Kaley Cuoco LA Premiere

Right now I am all about The Bling Ring and its cast of super hot stars. Actress Claire Julien stunned at a New York screening of the Sofia Coppola-directed flick in an Emilio Pucci dress, but the real standout was her knotted halo braid crafted by celebrity hairstylist Christopher Naselli. "For this event, we wanted a fresh look that was youthful and sexy, yet playful with the right amount of elegance" he explains. OK! News: 'PLL' and 'Ravenswood' Gossip So Juicy You Should Sit Down To Read Christopher offers up his step-by-step instructions for recreating the style here, using Oribe Hair Care products: • Apply Grandiose Hair Plumping Mousse to damp hair from roots to mid-shaft for maximum volume and texture, and then a few drops of Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil from mid-shaft to ends for smoother ends. Rough dry hair with fingers, lifting only at the roots. • Create a messy side part and lightly mist top and side sections with Volumista Mist for Volume, blasting with a blow dryer while you spray to add a second layer of texture.

At this point, take remaining hair and tie it into knots until you run out of hair. Secure ends with an elastic, then bend up and across the top of the head leaving out the fringe. Tuck the ends of the braid and secure with pins to the top of the head.

If you're anything like me (kinda tall, has hair, wears t-shirts sometimes) then you were a fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen growing up. They had everything I wanted but couldn't have: big blue eyes, a killer wardrobe, and access to Bob Saget at all times. And while they were busy designing chic capri pants for the everyday tween and leading important DualStar Entertainment Group meetings in fabulously tailored suits for tiny people, I was laying on the couch in my family room, eating string cheese, wondering why my parents hadn't tried to push me into acting at seven months old. OK! News: Remembering Mary Kate & Ashley In Two of A Kind What I mean to say is, I was a big fan of MK & A, and I watched a lot of their movies. So here, on their 27th birthday, I'm ranking their straight-to-video/TV classics. And don't worry, I won't be basing this on the dialogue or the acting or the plot twists. I'm really trying to focus on the things that matter: creativity of character names, style and quality of hair, and the exoticness of filming locations. And no, "exoticness" is not a word. First up: Names: Sarah & Julie Thompson  Location: Places called "Uptown" "Downtown" & "Edgemont" Hair Styles: Bangs, before Zooey Deschanel made them cool. Conclusion: What is this, amateur hour? Names are unoriginal, the location might as well be Nowheresville, USA and the hairstyles? Please. Big, fat 0.  Watch: Meet the Princesses: Long Island Next up is: Names: Tess & Emily Tyler Location: Los Angeles, CA Hair Style: Short and sweet, but very 90's. Conclusion: While they're making strides in the name & location department, they're not out of the woods just yet. Get your game up, girls: 2.5 OK! News: Everything You Need To Know Before Girl Meets World Premieres Moving on to: Names: Melanie "Mel" & Alyson "Ally" Porter Location: City of Lights! Hair Style: Channeling Britney Spears, a la the "Lucky" video.  Conclusion: While I'm not overly impressed with the names, P2P gets major points for sending the girls on their first international shoot AND beating Britney to the straight-bob hair craze (that was 2000, this was 1998—hazaa!): 4.5 Watch: Candidly Nicole Takes On Father's Day With Lionel Richie And then there's: Names: Maddie & Abby Parker Location: Sydney, Australia! Hair Styles: Choppy and shoulder length with a sliver of frontal highlights Conclusion: Really a model flick for the duo—names are cute yet old-fashioned, location is 24+ hours away and the hair is age appropriate with a dash of maturity. Still, looking for the ladies to push the limits: 7 OK! News: SJP Announces Collaboration With Manolo Blahnik Following up with: Names: Chloe & Riley Lawrence Location: London, England Hair Style: In a move meant to help us differentiate the two, Ashley went straight, while Mary Kate opted for curls. Conclusion: We see the girls really nail the name game for the first time in Winning London. Not to mention, London serves as a great backdrop for hijinks (see: Spice World). Bonus points for use of hats and trenchcoats throughout the film: 9 OK! News: Madonna Names Rita Ora The Global Face of Material Girl Still going... Names: Alex & Madison Stewart Location: "Filmed at the Bahamas" Hair Style: Same as Winning London, only slightly worse.  Conclusion: Megan Fox, Weezer & horseback riding dates on the beach not withstanding, the hair, locaysh & names in HITS were total missteps: 6.5 OK! News: Get Kaley Cuoco's Critic's Choice TV Awards Glow Finally we get to: Names: Leila & Charlie Hunter Location: Roma! Hair Style: Soft, wavy, gorgeous. Conclusion: Character names are on another level, location is historic yet romantic (and tasty!) and hair is just beyond: 10 OK! News: Isabel Marant and H&M Join Forces So while a good effort was shone throughout the entire catalogue of straight-to-VHS flicks, When in Rome really hit it out of the park. Congratulations to all who participated and a very happy birthday to Mary-Kate and Ashley!  What's your favorite Straight-to-Video flick from Mary-Kate & Ashley?
