There’s bad hair days, and then there’s very bad hair days. And unfortunately Paris Hilton has suffered the latter. The socialite is being sued by Hairtech International Inc., which makes the Dreamcatchers hair extension line that Paris fronted at the beginning in 2007 for $35 million after it claims she was spotted sporting a competitor’s fake locks in 2008.
And it’s also going that step further in a bid to win the suit alleging the heiress missed a launch party for a new product in 2007 because she was in jail.
If the company gets its way it will get more than 10 times what it paid her to sponsor the brand.
Paris’s attorneys said in a statement: “There is no merit whatsoever to any of these claims. We will pursue all of our defences vigorously and any potential counter claims.”

Their wives may wear his Topshop clothing line, but now it seems politicians also want a piece of Topshop mogul Philip Green.
The Arcadia boss has been hired by Prime Minister David Cameron to conduct an efficiency review into the government’s annual spending bill over the next three years.
He will work with the government free of charge to set out to cut inefficiencies and identify potential savings.
Green told the Guardian: “I believe that our shared experience in the procurement of many goods and services, across a broad geographical area of the UK will enable us to have important benchmarked information which will be extremely useful.
“I will give this efficiency review my very best effort knowing how hugely important it is to the recovery of the country. I want to help focus, motivate and energise to achieve these efficiency savings. It is these actions that will restart growth in the UK.”
Green will report his findings to the minister of the Cabinet Office Francis Maude and chief secretary to the treasury Danny Alexander in October.
We wonder if we’ll be spotting any of these politicians in Topshop or Burton suits in the future.

Get out those broomsticks and form an orderly queue ladies, because it seems wizard of the moment Daniel Radcliffe is looking for a date.
Speaking to gay magazine OUT, the Harry Potter star revealed all on work and romance and also told the magazine why he needs a date, despite all the rumours that he was seeing producer’s daughter Olive Uniacke.
“At the moment, I’m just being single and running around chasing girls. I’m not getting too many responses, but, yes, I’m having a go. I’m also starting to go on dates for the first time.
“It’s quite nerve-racking because it’s not something I’m used to. I get quite wound up about that beforehand. I just try to make girls laugh. That’s really the only thing I’m particularly good at on dates,” he told the magazine.
And we’re sure he’s not going to be short of these considering how hot and smoldering he looked in a grey vest and black jacket on the magazine’s front cover.
Do you think you could be Daniel’s magical girl? Tell us why by leaving your comments below.

Autumn trends are beginning to sneak into the highstreet, with puffball sleeves, tweeds and camel colours making subtle appearances against the sale rails.
Although we’ll be bringing you a range of galleries showcasing the ultimate autumn must-haves, we thought we’d give you a little preview and what better way to start than with this the aviator trend.
Those of you who have been following catwalk trends will know that the aviator style is going to be a huge must-have this season. It made a big appearance at the Burberry A/W 2010 catwalk show (below), where the British designer showed off a range of bomber style jackets with fur in a range of different lengths (think Top Gun style and you’ll know what we mean.)
Make this look a key item in your wardrobe with this cute jacket from Geox, which comes in at an affordable £329.

Her hairstyle has been one of the most talked about topics this week and last night Emma Watson decided to show it off a little bit more.
The starlet stepped onto the red carpet to promote the 100 day countdown for the first part of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, which hits cinemas in November.
And of course, she also took the opportunity to show off her noted fashion sense, opting for an on-trend lace playsuit, which of course she pulled off perfectly.
The star who has been replaced by Rosie Huntington-Whitely as the face of Burberry is rumoured to have cut her hair in a bid to win the lead part in the upcoming film Girl with The Dragon Tattoo.

Could Gossip Girl soon be saying goodbye to Blake Lively? If the rumour mill is to be believed then sadly yes.
According to Marie Claire, the starlet who has influenced many a girl’s hairstyle and plays style siren Serena van der Woodsen in the series, is said to be considering leaving the show, to concentrate on making her name in film.
But it won’t be a nice end to Serena if Blake gets her way. She’s asked producers to kill off Serena.
A source told Marie Claire: “Execs aren’t convinced they’ll let her go but ideas have been thrown around. Suicide is one, though it’s likely to be an accident.” We hope it’s not a fatal fall caused by her heels.
“It was great at the beginning, but she’s started to get bored of her storylines and all the petty fights on set,” the source continued.
“Nearly all the cast members have had some kind of bust-up. Besides the fact that she gets to work with her boyfriend, Blake wants to leave.’”

