Have you ever made a drastic change to your hair and ended up hating it? Not a great feeling. But have you ever done something extreme to your look and ended up loving it? Cameron Diaz recently debuted her new ‘do and we are trying to decide…yay or nay?

Some people are “bang people”. Check out some examples of celebs who we think look better with bangs in the photo gallery!

Cameron Diaz has an interesting method for catching some z's on airplanes. The "Bad Teacher" star was spotted wrapping her head mummy-style in a black cashmere scarf on a 7 a.m. Virgin America flight out of JFK to L.A. Wednesday. A source tells us Diaz justified her eccentric sleeping habits because "she feels so vulnerable asleep in public as a celebrity." When Diaz was awake, our insider says, the newly single star carried on a conversation in first class with singer/songwriter Blake Ian and mentioned that she had just come into town to see her friend's newborn.

Gaga goes undercover

Lady Gaga needs a better disguise. A source who attended the after-party for funk god George Clinton's Apollo Theater show on Tuesday night says the Fame Monster strolled into the Inc. Lounge in the Time Hotel around 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday with a black "draped hood" obscuring her face.

Alas, Gaga's blond bangs and "very high-heeled" black boots soon had guests whispering that She was among them. The insider says Gaga sat at a small table in the corner and kept her back to the crowd, which included Clinton's P-Funk band and CBS "Late Show" band leader Paul Shaffer.

Gaga wasn't anti-social, however. She approached bassist Bootsy Collins - whose outrageous outfits make Gaga look like a Republican - for a photo and obliged those who asked her for a snap. The insider says her group left around 1:30 a.m., but returned at 3 to play pool in the private back room.

Blake's a bargain-hunter
 
Blake Lively likes a bargain. During her visit to Boston last weekend for Ryan Reynolds' 35th birthday, a source tells us the "Gossip Girl" made a Sunday visit to Marshall's in Dorchester, Mass., a working-class suburb known for its particularly high murder rate. There, a fellow shopper says Lively went to "town" in the discount store, dropping approximately $500 at the cash register. Another source spotted the 24-year-old actress, who has previously proclaimed her love of cooking, "buying lots of groceries" at Shaw's grocery on Huntington Ave. in downtown Boston. That's not far from Reynolds Back Bay abode. Birthday dinner, Ryan?

Potty humor on-stage

"The Fartiste" is aiming to blow away Off-Broadway audiences. The musical that chronicles the true story of famed French flatulist Joseph (Le Petomane) Pujol - whose renowned rear end made him wildly famous more than a century before Kim Kardashian - opens Nov. 4 but will be anything but sophomoric, says the show's creative writer Charlie Schulman. "It's not about fart jokes; we've transcended farting musically," he tells us. Starring Kevin Kraft as Pujol, Schulman tells us the production will encompass the flatulist's repertoire, which included impersonating barnyard animals and playing instruments via his derriere in "a musical spectacle as thrilling as what the original Pujol did." Talk about tooting your own horn.
 
Tucker gets no sympathy

Brett Ratner isn't crying any tears over his "Rush Hour" star Chris Tucker's tax problems. On Tuesday night, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons and his GlobalGrind website feted the "Tower Heist" director and producer Brian Grazer at PH-d atop the Dream Downtown hotel. There, we asked Ratner if he planned to extend a helping hand to Tucker, who reportedly owes $11 million in back taxes to the IRS and faces foreclosure on his Florida home. "Nah, he doesn't need help," the impish Ratner told us. "He's got seven more houses." The director did tell us, however, that he wanted to see the standup routine that Tucker has fashioned from his tax troubles. Also at the party were hip-hop artist Nas, venture capitalist Vivi Nevo, actress Gabourey Sidibe, "106 & Park" host Rocsi Diaz, R&B singer Ryan Leslie and LaLa Anthony.

The former couple talk about joining together to make the hilarious R-rated comedy 'Bad Teacher' (now on Blu-ray and DVD) -- a film about a super-sexy and naughty teacher (Diaz) and the substitute teacher (Timberlake) she wants for her gold-digging own.

