Blake Lively wants to wash consumers hair for them
Blake Lively wants to wash other people's hair.
The 'Another Simple Favour' actress launched her haircare brand Blake Brown last year and she'd love to be able to get hands-on with her consumers in order to teach them how to use the products properly.
She told People magazine: "People don't use hair masks. They know about them, but they really treat it like a specialty, highly concentrated thing. They think, 'Oh, well it's more concentrated, so if I'm going to use a big handful of conditioner, I'll use a dime size amount of a mask.'
" I want to wash everyone's head for them and say, 'No, use as much mask as you would conditioner.'..
"I wish I could be in people's showers and in their homes because I like that we have products that aren't everything that you see on the shelf because why create a company just to create another company? If they exist out there and someone else is doing well, I have no reason to do it."
The 37-year-old actress - who has four children with husband Ryan Reynolds - uses "absurd" amounts of product on her own hair but understands why people are apprehensive about trying something they're not entirely sure how to use properly.
She said: "I'm somebody who uses a lot of product, so I like products that are user-friendly that you can build and you can get your hands on.
"And I think that getting people comfortable with being able to really use a higher quantity of product, because I think that when it's something that people aren't as familiar with, people don't use mousse as much anymore. They don't use masks as much anymore...
"I think people who love mousse they're like, 'Oh my gosh, this is so exciting.'
"And then people who don't know mousse as well, there's definitely, there's a bridge in educating people on how to use it. I think people, when they think about mousse, they think about scrunching curls or they think that it can be crunchy.
"But for me, how I get volume is mousse. I mean, it's everything to me. And I use so much mousse, I use absurd amounts. It quadruples my hair and then some."

Billy Joel attempted suicide twice
Billy Joel attempted suicide twice in his early 20s. The 76-year-old singer "felt like a homewrecker" after he had an affair with Elizabeth Weber while living with her, her husband Jon Small - who Billy was in a band called Attila with - and their son and when the truth emerged, the Piano Man hitmaker embarked on a downward spiral. In new documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes, People magazine reports Elizabeth - who later reconnected with the singer and they were married from 1973-1982 - said: "Bill and I spent a lot of time together. [It was a] slow build." Billy confessed to Jon that he was "in love" with Elizabeth. He added: "I felt very, very guilty about it. They had a child. I felt like a homewrecker. I was just in love with a woman and I got punched in the nose which I deserved. Jon was very upset. I was very upset." Their fight ended Attila and the friendship between the two men, Elizabeth left and Billy started drinking. He reflected in the film: 'I had no place to live. I was sleeping in laundromats and I was depressed I think to the point of almost being psychotic. "So I figured, 'That's it. I don't want to live anymore.' I was just in a lot of pain and it was sort of like why hang out, tomorrow is going to be just like today is and today sucks. So, I just thought I'd end it all." At the time, the Uptown Girl singer's sister, Judy Molinari, was working as a medical assistant and had passed on sleeping pills to help her brother to rest. She tearfully said: 'But Billy decided that he was going to take all of them… he was in a coma for days and days and days. "I went to go see him in the hospital, and he was laying there white as a sheet. I thought that I'd killed him." Billy noted he was "very selfish" at the time and recalled eventually waking up in hospital thinking he wanted to make another attempt on his life, but this time to do it "right". Judy told how he drank a bottle of "lemon Pledge" and Jon took him back to hospital. Billy reflected: 'Even though our friendship was blowing up, Jon saved my life." Jon added: "He never really said anything to me, the only practical answer I can give as to why Billy took it so hard was because he loved me that much and that it killed him to hurt me that much. Eventually I forgave him." Following his second suicide attempt, the "lost soul" checked himself into an "observation ward" and the few weeks he spent there had a huge impact on Billy. He said: "I got out of the observation ward and I thought to myself, you can utilise all those emotions to channel that stuff into music."

Hollywood icons Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds become owners of Australia's SailGP team
Australia's ocean dominance has got a Hollywood upgrade as Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds became co-owners of the country's three-times champion SailGP team, now rebranded as the BONDS Flying Roos. The investment adds star power to the Australian outfit who have dominated the global sailing championship, winning a trio of titles in four seasons of the high-speed racing series. 'We're incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure,' Jackman and Reynolds said in a statement. 'Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country as well as being an avid fan of sailing.' The move comes just days after Oscar winner Anne Hathaway sailed into sports ownership, joining a female-led consortium who acquired the Red Bull Italy SailGP Team in what circuit CEO Russell Coutts called 'another significant milestone in SailGP's growth as a league'. Founded in 2019, SailGP pits national crews in identical 50ft foiling catamarans reaching speeds over 54 knots within metres of shorelines in iconic harbours worldwide. 'This is an incredible milestone for us and for our sport,' said Tom Slingsby, who serves as driver, CEO and co-owner of the Flying Roos. SailGP director Andy Thompson added: 'Today marks a landmark moment not just for the Australia team, but for the trajectory of SailGP globally,' highlighting the 'extraordinary combination of global reach, vision, commercial nous' the Hollywood duo bring. The newly minted Flying Roos will debut under their star-studded ownership at the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix on June 7-8, where they aim to defend their position atop the championship leaderboard.

Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds splash millions on Australian SailGP team in ‘landmark' deal
Don't miss out on the headlines from Sport. Followed categories will be added to My News. Australia's champion SailGP team has announced it has landed acting superstars Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds as new co-owners as part of a landmark deal. Jackman and Reynolds are joining Australia's team driver and CEO Tom Slingsby, who has also become a co-owner, while Australian underwear brand BONDS has joined as the team's official title partner. Likened to Formula One on water, SailGP pits 12 national crews in identical 50-foot foiling catamarans, ripping past 100 km/h just metres from shore in the world's most iconic harbours. SailGP is LIVE and Exclusive on Fox Sports, available on Kayo Sports and Foxtel. Led by Olympic gold medallist Slingsby, Australia has dominated the league, winning three championships in four seasons, and is now embarking on a new chapter aimed at supercharging fan engagement. Austrlaia's team will now be known as the BONDS Flying Roos, with the rebranded F50 boat unveiled ahead of this weekend's SailGP event in New York, where it will race against the backdrop of the Statue of Liberty and NYC skyline. Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds are new co-owners of Australia's SailGP team. Landing the Hollywood stars as co-owners and BONDS as a title partner is a major coup for the Aussies, who won the first three seasons of SailGP and lead the standings by one point midway though season five. Now 10 of the 12 SailGP teams are privately owned, with this being Jackman and Reynolds' first foray into Australian sport ownership. Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are the poster boys for the football fairytale of Wrexham FC, with the Welsh team progressing to the second-tier Championship following three promotions in as many seasons. Reynolds and McElhenney are also co-owners of the Alpine Formula One team as part of a 24 per cent investment group that includes their Maximum Effort Investments. Jackman and Reynolds commented: 'We're incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure. Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country as well as being an avid fan of sailing. 'He will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human along for the ride. Apologies in advance to Australia. No comment on whether we're writing this in our BONDS. No further questions.' 'This is huge not just for SailGP but for sailing as a whole,' Slingsby said. 'Having Hugh and Ryan come on board, it's going to allow us to take sailing to the masses. 'So many new fans are going to be engaged with SailGP, we're just so excited to have our ownership like this. 'The boat has been rebranded, I think it looks amazing.'

The BONDS multi-year partnership marks the first time the Australian SailGP team has had a title partner. President of BONDS Australia Tanya Deans said: 'We're thrilled to join forces with such an iconic duo and an adrenaline-fuelled sport ready for its moment in the spotlight. 'And how do you say no to Hugh Jackman? He's Australian royalty! As we set sail on this new adventure, the BONDS Flying Roos have one less thing to worry about – we've got their backs (and bums) covered.' Andy Thompson, SailGP Director said: 'Today marks a landmark moment not just for the Australia SailGP Team, but for the trajectory of SailGP globally. 'We're thrilled to officially welcome Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds as co-owners of the newly-branded BONDS Flying Roos, bringing with them an extraordinary combination of global reach, vision, commercial nous and no doubt plenty of fun along the way too.'

Australia is one of several SailGP teams to undergo ownership changes recently — French football superstar Kylian Mbappe is now an investor in France's team through his investment company Coalition Capital. Italy's SailGP team was recently acquired by a consortium of investors and sports industry leaders, as well as Oscar winner Anne Hathaway. The consortium is led by Muse Capital founding partner, Assia Grazioli-Venier, and luxury brand entrepreneur, Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo, with one of the world's most decorated sailors and SailGP icon, Jimmy Spithill, as CEO and co-owner. The Italian team CEO, Australian sailing legend Spithill, told the move into private ownership was a sign of SailGP's growing professionalism and global recognition. 'It's only in its fifth season and nearly all of the teams are now privately owned and sold,' Spithill said. 'You can't get entertain purchasing a SailGP team for anything less than $USD50 million (A$76 million). Well, north of that now. Australia''s driver Tom Slingsby is now a co-owner of the BONDS Flying Roos Photo: SailGP/Supplied. 'You look at the some of these incredible commercial partners now that are getting involved and some of the owners. 'We're not talking about people that are just passionate about sailing, they're in it from a business point of view and making a return growing value. 'It's just great to get that market feedback and because people have a lot choice nowadays so it's great to see people really see a lot of growth and future in SailGP.' SailGP's Chief Revenue Office Ben Johnson told the Joe Pomp Show this week some teams have a turnover of more than USD$10 million (A$15 million). Spithill is the subject of SailGP's first long-form documentary called Uncharted, to be released in July, tracking the Aussie's journey from Sydney to Hobart and America's Cup champion to USA's SailGP skipper and now boss of the Italian team. SailGP resumes this weekend in New York after the event in Brazil was cancelled due to issues with the wings on several teams' boats, meaning it has been months since the last event in San Francisco in March. Australia will be hoping everything goes smoothly after their wing collapsed in scary scenes during a race in San Francisco.
