The bob is one of those cuts that's always around and always fashionable. It's feminine but low maintenance, and it's always been associated with independence and self-confidence. But although the basic structure of the cut has remained the same, the way we structure it and society's perception of the cut in general has shifted enormously over the last hundred years. So to find out how we got to the cut you know and love today, just keep reading.

If you haven't seen Bonnie and Clyde, open a new browser window, put it at the top of your Netflix queue, and get ready to be entertained. When the film debuted in 1967, it was hugely popular despite (or perhaps because of) its then-shocking displays of sex and violence; today, it's a classic. Though the film is more than four decades old, Faye Dunaway's style would still look cool today. Check here for tips on recreating the Bonnie Parker look, and check out a few ideas below — but as far as robbing banks goes, you might want to pass that one up.
On this week's Grey's Anatomy, fallout continues from Derek's surgical mistake a couple of weeks back. It was, as the episode title says, an honest mistake, but when surgeons make mistakes, they hold people's lives in their hands. This episode got pretty intense at times; are you ready to talk about it? Just read more
Last week when the news came out that Hilary Duff will be starring in a new Bonnie & Clyde story, apparently no one was more surprised than Faye Dunaway herself. She supposedly commented, "Couldn't they at least cast a real actress?" Today, Hilary Duff dissed Faye back saying that younger fans don't know who Dunaway is and then making a slam on the older actress's appearance. Check out the clip below and tell us what you think about Hilary's comments — totally inappropriate or kinda understandable?
If you have a Clyde in your life, a fun couple Halloween costume I've always wanted to try is Bonnie and Clyde. Admittedly, the movie has some slow parts, but I just watch it to admire Faye Dunaway in her fast-getaway tweeds and berets, and to admire Warren Beatty's, well, face. No doubt they were the coolest couple of 1967, and they have a timeless appeal. The easy thing about this costume is that you probably already have a lot of it in your closet (or your mom's) already. But you need the blunt blond wig. And your beau will be happy because he gets to dress up as a dapper gangster. To go that extra mile, study how the handsome couple quarrels throughout the movie and bring the shooting drama to the party.
It's Thursday, which means it's Bella Donna time! You loved last week's choice, Dorothy Dandridge, and I can't wait to hear what you think about this week's, Faye Dunaway. I confess that although I knew she was famous, I didn't see Bonnie and Clyde until a few weeks ago. (It's a great film, so if you haven't seen it yet, rent it! Rent it now!)
As an actress, Dunaway faced the same kind of challenge that many naturally beautiful women do in Hollywood: She had to fight to prove that she was more than just a pretty face, especially because she was a former beauty queen. "I wasn't some brainless beauty, and I didn't ever want to give anyone a chance to draw that conclusion," she wrote in her 1995 biography, Looking for Gatsby. Fortunately, a string of meaty roles gave her the opportunity to show off her skills along with her striking face.

Plastic surgery addict Joan Rivers and puppet Madame.
"Madamism," coined by drag queen Lady Bunny, describes the puppet-like features that a person gets after too many face lifts. Madame, of course, was the famed puppet from the campy 80's dance show, Solid Gold. Below are some unfortunate Madame look-alikes, screen legend Faye Dunaway, musical mega-star Cher, beloved queen of country Dolly Parton, and velvety-voiced singer Dionne Warwick.
