Michelle Obama, the glorious and always fashion-forward First Lady, has been showing up to her events this past week with what looks like a new pixie haircut but it seems we have all been duped. The press secretary for the White House claims it is just a clever updo. Tricky, tricky. We should have known, Mrs. Obama is the queen of mini makeovers. Check out the tricks she has done in the past to update her 'do. Well, real or not, we think she looks totally adorable with the chop.

I know I shouldn't care if guys like my smoky eye look or the beachy hairstyle (made famous by this celeb) that I try everyday to master, but I just can't help it. Sorry mom! I know you always told me to embrace the looks I was born with and only do what makes me happy, but some of the time, okay, a lot of the time, I might just want to make the opposite sex happy (pathetic, I know).

Season six of HBO's "Entourage" premiered Sunday night starring the usual gang led by actor Adrian Grenier as Hollywood star Vince Chase, but many viewers noticed the smokin' hot gals taking over the mainly male show.

I think these ladies, especially rising star Emmanuelle Chriqui, may steal the show as time goes on.
