    She looks like Cher!

  2. irishserra says:

    I used to think she was so pretty, but she’s getting hard looking fast. Why do Hollywood parents want their children to grow up so fast? My daughter just months older than Lourdes and she looks younger.

  3. David says:

    No. She seems like a together kid.

  4. Missfit says:

    YAY!!! Harry Potter premiere! (Just had to say that) lol

  5. D says:

    Not at all. I love her hair darker.

  6. l says:

    she kinda looks like she could be a “spare” Kardashian if one of them ever goes flat

  7. Green Is Good says:

    I like it. And at least she didn’t dye it a horrible, phony Platinum Blond.

  8. mln says:

    I think she has been bugging mom to do this for a while I remember a quote where Madge says something about trying to explain to her once you dye your hair you can’t get the original color back. But no I don’t think 14 is too old. High School is exactly the time when you are allowed to dye your hair its a right of passage.

  9. guesty says:

    kudos on your mention kaiser. no…she’s not too young imo.

    love halle & oliver together.

    as for that erin chick…that do!! ugh.

  10. Jillian says:

    No. I started coloring mine at 12. Still at it 18 yrs later.

  11. Kaiser says:

    No one is saying anything about my quotes at The Daily Beast!

  12. happygirl says:

    @Kaiser…LMAO on your Daily Beast quote…hahahahahaha! So true, too!

  13. Kaiser says:

    Thank you, guesty & happygirl. It’s like I have Tourette’s and all I can say is “vagina”. I kind of love that she used it, though!

  14. Rosi says:

    good for her. i am looking forward to seeing her with blonde hair though…

  15. lucy2 says:

    I don’t think she’s too young to dye her hair. I lightened mine (and regretted it) when I was about 12-13. It’s not irreversible. Considering all the stuff her mother’s done over the years, she’s turning out to be a pretty tame kid.

    LOL at your quote, Kaiser.

  16. happygirl says:

    @ Kaiser! Stop! LMAO…you had me at “Miley Cyrus’ cooter”…it’s awesome she used your quote! 😉

  17. Praise St. Angie! says:

    Kaiser, you also say “dong” a lot, which I love.

    dong, dongfest, dongtastic…keep ’em coming! (whoops on that pun there…)

    I’m just thankful she’s tweezing/waxing the brows. She used to have the worst unibrow and I felt bad for her, being sure she got teased about it.

  18. Kaboom says:

    At least she shaved her monobrow, that’s a big improvement.

  19. Sarah says:

    Her hair looks good. I was dying my hair at 14.

  20. mel says:

    itz not a big deal. glad itz not purple, blue, or yellow.

  21. Cheyenne says:

    Hair looks good. Too much eyeliner.

  22. lola says:

    Please who HASN’T dyed their hair in HS, honestly.

    Mine was about that exact shade around that time…

  23. lola says:

    PS way to go on the shout out Kaiser!

  24. Gabriela says:

    I first dyed my hair when I was 12. I dyed it blue.

    No permanent damages on my upbringing so stop bitching, please.

  25. Brooke says:

    am in lust with her Alexander McQueen Union Jack clutch!

  26. Heavenbound says:

    I started at 15, I have been all colors of the rainbow. But with black you really need to be careful. I think the black hair looks harsh on her. It looked awful on me too! I dyed it black, because an ex-boyfriend had the Elvis Presley syndrome a la Pricilla Presley with the dark hair. And it was so hard to take the color out.

  27. Riley says:

    I don’t think she is too young. She doesn’t strike me as the kind of kid who is smoking cigarettes and pot and stealing jim beam minibottles so I think a little hair dye is ok. But Madonna should school her a little and let her know that full on eyeliner is not a good look for anybody. She doesn’t want the Jersey Shore calling when Snookie is declared too old to bring in the viewers.

  28. Oi says:

    late, but you are dead on the money with the Daily quote, Kaiser. Kinda sad really.

    PS: my I request some Tom Hardy (if he hasn’t already made an appearance) for hot guy Friday? Thanks in advance!

  29. spooge says:

    No but apparently she’s too young to pluck them brows.

  30. Jeri says:

    Kinda sad, she’ll probably never have her natural hair color again.

    OMG! I loved Modern Family last night. So Funny!

  31. melinda says:

    Not too young.

