Soap Dish: Vanessa Marcil Giovinazzo Talent Wasted By General Hospital
It is Soap Dish time, a day late I know but better late then never and this week I am chatting about how the powers that be at General Hospital totally wasted the talent of Vanessa Marcil Giovinazzo. This week Brenda said good-bye to Port Charles, which ended the year long run of Vanessa in the role she originated all those years ago. Before I go off on my little tirade about this past year I want to say that my thoughts have absolutely nothing to do with how amazing and talented Marcil Giovinazzo is, I am a huge fan and that has not changed. However I must express how extremely disappointed I am in General Hospital?s use of Vanessa and what they did to the character of Brenda. The past year was nothing but Brenda whining about well everything she already knew, that she loved Sonny but his life was dangerous blah blah blah. A character that has been one of my faves since she came on the scene was completely ruined in my eyes but beyond that Vanessa was giving a lame storyline that did not showcase her amazing acting abilities at all. I feel like all she [...]
Kristen Stewart Shares the First Images of Her Snow White Character at Comic-Con
Kristen Stewart was back at Comic-Con in San Diego today sitting on her second discussion panel of the week. On Thursday she joined Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, and the Breaking Dawn Part I cast to share new details about the highly anticipated wedding and honeymoon scenes, as well as what it was like giving birth to a vampire baby. Today, however, Kristen was excited to talk about a new project, Snow White and the Huntsman. She was joined by costars Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, and director Rupert Sanders, who surprised the crowd by debuting the first images of Kristen and the rest of the cast in their Snow White and the Huntsman costumes. Kristen, who plays Snow White, wields a shield and full suit of armor in the promotional photos opposite Charlize, who poses as the Wicked Queen in a dark and haunting portrait. Chris is back in full battle gear for his role as the Huntsman, though this time he's been given an ax as protection instead of the mighty hammer he carried in Thor. During today's panel Charlize jokingly challenged Kristen to a fight, saying, "I'm ready for it, b*tch, let's go." Kristen in turn said she's eager to work with "really cool weapons" in addition to doing "sword stuff."

While Willow Smith is the one who made music headlines with "Whip My Hair" last year, it's her brother, "Karate Kid" actor Jaden Smith, who will take the stage at the upcoming 53rd Grammy Awards in a special performance alongside Usher and Justin Bieber, with whom he collaborated on the song "Never Say Never" last summer.
The trio joins a list of new performers added to the show on Thursday (January 20) that will also include another power trifecta made up of B.o.B, Bruno Mars and Janelle Monáe, according to a press release from the Recording Academy announcing the additions to the February 13 telecast from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Also taking the stage next month will be nominees Muse and Lady Antebellum. They will join a roster of previously announced performers that includes Eminem, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Arcade Fire, Cee Lo Green and Miranda Lambert. It will be the first time on the Grammy performance stage for Bieber, B.o.B, Lambert, Mars, Monáe, Muse and Smith. Eminem, Green, Gaga, Perry, Usher and Lady Antebellum will be making return visits for the occasion.
While 11-time Grammy winner Eminem leads the pack in nominations this year (with 10 nods), Mars has seven nominations, and Gaga and Lady Antebellum are not far behind with six nods each. B.o.B has notched five, Perry and Green are each up for four, and Arcade Fire and Lambert are vying for three awards. Bieber, Muse, Usher and Monáe are each nominated for two Grammys.
No details of the collaborative performances were released, but the Grammy announcement promised a rare, never-before-seen event for the Mars, B.o.B and Monáe segment.
With the addition of Antebellum, all five Album of the Year nominees (Eminem, Arcade Fire, Gaga, Perry) are now scheduled to perform on the show. Additional performers, presenters and special segments will be announced soon.
Which Grammy performance are you most looking forward to? Talk about it in the comments!

