There have been several iconic, must-see moments on television like the birth of Little Ricky on I Love Lucy, the death of Chuckles the Clown on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Who Shot JR on Dallas, the series finale of M*A*S*H, Luke and Laura’s wedding on General Hospital and the day Felicity cut off her hair.
Even though it has been almost 18 years since Keri Russell cut her for the WB drama people are still talking about it. The actress recently sat down with W Magazine and they asked her about it. She shared with them how it came about, “J.J. called me over the summer. We had shot the first season of Felicity and then he said, ‘You know we’re coming with the storylines for next year and we have this idea that the boyfriend breaks up with you and then like college girls go, you would go and cut your hair because of this big breakup. Would you be willing to do that?’ I said, ‘Yeah of course.'”
What she did not expect was the crazy backlash she got when she cut off her curls into a very short do. She said that, “Strangers did come up to me on the street and say things like, ‘You were so pretty before you cut your hair.'” While others told her they liked it. She on the other hand loved her “awkward” cut because she had a friend at NYU who did the same thing when her boyfriend dumped her.
She did not realize that there were consequences with going short when you have curly locks. She told the mag, “It just kind of grew out and was bad. I looked like a Chia Pet for a good few years. And then it was fine.”
Are you over her cutting her hair for the show? I know I am not, but then again I have a curly hair down to my butt so I am biased.
Believe it or not, Spice Girls’ Wannabe is going to turn 21 this Friday and W Magazine asked some actors to do their interpretation of the catchy hit.
Nicole Kidman sexed up the lyrics while Milo Ventimilgia made me want to sex him up. Millie Bobby Brown was not even a thought in her parents’ mind when the song came out, yet she was the most enthusiastic about it. James Franco, Keri Russell and Alexander Skarsgaard read it like an audition. All in all each one of them had a blast. But then again how can you not because that song always puts you in a good mood when you sing it. Zigazig ah!
Since Keri Russell can’t sing, we sometimes forget she was a member of the Mickey Mouse Club with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
Thankfully, Andy Cohen didn’t forget and yesterday on Watch What Happens Live, he asked her to Shag, Marry, Kill Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez. Which did she chose for each of her former male co-stars? Felicity said she would kill Chasez because he was her friend and he will understand. Will he? I wouldn’t.
Then she said, “Shag, Justin because he is a good dancer.” Finally settling to marry Ryan Gosling. Lamer than lame.
If each of those three guys played the same game, I bet they would all kill her because who doesn’t want to shag and marry Britney and X-Tina over her?

Yesterday, on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Keri Russell, John Stamos, Henry Cavill and John Goodman all told their younger selves not to do something that would forever change their lives.
Felicity was up first and she told herself not to chop off her hair because the fans, like me, would turn against her. She hasn’t forgiven them for all the hate mail, just like I haven’t forgiven her for doing it. Have you?
Uncle Jesse surprises us with something he did when he was 18. Superman reveals something so shocking that he still can’t handle it today. Then there was Dan Conner and he can’t duck his past.
Now, can we talk about skinny John Goodman? I am still not used to it. He kind of looks like George Clooney, but hotter.
Before Keri Russell was Will Forte’s crush on Running Wilde, she was Eric Matthews’ crush on Boy Meets World. The 17 year old actress had such beautiful hair in that 1993 episode.