  32. Samigirl says:

    No. She also isn’t to young to get her eyebrows waxed. just sayin’

  33. RHONYC says:

    uh…hair color, how about wearing heavy eye makeup & a mini-skirt? 🙁

  34. dread pirate cuervo says:

    I dyed my hair the day before my 8th grade graduation & I also went with black as a first choice. My freshman year I dyed it a different shade of purpley-red every 2 or 3 weeks. I agree with the poster that said it’s a rite of passage. I stopped at 30 & have been dye-free for 4 years. I hope to grey naturally but I don’t have enough (thank you, God!) to tell if that’s going to work yet.

  35. Delta Juliet says:

    The hair, meh. The eyeliner is just WRONG!

  36. Delta Juliet says:

    Shout out on the quote Kaiser! Leave it to you to mention Miley’s crotch 😉

  37. Annicka says:

    I started dying my hair at 12. Same with my sister.

  38. Redheadwriter says:

    This is her time to experiment and find her own “look.” And with Madge as a mom, that’s going to be difficult. She’s not too young.

  39. Alexa says:

    STOP picking on this child! When you all were young girls and experimenting with makeup, were your results always Lancome Paris or what? Can’t anyone appreciate the precious clumsiness of that age? (When I see some of my junior high pics I wonder, “What was I thinking?” lol . . . )

  40. di butler says:

    Hair dye? We are wondering about hair dye? Did someone forget her mother is MADONNA? I’m just glad we haven’t seen her pre-coffee table book poses yet.

  41. Ron says:

    nope. she looks cute.

  42. wunderkindt says:

    Miley Cyrus with dark hair

  43. LolaBella says:

    No, I don’t think she’s too young to dye her hair; I’m glad she also cleaned up that unibrow situation. That’s a lot of eyeliner though!

    LOL@Kaiser’s cooter quote.

    Halle and Olivier look good together; wondering how long that’ll last.

    Oh GaGa spare yourself The Butler; that’s one ‘monster’ you should stay away from.

    Damn, Monica Bellucci is so effin’ hot AND she gets to sleep with Vincent Cassell every night. So not fair. LOL.

  44. Lisa Turtle says:

    Ugh. Another celebrity offspring forced upon us? Lourdes WREAKS of becoming the next Potato-Head Willis, I mean Rumer Willis. I’m so sick of these celebrity parents stating matter-of-factly “my child is so talented!” as if they are an objective judge of a) talent; b) their child.

    My two cents? Lourdes is not attractive, the black hair and black eyeliner just highlight that she is a completely plain girl and with an unmemorable face. Her clothing line is not attractive either, and completely useless. This 14 year old should go back to school and become a doctor. She ought to do something useful with all her mother’s money, since she is one of the few who can still afford higher education at this point.

  45. koala says:

    not too young. at least she waited for her mum’s permission???

  46. rkintn says:

    Her hair looks okay and if her parents approve who else is to say if it’s okay or not. Those eyebrows, on the other hand, are absolutely atrocious! I can’t figure out why she felt the need to go over them with a sharpie/eyebrow pencil.

  47. benny says:

    She’s too young for that whole outfit. She looks like a skank. I think Madonna wants her to grow up fast so they can be playmates together, hanging out at the same clubs and hitting on the same men. That’s the vibe I get.

  48. GatsbyGal says:

    Oh for god’s sake, she’s 14. I’ve been getting my hair dyed since I was 12 (granted, I was getting it dyed blonde and auburn, not black…but still). I really don’t see anything wrong with it at all.

    Her dress is much more scandalous, in my opinion. Juuuuust a little too short.

  49. Embee says:

    On the hair, I say it’s a big “whatever.” I started at 13, and with my mother’s consent/input. her skin is typically covered, which I appreciate, and there’s something in her face/eyes wherein she seems more “present” than most celebuspawn. I think it’s a good sign. Madge may have done a good job here…she certainly knew all the tricks!

  50. Skye says:

    I think Lourdes is gorgeous. Growing through an awkward stage, but still a very beautiful girl. I din’t think there is anything wrong with dyeing her hair…especially now that they have gentle formulas. I think she is too young for eyebrow tweezing, only because too much plucking can make your brows thin over the years.

  51. LunaT says:

    I’d be more worried about my kid wearing that much makeup and such a short skirt than about her dying her hair.

  52. Anaya says:

    Lola’s hair was dark brown and I read that she wants to dye it red or a red/black combo. Kind of like Shakira’s hair before she began singing in english. Like this I think:

    http://www.shakiragallery.com/albums/userpics/10001/normal_pmp_19296.jpg

    I like Lola’s hair brown because it looks better on her and compliments her skin tone. I agree that she’s looking too mature and not in a good way. The eyeliner is way too heavy. Maybe Taylor Momsen applied her make-up? j/k

    It’s up to Madonna and Carlos to decide if Lola is too young to begin coloring her hair. If she has her parents permission then go for it.

