of Alaska Sarah Palin, announced that she and Levi Johnston, father of her baby, were engaged. The news sparked no small number of searches. Immediately, Web lookups on "bristol palin engaged," "bristol and levi engaged," and "bristol palin pictures" posted triple-digit gains. There was also a healthy dose of cynicism on the Web. Following the announcement, speculation ran wild that a reality show starring the two lovebirds was forthcoming. Also of interest: The revelation that Sarah didn't hear about the engagement until she read about it in the papers. If that's not reality TV gold, we don't know what is. "

The Buzz Log

Now, why do I get the feeling that there's some money involved?  Could it be that the Palin family and Levi hae shown themselves to be driven by the almighty dollar?  Time will tell.  This chapter is just beginning.
