  • Apocalypse Now: Kate's Hair Goes Global

    The alleged marital troubles between reality stars Jon and Kate Gosselin have spurred a slew of searches. Lookups on Kate's surreal hairstyle are among the most popular.

    Over the past week, queries on the 'do have surged an astonishing 713%. Related terms like "kate gosselin haircut" and "kate gosselin hair pictures" also posted strong gains. Are people searching on the hair because they want to emulate Kate? Or are they looking with the same freaked-out fascination as highway rubberneckers?

    The world may never know. But for what it's worth, Kate has a theory. She believes "everybody wants" her hair. According to Entertainment Weekly, Kate says that her stylist gets calls from all over from folks who want to look like her. Alas, because the style requires thick hair, "it's not going to work for everybody." Life: so darn unfair.

    While Kate hasn't said if she's given her style an official name, some calling the famous coiffure the "pixie bob." Queries on the term are relatively modest for now. However, if Kate's pointy locks become the next big thing (as she clearly believes), the "pixie bob" could become as eponymous as "the Rachel." Shudder...

    Of course, Kate isn't the only celebrity whose hairstyle inspires lookups. Below we rank the top ten famous 'dos from the past seven days. Kudos to Mr. Beckham — the only male who, pardon the pun, made the cut.

Kate's hairstyle looks like a "curtain" hanging on the side of her face.

The thick hair comment was a backhanded, smart a$$ remark, in Kate fashion, to those who dare try to copy her. Who would want to?

I can't believe the morons that actually think this is "news worthy". Then again, these are the same simple-minded idiots that watch crap like "Dancing With The Stars", "American Idol", "The Biggest Loser" or a host of other b.s. shows filled with people that think they are "special", but in reality, they want the public to validate their nothing life. The "reality" of Reality TV is, the majority of Americans are brainless, and the ratings of these no talent shows proves it!

Even tho they had to do a tv show to make a better life and pay for the kid's they are doing ok, but I can see it falling apart real quick. She is a spto-mom, not an octo-mom.
They only have what they have made from the show. Same with the Rollof's Little People. They would not have all they do if it were'nt for the cash cow they have made themselves. BTW when is Jeremy Rollof come out?

I think she needs to get over herself . She puts down Jon to much. And TV how sad for him. she wears the pants in the family or she thinks she dose. At first I like the show and now the way Kate has gotten I dont watch as often. Shes a great Mom but Jon was a better Dad.

As much as Kate seems to think other women want her hairstyle, this man thinks it is the most awful looking hairstyle yet. It looks like the peroxide and weedeater got away from her. If my wife came home with a haircut like that, I would find the scissors to cut it all off. That hairstyle is neither professional nor trendy, it is stupid. What gay hairstylist thougth up mess? Kate get over yourself, you ain't all that. Go back to the "hairstylist" and get it cut all one length and all one color.

I hate her haircut. Particularly the flop of hair that hangs like a rug on the side of her head.

I'm afraid that one day Kate will realize that what she and Jon have done with their kids will have a negative affect on their family. I hope not for the children's sake. I know tensions and nerves are thin but it shouldn't have been allowed to be recorded by film for their children to always be able to remember. Kate is a very type A person who shouldn't have been allow on TV. BTW, her hair do is ridiculous.

Seriously??? I am getting sick of hearing about these two idiots... He cheated.... she cheated.... everyone wants her hair.... no one cares! I had never even heard of these people until a couple of weeks ago, and now the are constantly wasting space on websites that could be providing some actual news. Get a life and worry about those kids!

Her hair is horrible....it is like three styles put together and none of them go together. If she needs to think we all want her hair, then let her think that but in reality we all want her hair as much as we want her 8 kids and cheating husband....she is living in her own made up reality life since her real life sucks!

No, the haircut is hidious! If she honestly thinks that anyone wants her haircut, she is dead wrong. I have seen the show a couple of times, and from what I see, he is very childish, does not care about anything, and she is very bossy, and acts like his mother, not his wife. I could not live with either of them.

I like her haircut but it's not always cut or styled the same. I like it in the picture above but the last time I seen her in a television interview a few days ago it looked really bad. Maybe she needs a trim or just didn't have time to fix it right. Anyone with kids knows how that goes..Anyway I believe that people are requesting that haircut because people are retarded and don't have there own style or think they will look like her. Let me just say "you have to have a pretty face to get this cut" its not just for anyone. Another thing is that people don't have to go to her stylist to get it anybody with a razor and a comb can do it. Generally I like her because she's real; she actually reminds me of myself. It's hard when you have to be the brains of the outfit even for the most simplest things. Men need women to at like their moms because that's the only way they listen...No offense guys...

I asked my stylist what was next. Now that everyone has a bob with points and stacked back it has to be soo over. She told me "asymetrical" with one side long and the other short. Also really textured short styles would be popular. Looks like she was right about the asymetrical anyway.

Personally I think Kate is very egotistical and rude. She thinks "everyone" wants her hair. I am a Beautician and sorry Kate I sure do not "want" your hairstyle nor would I want to subject any of my patrons to that roosters mess! Hmmm rooster isn't that the male chicken lol? Seems apropos for Kate the way she is always crowing about something!

I certainly don't want her hair. It looks weird. She's not an unattractive woman, and this look is distracting. Get rid of the rooster thing in the back on top!

I like it....but yes....there are more news worthy things going on in the world. Like, remember the war? We have men and women fighting for our freedom and WE, yes, me too, are sitting here writing about rather we like a hair cut. We should be ashamed..

of all the celebrities hairstyles, and by the way this woman is not a celebrity, I'd have to say, I would even pick the mess on top of Amy Whinehouse's head over the poor animal this Kate woman killed to get it on her head. People dont want your hair sweetie, they are wondering why YOU did!