Hilarious, original and wonderfully naughty, Bad Teacher (now on Blu-ray and DVD) stars the former real-life couple of actress Cameron Diaz and platinum-plated pop superstar/actor Justin Timberlake, as well as funnyman Jason Segel. In an exclusive chat with the one-time lovebirds earlier this summer, Cam talks about her Bad Teacher character -- a foul-mouthed, ruthless, pot-smoking teacher -- they each discuss the dry humping and the car-washing scene in the film, they recall their own favorite teachers and Justin explains what it's like to be on Saturday Night Live four times already and how well his sketches go over with the crowd...

Cameron, I love the fact that your character was motivated to get a boob job. Was it fun to just have the wrong self image?
DIAZ: "Completely. Because obviously if I thought that I could get somewhere with having bigger boobies I would have done it by now. But for her, it's everything. It's called hard economic times. have you ever heard of this? You can't find a millionaire the way you could three, four years ago before the crash. So it's like a lot of work for her now. So it's an investment. Suze Orman would have been like, 'Girl. Five year plan.' You know what I mean? So yeah. She's working hard for those. She knows that to get what you want you have to have a goal. And her goal is to invest in her business and get a pair of tits."

And, lately, to find a sugar daddy, too? That's night right there?
DIAZ: "It's really -- what's that? Oh, none of it. but I'm not judging, clearly. I'm not judging. But the thing about it is if we really believed this was the right thing to do we wouldn't be making fun of it, right? So, yeah. So it was really fun to make fun of it because clearly, especially living in this town, we all know what it's like to sort of come up against people who have their priorities a little screwed up and focus on the wrong things."

What was the average age of the boys you worked with?

DIAZ: "Fourteen year old boys. I love them."

TIMBERLAKE: "Yeah, you do." (laughs)

DIAZ: "I do. I love it, yeah, so, no, it was really fun to be able to sort of go to work every day and have a gang, a team of people all on the same wagon going towards complete and utter distaste. And throwing everything out the window. It was fantastic. We had a lot of fun doing that. "
Have you had any memorable teacher? Not necessarily a bad teacher but somebody that really stood out either because they were odd or because they were good or bad. Any stories about them?

DIAZ: "Everybody has better stories than I do."

TIMBERLAKE: "I had a teacher in seventh grade who told me I should have more realistic goals than being a songwriter and singer or performer because my schoolwork was suffering. And you can quote me on this directly to her. Suck it."

DIAZ: "I had Mr. Fujikawa in sixth grade. He used to come in after the weekends and tell us about his three-year-old son that he would spend the weekends with and how wonderful it was to have a child to pass on knowledge to and how you want to encourage them. and how to also teach them life's lessons as he sat with his feet literally kicked up on the desk talking about how wonderful it was this weekend that his son was starting to walk. And how gratifying it was that when he took the four steps up the porch to get to the top to the front door as he got to the very top last step he would pull on the string that he had tied around his leg to bring him back down to the beginning. To help him get back up the next four or five steps. And I just thought that was the most amazing, like I laughed so hard when he told that story. Everybody else was like, 'Ah', and I was like, 'That's awesome'. Of course I can relate very well to it. but, yeah, it was very- that to me was somebody who helped form and shape me, really. Honestly."

TIMBERLAKE: "I feel like these three stories really explained who we are as adults."

DIAZ: "Exactly."
Cameron, I think you have achieved in creating the most iconic dry humping scene in cinema history. How fun or silly was it putting the scene together?

TIMBERLAKE: "It was definitely weird putting that together. Well, I think we created the only dry humping scene ever seen in a movie."

DIAZ: "It was absurd."
TIMBERLAKE: "I would like to say that (director) Jake (Kasdan) had -- he wasn't literally between us but figuratively he was there."

DIAZ: "He was our humping coach."

TIMBERLAKE: "He was my humping coach. I've got to say there's nothing wrong with a good jean jam."

DIAZ: "I kind of feel mostly proud of some of my moves."
TIMBERLAKE: "I'm serious. I don’t know why that's funny to you guys. But also we felt collectively, the both of us, that we had a responsibility. And that was to the young people who are going to buy tickets to, I don't know, Transformers the second week, and go see this movie because they're underage. It really is a public service announcement for safe sex."

