How Jennifer Aniston Stole Bieber's Hair Thunder

I wish I could say that I take the high road and could care less about such frivolities as what celebrities are doing with their hair, but honestly---this week is going to go down in celeb hair history as the most mind-blowing ever. First, of course, the Biebs chopped about two inches off his locks, much to the dismay of prepubescents everywhere who dreamed of running their hands through it. He actually looks a little more badass now, although the double-breasted jacket he’s wearing in this picture makes it look like he’s trying on his dad’s clothes. But only one person could upstage Justin Bieber in the hair department, and that’s Jennifer Aniston. Having been the proud owner of the most popular 'do in history, she has had to deal with the aftermath of “The Rachel” for the past 15 years.

Yesterday while promoting her new film “Just Go With It,” Aniston shocked the world and debuted a new haircut. It’s a long bob, which is actually pretty short for her--it’s also noticeably lighter.

Shocker: The Jennifer Aniston Fragrance Smells Pretty Good

We all (well, I guess I should just speak for myself here) get annoyed by celebrity fragrances.

(Dare I mention a buxom brunette whose name rhymes with “Mardashian”?) Last year when Jennifer Aniston announced she was releasing a fragrance, I had to roll my eyes. It’s hard to articulate exactly what annoys me so much about her.

How Much Makeup Was Justin Bieber Wearing At The Golden Globes? We Investigate

While live blogging the Golden Globes on Sunday night, I think the moment that made me gasp the most (besides seeing a fleeting glimpse of January Jones in that Versace cut out gown) was the Biebs’ glowy, dewy, perfect skin. Granted, he’s only 16 so besides some breakouts he should have incredible skin. But he looked almost doll-like. I contacted Nathan Johnson, a celebrity makeup artist with experience in film and TV. His work has appeared in Rolling Stone and Elle. Most importantly for our purposes, about 50% of his clients are men. Here’s what he had to say about Justin’s glow:
