Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

Although she's had buzz-cuts before, Jada Pinkett Smith decided to fully shave her head in solidarity with daughter Willow Smith. Taking to Instagram to share the stunning new look, the proud mother noted it was in celebration of her 50th birthday. "Willow made me do it because it was time to let go," she advised, quipping, "BUT ... my 50's are bout to be Divinely lit with this shed." Willow posted the photo initially, advising sagely, "A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place, and when we expect nothing in return." It seems Pinkett Smith wanted to take back the power losing her hair stole from her. 

In 2018, she admitted on "Red Table Talk," via People, "It was terrifying when it first started. I was in the shower one day and had just handfuls of hair in my hands and I was just like, 'Oh my god, am I going bald?'" Pinkett Smith openly acknowledged that she really enjoyed taking care of her hair, and having that option taken away was heartbreaking. Medical professionals couldn't figure out what was going on, so the "Magic Mike XXL" star worked hard to put everything into perspective, advising things could be much worse, comparably. Thankfully, it seems she's turned a loss into a big win since it's tough to imagine anyone else looking this good bald (except maybe Willow).
