Miss: Short and Sassy

We give her props for taking the plunge and cutting off all of her hair, but Vanessa Hudgens's short crop should have stayed in the '80s where it belongs. Her new 'do makes us think: soccer mom, and draws attention away from her youthful smile and glowing skin.

Miss: Save the Hair, Save the World

Hayden Panettiere’s edgy part and short ‘do are far too serious for this Hero’s hottie. Plus, the cut puts the emphasis on Hayden's round face instead of her smoldering eyes.
