The “Gossip Girl” actress has ditched her famous blond locks for red hair – and debuted her new look at Time’s 100 Most Influential People In The World gala on Tuesday, Apr. 26. She paired her new hair with a gorgeous Zuhair Murad dress.

Blake Lively — the new face of Chanel handbags — arrived on the red carpet sporting strawberry-tinged locks. “It’s for the film Hick,” Lively told PEOPLE. “I thought [my character] needed red hair. It helps when you’re playing a role, when I don’t feel like myself. And I don’t really feel like myself with red hair.” Colorist Rona O’Connor transformed Lively’s locks about a month ago, however, the actress managed to fly under the radar following her last public appearance at CinemaCon in early April. So how does she like her new look? “I love it,” she gushed. “I feel like Ariel.”

What do you think of Blake as a redhead?

Lady Gaga stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres show on Tuesday to perform her latest hit single “Judas” for the first time on TV. Ellen talks with Gaga about her HBO Special and how she is sometimes feels overwhelmed by her fame. She also reveals how she looks when she wakes up in the morning. Lady Gaga also confirms she is the godmother to Elton John and David Furnish’s son.

Lady Gaga on how her fame is sometimes overwhelming…

Ellen: I know it’s a struggle for all of us. Especially if there’s stuff that happens when you’re younger. You’re constantly dealing with insecurities or feeling you’re worthy of all of this adoration that you get. But I heard that you, in the new HBO special that you were calling your self a loser. Is that right?

Lady Gaga: Well, in that moment I was very excited and nervous. That is a huge benchmark moment in my life. I’m 25 years old. I was asked to play Madison Square Garden. Sold out 5 nights and quite frankly it’s very overwhelming. Do I feel like a loser sometimes? Yes, of course I do. We all feel like losers sometimes.

Lady Gaga on how she wakes up in the morning…

Ellen: When you were here last, I said, what do you sleep in? Do you have pajamas and you said you sleep in whatever you’re wearing.

Lady Gaga: It’s very funny.

Ellen: Like you’ll sleep in that (what she is wearing.)

Lady Gaga: It’s very funny and my best friends who often will crash at hotels where I’m at. They will come visit me on the road they always call me a Beauty Queen disaster. I wake up and my wigs falling off my head. My mole is on the other side of face. My fake mole, it’s not fake it’s surreal.

Ellen: It’s a surreal mole?

Lady Gaga: It’s a surrealist mole.

Lady Gaga godmother to David Furnish and Elton John’s little boy.

Lady Gaga: Yes that it true.

Ellen: Congratulations.

Lady Gaga: Thank you.

Robert Pattinson and actor Christoph Waltz attend the ‘Water For Elephants’ photocall at Hotel De Rome in Berlin, Germany.

Obviously Robert’s getting back into the Twilight look. He was so much hotter in ‘Water For Elephants’! It was nice seeing him in a movie where he had some color, and his hair was short. Not that Edward is hard on the eyes, or anything.

Can’t wait!

Kate Hudson who is pregnant with her second child, is also going to get a second walk down the aisle!

The actress went on the Today Show this morning to talk about her upcoming movie ‘Something Borrowed’, when host Matt Lauer noticed the sparkly engagement ring.

“It just happened a week ago,” gushed Hudson as she confirmed that, yes, she and her baby daddy, Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy, are indeed engaged. “I’m so glad you noticed. I haven’t really announced it and I felt like the announcing thing feels so silly, and I was just waiting for someone to notice.”

While Hudson wouldn’t reveal exactly how Bellamy proposed, she said it was “very sweet, very romantic.”

Hudson was previously married to Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson. The two divorced in 2007 and share custody of their 7-year-old son, Ryder.