Jenna Fischer Interview for A Little Help
Jenna Fischer is an uber-planner. "I like things like five-year plans and Excel spreadsheets," she admits to iVillage. But the pregnant actress is preparing to "expect the unexpected" when it comes to motherhood.
And The Office star, who’s expecting her first child -- a boy! -- with husband Lee Kirk (the couple married in July 2010), has had a great sounding board in best pal and iVillage celebrity blogger Angela Kinsey. "I think she’s just really excited because we’ve been best friends for so long and now we’ll have this very big thing in common that we didn’t have in common before," says the 37-year-old actress of her sitcom costar.
Fischer also welcomed the challenge of playing a "hot mess" mother of a 12-year-old son in the indie comedy-drama A Little Help (in theaters July 22), which costars Chris O’Donnell as her philandering husband who dies. "She’s your friend that is calling you every three days with some new drama that you feel like you could have anticipated with just five minutes of thought," she explains about her dental-hygienist character, who gets caught in a web of lies.
iVillage chatted recently with Fischer about why she loved -- and ultimately hated -- letting herself go for A Little Help, how she’s still in denial about Steve Carell leaving The Office and what she can’t wait for about parenthood.
What's getting you most excited about becoming a mom?
I think I’m just excited about becoming a family -- going from just being with me and my husband to being a family together. But everything about it is just so unexpected and daunting. I’ve spent a lot of time with little kids and my friends who have little kids but I think it’s just different when it’s your own, so I’m just expecting the expecting the unexpected, basically.
In A Little Help, you play the mother of a 12-year-old. Did dealing with a surly pre-teen character make you nervous at all about what’s ahead?
We shot this movie two years ago so I wasn’t relating any of my experience on this movie to my real life because my life was in a different place at that time. I will say that when I first read the script, my first thought was, “Oh, no one’s going to believe I have a 12-year-old. I’m too young to have a 12-year-old.” I actually think that my shock at believing that I could have a 12-year-old is similar to my character’s shock at believing she has a 12-year-old. So I kind of played with my lack of knowledge as a mother at the time of shooting this movie because it really fit the character.
The movie is a dramatic departure in a lot of ways for you.
I was most interested in playing this character because she was so different from me personally. I’m very thoughtful about choices I make in my life and this character is very impulsive and she never thinks beyond the moment. She lies to get herself out of trouble, which only gets her into more trouble later. I had to really let go of all of my typical ways of thinking and doing things in order to play this character. It was kind of fun to be impulsive. She’s kind of a trainwreck, she’s kind of a hot mess.
Was it liberating for you to play her?
It really was. Also, they talk about the character has kind of let herself go from the time that her husband met her. One of the things that always annoys me is when you watch these movies with these actresses who are supposed to be frumpy or not in shape, and then they wear a tank top with ripped triceps or something. I thought, “Okay, well I’m going to stop going to the gym,” and I ate a lot of pasta, and I just tried to make my body very soft. I gained about 10 to 15 lbs. for the role. That was really fun at first to not exercise, to eat pasta, to drink as much wine as I wanted with dinner. But by the end of the movie I did not feel good. When we got done shooting, I couldn’t wait to just get back into a fitness routine again. I was telling my friend that at the end of this movie I felt like I had to do the equivalent of wringing out a dirty washcloth. It was just gross.
Your pregnancy is being written into The Office. Can you give us a hint how it’s going to be worked in?
All I know is that the storyline (is) that while Jim (played by John Krasinski) and Pam might be careful at home, they snuck away in the office to have a little office hookup. During the episode titled “PDA” last year, it’s revealed that everyone’s had sex in the office except Jim and Pam. We sort of imply that they got a little frisky. It turns out that that frisky session was successful in conceiving their next baby.
Are you excited for James Spader to join the cast?
I didn’t have any scenes with him, so I haven’t had the opportunity to work with him yet. I’m actually really excited, selfishly, that he’s going to be coming back because I know that here will be some storylines that Pam has with his character going forward. I’m not allowed to reveal but they did tell me a couple things that are in store and it sounds like a lot of fun.
You’ve said in the past that you were kind of in denial about Steve Carell leaving the show.
I think it’s going to have its biggest impact when we go back to work now, because at the end of the season last year, a lot of times Steve would leave early to go do a movie. It was really common for us to do a couple of episodes without him around. I’m not sure if I’m out of my denial quite yet, (so) it will be interesting to see what that will be like. Our schedules were the same in the mornings, so I would see him a lot first thing in the morning and we would talk. I’m going to really miss our morning chat.
Last year when Steve announced that he’d be leaving the show, at iVillage we started a Facebook campaign to get Pam promoted. What do you think of that idea?
Ohhh, amazing! I don’t know if she’s a great candidate for manager right now, but it would be really neat if we could see her excel at something. I’m really hoping that at some point, she finds something that just makes her special because I think her whole life she’s really wanted that.

