The 50,000 dollar haircut
Jennifer Aniston is widely perceived by the public as "the girl next door."

Yeah, depends on what high-priced hood you live in.

According to the Daily Mail, Jennifer Aniston spent around $50,000 on her hair for the Paris and London premieres of "Marley & Me."

Her honey-colored highlights and simple sleek hairstyle may look low-key, easy and natural.

But Jennifer’s enviable locks are anything but effortless.

She flew in her longtime hairdresser Chris McMillan to Europe for a week while she did the international "Marley & Me" premieres.

The sky-high price tag -- footed no doubt by the studio -- includes jetting (business or first, I would bet) McMillan back and forth between Paris and London and his swanky hotel stays (most likely in the same hotel as Jennifer).

Add in his sky-high styling fees, which allegedly cost more than $2,000 per session, according to Britain's Daily Mail.

So do we believe Jennifer when she says she tells Oprah that she recently found -- not just a gray hair -- but a long gray hair?

Not at those prices we don’t.

HAHAHA. Just a regular girl like Sarah Palin, right? Isn't the average American income for a year around 50K? C'mon, Aniston robots, let's hear your excuses for your Friends messiah now.

2. At least that looks like a 50,000 dollar haircut
Good Ol' Rachel looks like a bad carbon transfer of herself from 1997.

17. I can get my hair to look like that for nothing
sometimes, if I exercise in the evening, I take a quick shower before bed and just rinse my hair (I'll shampoo it in the morning...) But, after I towel dry my hair, it looks really poofy and "big" like that.

3. As a former cosmetologist, I am thrilled.
If girlfriend can't do her own hair and wants to pay a hairburner 50 grand, I say booyah!

only star who has their own stylist flown in. J-Lo used to fly her eyebrow waxer to wherever she was. She was also a big part of why the movie was successful. And $50,000 isn't much when you are talking about the money they spend (studios and celebrities). She also donates lots to charities.

12. Strange... I thought she'd be known for her acting.
Considering, y'know, she supposedly does that for a living.

14. Well she started a hair phase with her shag cut. And ever
since then her hair has always been a big thing. You can be known for more than one thing. Again, J-Lo is also know for her bottom, her dancing, singing, acting, etc. Brad Pitt is known for his looks as well as his acting. Jolie is known for her lips, and so on and so on.

15. THAT do was what she got for 50,000 bucks? Wow, I know someone
who could have done that and it would only have cost a little over 100.00.

18. I don't think a $50,000 haircut exists! At least I hope not.
My hair better be covered in gold and diamonds for that amount.

20. Seriously, I don't care what it includes. I see something extremely
shameful when someone spends money like that on thier HAIR and there's women and kids sleeping in tent cities, parks, and in their cars.

Something just does not ring right.

charities. It wasn't just on her hair. It was for her hair stylist who she employs. You might as well be shamed at most all of Hollywood.

Back to reality.

22. celebrity stuff is not something i usually follow
but stuff like this is commonplace with them. Their salary depends on them looking their best. No big deal.