If we’d told you last year that Miley Cyrus was auctioning off her clothes for charity, you may have told your little sister and thought no-more of it.
However, with the star’s outfits becoming raunchier and including see-through sundresses, $25,000 corsets, and mesh leotards you’ll be as excited as us to hear that you can get your hands on some of these.
According to MTV the 17-year-old singer is clearing out her closet and auctioning them off on eBay to raise money for Get Ur Good On, a social network charity that connects youth with volunteer and service opportunities in their communities.
Miley said in a video on eBay: “For me, I get this amazing blessing and opportunity to do this every day and get up on stage and hopefully inspire people with my music.
“And that’s something that’s really important to me, but so is getting involved in charities.”
Happy bidding ladies.

Rihanna is no stranger to funky hair trends.
She’s been spot
ted with it dyed pink and bright blonde and girl’s around the world have sported her trademark short cut.
But she’s also lucked out with a few styles, the mohican being one of them. And we’re not too sure about the star’s latest red colour. Yes it suits her funky fashion sense and makes her stand out from the rest of the pop crowd, but we can’t help thinking it may be a little bit too much.
We’ve therefore decided to get your opinion on this. Is it funky or a failure?

Scarves have been hot this season, and they’ll be hanging around into next season too, which is great news considering how easy it is to accessorise plain outfits with these.
And it seems Hermes agrees with our fetish for these. The designer fashion brand, which is more known for luxury items, has teamed up with funky French store Colette to launch a website called J’aime Mon Carre, which translates as “I Love My Scarf.”
However, unlike it’s traditional brand style, the site has gone all modern on us featuring colourful pictures of hip and cool girls sporting the scarves on the street and giving us ideas on how to wear them. This includes as turbans, headbands, belts and, obviously as scarves.

Glee fans, we have two very exciting pieces of news for you today.
Not only will the hit series be returning but Britney Spears will also be staring in her very own episode.
Speaking to Ryan Seacrest on Kiss FM, Glee boss Ryan Murphy confirmed the pop-princess would definitely be making an appearance.
“I will give you a little scoop, which is that Britney will 100 percent be on the episode, which is exciting. She’s going to come and join us and do a couple scenes,” he said.
However, it’s not yet certain whether Brits will be playing herself or getting right into a role.
“I don’t know yet,” said Mr Murphy.
“The fun thing about the way we’re doing [the episode] is all the Britney Spears numbers are fantasies.
We can’t wait to see Brits in action, we think her singing and performing is perfect for this role.

Could Emma Watson be the next Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? If rumours are to be believed then the answer could be yes.
Yesterday we speculated that the starlet had rebelled at being replaced by Rosie Huntington-whiteley as the new face of Burberry but it seems we were wrong, with the gossip grapevine now claiming that the Harry Potter starlet is in the running to play the lead in Hollywood’s anticipated adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, and this is why she had chopped her locks off.
The star has reportedly been screen tested for the biggest vacant role in Hollywood with sources telling The Sun: “Emma has auditioned with director David Fincher and cut her hair to look the part.”
“The character of Lisbeth is a misfit goth-type girl with spikey hair.”
However, Emma is just one of the starlets running for this part with Carey Mulligan, Natalie Portman and Kristen Stewart all said to be wanting to be the next dragon tattoo lady.
Who do you think would make the best girl? Leave your comments below and let us know.

At last, denim manufacturers are finally waking up to the fact that we all come in different sizes. After conducting research that found shape is more important than style or size when choosing well-fitting jeans, Levi’s has decided to launch a range of curve friendly jeans.
Curve ID, which launches later this month, will consist of three customised fits and a range of different styles including Slight, Demi, and Bold as well as with different rises and back pocket placements. There’s also high waisted styles to coincide with the a/w 2010 trends.
Company president Robert Hanson said: “One of the most frustrating things for women is that they are not finding the right jeans for their body.
“This is particularly a women’s issue because of the diversity in body type. Men tend to wear jeans that are a little less shape-enhancing, and most men don’t want to have a discussion with you about shape and they really don’t care.”
We’ve been moaning about this issue for a good few months now and we’re really pleased that someone’s woken up to the fact that we’re not all the same size. Come on retailers, follow Levi’s lead.
