Janelle Monae

Here's a surprising one: the ultrafabulous Janelle Monae has said she does her amazing hair and makeup completely on her own. She told her MySpace fans: "Well folks, sorry to say this, but I do my own styling and my own tangled-up hair! I never like to inconvenience anyone I don't have to. I mean, I may not do the best job, but if I can do it, I would just rather it be that way." We respectfully disagree about her "best" point there — we're continually impressed with Janelle's styling chops.

This article is just a wee bit misleading. I know for a fact that at least Kate Winslet had her makeup professionally done for the photo in the slideshow, by Lisa Eldridge (who has also done Kate's makeup for photo shoots and magazine covers) - The article makes it seem like these ladies *always do their own makeup, but that's certainly not the case for all of them. I respect that they don't hire someone to do their everyday hair and makeup, but I honestly didn't think very many people did that anyway. For the ladies who do their own makeup for tours, I can respect that too, that I actually find quite surprising!
