Michelle Monaghan 'craved' return to The White Lotus hairstyle
Michelle Monaghan has been "craving" a return to her White Lotus hairstyle.
The 49-year-old actress - who played TV actress Jaclyn Lemon in the third season of HBO's anthology series - loving going blonde for the show and matching her co-stars Carrie Coon (Laurie Duffy) and Leslie Bibb (Kate Bohr), although she had to go back to brunette after filming due to other commitments.
However, she told PEOPLE magazine: "I'm craving that change again and that transformation. I just wanted to be lighter and brighter for this summer.
"I'm really excited to shed the brunette once again and get to play around with being blonde."
Michelle doesn't necessarily want to match Jacyln's look, and she's keen to find a balance between that and her usual style.
She added: "I don't think we'll be as blonde as Jaclyn, but I think we'll be somewhere in between."
She'll be getting some help from Goldwell colourist Kirby Lago, who thinks a "buttery, warm" vibe is best.
Kirby told the outlet: "I'm creating a really soft hazel base and then really popping it with some buttery warm blonde tones. It'll be really nice on her skin tone."
She explained that she's using a range of Goldwell products to help, including the "really luxurious" SilkLift range, and both the Bond Pro and Bond Pro II.
She added: "That's the thing with blondes now, hair needs to look glossy and healthy. Gone are the days of really over-processed blondes that are a matte porous texture.
"It's really important that the hairstylists are taking the steps to nourish and look after the hair as it's lifting.
"Now all of a sudden it's, 'Wow, I can go this blonde and it can feel soft and touchable and shiny and I don't need to put [extensions] in. That's a win-win for everybody."
Meanwhile, Michelle was surprise by the way the trio's blonde looks caught on with The White Lotus fans.
She said: "[Show creator] Mike [White] was like, 'I really want all of you to be a big blonde blob.'
"Which is why he wanted me to go blonde. We had no idea that the blonde, [Leslie's] bob, all of the things would take hold in the way that they did."

Eric Dane vows ALS won't be 'the end' for him
Eric Dane doesn't feel his ALS diagnosis means "the end". The 52-year-old actor announced in April that he is battling the incurable degenerative condition - which is formally known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and impacts the nervous system and causes muscle paralysis - but he is trying to be optimistic, even though there is no escaping the reality of his health issues. In a teaser clip for an interview with Diane Sawyer which will air on Good Morning America on Monday (16.06.25), he said: 'I wake up every day and I'm immediately reminded that this is happening. It's not a dream.' At another point in the brief footage, he added: 'I don't think this is the end of my story. I don't feel like this is the end of me." At the end of the trailer, Diane asked Eric who his first call was after he received his diagnosis, causing him to grow tearful and bow his head, with the clip stopping before his answer. The former Grey's Anatomy star - who has Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13, with wife Rebecca Gayheart - has continued to work on Euphoria since his diagnosis. Announcing the news in April, Eric told People magazine: "I have been diagnosed with ALS. I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter. "I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of 'Euphoria' next week. I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time." ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease - after the baseball player of the same name who was diagnosed with the condition in 1939 - and is the most common form of motor neurone disease. The average survival time after diagnosis is three years, but some ALS patients with a slow-progressing form of the disease can live much longer. Physicist Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with the condition at the age of 21 and he lived until he was 76. Eric and Rebecca married in Las Vegas in 2005 but the 53-year-old actress filed for divorce back in 2018. However, she filed paperwork in March to have the petition dismissed. Shortly before Eric went public with his health crisis, Rebecca insisted they are closer than ever. Speaking to E! News, she explained: "We are best of friends. We are really close. "We are great co-parents. I think it's important to not look at a relationship that ends as a failure. It's just a season. It wasn't a failure. It was a huge success. "We were married for, I mean, we are still married, but together for 15 years, and we had two beautiful kids so I think that's a successful relationship, and that's how we look at it."

Renée Zellweger would return to her iconic role as Bridget Jones if given the chance
Renée Zellweger would return to her iconic role as Bridget Jones if given the chance. The 56-year-old actress first brought Bridget Jones to life in 2001's Bridget Jones's Diary, reprising the role in Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason in 2004 and Bridget Jones's Baby in 2016. She has now told The Hollywood Reporter: 'I keep my fingers crossed that (author and Bridget Jones creator Helen Fielding) might want to share some more of her own experiences through the world of Bridget.' Bridget originally appeared in newspaper columns for London's Independent before blossoming into a bestselling novel series and then a film franchise. Renée added about where the movie series is at: 'My understanding was that this was kind of it, but I keep my fingers crossed that she might want to share some more of her own experiences through the world of Bridget.' Mad About the Boy expanded the Bridget Jones universe by introducing new characters, including Chiwetel Ejiofor's Scott Walliker, a teacher at Bridget's children's school, and Leo Woodall's Roxster McDuff, Bridget's younger love interest. At the February New York City premiere for Mad About the Boy, Renée reflected on the supposed end of the franchise, telling People: 'We've been forging this friendship for over 25 years together through this journey, shared journey, Bridget Jones' journey. 'It was both wonderful and really sad.' On whether the film marked Bridget's final appearance, she added: 'That's what I understand. That's what Colin (Firth) said.' Helen, now a parent to teenage girls herself, explained the ongoing appeal of Bridget Jones to younger generations: 'There is a new audience for Bridget in amongst 15- to 25-year-olds, and it doesn't require neuroscience to connect that with the effect of social media. 'As a parent with a houseful of teenage girls, I know how reassuring it is to share the feelings around these things and to laugh together about the issues.'
