“It’s fun to change things up,” Hayden added, “and I feel I don’t have to overcompensate as much personality-wise when I have red hair as I do with blonde hair.”

Sometime Sex is fun and everyone should experiment with porn
Mariah Carey recently proved that she could be a prankster too—the crooner left hubby Nick Cannon stunned when she called his radio show and acted like a porn-crazy woman.
The singer introduced herself as Debbie from Long Island during the prank phone call to the New York show Rollin With Nick Cannon on 92.3 NOW FM.
Then she declared that she was a fan of adult films and went on to list their benefits.
"Me and my husband have a very good time when we watch porn and I don''t think it''s bad. I think if it was bad it wouldn''t exist! And I think that everyone should experiment with porn!” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.
"I mean Nick, come on, you know you look at porn! Tonight when me and my husband look at porn, I already know it''s gonna be a humdinger!" she added.
Cannon soon caught on and quickly announced, "Ladies and gentleman, this is how hilarious my wife is. This is Mariah Carey calling the station talking about porn!"
Carey joked, "I don''t even know what you''re talking about! All I''m saying is stop talking bad about porn!"

Taylor Swift rides high into Grammy night
Taylor Swift has been playing in the major leagues only a short time, yet her trophy case would make even the New York Yankees jealous.
Think that's an exaggeration? Consider that 20-year-old Swift has received 78 major award nominations and won 48 times since breaking through in 2006. This includes winning six American Music Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards and five Country Music Television Awards. Back in November, Swift, then just 19, took home five Country Music Association Awards — including the genre's most prestigious prize, entertainer of the year.
Now, she stands to add to that total — in a big way — with nominations in eight categories Sunday night at the 52nd annual Grammy Awards. Swift (who previously had but one Grammy nomination to her name) has the second most nominations of the night, trailing only Beyonce's 10, and they include three of the biggest fields — record, song and album of the year.
Not that awards shows are the only forum for Swift's success. Her two CDs, "Taylor Swift" and 2008's "Fearless," have sold millions of copies and she's scored more Top 40 singles than any other female artist this millennium. She's also quickly proven to be a legitimate draw at the gate, as her ongoing "Fearless Tour" — set to touch down April 11 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose — has been drawing capacity crowds across the country.
"It's a meteoric rise not unlike what we've seen in recent years with the likes of the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus," remarks Rob Evans, editor of TicketMaster's music news Web site, LiveDaily.com. "What's interesting about Swift, though, is that it's easy to picture her playing concert halls for years and years."
Indeed, Swift seems unlike anything else we've seen in pop music history. There have been acts — especially those that appeal to a younger demographic — that rise from seemingly nowhere to dominate the charts (and often fade equally as fast). There have also been musicians who have won big at award shows or earned rave reviews from critics. Yet, it's hard to name anyone other than Swift who has so quickly managed to accomplish both.
Swift was first embraced by country crowds that cheered on her debut single, the 2006 ode to hunky cowboy "Tim McGraw." Her music then began to spread via the Internet — rare for a country artist — and was eagerly gobbled up by non-country listeners. In particular, she connected with Hannah Montana fans, young teens and early twentysomethings, who had no problem identifying with the personal lyrics and stories in her mostly puppy-love songs.
"I think Taylor's advantage is that she is a singer-songwriter," says Nate Deaton, general manager of the Bay Area country music station KRTY 95.3 FM. "A lot of people try to relate to that 13- to 25-year-old audience. Well, it's pretty darn hard to relate to that audience unless you are one of them.
"Swift wrote her songs from that perspective, and I think that's what appeals to the audience. It's believable because it doesn't come from a 35-year old."
With that crucial younger demographic and a solid country following at her feet, Swift then went on to conquer the rest of the world. Her songs quickly crossed over from country radio to garner much airplay on other formats, and soon millions of pop fans were singing Swift's praises. Critics, traditionally skeptical of anything so overwhelmingly endorsed by the general public, also fell under Swift's spell.
Geoffrey Himes, the noted writer who has organized the Nashville Scene publication's annual Country Music Critics Poll since its inception in 2000, was joyous in recounting what it was like to see Swift in concert.
"I caught the first show of her summer tour at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland, and I was astounded all over again by her improbable combination of good writing, good singing, good looks and strong presence," he wrote in the essay accompanying the most recent critic's poll. "Maybe she's had some vocal problems on award shows, but on that night in June she sounded like the best thing to happen to American pop music in a long time as she delivered one of the truest songs about adolescence ('Fifteen') I've ever heard."
Regardless whether Swift wins big at Sunday's Grammy Awards, her biggest challenge will be in trying to sustain her popularity as she — and her fans — graduate to adulthood. That's no easy task for a young act — just ask Hanson, Debbie Gibson or Tiffany— but it's one that Swift seems well prepared to handle.
"Though she's still very young, she's already a veteran performer, and she's already a songwriter," Evans says. "To develop a deep fan base, it's important to put the work in, and she's put the work in. Her publicity machine has been amazing, but her music seems more personal and less disposable than that of many of today's other young stars."

