Jennifer Hudson knows how to belt out a song. She knows how to work her way around a movie set. And, the former "American Idol" certainly knows a thing or two about knocking them dead on the red carpet.   read more

Full disclosure: I've wanted to recreate Danaerys' look for a while now (and not just around Halloween-time). Her makeup is soft and natural, and do not even get me started on how awesome her hair is, even when it's dirty and messy from trekking through the plains of Essos. So when we decided to give our editorial assistant Emily a GoT-style makeover for Halloween, I geeked out -- a lot. Not only is Dany a total badass and gorgeous to boot -- she's also got dragons. And while we couldn't quite hatch our own from petrified eggs like she does, we could order a mini one from Amazon. Channel the Mother of Dragons' fiery nature with our step-by-step guide and make your claim to the Iron Throne.   read more

Anyone remember Ashley Olsen's angled bob? Yeah, I got that haircut. I loved it for, oh, about two weeks ... until I realized my long hair would take forever and three years to grow back. I vowed I would never get a short haircut again (Ditto: bangs. That was an even bigger disaster). But then Karlie Kloss had to go and get the cutest, chicest bob ever (Why, Karlie? Why are you tempting me to do something I know won't end well for me?). The last straw was Claire Danes' straight-up perfect bob at the Emmys. I was on the verge of heading to my hairstylist when I found out it was faux.   read more

Stop damaging your hair. No really, stop. You're only hurting yourself here. We know you're shivering when you jump out of the shower and that you just want to blast your hair with that warm blow dryer of yours, but if you care at all about having healthy hair, you will throw on a robe and do the right thing: properly prep your hair for heat styling.
