"Hey girl! You like my haircut? No, I'm not blowing you kisses--my lips just do that." OK, that last part was kind of mean, but Renee Zellweger's lips are a bit confounding sometimes. I'm actually liking the haircut--but that's because I have a special place in my hear for girls who aren't afraid to chop off their comforting locks in the name of trying something new. And she's happy with the other change she's made in her life--moving to NYC.

"I wasn't really into being followed around everywhere by six guys with two-way radios," says the Oscar-winning actress, who moved east in 2004 and now splits her time between N.Y.C. and Connecticut. "I also don't want to be one of those people who are sour about it. So I decided I'd just leave."

Seriously, BRITNEY, this is what I'm talking about! Even just downgrading from Los Angeles, the home of the TMZ foot soldiers, to New York City, is enough for a celebrity like Renee Zellweger feel less scrutinized. I swear, it's like Britney doesn't listen to me or something. I'm starting to get the impression she doesn't even know who I am.