DIAZ: "You can't, you know, when you've got the denim on denim."

TIMBERLAKE: "Nobody ever got pregnant with their jeans on."

DIAZ: "So, totally promoting that."
T

IMBERLAKE: "Yeah."

DIAZ: "That's pretty much the only message that's in the movie that we're proud of. Other than that it's completely- there's nothing else. It's just, we thought, 'Well, you guys look. We shouldn't just be making a movie about nothing that is of any importance or is like, you know, if we're going to try to be role models in any way we should offer up least a jean jam.' At the very least."
TIMBERLAKE: "And it is the jamming."

Yeah.

TIMBERLAKE: "Man, they've got to figure out a way to pay teachers more. That's my opinion of it. They actually are like surrogate parents away from home and in doing the junket for the last couple of days, I've kind of come across the realization that, in hearing everyone talk about, because we've constantly gotten the question, 'Have you had a bad teacher when you were younger?' And I get why you guys ask us that because it's a little hook with Bad Teacher. Yeah, I get it. But you keep coming across this idea about how we started talking about it and found that the teachers that we actually learned more from were the ones that were kind of like taught us life lessons more than trigonometry. And, so yeah, I me there's such a huge responsibility and they're underappreciated and underpaid. So that's my opinion about teachers."
Was it difficult to get a project about a sexy teacher since there are so my teacher hooking up with their students? Did it restrict the story at all?

DIAZ: "So many of them. The one thing that Elizabeth (Cameron's character) doesn't do -- one like she doesn't cross is take on a seventh grader. You know what I mean? That's the one thing she doesn’t do. Thankfully. I don't think I would be down with that. That would be a different movie, clearly. That would just be a completely different movie."
She doesn't really inflict any lasting damage on the kids.

DIAZ: "Nothing their parents haven't done to them already. You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying?"

TIMBERLAKE: "Is this for a 'Bad Teacher scandal' story?"
You have done great in films like There's Something About Mary and Very Bad Things. And the movie Bridesmaids is doing well at the box office and your movie is coming out soon, It looks like the time for women behaving badly and funny in movies is now. Can you talked about how that has changed over the years and what your commitment to doing that is?

DIAZ: "My commitment to it?"

Yeah.

DIAZ: "It's pretty obvious. You know women have always behaved badly. I think probably worse than men. Maybe men just don't have the stomach for it. They don’t want to see it on film because they just can't take it. I mean any of my guy friends when I start to tell them what women really talk about and what really goes down they're like, 'La, la, la, la, la, la, la'. They don’t want to hear it. It's like, plug their ears. They can't take it. So maybe it's just at this moment is the time for women to come."

TIMBERLAKE:" I'm sorry. Did I miss something?" (laughs)

DIAZ: "Okay, sorry. There's a lot of those films now. I think that people are willing to sort of laugh at those things altogether now. And to know this script, this movie would have been just as hilarious with a man, a male role, you know. It being a male role. As a female, which I think is kind of great because it just goes to show that humor- that you can make something funny for everyone. And so, yeah, I think that we can find a lot of similarities in what we laugh at. I haven't seen Bridesmaids yet so I can't wait to see it. I've been out of the country and it's not open in England at the moment. So I actually don't know the humor of the Bridesmaids so I can't really speak to that. But I think people are just willing to take a chance. And I think the studios nowadays are willing to --formulaically we're tired of kind of seeing the same old thing, the same old thing. And after awhile it just doesn't work anymore. And this is a business. And we want to make some money. And we want to make things that work. And I think they're taking a chance at different things. So that was like, you know, the worst answer in the world. But that's cool. You'll do something with it."

TIMBERLAKE: "As a male, who actually enjoys hearing those dirty things that women say, I think funny women have been around forever. Like Carol Burnett, Madeline Kahn. I mean there's always been genius, genius female actors in comedy."

DIAZ: "That's true."

