BlindGossip – A few years ago, it seemed this actress was cast in nearly every project. However, after an initial burst of fame, she wasn’t very discriminating about which roles she picked. A few bombs later, she fell out of the limelight. Wanting to make a comeback with a strong new look, she cut her long hair into a shorter, more contemporary style. Bad move. She was now too boyish looking to land anything. So she had hair extensions put in using a glue bonding process to return her to a more feminine look. Prior to one audition, she made the mistake of using a hot iron to straighten her hair. During the audition, she ran her fingers through her hair a little too roughly and pulled out a couple of the extensions right in front of the director. She was left standing there with a fistful of hair and a very red face, babbling about how she couldn’t understand how this could possibly happen when she paid so much money for the extensions, etc.
Michelle Williams
Isn’t her hair still pretty short? I don’t think she looks like a boy at all – just too delicate looking!
sienna miller. she was all over the place a few years back but aside from g.i. joe recently she hasn’t been in the limelight much. her hair was really short a while back but it’s long again. and i think “burst” and “bombs” are clues about g.i. joe. – plus she’s a blond like in the pic.
and by not in the limelight i mean film-wise. she’s certainly been in the tabloids. but the blind implies limelight as in movie success, i think.
Sounds to me like you got it, anon.
she did “burst” into tears publicly at the paparazzi. it wuz reported.
She looked ADORABLE with the short hair! Remember, she played Edie Sedgwick in “Factory Girl” with that short hair.
What about Goopy Paltrow?
That was my first thought, too.
She dropped off the radar for a bit after having the kids, but she was in Ironman (500M) and is filming Ironman 2, so it aint’ her.
The first part of the blind suggests Nicole Kidman. The rest sounds like someone a lot younger.
Whoever it is, I hope she is smarter, if given another chance.
Nicole Kidman did film a bunch of movies from 2004-2008, but most bombed or just did alright at the box office. She does not deserve the $10-$20M price tag per film at this point since she is not a box-office draw. She should only be part of a cast.
Sienna Miller, definately.
selma blair.
great guess!
Did Mandy Moore have short and then long or long and then short hair, I don’t remember…
I think Miller is a good guess.
Rachel McAdams
Agreed.
Rachel Mcadams didn’t have any bombs! – she did two small indie films – most indie films don’t “dominate the box office” – and she was in state of play and opened time traveler’s wife – which did very well at the box office – and she is in sherlock holmes in december – i holdly think she has hard time getting roles – and she is tooooo gorgeous to look like a boy ever!
i do agree with you point now that you say it. i thought of her new movies as a recent comeback, but i think you are correct. what about keira knightly? she used to be in a lot of movies and was only recently in the duchess. She also had her hair short at one point?
I remember when Keri Russell cut her hair and everyone was talking about it…maybe her?
She was my first thought, too. That haircut was a COMPLETE disaster!
Kiera knightly
Nope. Try again
Atonement made $129M two years ago. Her next movie, another period piece, The Duchess, made $43M in 2008.
Kerri Russell – caused quite a stink when she cut her famous curly-cue locks
no way. the hair she has (and has had) is her own. She was on screen growing it out after she cut it for 2 years.
Renee Zellweger
“Prior to one audition, she made the mistake of using a hot iron to straighten her hair.”
This implies that the woman in question has naturally curly hair so it could be Renée Zellweger. Most of them use extensions so this is a hard one to work out. lol
EDIT I mean could NOT be Zellweger. lol
Mena Suvari
Oh that’s a good guess too
Ooh yeah – her hair was really short – didn’t she shave it for a film or something?
Yes! I like this guess!
What about Ashley Judd?
What about Hillary Swank? She chopped all her hair off for Amelia. I think she had a few bad movies after Million Dollar Baby.
I know this isn’t it but I’ll go with Anne Heche…
Still don’t think it’s her… but she does use hair extensions and just started recently…
“”"”
ANNE HECHE sat in a chair while a former professional soccer player from Israel drew dots on her scalp with a black marker. Piny (pronounced PEE-nee, one name only, like Cher) of Beverly Hills has been a guru of wigs and hair extensions since he started here in 1975: He created John Travolta’s flowing mane in Pulp Fiction.
“It’s like having a toolbox I never knew existed,” Heche said, holding up a strip of long blond hair. “Since I’m doing publicity for these two roles now, it’s important to look how I do as these characters.
I’ve learned that it’s jarring for people to see what a chameleon I am.”