  53. Anaya says:

    Lola said this about dying her hair a couple of months ago.

    “I wouldn’t go blonde,” Lourdes told reporters.

    “I’d like to do a darker color — a really dark, dark red,” she explained.

    So either Lola’s changed her mind having chosen the classic gothic black hair or the black hair is the first step taken before she ultimately goes red.

  54. Lukie says:

    If she were my child, she would not be allowed to use permanent dye before she was 16.

    Manic Panic, or a semi permanent sure but that’s it.

    1. It can fuck up your hair over time (though as Madonna’s child, I am sure that will not happen). Teenagers like to dye it 20 million colors in, like, a month. It dries it out and can even lead to breakage and thinning.

    2. I am going to quote my sister here “you have such a short window to just be a kid. Be a kid.”

    But since she isn’t my child, I could care less. At least she isn’t like Gwen Stefani dying her toddler’s hair. Now THAT is F-ing ridiculous.

  55. jc126 says:

    No, not too young, though I do think she’s looking hard and she is so cute. My parents never gave any of us a hard time about hair because it always can be cut and it grows back, so they thought it wasn’t worth fighting over.

  56. Heather says:

    Eh, I was allowed to dye my hair at teh age, No bleach or anything funky til I was 16 though.

  57. voodoobetty says:

    My 8 yr old begged me to dye her hair a shade darker. we use semi-perm dye and it actually looks gorgeous on her.

  58. Belle Epoch says:

    The Miley quote was awesome! I was actually upset by that photo where she was wearing just a leotard and lifted up her shirt and thrust her hoo-ha at the audience. Eww!

    Miley is WAAAY oversexualized. I think the dad is responsible. His relationship with Miley always seemed a little weird (those photos creeped me out) and now the mother is emotionally and physically absent.

  59. The Hamm is My Dream Man says:

    Lisa Turtle: wreak means to take vengeance, or inflict punishment on someone or something (wreaking havoc).

    Reek means to give off a strong, pungent or offensive smell or, colloquially, to give off a strong sense of something i.e. of becoming the next Rumer Willis.

    Hopefully she does get some schooling and reads a bit in order to get her homonyms down.

  60. ohduho says:

    Lourdes isn’t too young to dye her hair. It’s probably temp or semi-permanent color. I would think Madonna had a professional do the color even if it was temp color.

    I grew up with a mom and much older sister who loved dyeing their hair. I would watch them change hues each month then at 7 I asked if my mom could dye my hair too.

    She didn’t want to use permanent dye on my virgin hair so she took my to her stylist and had them do a color rinse on it. My normally dark brown hair was tinted reddish auburn to match my mom’s hair color. I loved it and it washed out after a month.My mom had it done at least once a year til I reached 11.

    I don’t even want to discuss the crap I pulled at 11 when I poured hydrogen peroxide and sun-in on my hair because I wanted highlights that matched John Taylor of Duran Duran. I did an amazing amount of damage to my hair that no stylist could correct. Only solution was to shave it all off and force me to deal with having no hair.

  61. bellaluna says:

    If I had to choose between dyed hair and my kid being on “16 & Pregnant,” I’d choose the dyed hair. The eyeliner is criminal, but she’ll grow out of it (hopefully).

  62. albeli says:

    Not bothered by her age, but that shade is too harsh on her.

  63. Lukie says:

    @Kaiser your quote was great!

    I am impressed! She goes to LaGuardia! I didn’t know Madonna had Lourdes in Public school.

    For non NYC residents, LaGuardia is the old Music & Art aka the NYC school for the arts that the original movie, Fame, is based on. You have to audition to get in as either a music (vocal or instrument), dance, or theater major. It’s possible she sucked and got in as “Madonna’s daughter”, but something tells me the kid got in on her own merit…

  64. Catherine says:

    She is a very pretty girl.

  65. bagladey says:

    Of course she’s too young for hair colour and black eyeliner at twelve years old but who gives a f*c*? She’s Madonna’s daughter so she’s going to do it anyway and we’re going to be talking about her inappropriateness, and her clothing line, and her high fashion modelling, and her singing, and her surprisingly good acting or hereditarily bad acting skills etc. It’s now only just begun; Madonna is passing the torch.

  66. Djen says:

    Hair color is one of those decisions kids make at this age that they can grow out of with no harm done. I say let them do whatever they want to the stuff that isn’t permanent, how else will they learn?