TIMBERLAKE: "I also think that we live in an age where technology has afforded a generation a lot more of a crass look at the world. The Internet is a really strange place to be. And I think the level of what we can kind of understand about brash humor mixed with all these different elements, I think with all types of movies like The Hangover and things like that, I think we're -- people like Jake and directors who step up and say, 'We want to push the envelope but in a way that we know can get laughs'. That always fuels the engine. But also it is great that, like Cameron said, that's the coolest thing about this movie is that this lead role, it's a great thing to see a female that can do it and do it as well as Cameron does it."

How do you think car wash would scene would have worked? Cameron, would you have played it differently or like a nightmare if was basically a woman's wet t-shirt car wash? Does the fact that guys are there make a big difference?

TIMBERLAKE: "Yeah, I've been waiting to be asked that question. I feel like I nailed it. I mean a lot of people don't know this but I'm just going to tell them. About what we did."

DIAZ: "Okay."

TIMBERLAKE: "I choreographed the car wash scene. That will also be on the DVD extras. There's a behind the scenes look at."

DIAZ: "Yeah. In his shorts. In his Daisy Dukes, as well."

TIMBERLAKE: The shot of the black and white hitting the car, that- Jake just- there was a police car that came by and Jake just literally saw what was about to happen and had the DP pan the camera over and we just caught some reality. So, prefect."
Justin, it looks like you're in line to join the five timer's club on Saturday Night Live -- if you haven't already. What makes a host a good fit for SNL? Do you ever meet up with the other Five Times like Alec Baldwin and Tom Hanks?

TIMBERLAKE: "I've hosted four times. The season finale was just my fourth time. Although it does seem like more because when I'm in New York City they can't keep me out of 30 Rock, which is probably annoying to them on some level. I grew up with 'SNL'. It is an institution. It is part of the humor and chemistry between me and my father, who- I come from a divorced family and didn't get to spend a lot of time with my father when I was young. And it's something that we share that is really special to me. And growing up with that show it was just an institution. I mean I remember staying up late. I mean it was really bad parenting because I was too young to be watching some of the jokes that were on SNL but, hey, I turned out okay. But I'm just such a huge fan of ht show. And to be honest, I'm here do talk to the press because of SNL. I have no doubt in my mind about that. I owe getting a shot to be in Bad Teacher with these genius comedians and comediennes directly to SNL and Lorne Michaels for letting me be there and rock out with..."

DIAZ: "Your 'Dick in a Box'?"

TIMBERLAKE: "All I got. And I mean can we just say that, that is a thoughtful Christmas gift?"

DIAZ: "It is. I think so."

TIMBERLAKE: "I don't know, I feel like..."

DIAZ: "The smaller the bow, the bigger the package."

TIMBERLAKE: "That's true. That's true. Yeah. Trim your bow, gentleman."

TIMBERLAKE: "Yeah. So I directly owe any opportunity that I ever get on film to be in a comedy to 'SNL'. So I'm so thankful for that show as a kid and as an adult."Cameron, you said you character gets some tough advice and it's not necessarily what most people would approve of. Would you rather see adults give kids more realistic advice of is it better to protect them and say, 'Yes, you can,' when you know you really can't

DIAZ: "No, I believe that you should always be honest with kids. You're doing a disservice to, not only the child but to society if you're breeding a child that doesn’t have the tools to cope in the real world. And so I'm a very direct, you know, I told the kids when they all showed up to set. I was like, 'Yeah, so your parents let you do this, right? You know what's going to happen? You think you do but you don't. But just be ready. Be aware. We're not holding back. We're not sugar coating any of this. I'm not watching my language. If you don't like it. If you guys have a problem you can leave. It's fine.'"
Jason Segel said you all told him there was no Santa Claus. Is that true?

DIAZ: "But I let them keep the Easter Bunny."

TIMBERLAKE: "Yeah. But after that everything was uphill. Don't use your face and take this dodge ball hit."

With her supermodel looks, Cameron Diaz often gets overlooked for her acting versatility. While "Bad Teacher" will be ignored on Oscar night, she once again exceeds expectations with her all-in comic portrayal of a trashy, selfish, scheming junior high school teacher.

Hard-partying Elizabeth Halsey would rather be anywhere but working at John Adams Middle School, and she doesn't hide it. She avoids her fellow teachers and has even less time for her students. She just wants to find her wealthy future ex-husband and retire young.

