There were many Hits and Misses to choose from, that’s for certain.  Do we want to good news first, or the bad?  Let’s go with the GOOD news first this time, shall we?

HIT. Here lies proof that Michelle was indeed the most exquisite Catwoman on film.  Do I need to remind everyone that this lovely actress is 52 years-old?

Now we have a bit of 42 year-old desperation.  I don’t understand Jennifer Aniston’s choice of dress for an event where she is being honored by and for women.  This isn’t the Spike Awards, for pity sake, Jen.

MISS. Would it have killed her to dress a bit more elegantly?  We all know she has bangin’ legs and pretty feet.  I’m just not a fan of how this frock hangs and clings in all the wrong places.

Oh, Jen.  Please stop being such a Try-Hard.

When asked to describe her fragrance, Jennifer stated:

“…I wanted this fragrance to be a personal library of scent memories. For example, my love of night blooming jasmine has lasted a lifetime. Growing up in California, I distinctly remember the scent of jasmine on summer evenings. I consider the scent of the ocean to be one of life’s most uplifting sensual experiences. No aroma is quite so purifying, humbling and exhilarating. The combination of the salty air and tropical oils reminds me of long sunny days on the beach-pure happiness.“

Her new cut is a refreshing change from her usual long waved tresses. Truly, her hair always looks fabulous even when she had the “Rachel”. What do you think of Jen’s new do? See some of Jennifer Aniston’s past hairstyles below.

One chemistry that is true and undying when it comes Jennifer Aniston is her hair. From the Rachel that launched layers into a must have at salons everywhere to her golden highlights. I must admit, I copied the Friends do and even got a bob shortly after she rocked the short do on the show.

Her hairdresser talked to Elle about hair color secrets to expect. From Jen’s California friendly, sun drenched strands to the 80’s making a comeback, here is an insider’s beauty tip for hair.

Sun-kissed highlights are always in, but I think platinum one-process hair color has made a comeback and will continue to do so. We’ll also be seeing more cyber ’80s dos with touches of wild pinks, blues, greens, and black in unexpected places, as well as luxe all-over color—think richer reds, deeper browns, and glistening blacks.

Let’s hope the gigantic curly bang will stay in that decade and never surface again!

Jennifer Aniston launched the haircut that changed the way women wanted their hair done. Throngs of Friends fans demanded the Rachel cut from their stylists and layers hit their prime. It was the cut to have.

Since then the Good Girl star has stuck with a healthy and long mane of golden locks. Chris McMillian, Jen’s long time stylist, revealed how he cares for her hair and her secrets with Elle.

What shampoo and conditioner does she use?

She loves having her hair shampooed fresh and clean. She shampoos and conditions pretty much every day—if she’s going for the day-old-hair look, she prefers to create it using products. The shampoo and conditioner she’s using right now are my shampoo and conditioner. I used her and Courteney Cox as my guinea pigs. Jennifer uses the products every day. She also loves deep conditioners—I’ll do professional treatments at my salon using Shu Uemura products.

When she isn’t being pampered in salon and have her hair treated with extra TLC, Aniston remembers to show her do some respect.

How does Jennifer keep her hair looking great between salon visits?

I cut her hair religiously every six weeks, but between visits, she takes care of her hair, she really does—she doesn’t rip through it when she brushes it after a shower. And she lets her hair dry on its own when she’s not working. She likes to wear her hair natural, and she’s good at styling it on her own.

See…it can be as easy as taking care of yourself!

Jennifer Aniston always looks well put together, collected and seems to have everything in place at all times….and well…boring.

She is constantly well groomed and there isn’t one factor wrong with good hygiene and caring about your appearance. However there comes a time when your high maintenance ways becomes your downfall. Personality always plays into a person’s true beauty.

Word has gotten out that Aniston recently spent $50,000 on a weeks worth of hair styling. What you or I could create with a flat iron and smoothing gel, she shelled out what would be an average American’s yearly income for. Ouch. The Daily Mail reports the price tag came from her trip overseas.

“The sky-high bill came because Miss Aniston, 40, insisted her hairdresser Chris McMillan accompany her on a week-long trip to Europe. He flew with her from Los Angeles to London in first class last week, at an estimated cost of £14,400 each.”

Sorry Jen. This is just over the top.

Jennifer Aniston always looks so well put together. She should being that she is rumored to spend around $20,000 a month on looking good. Between yoga instructors, personal chefs and anti-cellulite treatments she spends a pretty pen on staying gorgeous.

Unfortunately not all of us are as finically sounds as the A-lister. So for those of us who are on a budget or just prefer to spend extra income on a nice pair of shoes instead, there are beauty treatments that just might be in your pantry and beauty cabinet already.

• ¼ cup vodka mixed in ¼ cup shampoo is the ultimate in shine shampoo remedies.
• 30 aspirin dissolved in shampoo fights dandruff. To forego any flakes make this your daily cleanser.
• Rinsing hair with mouthwash gets the chorine out of your hair. It also takes out residue from hair products. Use it as a final rinse after washing your hair.
