Yes, there is something other than Britney’s abyssmal, phoning-it-in performance to note about the VMA’s last night . … Nelly Furtado is now blonde! I mean Nelly’s new flaxen locks aren’t as shocking as, say, Brit’s paunch, but Miss Lennox was not expecting her to be blonde.

I have no qualms about publicly admitting that I believe brunette is boring and that blond adds life to one’s face . . . or that no one notices brunettes when there are blonds in the room . . . or that men do prefer blonds. Call me Blondist–it’s a label Miss Lennox will proudly accept. However, even given my personal inclination toward blond hair, I must say that Nelly looks better brunette. In this case it’s as if the lighter color has washed out any trace of her exotic look and has rendered her plain and vanilla.

Damn. I hate to say it, but in the case of Nelly Furtado, Brunette wins.