She quits her job when she lines up a sucker, but he wises up just in time, forcing her to return reluctantly for a second year of teaching. Hung over in the morning, she enters her classroom late and immediately turns the lights down. Her lesson plans consist mostly of playing movies for her students. In a nice touch, she shows them good-teacher movies "Stand By Me," "Lean on Me" and "Dangerous Minds."

For contrast, director Jake Kasdan ("Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story") goes the easy route by making the rest of the school staff as sweet as pie. In over his head is the fair-minded principal (John Michael Higgins), who can't quite figure out how to bring Halsey into line. As the teacher across the hall from Halsey, Lucy Punch finds her unsolicited suggestions firmly rebuffed. Phyllis Smith (TV's "The Office") proves easily swayed. And Jason Segel (TV's "How I Met Your Mother") adds a much-needed regular-guy perspective as a gym teacher who keeps getting rejected by Halsey because he's, well, a gym teacher.

Crude and rude Halsey does develop some ambitions, as shallow as they are. Her problems will be solved, she thinks, if she can just save up $10,000 for breast implants. But how? A rich new substitute teacher (Justin Timberlake) could become her sugar daddy. Or she could win a $5,700 teaching bonus, but that means stealing state test answers so her class can post the school's top score.

It's a little silly and a lot raunchy, and the ending defies credulity, but it's a winning combination for audiences. The 2011 film cost $20 million and made $201 million at box offices worldwide. Thomas Lennon and Shaker Heights native Molly Shannon have supporting roles. The film is available in the 92-minute, R-rated theatrical version and an unrated, extra-raunchy, 97-minute version. DVD and Blu-ray extras: deleted scenes, outtakes and two featurettes. The Blu-ray version adds an interactive yearbook and three more featurettes. From Sony. Released Oct. 18.

They may not have been around for Studio 54's glory days, but Cameron Diaz, Naomi Campbell and Bar Refaeli made up for it at the iconic club's relaunch last night. The three beauties attended the 70s-era nightclub's One Night Only party in New York City and cuddled each other close for photographs. None of the ladies looked particularly disco friendly at the event. In fact, all three dressed in fairly plain, monochromatic garb.

Cameron, 39, opted for a black ensemble with a simple chain while Israeli model Bar, 26, looked even more low-key in a simple white T-shirt, a dark bra barely visible underneath. Naomi, 41, was the most fashionably dressed of the women in a layered peach frock. Other guests at the event included those who were actually present for the club's heyday, like Keith Richards and wife Patti Hansen.

His daughter, 25-year-old model Alexandra, also attended looking rather sedate in a long black dress and leather jacket. Ryan Phillippe, 37, who's reportedly the father of model Alexis Knapp's newborn daughter, was caught at the event arriving alone. Martha Stewart, Bethenny Frankel, Gayle King, Donald and Melania Trump, Stephen Baldwin and Kevin Bacon were among the other stars who took a trip back in time to the disco days.

Original Footloose star Bacon, 53, fondly recalled his favourite days at the club known for its famous revellers and crazy shenanigans. 'I started coming here when I first moved to New York. I remember standing right out here and hoping I would get pick,' the actor revealed to Entertainment Tonight. 'I was just a kid. I came here all by myself, and danced by myself and had a great time.'Given the huge grins of the guests at One Night Only, not much has changed.

Cameron Diaz has been single, for what, a month now and Gwyneth Paltrow is already trying to hook a girl up. It’s been reported that Paltrow is playing matchmaker, sorting through her high profile friends until she finds the perfect fit for Diaz. He latest pick was Jude Law. Now trying to not be so obvious about her intentions, Paltrow supposedly arranged for Diaz to see Law in Anna Christie at the Donmar Warehouse. But it wasn’t the 38-year-old British actor that caught Diaz’s eye.

Rumor has it that during the play’s intermission Diaz was overheard telling friends: “Jude was brilliant but the real star was Ruth Wilson as Anna. I couldn’t take my eyes off her.”

So maybe phase two of Paltrow’s plan won’t go as planned. But hey, Paltrow’s always got a few good backups in the bag. Like say, that personal trainer or maybe that nutationist, or even that vocal coach. You know, all good guys. Want to connect with other Politics Ologists?

