Cynthia Nixon appeared on Live With Kelly this morning, and the Sex And The City star revealed a bold (and bald) new look with her shaved head. Cynthia buzzed off her famous red locks for her role in the Manhattan Theatre Club production of Wit, where she plays cancer patient Vivian Bearing.
Cynthia told host Kelly Ripa, "I thought it was kind of gonna be no muss-no fuss, but I have to shave it every day! It's got kind of a five o'clock shadow, and you don't want to go on with that ... I was always kind of curious to see what it would be like. I like it; I don't think I'm gonna keep it forever." Back in 2006, Cynthia discovered that she had the early stages of breast cancer during a routine mammogram, so obviously this role is very close to her heart.
In a separate interview with the NY Times, Cynthia chatted openly about her sexuality, telling the paper, "I gave a speech recently, an empowerment speech to a gay audience, and it included the line 'I've been straight and I've been gay, and gay is better.' And they tried to get me to change it, because they said it implies that homosexuality can be a choice. And for me, it is a choice. I understand that for many people it's not, but for me it's a choice, and you don't get to define my gayness for me. A certain section of our community is very concerned that it not be seen as a choice, because if it's a choice, then we could opt out ... Why can't it be a choice? Why is that any less legitimate?"
Cynthia is engaged to girlfriend Christine Marinoni, with whom she has an 11-month-old son Max. Prior to that, she had a 15-year relationship with Danny Mozes, with whom she had two children.

Katherine Heigl went on The View to chat about her new flick One For the Money, but talk quickly turned to her adoption of daughter Naleigh.
The 33-year-old actress, who brought the little girl on stage, told the ladies:
"She is completely upstaging me! We have talked about having biological children as well, but we decided to adopt first. I just wanted to be a mom. So however we did that, it's fine with me. I'd like to adopt again."
Heigl and husband Josh Kelley adopted Naleigh from Korea in 2009.

Jennifer Aniston has plunked down $21 million on a massive 8,500 square foot Bel Air mansion, and not only is this the house of her dreams, but it sounds like she got quite a deal on it! The 4 bedroom, 6.5 bathroom property was initially listed for $29 million, so Jen has to be feeling good about knocking $8 mil off the asking price.
The house was designed by Archibald Quincy Jones in 1965, and it sits on 3+ acres and boasts 300 degree views from downtown to the ocean. The gated residence has gardens, a pool, a private vineyard and a guesthouse, along with a wine cellar and fireplaces in the den.
Rupert Murdoch and Clint Eastwood are her neighbors, so it looks like she's in good company! Click the gallery below to see 40+ pics of Jen's new pad!

Yes, this photo of Victoria Beckham was taken AFTER she delivered daughter Harper. OMG ... we're so jealous!
The 37-year-old mother of four looks fierce in a white corset by Rochas in the pages of Japan's Numero magazine.
When asked who she'd love to have in the front row of her fashion show, she tells the mag:
"My husband. David has never been to any of my shows as I'm incredibly nervous and I need to focus and concentrate, apart from him Tilda Swinton. She's so striking and I would love to dress her. She's incredible looking and I love that she seems so confident in herself she doesn't feel the need to conform."
So will Posh be creating a kids' line? She adds:
"Contrary to what people say I have no interest in doing a children's line; there are lots of people doing that very well already.'

Halle Berry has arrived at LA Superior Court to face her ex Gabriel Aubry who is being charged with child endangerment and criminal battery.
Nahla's former nanny, Alliance Kamdem, filed charges against Aubry after he reportedly shoved her and screamed racial slurs. This incident all allegedly took place early last week while Kamdem was holding the 3-year-old little girl.
The Oscar-winning actress is reportedly asking the judge to keep Aubry away from their daughter until police have finished the investigation.
The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services are also now investigating Aubry for child endangerment.
UPDATE - Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry were both inside the courtroom, yet neither spoke directly to the judge. Berry will have to wait until Monday to find out whether Gabriel Aubry will be prohibited from seeing Nahla.
