I don't know what's in the water over at the 90210 set, but there was a lot of fake or seriously fake-looking hair at the premiere party.
Let's start with the latter, as spied on the head of Jessica Lowndes, who plays someone named Adrianna -- who Wikipedia describes as, "a theatre 'goddess' who is Naomi Clark's best friend and Ethan Ward's secret girlfriend; she suffers a serious drug addiction." Or in old-school terms, that's two cups of Brenda multiplied by a few tablespoons of season 6 Kelly Taylor, with a dash of the time Brandon slept with his professor's wife and tried to keep it a secret.
Anyway:
I have no idea if this is actually a wig. But doesn't it look like one? I don't think I've ever seen real hair that is as shiny as her bangs. I can't stop staring at it and thinking, "Maybe just the fringe is fake. But maybe it's real and just ridiculously healthy. But... maybe not? Also, she's wearing a ton of makeup. She kinda reminds me of Annie Potts in Pretty in Pink, with the heavy eyeliner and the dramatic wigs. And are those wedding shoes?"
Parenthetically, if this IS her hair for the show -- real or not -- it's a tad on-the-nose to make her the "theatre goddess" (which, isn't that just a polite way of saying "drama queen"?) and give her a coif with strong echoes of Brenda, when in fact in the course of her character's school play experience she will be DEALING with Brenda. Oh, new 90210, when will you give up on the young 'uns and make it all about the old favorites?
Back on-topic: Another reason this amused me is that "Adrianna" is tight with the Naomi character, played by everyone's emerging-favorite drunkfaced starlet AnnaLynne McCord -- who, the last time we saw her, had long, flowing curly locks and was struggling to keep her goodies in the cupboard. This time, though, AnnaLynne appears to have stolen an idea from her on-screen BFF:

Now THAT is some fake hair. It's almost awesome in its cracked-out fakeness. If she were to show up at my door in this get-up, I would be forced to call her Mrs. White, and we'd spend a jolly evening together learning all about her unskilled illusionist husband, her decapitated (among other things) nuclear-physicist ex, the intensity of the hate-flames on the side of her face that burn in heaving breaths, and whether she throttled Yvette the French maid. Of course, then a bunch of other people would get killed and the teacher from Head Of The Class would show up at my door talking about Armageddon, which can be kind of a buzzkill.
