Jennifer Aniston's hair 'most envied' by women
Women envy Jennifer Aniston's hair more than any other celebrity, according to a recent survey.
In a poll of 1,600 people commissioned by Hair magazine, it was found that Aniston's hair is the most coveted followed by Catherine Zeta-Jones, Cat Deeley, Penelope Cruz, Angelina Jolie, Natalie Imbruglia, Victoria Beckham, Nicole Kidman, Sharon Stone and Sienna Miller.
The survey also named 'the bob' - as popularised by Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes - as the "most iconic haircut" of all time.
The hairstyle, originally associated with Sixties stars such as Mary Quant and Twiggy, beat Aniston's sleek, long Friends cut in the survey.
Her hairdo sparked the biggest hair craze of the Nineties as women flocked to salons to ask for 'a Rachel'.
The Amy Winehouse-style Sixties beehive was third, followed by the 1970s Farrah Fawcett feathered number, as recently imitated by Madonna.
Mia Farrow's ultra-short 'Rosemary's Baby' crop was fifth in the online poll, commissioned by Hair magazine, followed by the heavy fringe worn to the side that Lady Diana Spencer sported when she announced her engagement to the Prince of Wales.
Joanna Lumley's 'Purdey bob' from her period in 'The New Avengers' was seventh.

Down is an all-star heavy metal side contrive whose original lineup consisted of members from Pantera (isaac Bashevis Singer Phil Anselmo), Corrosion of Conformity (guitar player Pepper Keenan), and Crowbar (guitar player Kirk Windstein, bassist Todd Strange, and drummer Jimmy Bower). Formed in the mid-'90s when Pantera was on a brief break (between their Far Beyond Driven and The Great Southern Trendkill releases), the quartet's members had been longtime friends and decided to breach up their downtime (hence their describe). The East/West mark issued Down's 1995 debut, NOLA, an abbreviation for New Orleans, LA, from which all its original members hailed. While many put on that the group would particularise in extraordinary, uttermost alloy, it contained more elements of classic rock than the member's usual bands (a prime influence of the mathematical group being Black Sabbath). After a supporting spell wrapped up, short was heard from the group, as the members returned back to their full-time projects, leading many to take up that Down as a one-off. But this proven non to be the case. Anselmo, Keenan, and Bower reconvened to work on new material in 2001, with Pantera bassist Rex Brown pickings Strange's spot in the batting order. March 2002 saw the release of Down's long-awaited sophomore try, the befittingly highborn Down II. A third volume, Down III, followed in 2007.

After Wynton Marsalis, no one caused more of an katzenjammer than James Carter did when he appeared on the New York jazz scene from his native Detroit. Carter's debut recording, JC on the Set, issued in Japan when he was only 23 and in the States a year later in 1993, was universally acclaimed as the finest debut by a saxophonist in decades. Critics lauded his power to wager in well-nigh any malarky style without appearance to aper anyone. Carter, wHO began performing at 11 and studied with herald Marcus Belgrave, was a prodigy. He played and toured with Marsalis in 1986 at the eld of 17 and became a phallus of Lester Bowie's band upon relocating to New York in 1988. Carter issued no less than six recordings under his own name between 1993 and 2000, all of them with dissimilar focuses, from a congeal of standards, Conversin' with the Elders in 1995, to an galvanising funk record, Layin' in the Cut, to a at the same time released do in testimonial to Django Reinhardt, Chasin the Gypsy. Three years later, he esteemed the fabled Billie Holiday with Gardenias for Lady Day. Jumping ship from Columbia to Warner Bros., Carter's Live at Baker's Keyboard Lounge followed in leaping 2004. Another live session, Out of Nowhere, was released in 2005 on the sovereign label Half Note. Carter has continued his whirlwind of activity, playing on session and in live settings with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Cyrus Chestnut, Rodney Whitaker, Frank Lowe, the late Julius Hemphill, pop-jazz isaac Bashevis Singer Madeleine Peyroux, Ronald Shannon Jackson, Tough Young Tenors, and the Charles Mingus Big Band.

Crowded House's Somerville set a true fan's 'Dream' come true
Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson split again
Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson - who rekindled their romance earlier this year - have decided to end their relationship, and friends say the split wasn't amicable.
Owen's pal told People magazine: "It was a pretty bad break-up. Owen said it was a tough one. He definitely doesn't want to dwell on it. He wants to put it behind him."
Last week, it was claimed Kate and Owen had got engaged but the actress' representative quickly denied the claims.
Sources allege the pair - who first split last June was said to have triggered Owen's suicide bid in August - had never been exclusive in their relationship.
One said: "They've always had a loose and open thing - never serious, and definitely not monogamous."
Despite their on/off relationship, Kate has always admitted to caring for Owen deeply.
She previously said: "Owen is such a lovely person, and I love him dearly. I wish him beautiful things - health and everything that he desires in life."
Kate - who has a four-year-old son, Ryder, with ex-husband Chris Robinson - began dating in 2006, after meeting on the set of romantic comedy 'You, Me and Dupree'.

They reportedly spent three days together before the race in Muskoka, Ontario, where Hudson's mother Goldie Hawn owns a cabin. Hudson was later snapped shopping in Toronto, Canada, with her son Ryder, four, and Armstrong's kids Luke, eight, and twins, Grace and Isabelle, also in tow.
Hudson turned out on Saturday (14Jun08) to support Armstrong throughout the race and they attended a post-event dinner together, happily posing for photos and chatting with other participants.
A source tells People.com, "He was laughing and she was laughing and they put their arms around each other. It was sweet."

Linda: Hulk Should Be Nick's Cellmate!
Linda Hogan wants Hulk to spend time with Nick -- behind bars.
Linda is asking a judge to cite the Hulkster with contempt of court, because he allegedly didn't ante up money for a $4.2 million Vegas condo, as required by the judge. Yes, the judge ordered Hulk to pay for a party pad. We love the law.
The condo was in escrow when the divorce was filed and the court order required both Hulk and Linda to close the deal and then put the asset in the community pot. Linda has put her share in but Hulk hasn't.
And here's the kicker. In the legal papers, Linda is asking the judge to throw Hulk's ass in the Pinellas County Jail, where Hulk and Nick can sure scheme to hatch the post-pokey real-ality show. Dis and gusting.
