A truly daring star experiments with her hair for a film role or just because she wants to mix it up. But not everyone in Hollywood is so adventurous (could you see Angelina Jolie opting for a pixie cut? Probably not.)

Over the weekend, Miley Cyrus shocked fans by chopping off her newly blonde hair. Fans berated her on Twitter for taking the chance, and she responded with comments such "feel so happy, pretty, and free."

It is certainly liberating for a famous woman who is identified with a certain look to switch it up. In 2010, "Harry Potter" star Emma Watson revealed her newly shorn lock...

Most celebrities can't help themselves. They love the attention and they have beautiful bodies, so of course they show them off in teeny bikinis.

This summer we've spotted several stars in swimwear. Some like to post photos on Twitter after a break up (ahem, Heidi Klum), while others take advantage of the warm water in St. Tropez like Irina Shayk (above).

Still more celebs simply like soaking up the rays on the beach or poolside in the hot summer sun.

Check out some photos of this summer's sizzling bikini-clad stars...

Blondes may be beautiful but brunettes are just as sexy! Just look at Kate Beckinsale: she's a werewolf huntress, action star and all around bad-ass brunette.

Beckinsale is taking over Sharon Stone's role in the "Total Recall" remake and stars alongside another beautiful brunette - Jessica Biel.

Then there's Anne Hathaway, who slips on a sexy Catwoman costume for "The Dark Knight Rises." Meow!

These ladies draw just as much attention as their blonde counterparts - if not more so. Maybe stars like Blake Lively should consider going over to the dark side - even for a little while?

Intrepid young explorer Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson) traces a mysterious distress signal to a remote island that isn't on any map, and he embarks on a daring rescue mission while encountering a vast array of mythological creatures in "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island," a follow-up to 2008's "Journey to the Center of the Earth."

Joined by his new stepfather (Dwayne Johnson), an adventure-seeking helicopter pilot (Luis Guzman), and the pilot's headstrong daughter (Vanessa Hudgens), Sean navigates the crumbling stone corridors of Atlantis and comes face-to-face with bizarre life-fo...

Spring Breakers stars Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, and Rachel Korine heat up the pages of the June issue of Interview magazine wearing little more than the skimpy bikinis they wear in the movie, due out in 2013.

The four young stars discuss their new film, about a group of rebellious girls who rob a restaurant so they can afford to live it up during Spring Break - but end up getting busted by police and falling in with a drug dealer named Alien (played by a very Kevin Federline-esque James Franco).

Written and directed by Harmony Korine (Rachel's husband and writer of the...

Emma Roberts and Chord Overstreet made their relationship public over the weekend at the Coachella Music Festival. At one point the "Glee" star playfully carried Emma across the grass.

The pair began dating last spring but broke up after nine months together. Now they're not afraid to show off their rekindled romance.

Selena Gomez shared a cast photo from the set of Spring Breakers on Tuesday giving a first look at the film's bad guy, Alien - a gun & drug dealer who bails four girls out of jail after they rob a restaurant to go to Spring Break.

The character, apparently modeled on Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline , is played by none other than James Franco.

"This is where the trouble begins... ;) ps Rachel is sexy," Selena tweeted along with the pic, referring to co-star Rachel Korine (far right).

Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson and Heather Morris also star in the film.

We hope Vanessa Hudgens is wearing a wig on the set of her film "Spring Breakers" because we love her naturally brown hair.

We spotted the star taking a coffee break between scenes. Vanessa, Ashley Benson and Selena Gomez are currently shooting on location in Florida.

Stars who didn't attend the Academy Awards had several other parties to choose from on Sunday night. Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens were among those invited to the Elton John AIDS Foundation's Oscar viewing party at West Hollywood Park.

Vanessa, 23, looked sleek and sexy in a gold strapless gown while Miley, 19, opted for a grey and silver gown with a long train.

These ladies have come a long way since they got their start as Disney stars. Which look do you prefer?

Zac Efron and Lily Collins fueled rumors they are dating by spending Valentine's Day together.

The pair sparked speculation of a romance after they were spotted enjoying an intimate dinner earlier this month.

Actress Vanessa Hudgens spent two weeks in a homeless shelter as she prepared to play a pregnant teen living on the streets in new movie Gimme Shelter.

The High School Musical star also underwent a dramatic transformation to play tomboy Apple Bailey in the drama, hacking off her long hair and sporting fake piercings, and Hudgens admits the whole experience was an eye-opening one.

She says, "For Gimme Shelter, my character ends up at this pregnant, homeless teen shelter that's actually ran (sic) in New Jersey by a woman and I actually went and stayed in the shelter for two weeks before I s...

A film like Journey 2: The Mysterious Island is meant for one thing and one thing only – fun! Clean to its core with themes of unity, family and love, it's an exciting adventure tale.

Vanessa Hudgens had to rebuild her self-esteem after taking her role as a pregnant tomboy in new movie Gimme Shelter too seriously - and literally becoming the self-loathing character.

The High School Musical star underwent a dramatic transformation to play Apple Bailey in the film, hacking off her hair and sporting fake piercings. She also forced herself to feel "insecure" for three months during the shoot - but her intense preparations left her struggling to regain her confidence when the cameras stopped rolling.

Hudgens tells You magazine, "Apple is a really insecure character, so I wa...

Actress Vanessa Hudgens has confirmed her new tattoo is fake.

The High School Musical star showed off an inking of a Beatles lyric on her foot during a recent vacation in Hawaii, but she has now admitted the words were written with a pen.

She tells TV host Jay Leno, "It says, 'All you need is love,' which is true... It's fake. I have this mad obsession with drawing on myself, like, I cannot help it. I draw all over my hands, all over my arms, obviously my foot. It's just fun."

There are many trends in the fashion industry, and celebrities follow them obsessively. Often they take a similar look and add their own personal twists.

Check out the ladies above. Lace may be traditional and old fashioned, but these gals are anything but! Jenna Dewan, Selena Gomez & Ashley Tisdale all stepped out in the the same material with different interpretations. Jenna paired her white lace dress with a black belt and pumps.

Vanessa Hudgens and her boyfriend Austin Butler enjoyed each other and the sun while spending the day together at Los Angeles' Getty Museum.

We spotted them wandering around the grounds together soaking in the rays, holding hands, and dozing.

The museums current exhibition is "The Pacific Standard Time: Crosscurrents in L.A. Painting and Sculpture, 1950–1970." It charts the abundant artistic innovation in post-World War II Los Angeles.

We love seeing celebs get a little culture.

Lea Michele from "Glee"

...

Selena Gomez fought hard for a part in upcoming jail drama Spring Breakers because she was desperate to tackle a "very dark and very different" role.

The clean-cut actress will co-star with Vanessa Hudgens and Emma Roberts as college students who end up behind bars after committing a robbery in director Harmony Korine's next film. Gomez worked tirelessly to prepare for her audition with Korine, and took a flight across the country from Los Angeles to Tennessee to try out.

She says, "I watched all of his films. I had to fight for that role because I flew to his house in Nashville and wat...

Bad fashion doesn't take the holidays off. Here's what we were grimacing at while waiting for Santa to deliver our presents.

Helen Mirren has a beautiful body, especially when you consider her age. However, after showing up on our Fashion Fails of 2011 list, she didn't exactly improve on her outfits. This satin dress has way too much material - while it hugs her curvy body, the ripples in front are anything but flattering.

Paula Abdul should have left this cream colored, pinstriped pantsuit in a previous decade. Also, notice the blinged-out Pepsi can she's toting about. Pepsi was keen t...
