THIS year has been a hair-volution for celebrity 'dos

THIS year has been a hair-volution for celebrity 'dos.

Britney has gone from baldy to blonde babe (thanks to some SERIOUS extensions).

Rihanna hacked her luscious raven locks in to a seriously sexy chop.

Amy Winehouse resembled the inside of a haybarn with her badly bleached blonde barnet (thank goodness she went Back To Black.)

And Lily Allen went blonde, pink, brunette, short, long, black .....

But it's not just the celebs going for a change.

The average woman has 26 makeovers in a lifetime according to Boots, and the biggest reason is to boost confidence.

With Xmas flu knocking most of us for six and the credit crisis hitting our purses, we figure a little confidence boost could be just what the doctor ordered.

So take inspiration from our favourite celebrity 'dos and don'ts of the year... and don't forget to let us hair your thoughts!

Britney Spears want's Madonna to join her on the road

Britney Spears has been trying to convince Madonna to join her on the road.

The Womanizer singer appeared on stage with the 50-year-old for her Sticky & Sweet concert in November.

And now Brit wants 50-year-old Madge to repay the favour when she goes on tour this year.

‘There has been talk of Madonna making an appearance and there’s so many places we could take that,’ says choreographer Wade Robson. ‘At this point the main issue is timing.’

Hot Britney Spears

Britney Spears has topped ET's annual Hot List.

The 27-year-old singer - who has achieved incredible success with comeback album 'Circus' - took the coveted number one spot in the list, made up of the stars who have received the most coverage and mentions on US TV show 'Entertainment Tonight' in the past year.

An ET writer explained: "From a historical election to surprising splits, sizzling romances and major comebacks, 2008 was a remarkable year for celebrity news."

Britney - who has got her life back on track following her public breakdown, in which she shaved her head and lost custody of her two sons to ex-husband Kevin Federline - was followed on the list by US TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey.

Rounding off the top five were Brad Pitt, US President-Elect Barack Obama and Brad's partner Angelina Jolie.

Other celebrities included in the top 20 were George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Jennifer Aniston, Will Smith and Miley Cyrus.

Britney: I wanna date JLS Toyboy

SHE is the resurrection and she is the light, so who can blame comeback queen Britney Spears for wanting to tip her pretty toe back in the dating pool?

It’s been all quiet on that front since creepy paparazzo Adnan Ghalib, 35, disappeared into the desert, although he seems to be reluctant to leave the scene completely.

So we’re happy to hear that Britney, 27, is channelling her attentions in a more positive direction and has set her sights on The X Factor’s JLS.

She said: “They are the cutest group of boys. I have the biggest crush on them and they were so polite and
gentlemanly. I want to date a British man.

“A British singer? Man, that would be cool.”

Wouldn’t it? And so we’re delighted to hear that Britney is putting her money where her mouth is.

After all, the only place she can control her own finances these days – since dad Jamie was put in charge of her estate – is in the realm of metaphor.

So we’re pleased to hear that she’s asked her people to fix her a date with Marvin Humes, 23.

Our source said: “Britney loves British men and was quite taken with JLS.

“Apparently she’d love to go out with one of them, a proper snowy, Mary Poppins-style date, and Marvin is the one her
people have mentioned.”

Hang on, does Britters actually want to date Dick Van Dyke, 82? Our mole added: “She adores the British sense of humour and thought it was wonderful when JLS performed Hit Me Baby One More Time in drag.”

And, happily enough, Marvin has split from his girlfriend of five years claiming he wants to focus on his career.

What could be a better career move than dating Britney Spears?

If he can deal with the Circus, that is.

Britney Spears' breakdown tour

Britney Spears' upcoming 'Circus' tour will reportedly be inspired by her breakdown.

The 'Womanizer' singer's run of shows will have an escapist theme which will see Britney - who has endured a turbulent 2008 - flee to the circus before emerging from the end of a rainbow following a thunderstorm.

A source said: "Britney is well aware of what a roller coaster she has been on and she is determined that her recent life is reflected in the shows.

"She thought the best metaphor to use would be the circus. Fans get to travel with her through her fall from grace and her eventual rehabilitation."

Britney, 27, famously went off the rails following the end of her marriage to Kevin Federline. She shaved her head in February 2007 and was hospitalised several times - most famously in January of this year when she refused to return sons Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two, to their father.

Since then, Britney's dad Jamie has taken on co-conservatorship of her affairs and she has begun to turn her life and career around.

Explaining how the performances will illustrate the last two years of the 'Toxic' star's life, the source added to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "The first act sees the miserable star run away to join the circus. This mimics her slide into unhinged behaviour.

"Her disturbing antics while suffering her meltdown are the focus of the second act, which takes place in the circus. She is seen having fun in this crazy world and falling in love with a circus freak."The final act focuses on Britney's salvation. She manages to prize herself away from the clutches of the circus to be reunited with her friends and family."Britney's world tour begins in New Orleans on March 3.

Britney Spears hates the constraints put on her life

Britney Spears admitted on TV earlier this week that she hates the constraints put on her life.

The singer’s father Jamie is in charge of her estate, finances and well-being and closely monitors everything she does.

But in private the 27-year-old singer has also complained about her lack of a sex life.

‘She has been celibate for months now and jokes to friends she may as well be a nun,’ a source says.

‘The constraints on her life are totally suffocating. She has been crying in private and putting on a brave face in public.’

