Jessica Simpson opts for 'new and youthful' hair colour
Jessica Simpson wanted to do something "new and youthful" with her hair.
The 'Use My Heart Against Me' singer showed off her "desert sunset blonde" look - dirty blonde with sunkissed highlights - on 'American Idol' over the weekend and her colourist Rita Hazan explained the 43-year-old star was keen to "switch it up" and couldn't be happier with the results.
Rita told People magazine: "The must-have in my kit that I use on all my clients is Glaze's Supergloss. For Jessica, we used the shade Vanilla Lights — her perfect match to tone down brassiness in her highlights.
"It delivers a rich, shiny payoff, and a silky, polished finish that leaves hair looking refreshed and healthier after just one use.
"She was so happy to get a new look and switch it up. She always had a super buttery blonde — this time we wanted something new and youthful.
"I think it's a fresh and young vibe, but with confidence and a slight attitude to represent her mood. We have been in each other's lives for so many years that there's personal and professional trust."
Rita has worked with Jessica for years and they kick off their sessions with a "hair party", in which they exchange gossip and share a laugh.
She said: "Usually I fly in from New York, and we have a hair party in her bathroom with a few of the same people every six weeks.
"First, we catch up on life for a quick second, and then continue to laugh and tell very personal stories about what we all got into for the month. It's actually hysterical. I don't think there was one time I went there and didn't laugh hysterically."
Jessica recently explained she has "no rules" when it comes to her fashion inspiration, though she often gets ideas from online pinboard Pinterest.
Discussing her latest Walmart for Jessica Simpson Collection, she told People magazine: "For me, personally, style evolves as I do on a personal level, through each stage of my life.
"That's the inspiration for my music right now ... Nashville Canyon is an evolution of past, present, future, versatility, femininity, openness and confidence.
"Anything from a vintage printed wallpaper in a movie I am watching or a performance piece displayed in an old documentary.
"Everyone who knows me knows I am observant. I never miss a detail. Inspiration comes at me in visceral ways, every single day. And I honestly don't know what I would do without Pinterest."

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."

James Blunt hoped godmother role would help Carrie Fisher
James Blunt asked Carrie Fisher to be his son's godmother in the hope the honour would encourage her to "look after [herself]" better. The You're Beautiful' singer lived with the late 'Star Wars' star in the early 2000s while recording his debut album 'Back to Bedlam' and they remained close over the years, so when he and wife Sofia Wellesley welcomed the first of their two boys into the world, he asked Carrie to take on a special role in the youngster's life. And James revealed there was an underlying motivation in asking his friend - who died in December 2016 aged 60 after going into cardiac arrest, with drugs found in her system during post-mortem tests - to be godmother. He told People magazine: 'I told her everything. I told her when I met my wife, we chose engagement rings together. She's godmother to my child. I was with her the day before she died, and it was very, very sad. 'What was saddest, I suppose, is how I asked her to be godmother to my child, saying, 'I'm asking you to do this in the hope that you'll look after yourself a little bit better.' And she didn't, really.' James first met Carrie when he was dating one of her family friends and during a group lunch in London, he told the 'Sibling Rivalry' actress he was a musician and planning to head to Los Angeles, but when he admitted he didn't know where he was going to live, she instantly invited him to stay with her. He reflected: 'It was remarkable. The first three months, I didn't speak to her. I literally didn't. Her mom, Deborah Reynolds, was on the property. I'd see them around, but I would leave in the morning. I'd go off to the studio. I'd come back late, late, late at night, and I just didn't speak to her.' But after three months, the 51-year-old singer went into the kitchen late at night and found Carrie's staff talking about the actress, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 24. He recalled: 'They were saying, 'She's having an episode,' and that she was going mad. She needed to change her medication and maybe they needed to get help. 'What was interesting about all of this, while they were talking about her, she was in the room.' From there, James and Carrie began chatting and quickly became firm friends. He said: 'I just could see she was just skipping between subjects rather quickly, [but] her brain was still working. "Suddenly, we just had this kind of moment where I went and sat on the end of her bed, and she spoke to me until five in the morning. "And the next day, I came in after the studio. I sat on the end of the bed, and we spoke until five in the morning, and we kind of did that for the rest of the time that she was alive. She became my best friend, really, at that stage."

Simon Cowell wants son to take over America's Got Talent
Simon Cowell's "dream" is for his 11-year-old son to take over 'America's Got Talent'. The 65-year-old star - who has Eric with partner Lauren Silverman - is celebrating 20 years since the reality show began and not only can he see it running for at least another two decades, he hopes to keep the programme in the family and have his only child take his executive producer title one day. He told People magazine: "I'm now looking at the next 20 years of this show - where does it go next?" "And because it's so open to anyone, I really do have this feeling that whether it's me or whether it's Eric, my son, you're going to be having a conversation with us in 20 years time saying, 'Well, how was the 40th anniversary?' Because I can't imagine this show not being on now." Simon admitted he has already "hinted" to Eric that he'd like him to follow in his footsteps. Asked if he has spoken to Eric about working on 'America's Got Talent' in the future, he said: "I haven't really had that conversation. I've hinted at it. "Fortunately like me, he loves these kinds of shows, which is a good start. I think he'd actually be a really good producer." Simon is also a judge on the show but he isn't convinced Eric would be as keen to take that role too. He said: "I don't think he'd be comfortable on camera, but that could change. I don't know. "But if he wanted to, I would definitely encourage him to produce. "I would love that. I mean, that would be my dream." Despite thinking ahead to his successor, Simon has no plans to depart 'AGT' any time soon because he's still really excited by the quality of the contestants. He said: "[The] level of talent generally has just got better from when we first started to now. "If I didn't feel that was the case, then I would just say, 'Well then, that's it. We've had a great time and thank you very much.' "But you always go after you finish a season, 'Now I can't wait to see who's going to come on [next] season' ... that's my motivation still, and I'm still really, really enjoying it." Simon also reflected on how "empty" his life would feel if he didn't have his son - and admitted fatherhood has had a positive impact on his work too. He explained: "You realise that there are other things more important actually than your career. I know it sounds corny, but I mean, it is the truth. "If I wasn't where I am in my life today, I think it would feel quite empty. "I guess I wouldn't be complaining, but I wouldn't be the same. I've definitely, definitely changed since I became a dad. I mean, big time. "[Being a judge on 'America's Got Talent'] got easier since I became a dad, because as Eric got a little bit older ... I suddenly started to watch acts through his eyes thinking, 'Would he like that?' Because you want your kids and their friends to love the show. "So when he comes down with his friends, they're having the best time, and that's a great feeling."
