She Bangs: Which Hottie's Hairdo Looks Best?

Bangs are all the rage right now.
So we can understand why celebs like Lea Michele, Cate Blanchett, Rose Byrne, Ashley Herbert and Leighton Meester have opted for a chop recently. The 'do comes in handy when you're bored with your usual look and want something dramatic—but not too drastic like this or, say, this—to spiff up your hairstyle. There's also the added bonus that you don't have to get your eyebrows done as often.
But let's be blunt: The look can be tricky to pull off, because not everyone is Justin Bieber...
Movie Review: Meet the World's Most Endearing Teenage Assassin in Hanna
Focus Features
Review in a Hurry: Run, Hanna, run! The titular teenager (Saoirse Ronan), raised in the wild and trained as a killer, sprints across Morocco after an assassination mission. Often pulse-pounding and occasionally preposterous, this slick thriller features inventive action sequences and terrific actors who offset more over-the-top moments.
Is Peter Jackson Screwing Up The Hobbit?
New Line
I have been following the casting of The Hobbit, and I don't get it. Cate Blanchett, Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom—they're all going to be in the movie, but none of their characters are in that book! It's blasphemy.
—Kio, via the inbox
Sit down, my son, for I am about to outnerd you on such an epic scale that your ears will ring evermore like the echoes of Horn of Gondor. According to Middle Earth scholars—oh yes, I hath dug them up—Hobbit director Peter Jackson knows very much what he's doing...
The Hobbit Total Coverage: Peter Jackson's Lovely Bones Star Coming to Middle-earth
We've been obsessing over The Hobbit, directed by Peter Jackson, and starring Martin Freeman and The Lord of the Rings originals Ian McKellen and Cate Blanchett.
Part one is due out in 2012, and part two will follow in 2013. So here's all the lasting casting news and scoop:
Saoirse Ronan joins the cast, but who will she play (January 2011)? It's turning into quite the Jackson reunion special down in New Zealand. The latest bit of casting news comes courtesy casting director Ros Hubbard, who stated in an interview that not only Ronan, but her entire family will be having a blast down in the land of the Kiwis as they work on the two-part series. "[W]orking with Peter Jackson is like working with a family," Hubbard told IFTN "So they'll have a great time. Saoirse's family will go too. Everyone is very close and very loving on those sorts of jobs. It's not like typical studio movies at all." It's still unclear what Ronan's character would be, but we think she'd fit right in with the Elf community.
Cate Blanchett's Ears Perk Up for The Hobbit
New Line Cinema
Why, Lady Galadriel, you haven't changed a bit!
Cate Blanchett will reteam with Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson to reprise her role as the grandest elf of all in The Hobbit, which starts shooting in New Zealand in February.
"Cate is one of my favorite actors to work with and I couldn't be more thrilled to have her reprise the role she so beautifully brought to life in the earlier film," Jackson said Tuesday.
Cannes Notebook: Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett Lead an All-Star Cast at Robin Hood Premiere

There was a lot of merrymaking—not to mention stargazing—going on as the 63rd edition of the Cannes Film Festival got under way today along the French Riviera.
Kicking off opening night was the world premiere of Robin Hood, Ridley Scott's take on the classic British folk hero starring Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett as the titular outlaw and Maid Marion, respectively.
As the two Aussie Oscar winners waved to fans, they were joined on the Croisette by their costar, screen legend Max von Sydow, and actress Salma Hayek. But it was a who's-who of A-listers at the afterparties that had us all a-Twitter.
Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett Kick Off Cannes!

G'day, mates! Things are looking bright on the Riviera as Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett make the scene today to kick off the 2010 Cannes International Film Festival with the premiere of Robin Hood.
Forgoing Sherwood Forest drab for designer duds (that's Armani she's wearing), the Oscar winners are the first major celebs to hit the Croisette. But they definitely won't be the last...
