Here’s someone whose IMDB popularity ranking went up 1,045% last week: Bryce Dallas Howard. Summit entertainment announced that Howard would be replacing Rachelle LeFevre in the role of Victoria in the Twilight movies, starting with Eclipse.

I really liked her in The Village, but this new hairdo engenders an unreasonable amount of hatred in me. Don’t get me wrong– the deeper color and fierce bangs look great on her.  I suppose that’s good for her new part (hairdo pun intended),  it’s just that she now looks waaaay too much like a woman I know who has never been anything but sneaky, manipulative girl trouble. In short, she looks like a total bitch.

My emotional baggage could be coloring (hairdo pun intended) my judgment, but what do you think?

Ms. Hudson looked stunning as usual at the Glamour Reel Moments event at the Directors Guild of America building in LA on Tuesday night.

Also there: Kirsten Dunst, Jennifer Meyer, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Bryce Dallas Howard.