Lady Gaga Teases Mermaid-Themed Music Video
Gaga says that her mermaid alter-ego, Yuyi, 'is in incubation' and may be born in her next clip.

Lady Gaga is still doing her part to make mermaids the next big thing in mythological creature trends. Though she went with a lo-fi, '80s-esque video for "The Edge of Glory" instead of her rumored "fishy" theme, there's a chance she could go under the sea for a different clip.
"I haven't been excited about a video like this in a really long time," she said on a Taiwanese talk show recently, refusing to name the title of the fourth single off of Born This Way.
"The relation of the video to my real life, as well as to my dream of the future, is really what makes it so special," she said on the show. "Part of what Born This Way is all about is choosing to live halfway between reality and fantasy at all times, and how anyone can do that. So this video really, really challenges that idea and also celebrates it. And it's very exciting.
"I will also say that Yuyi is in incubation, for anyone who knows what that means," she added, referring to the name she's given to her mermaid alter ego that she first unveiled during her performance for France's "Le Grand Journal" in June. "Yuyi may just be born in the next video."
Gaga teased that her next single would surprise fans during a Twitter Q&A last week, leading to many a guessing game and wish list.
"I don't want to ruin the surprise! It's very unexpected. Working on the video now," she said. "Next single coming in a bit."
A rep for Gaga has not responded to MTV News' request for comment regarding the next single.

Justin Bieber Plans His Summer Vacation
'With the time off, I'm able to think, pray and just kind of grow up,' Bieber says.

Despite being spotted hitting the studio earlier this week with Chris Brown, Justin Bieber just revealed that he has plans to take some time off this summer. After spending the last few years touring, recording and being beyond famous, he plans to spend the summer much like any other 17-year-old.
"I've been working so hard, I'm taking a month off," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "It's been great to just think and enjoy hanging out with my friends. I'm still growing up, and when you're working every day, you don't really get a chance to figure out who you are. So with the time off, I'm able to think, pray and just kind of grow up."
That growing-up time has included some karaoke sessions with his lady love, Selena Gomez, and crashing weddings with her as well. He also explained that he's doing something equally normal: staying in bed. "For sure [I'll be resting]," he said. "I've been sleeping in a lot."
Earlier this summer, he told MTV News that his favorite thing to do when he does get some time off is grill. Bieber is an avid BBQ pit master. "Favorite thing to do in the summer?" he pondered for a moment. "Have barbecues."
"I can barbecue. I mean, I don't make the sauce very well, but I can grill," he explained enthusiastically. "No, [I can't cook]. I can just grill and stuff."
Once he does wrap up that well-deserved time off, his work on his forthcoming album continues. It's a project that's been long-simmering for the teen superstar. "[I'm] writing about how I feel and producing. I've been producing on my laptop and on my computer," he said. "I've been really into it and, hopefully, this next album will be huge."
"I've done a lot on my acoustic guitar, so it's gonna have that vibe," he continued. "I'm not gonna really limit myself. I think music is music, and genre — I mean, I know there's country music, there's rock music, but my music is different. My voice is not meant for any style. I just want to make music."

Lady Gaga, Adele, Others Get Record Industry Back In Black
Strong sales by female artists have put industry in positive territory for first time since 2004.
By Gil Kaufman

