the buzz log

Through the tears, heartache, Octomom spats, and hosting gigs, one thing has remained a constant in Kate Gosselin's life: her hair.

As rubberneckers gathered at the wreck of a reality-TV marriage, ladies the world over wondered how to get their locks cut like hers. When Gosselin was busy pounding out the dents in her perfect-mom image, lookups on Yahoo! for "kate gosselin hair" soared past fashionistas like Rihanna or Victoria Beckham. US Magazine, in an abuse of Photoshop, even re-imagined a world where celebrities sported the defiant, in-your-face pixie bob.

Well, for those who don't have what it takes to make that cut, fake it. Her spikes are, well, spiking online. Searches for "kate gosselin wigs" have outstripped queries for "mullet wigs" and "lady gaga wigs." However, they still trail "beehive wigs," so favored by the likes of Lady Gaga and Amy Winehouse.

US magazine once again has been leading the charge for Gosselin's can-do-her-'do attitude: It predicted earlier this month that she would be this Halloween's Sarah Palin craze, and the constant Search trickle might just bear them out.

But, if you want to stand out from all those other Gosselin wannabes, here's a style tip: Snip some flouncy spikes out of a blonde beehive, for that outraaaageous commando-mom look. Don't forget the oversized hanky, for those vulnerable moments.