Britney, 27, is also thought to have been put on a strict eating plan ahead of her world tour next year.

‘Every mouthful is being monitored,’ the source tells the Daily Express. ‘She’s on a strict no-sugar diet.’

Britney admits she hates working out at the gym

Britney Spears did a lot of exercise to get her body back in shape.

But she admits she hates dragging herself to the gym.

‘It isn't fun [for me], so to do it every day would be horrible,’ she says. ‘Three days a week is cool, even two.

'It makes me feel good and feel like I've done something. It's important to take care of your body.’

Britney found it difficult to tone up after having sons Jayden James, 2, and Sean Preston, 3.

‘I have had to work hard at getting [my body] back to where it used to be,' she says.

'I used to be obsessed with working out. But I can't get motivated right now because I'm so focused on my music.’

Britney handed over custody of the boys to ex-husband Kevin Federline earlier this year.

She now has two overnight visits with them each week.

Kevin Federline has revealed that having children took its toll on his marriage to Britney Spears.

The couple struggled to find time to spend together because they were so busy looking after Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden James, 2.

‘It's hard enough to be in a marriage, and then have a kid, then kids – it changes everything,’ he says.

‘For me, I'd become more concerned with my children. Not that I ignored Britney, but my kids are always most important.’

Kevin, 30, and Britney, 27, split in 2006. But he admits it was unexpected.

‘We were having complications,’ he tells People. ‘But I was trying to work stuff out with her and she didn't even talk to me and went behind my back and filed [for divorce]. [I was] completely blindsided.’

Kevin is also dad to Kori, 6, and Kaleb, 4, with ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson, 32.

The 27-year-old singer - who has wed twice before - is said to have been propositioned by her paparazzo ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, who she met up with in September.

A source said: "Adnan has been bombarding Britney with texts telling her he loves her, that she is incredibly sexy and the best thing that has ever happened to him. He has even asked her to marry him.

"Britney was taken aback. She and Adnan have amazing chemistry. But she knows he is bad news, and now friends and family are worried she will give him a second chance."

However, Britney has also received a proposal from hair salon manager Salvatore D'Angelo, who she was introduced to last month.

The source added to Look magazine: "Things couldn't be going better between Salvatore and Britney. Salvatore just came out with it and popped the question two weeks ago. He was at her place when he told her he has fallen in love and wants to marry her one day. Britney was thrilled but told him she has to concentrate on work and being a good mother to her two sons.
"However, she said if he still feels the same way at the end of next year, she will consider marrying him."

Britney Spears' UK shame

Britney Spears hid her face as she left the UK yesterday (30.11.08), after fans blasted her "disastrous" performance on British television on Saturday (29.11.08).

The 26-year-old singer donned a trilby, sunglasses and a hooded duffle coat in a bid to remain invisible as she returned to America after causing outrage by appearing to mime during her rendition of hit track 'Womanizer' on TV talent show 'The X Factor'.

Angry fans branded the appearance - which marked her first performance on British TV in five years - "an absolute disaster". Britney also reportedly angered show chief Simon Cowell by refusing to watch the contestants perform her songs on the programme, and banned show judges - Simon, Dannii Minogue, Louis Walsh and Cheryl Cole - from coming into her room to meet her.

A source said: "When the judges went to meet her, her security wouldn't let anyone past. You have never seen so many security guards. Even around the judges' dressing rooms was sealed off by Britney's security people."

Britney then further infuriated her British fans when she appeared at the G-A-Y nightclub in London to celebrate her 27th birthday but refused to take to the stage after being presented with a cake.

However, Britney's spokesperson Shoshanna Stone insists the singer had never agreed to perform at the club, adding: "Contrary to reports, Britney was never booked to perform or even appear at G-A-Y. She was invited to the evening but was never asked to perform.

"Following her incredible performance on 'The X Factor', Britney took up the invite and relaxed among friends."

The singer is expected to celebrate her birthday and the release of her new album 'Circus' with a performance on US TV show 'Good Morning America' tomorrow (02.12.08).

Mark Wahlberg's Britney blast

Mark Wahlberg doesn't want his daughter to look up to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

The 37-year-old actor - who has a five-year-old daughter Ella Rae, two-year-old son Michael and nine-week-old baby boy Brendan Joseph with fiancee Rhea Durham - wants to move away from Hollywood because there are no positive role models for his children.

He said: "We won't stay in Hollywood forever because it's very difficult to raise normal kids in an environment like that. And I was thinking there are no real role models for girls. You've got Britney Spears, you've got Paris Hilton - they're nice enough people but I don't want my daughter to aspire to be like that."

Mark - who can currently be seen starring in action thriller 'Max Payne', in which he plays a man attempting to avenge the deaths of his wife and baby daughter - also revealed he is more worried about being a good father than maintaining a successful acting career.

The 26-year-old singer loves playing the physically exhausting sport and would like a few tips from Los Angeles Galaxy player David to help improve her skills.

Britney - who can be seen in upcoming TV documentary 'Britney: For the Record' - also revealed she often gets annoyed at how much pressure she puts on herself to succeed.


She added to Britain's OK! magazine: "I'm such a perfectionist sometimes. It has its good points but then it has its bad points because you are never satisfied. I don't think you should ever be completely satisfied as they you are putting a limit on yourself.

"But you end up driving yourself crazy because you are never pleased with the finished product. You're always like, 'Well, if I had done it like this, then it probably would have been a lot better.'
