Beauties: Sharleen Spiteri

I don't think I've ever been as excited about a celebrity haircut as I am about Katie Holmes's bob. (And yes, I realize what a pathetic sentence I just typed.) I have a feeling this might be what liberates her from Scientology. A good haircut is just that powerful. Click the thumbnail image to see her in all her chopped glory.

If you're familiar with British pop music, you may find bobbed Katie reminds you of Scottish band Texas's lead singer Sharleen Spiteri. Sharleen has been in my top five list of hottest females ever for a few years now, with her compelling mix of androgyny and intense femininity that's off the scale. She's so beautiful that my heart almost stops looking at the woman. Also, looking at pictures of her just now, I realize that I've wanted my current haircut ever since I saw how Sharleen - a former hairdresser - rocks short hair. (If only I could stand to have long bangs hanging in my eyes!) Ooh, here's something cool I just found out:

She wrote and performed the title track to the 1990s sitcom, "Ellen", and once appeared alongside Ellen DeGeneres in the opening credits.

Sharleen is hetero, but has a huge lesbian following, which she has embraced. And I mean EMBRACED. (How cool is that video?) Those of you who are Alan Rickman fans might enjoy the video he appeared in with Sharleen for Texas's song In Demand. She also looks amazing in the video for Say What You Want (the one where Method Man raps on the track is better). Her hair puts in a great performance in the Black Eyed Boy video, too.

I think my favorite might be the Halo video, filmed in Tokyo.

She's so pretty
Her hair is a mess
We all love her
To that we confess...

It is so nice to see short hair in a soft, flirty. The extremely short, spiked cuts are alright, but softer cuts are more versatile.

I love Katie's new bob. She looks so amazing and edgy now, before she used to look very...blah.

Yes, Katie's hair is gorgeous! My hair is almost in the same style but growing out. It's still short enough and a soft enough cut that she doesn't have to do a lot to style. Which is just fantastic.

Also, I agree about Sharleen. I'm a huge Rickman fan and that was the first time I ever heard of her or the band, Texas. Absolutely loved the video. *heart flutters*
