Apocalypse Now: Kate's Hair Goes Global
Ybuzz ^ | 5/18/09 | Mike Krumboltz

Posted on 05/18/2009 7:12:54 PM PDT by pissant

The alleged marital troubles between reality stars Jon and Kate Gosselin have spurred a slew of searches. Lookups on Kate's surreal hairstyle are among the most popular.

Over the past week, queries on the 'do have surged an astonishing 713%. Related terms like "kate gosselin haircut" and "kate gosselin hair pictures" also posted strong gains. Are people searching on the hair because they want to emulate Kate? Or are they looking with the same freaked-out fascination as highway rubberneckers?

The world may never know. But for what it's worth, Kate has a theory. She believes "everybody wants" her hair. According to Entertainment Weekly, Kate says that her stylist gets calls from all over from folks who want to look like her. Alas, because the style requires thick hair, "it's not going to work for everybody." Life: so darn unfair.

While Kate hasn't said if she's given her style an official name, some calling the famous coiffure the "pixie bob." Queries on the term are relatively modest for now. However, if Kate's pointy locks become the next big thing (as she clearly believes), the "pixie bob" could become as eponymous as "the Rachel." Shudder...

Of course, Kate isn't the only celebrity whose hairstyle inspires lookups. Below we rank the top ten famous 'dos from the past seven days. Kudos to Mr. Beckham — the only male who, pardon the pun, made the cut.

It would be a good trend, IMO.

Thank goodness the flat-ironed hideous straight hair hippie chick craze has come and gone.

I know we disagree on this, but God meant for women to have long hair.

That’s like an emo boy’s haircut and by that I mean it sucks.

I bet you’ll see that haircut a lot at the Dinah Shore LPGA invitational.

I don’t get it. What’s the big deal about her hair?

Long, styled, big hair is nice. See Ann M. for example.

The flatlining whispy cher/hippie look is hideous and a abomination. See Example:

Not sure. It’s taken off though. My wife just did hers that way.

It doesn’t look that unusual to me. I’ve seen lots worse. Seen lots better. I think it looks pretty ordinary though, to be honest. Can’t see what the fuss is about.

I’ve never even heard of this woman.

I think Anniston wears her hair like that to hide her massive man jaw.

Short for “Emotional Boy.” The most pathetic excuse you’ll ever see of a human being. Imagine Goth breaking down in tears at the drop of a hat.

Who is emotional boy? Is it a person or a slang term for a nerd with a bad haircut?

Ouch. I think she’s pretty good looking. When she used to style her hair anyway. Not top shelf, but not bad either.

If it is, then I really feel sorry for the kids. I just feel sorry for the kids no matter what.

It’s a bunch of people. There was an article here a few months back about how the Mexican street thugs love to beat the crap out of them because instead of hitting back, they just sit and cry.