Beyoncé may have been on to something with that whole "Run the World (Girls)," business after all. Though Queen B's single didn't set the world on fire, in the first half of 2011, a number of her fellow divas — Adele, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry — have helped the music business achieve something it hasn't been able to in nearly eight years: positive growth.
According to figures released on Wednesday by Nielsen SoundScan, overall album sales rose 3.6 percent to 221.5 million during the first half of this year. That marks the first time since 2004 that sales have been in the black for an industry that has suffered a decade-long slide thanks to rampant Internet piracy and slumping album sales as a result of fans cherry-picking singles on iTunes and other download services.
As we continue to hash out which songs will win this year's Summer Jam crown, a number of the female contenders are among the artists who've helped turn the sales tide, including Perry, Nicki Minaj, Adele and Gaga. (Eminem hasn't been a slouch either, thanks to his smash comeback Recovery, which recently passed the 1 million album download mark.)
Adele has already moved more than 2.5 million copies of her breakout hit 21 since February, along with 4.1 million single downloads of "Rolling in the Deep," while Gaga's Born This Way has shifted more than 1.5 million units. Perry has been doing her part as well, scoring a string of hit singles, including "E.T.," which has sold more than 4.1 million digital units this year.
Britney Spears' tourmate Minaj has the year's ninth best-selling album so far with her debut, Pink Friday, with 1.4 million in sales to date, 556,000 of which have come in this calendar year.
Like Nicki, Rihanna has helped boost numbers this year with an album that came out in late 2010. Loud has sold more than 1.3 million copies to date, 598,000 of which came in 2011.
According to Billboard, the ladies aren't alone, as British folk rock revivalists Mumford & Sons have been doing some heavy lifting too, selling 982,000 copies of their album Sigh No More so far this year. Country singer Jason Aldean's My Kinda Party has also done its part, moving 763,000 units, as has Bruno Mars' debut, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, which has sold 686,000 copies.
It's unclear at this point if the trend can sustain itself through the rest of the year. But with strong summer tour sales by Perry and rescheduled dates from Adele on the horizon, not to mention the promise of new albums from Lil Wayne, Kanye West and Jay-Z, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Willow Smith, Rick Ross, Coldplay, and "American Idol" winner Scotty McCreery, the industry may just be able to breathe a (small) sigh or relief for the first time in a long time.

Kris Jenner on Facelift: "I Needed a Little Freshening Up"
Earlier this summer, Kris Jenner let the Keeping Up with the Kardashians cameras follow her as she prepped to have a facelift in anticipation of daughter Kim Kardashian's wedding. Now, Jenner is showing off her updated look and has revealed what prompted her to go under the knife.
"You look gorgeous!" The Talk's cohost Sharon Osbourne, told the reality star, when Jenner appeared on Thursday's episode.
Thanking Osbourne for the compliments, Jenner, 55, admitted that she felt "brave" for having the surgery. "I needed a little freshening up for the wedding," she explained. "Just doing what a girl's gotta do!"
Earlier this month, Jenner's daughter Khloe Kardashian told the New York Daily News, "She looks amazing. They say you are supposed to have a lot of swelling for a week or so after, but I didn't notice."
Kim and fiance Kris Humphries are rumored to be tying the knot in an elaborate ceremony on Aug. 20, but there hasn't been any confirmation yet.
But whenever the highly anticipated nups take place, there are definitely two things we can count on: It will be a lavish spectacle, and the mother of the bride will look her best!

Justin Bieber's Next Big Adventure: Pee-wee Herman's Movie?
Pee-wee makes a plea from Comic-Con for singer to cameo in his Judd Apatow-produced film.
By Terri Schwartz, with reporting by Eric Ditzian

SAN DIEGO — Beliebers are in luck, because Justin Bieber might be heading to the big screen once again soon, if Pee-wee Herman has his way.
Turns out Herman, who has been working on a new film alongside producer Judd Apatow, has recently written the VMA nominee in as one of the celebrity cameos. The only problem? Bieber doesn't know yet.
"I can't really tell [what the cameo is], but he makes an appearance toward the end of the film," Herman (actor Paul Reubens, but we definitely interviewed Pee-wee) told MTV News at San Diego Comic-Con. "He doesn't know about it yet, so if you're watching this, Justin!"
That's not the only grade-A cameo Herman has written into the script. He has his eyes on lots of stars — and the White House.
"There's a party scene in the film that I think will have a lot of the stars. We just wrote President Obama into them. We have an offer out to him," Herman unveiled. Will any other government officials be given a role in the movie? "Sarah Palin wasn't asked. I have to draw the line somewhere, and unfortunately that's where it was drawn. I'm sorry, Sarah, I'm sorry," he whispered.
The script for the currently unnamed comedy is being looked at by Universal Studios at the moment, and Herman said he hoped filming could begin within the next couple of months. It only helps that he has Apatow in his court and that the director/producer has words of wisdom to pass on to Herman to make the best comedy he can.
"He's given us the same advice over and over again, which is 'emotional arc,' " Herman explained. "He wants the character to go through an emotional arc and to come out on the other end arced. So that's what we're doing. We're adding an emotional arc. Emotional growth, so there's a change in Pee-wee Herman during this film. Pee-wee makes a change."