Miley Cyrus supports suicide prevention campaign
Hannah Montana actress Miley Cyrus is lending her support to a suicide prevention group to help land them a 625,000-pound grant.
The 17-year-old star shot for a video calling out fans to vote for the To Write Love On Her Arms organisation to win the Chase Community Giving program.
“I don’t think people really realise what a problem (suicide) is and how many people really struggle with depression and end up taking their lives for it, especially so many young people out there so I think it’s really important we all get involved,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying.
“The money will go towards the launch of a live online crisis network which will be really amazing for all these people that just need a family and community.
“I think it’s an amazing cause and I really want everyone to go out there and get involved,” she added.
Aniston, Butler in a raunchy photoshoot
After sparking rumours of revived romance, Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston and Scottish actor Gerard Butler have set tongues wagging with a raunchy photo-shoot together.
The pair will appear on the cover of US fashion magazine W in its future edition. The pics, taken in the desert outside LA, reveal slender Aniston in skimpy underwear while burly Butler poses as a leather-clad New York policeman.
The 40-year-old former Friends star and The Ugly Truth star Gerard, also 40, put on a flirty display at the Golden Globes last weekend, fuelling speculation that time spent filming upcoming thriller The Bounty Hunter together has led to an off-screen affair.
And the images are sure to provoke yet more comparisons between Aniston and Jolie, who posed with Brad Pitt for the magazine in 2008.
“For two days Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler were in the desert outside LA creating these really hot pictures. The result is the raciest cover in the history of W. Those pictures of Brad and Angelina? Forget it,” the Daily Express quoted a source at the magazine as saying.
“Jen has a natural and effortless sexiness compared to Angelina’s very stylised look. And you have Gerry who is just the epitome of a manly man, dressed in a cop uniform. These photos will do nothing to quell the rumours of their romance – quite the opposite in fact,” the source added.

Billie Piper Feared For Son
Billie Piper feared for her son's life at Christmas.
The 27-year-old actress was left terrified when Winston - her 15-month-old child with husband Laurence Fox - struggled for breath and was unable to get answers from medical experts as to what was wrong with him.
She said: "We really panicked, he was having trouble breathing, I had quite a big fright with him... they wouldn't tell us what it was."
Billie also admitted that she and Laurence are undecided as to whether have more children and says she finds motherhood a struggle.
She told British TV talk show host Jonathan Ross: "It's probably too soon to think about having another but you always have it in your mind once you've had one. We were considering an only child, but it sounds a bit cruel.
We really panicked, he was having trouble breathing, I had quite a big fright with him... they wouldn't tell us what it was.
"It's tricky at times... I'm a competitive mother."
Meanwhile, Billie - who shot to fame aged 15 with single 'Because We Want To' - insists she has no plans to ever return to her music career.
She said: "I don't have a great voice, I was basically a charlatan, just faking it really."

Courtney Love strips off on Twitter
Rocker Courtney Love has posted topless pictures of herself on the website Twitter so that her fans can have a look at her new tattoos.
The widow of rock legend 'Kurt Cobain' showed off a series of flowers dotted around her body while protecting her modesty with a hand over her chest.
Love also uploaded a photo of her wincing under the needle with the tattooist at work.
The singer, famed for her yo-yo dieting, looked very slim in the snaps with a flat tum and skinny arms.
Love had recently lost the legal guardianship of her daughter Frances Bean Cobain, 17 and reports suggest that the singer is relapsing into her drug addictions.
As if that's not enough to deal with, the 'Malibu' star has also been busy defending her right to release new album Nobody's Daughter under the name Hole.
Love is insistent on using the name, despite recording the album without any former 'Hole' members.