“”"”

The picture looks like Chloe Sevigny but she doesn’t fit, IMO.
What about Jessica Simpson?
Demi Moore
I am going to go with Elisha Cuthbert
This was my first thought! Except, her filmography looks pretty sparse for someone being once in demand, but she definitely looked like a boy when she cut her hair.
What about Kate Bosworth?
that’s my guess too
Lindsey with her nasty extensions?
Heather Graham
Hayden P.
What about Katie Holmes?
easy – Mena Suvari – http://cm1.theinsider.com/media/0/88/30/mena-suvari.0.0.0×0.397×596.jpeg
I wouldn’t say she looks boyish – more soccer momish. (an advanced apology for those soccer moms out there).
how about now ?
http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2007/startracks/070827/mena_suvari.jpg
That’s her?! Jeez… Ok my doubts have gone, this blind is definitely about Mena, that is one drastic haircut.
didn’t she have her hair buzzed for a role?
I think its Miller or Suvari. What ever happened to Ashley Judd? I liked her. She was really big for a moment.
She’s doing a master’s in public policy at Harvard. I heard an interview with her just a couple weeks ago. Probably doesn’t have much time for acting at the moment.
Could be Sienna or Mena, could also be Alicia Siverstone.
Ashley Judd is in grad school at the Kennedy School of Government – Harvard.
Got in the old fashioned way like Dubya.
LOVE this comment, even though I rather like her!
Ashley Judd is a graduate of the University of Kentucky, and she’s actually quite bright.
Lohan obvz
The first line says she was cast in nearly every project. None of these names really fit that, do they? Even with it being an exaggeration, these women were never THAT busy that I can remember. Miller seems closest, but I have no clue.
I was thinking Cameron Diaz while reading the item.
The pictures BG used remind me of Sienna Miller.
Scarlett J was my first thought.
Ummmm, there is no way on EARTH that Scarlet is EVER going to look like a boy, lol!
Since when was Sienna Miller “cast in nearly every project”?
Well, despite my initial thought being Hilary Swank, I’ll go with the Mena Suvari guesses – I’m sure I read something a while back about her somewhat randomly getting extensions and, boyish aside IMO, the blind does seem to be describing her to a tee with her IMDB appearing to support this too.
Jennifer Aniston
Did she ever cut her hair? She doesn’t look like a boy, either. A hose, yes. A boy, no.
ROFL
Oops, that was supposed to be “horse”.
But whatever, lol.
A horse should look so good. She looks healthy as a horse, however. But I wish she’d give up her reported habit of puffing those “cancer sticks”.
YES it has to be Mena Suvari. She did shave her head and it was in a pixie cropish cut. If you look up pictures of it. She looks like a man, or more like a dykish chick. IT’S HER
Sienna Miller is on Broadway at the moment. Michelle Williams has been in a couple of indie films.
I will go with Mena Suvari
The picture looks like Amy Smart to me!
Meg Ryan went real short for awhile..so, thats my guess
Her short hair was her trademark in the 90s though. Wasn’t there a blind about an actress messing up her lips so bad that no one wants to cast her? I think that was her.
Meg is a good guess
I’ll try again. Hilary Swank?
Boys Don’t Cry (Boyish and Cry)
Bomb could be The Core (nuclear bomb)
Land could be Amelia (ie land a plane)
Not sure what burst is from.
Her hair seems to be related to roles. She looks busy on IMDB, so probably not her.
Charlize Theron
first thought was Miller too…
Kiki Dunst?
like this answer. she was in that stupid tennis movie. wtf
I’m going to go with Christina Ricci on this one.
This one. Her hair was really short but I saw a very recent picture of her with blond longer hair.
what about Natalie Portman? She did V for Vendetta…
That hair reminds me of Lindsay’s straw hat. She would totally look like a boy if she cut her hair off. And she was EVERY WHERE when she was 17/18. She is a mess. I feel bad for her.
she is currently blonde right now.
Folks,
Doesn’t this have Anne Hathaway written all over it?
Anne Hathaway is working/has future projects lined up . . . I think different ideas’ guess of Amy Smart is interesting. I remember that she was, indeed, getting lots of jobs a while back and I recall hearing her name and seeing it in print often, but not knowing who she was and couldn’t pick her out of a crowd.
But, Gwenyth Paltrow fits for me cuz she did the “baby mama cut off all her hair thing”, then reappeared with the long hair, legs, etc.