For months, Sirius radio host Howard Stern has been bellyaching about how Lady Gaga seemed to be talking to everyone except him. So, when the singer stopped in to chat on Monday morning (July 18), the notorious radio host made sure to make the most of it, indulging in one of his show's longest celebrity chats in recent memory, a nearly 90-minute ramble in which he got Gaga to talk about fame, fashion, sex, drugs and rock and roll.
For the most part, the interview hit many of the highlights of Gaga's now-legendary rise to superstardom: her childhood fascination with piano, the first song she ever wrote, her move to Manhattan as a teenager and the one-year ultimatum her dad gave her after she dropped out of college. But she also revealed a bit more about her offstage self and the inspirations behind some of her most beloved tunes.
"I really don't give a f--- about money at all," Gaga said when Stern tried to get the singer to dish on how much money her album sales and tours have grossed. In fact, she said she still lives in a tiny Brooklyn apartment and has only bought two things with her newfound riches: heart surgery and a car for her dad. "The Monster Ball was really expensive and the next show will be really expensive and I will pay for it," she said of the 2012 extravaganza that she's planning.
There was, however, one topic even the famously prying Stern couldn't goad Gaga could into talking about: her love life.
"What boyfriend? ... Who's Jean Luc?" she joked when Stern asked about what her closest friends call her offstage. (Even her parents call her Gaga at this point, she said, especially when they're mad at her.) "It's hard to find a boyfriend who doesn't mind a good tuck," she added, throwing more fuel on the fire of the absurdly tenacious Internet rumors about her gender.
"My first love is music," she explained, though when Stern asked whether she had been intimate with anyone recently, she laughed, "I got laid last night ... the guys who are here are my best friends in the whole world. You're talking about Luc Carl; he's been my best friend since I was 19."
Gaga stressed that Carl is still her best friend, sidestepping the boyfriend issue once again — and that he's going to launch a Sirius satellite radio show soon.
One of the stories Stern was predictably fascinated with was the fact that Gaga's first piano teacher was a stripper who danced at one of the radio host's favorite New York gentleman's clubs, Scores, leading him to wonder if he'd ever gotten a lap dance from Gaga's instructor.
Back in the day, in fact, before she was famous, Gaga said she used to dance on fire escapes and pretend she was a star, an image she re-created for her "The Edge of Glory" video. But those pre-fame days were also difficult, as she toiled at waitressing jobs and turned to drugs when she felt lonely, something she now really regrets. "To any little sweethearts that are listening ... don't touch [cocaine], it's the devil."
Though she's best known for writing her own songs, Gaga discussed the two tracks she's written for Britney Spears, "Quicksand" (which appeared on the Circus album), and "Telephone," which Spears recorded, but never released. Asked if it bummed her out that "Telephone" was rejected by Spears, Gaga said, "Hell no! Frickin' Britney Spears sang my record! I was doing back flips and ordering drinks!"
After describing how she came up with "Born This Way" while in the shower, Gaga pulled out her BlackBerry and played a number of early demos of her songs, including the first, vocals-only take on "Highway Unicorn," her first pass on the chorus to "Judas" and a snippet of a bouncy new song she wasn't ready to unleash yet. She also described how "Marry the Night" was inspired by the moment when she decided that she was not willing to become another one of those California club people after spending some time on the Left Coast early in her career trying to fit in. " 'No thanks ... see you later, it's been nice in the sun,' and I went back to New York and I married the night," she said of why she would never move to Cali, preferring the divey, shots-and-pool-table bars in her native city.
"Do I feel like a powerful person in show business? Yeah," she said when Stern wondered if she will use her newfound powers in the industry for good or evil.
The appearance also featured a performance of "Glory," with Gaga prefacing with a story about how it was inspired by her grandfather's passing, the first death of a close family member she'd ever experienced. "When my grandma was saying goodbye [to my grandfather], there was something so intense that happened for me that I saw ... as sad as the moment was, they both were acknowledging that they had really won in life because they had each other," she said of the 60-year marriage of her grandparents.
On the day her grandpa died, Gaga said she and her father sat down at the piano in their home and traded shots of tequila and she told her pops, "Grandpa's about to cross over into his glorious moment. It's hard now because he's on the edge." Right then, Gaga said she began playing piano and the song just tumbled out of her. She recorded it and played the emerging tune for her grandfather that day over the phone, and she's convinced he could hear it. He passed just hours later.
"It's about also knowing in your heart that you may never reach that glorious moment until you die, so live life on the edge — halfway between heaven and hell — and let's all dance in the middle in purgatory," she said before playing an affecting solo piano version of the tune.
And, in honor of Stern's notoriously luxurious locks, she also performed the Born This Way tune "Hair," explaining that it was inspired by her rebellious teenage Grateful Dead phase, when her mother would sneak in and chop off her gross, dread-y hair in her sleep to keep her looking neat and clean.