And who can blame her? Hot couple alert! The Daily Mail reports that Gwyneth Paltrow invited Cameron to see Jude Law in the play, ‘Anna Christie’, because she wants the two to meet and hook up. Yeww! Good thinking, Mrs Paltrow.

Cameron’s off with her on-again-off-again beau, Alex Rodriguez and Jude is well and truly a single man after splitting with long-term girlfriend, Kate Bosworth in February. But did Cameron already spoil her chance with the ladies’ man?

During the play’s interval, she was overheard saying: “Jude was brilliant but the real star was Ruth Wilson as Anna. I couldn’t take my eyes off her.”Pfft. Small hiccup, we say! After all, what’s a relationship if it’s not built on honesty?

Cameron Diaz is reportedly hoping to win Justin Timberlake back from Jessica Biel. But would she just be dating JT for revenge?

Cameron is currently on the rebound from A-Rod, who broke up with her around the same time Minka Kelly and A-Rod's BFF Derek Jeter called it quits. But since Minka and Derek have been spotted together again, it wouldn't be surprising to see A-Rod follow suit by taking Cammy back. However, she's reportedly interested in her other playboy ex.

Cameron and Justin managed to be civil post-break up while working on the movie Bad Teacher together, and it didn't seem like any sparks flew between the two as they kept everything strictly professional. However, now Star Magazine is reporting that Cameron Diaz wants Justin Timberlake to dump Jessica Biel for her.

She's reportedly been calling Justin to tell him how much she misses him and to feed his ego. However, Justin just started working things out with Jessica, so Cameron's attempt at reconnecting with her ex might be in vain.

And maybe she's not really that into Justin anymore -- she might be trying to get back with him for revenge. Cammy infamously confronted Justin about Jessica Biel at a Golden Globes party in 2007 when she discovered that he was flirting with Jessica. So if Cameron sees Jess as the reason she lost JT back then, she might be trying to turn the tables on Jess by getting him back.

Cammy and JT already reportedly met for dinner back in September, and now they're planning to meet up again. However, both girls might just be better off without Justin -- he's rumored to have hooked up with Mila Kunis, Scarlett Johansson, and Olivia Munn, so he's probably not ready to settle for one starlet anytime soon (he's about to be promoting his movie In Time with Amanda Seyfriend and Olivia Wilde, so Jessica might already be feeling a little bit anxious).

Actress Cameron Diaz, who recently split from baseball star Alex Rodriguez has reportedly bought a house here. "Cameron has been out and about a few times since moving in. She's been going to Starbucks a fair bit to get coffee. She's been walking down the road without a care in the world while blokes have been literally falling over themselves as she strides past. It's so funny to watch," contactmuisc quoted a source as saying. Diaz new property is close to her friends Gwyneth Paltrow, Stella McCartney and Jude Law's house.

The Something About Mary actress has snapped up a flat in N-Dubz's old stomping ground, Belsize Park in north London.

It's just down the road from Jude, whom she had a fling with after they starred in The Holiday. Cameron has moved into a plush flat in the area and has been getting to know her way around. She won't be short of boozing buddies around there.

Along with Dave, best pal Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Moss are all down the road, while Gail Porter is just a stone's throw away. And if they're not about, there'll be plenty of blokes willing to treat her to a pint and some Scampi Fries in the local.

A source said: "Cameron has been out and about a few times since moving in. "She's been going to Starbucks a fair bit to get coffee. She's been walking down the road without a care in the world while blokes have been literally falling over themselves as she strides past. It's so funny to watch."

The Hollywood A-lister is going to divide her time between Blighty and the US, although she can spend far more time here now she's split with New York Yankees baseball star Alex Rodriguez.

After spending last week in Belsize — hanging out with Gywneth and Stella McCartney — she's gone back to New York in case she needs to reshoot scenes for new film What To Expect When You're Expecting.

She's seen above getting a juice after a workout in the gym. She can afford to lay off the weights now she's a UK resident. Blokes over here aren't as keen on a muscly woman. Just look at Jodie Marsh.