Victoria Justice is Ready to Get "Locked Up!"
Just one week away from it's much awaited debut, Victoria Justice and friends are all set to deliver a family-friendly adventure with the Victorious movie ?Locked Up!?.
The hour-long special double episode airs on Saturday, July 30th on Nickelodeon, with Miss Justice and her Hollywood Arts mates embark on a trouble-laden vacation to Yerba.
With the show's trailer available above, a complete synopsis is as follows: "The gang (plus Rex and Sikowitz) take a trip to Yerba, a foreign country. Tori thinks she planned the perfect vacation, with luxury foods and service, but lets everyone down when they are placed in a rundown hotel room with critters and insects, as well as disgusting meals. A Yerban citizen eventually shows up at the door of the gang's hotel room. It turns out he's the owner of the hotel, and promises the gang great food, an awesome hotel room, and plane fare only if they perform for the prime minister of Yerba, who will be coming to the hotel. The gang obviously agrees. But while dancing for the prime minister, Tori's shoe comes off her foot, flies across the room, and hits the prime minister in the eye. The gang is then sentenced to four years in a Yerban prison. Eventually, Tori concocts a plan to get out, which involves a hit song."
To offer further excitement, a special Walmart Soundcheck video featuring Victoria, Elizabeth Gillies and Daniella Monet has also been released (view below) - with the behind the scenes footage including a mixup of clips from next weekend's not-to-be-missed premiere of "Locked Up!"

Adele And Kanye Remix "Melt My Heart To Stone"
Adele's "Melt My Heart To Stone" is one of those breakup songs that just tugs at your heartstrings. But the new Kanye West remix really takes the edge off. It's not as good as his Katy Perry remix of "E.T.," probably because there's no lyrics like "Imma disrobe ya, then Imma probe ya." Keep up the remixes of female pop stars, Kanye! Maybe one day we'll get a Taylor Swift collab out of you. [DesiHits]

Thanks to her ubiquitous hit "Friday," Rebecca Black quickly went from YouTube sensation to starring in a Katy Perry video for that singer's equally ubiquitous hit "Last Friday Night." Now Black is ready to take her career to the next level.
She'll release a new song, "My Moment," on July 18, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The song was written by Brandon "Blue" Hamilton (Justin Bieber) and Quinton Tolbert and the production credits include Charlton Pettus.
The video is reportedly less kitschy than her "Friday" video (but perhaps just as literal). It will include footage of her attending red-carpet events and receiving an award at her junior high school, telling "the story of her sudden rise to fame," according to a statement. "It's a fairy tale story, but it happened in real life."
Black is also working on finishing up her five-track EP, which will be released in August. "We're thinking about it; we have so many different options right now. We're trying to decide which route we should take," Black told MTV News earlier this year about her career plans and following up her viral smash.
"I really like Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Selena Gomez; all just the fun upbeat stuff, teenager songs," she said of her musical inspirations. "My dream duet would be Justin Bieber. Even just doing something with Taylor Swift, or any of my favorite artists would be so cool."

Robert Pattinson Shaved Half His Head: Likes or Yikes?
What in the world is going on above Robert Pattinson's shoulders?
The hunky Twilight star, 25, was sporting a wacky new 'do when he turned up to Comic Con in San Diego on July 21 to promote Breaking Dawn. But, no, the actor hasn't lost his mind -- or his sense of style. Instead, the half-shaved look is reportedly for his role in the upcoming Cosmopolis, in which his character runs out of a salon halfway through his haircut.
Luckily, Pattinson's luscious locks will grow back soon. And, in the meantime, we can just reflect back on his hair heyday!