  67. ohduho says:

    Bagladey – she’s 14 not 12.

    I had double D cups at 14, suppose that was inappropriate to many but they were nature’s curse.

  68. Kiska says:

    Kaiser, thanks to you, I’ve started using the word “dong” instead of “dick.”

    Lourdes looks like a Bollywood star with her dark hair and eyes. She is a pretty girl.

  69. Shelley says:

    She looks 35 – really. Not good.

  70. Chris says:

    I can’t get over how ordinary she looks. Not that there’s anything wrong with that but I guess I expect the daughter of Madonna to be more striking.

  71. heathen says:

    Yes, she’s too young to dye her hair, but she is also too young to wear that eye-liner and that skin-tight dress. And is she actually wearing foundation? Doesn’t she know that women wear foundation to make their skin look like it did when they were younger? When you are 14 you have no reason to wear foundation. My parents didn’t let me paint my fingernails until I was 16 — and then only a blush pink. I resented it at the time, but now that I’m older I agree — there is something to be said about staying a kid — there is plenty of time to dye your hair when you’re older.

  72. Tazina says:

    Not at all. Her mother said she could dye her hair when she turned 14. So she’s 14 now and I assume has dyed her hair since she was apparently chomping at the bit to do so. Why is this non-issue even mentioned? Also the all around the eyes eyeliner is not a good look on pretty much anyone.

  73. bellaluna says:

    Dear God, some of the judgement – I’m mostly liking what I’m hearing from those who have either dyed their hair or have kids who dyed it, but the whole “inappropriate-ness” label is a little “over-the-top”, I think.

    Like “ohduho”, my girls were 36C’s when I was 12, and they didn’t stay that way for long! (Nothing to be done about nature at that tender young age.) Needless to say, the boys loved me, and the girls hated me. C’est La Vie.

  74. Kloops says:

    Normally – at least from the photos I’ve seen on CB – she looks cute, but this is not a cute look. She looks a bit haggard. I guess she’s going for edgy, but she just looks bloated and greasy, in my opinion. I don’t buy that she’s a child and therefore it’s not appropriate to comment on her, she’s (or those around her) clearly marketing herself as a celebrity/designer.

  75. jc126 says:

    Nice skin or not, she – well, most people, I bet – wouldn’t look good in a professional photo without some foundation on. And she wouldn’t look “right” if she wore eye makeup and no foundation, your eyes would go right to the makeup. If you start making up your face, you need to finish it, even if only using sheer moisturizer and a light powder.
    Looking again at her, it looks like she is just wearing some foundation for evenness, it’s not caked.

  76. Lisa Turtle says:

    Lourdes has a hairy forehead.

  77. Camille says:

    Any chance of doing a ‘Guys from Down Under’ HGF???

    Would love to at least see these New Zealand actors:

    Karl Urban: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0881631/

    Martin Henderson: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0376540/

    Grant Bowler (He was in True Blood): http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0101198/

    Kevin Smith: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0808963/

    Oh and also the guys from The Flight of the Conchords. 😀

    Then of course are the Aussie guys: Hugh Jackman, Sam Worthington, Simon Baker etc.
    Oh and Russell Crowe who is a Kiwi/Aussie. You’d have to go back to his Gladiator days to find him when he looked any good though 😆 .

    Just an idea anyway 😀 .

  78. CB Rawks says:

    Her natural hair colour is so lovely that personally I wouldn’t change it, but hey whatever she wants, it’s her noggin.

  79. serena says:

    Black hair doesn’t suits her.

  80. Solveig says:

    Cher, is that you?
    You have finally found the perfect surgeon, I see.

  81. thegorilla says:

    she has the cutest nose

  82. samihami says:

    Hair grows out. It’s better than letting her get a tattoo or a piercing at her age. I figure if kids want to mess with their hair, even if it looks dumb, who really cares? It’s not permanent.

  83. Ferguson. says:

    woah! congrats Kaiser for being quoted! IT IS SO TRUE hahahah.

    and NO, she’s not too young to dye her hair. I started dying mine when I was 13. I have friends who started even earlier and none of us were looking for a nosejob at 16 (nor we do now). dying ur hair is not that big of a deal.

  84. Nancy says:

    No 14 is not too young but she definitely needs to pluck those eyebrows but she’s a teenager going through normal teenage awkwardness she seems very put together and grounded. I hope she doesn’t go down a bad path like some of the other hollywood kids.

  85. telesma says:

    Bah. I started dying my hair at that age and ended up president of the PTA. Hair grows out. Not a hill to die on if you’re a sensible parent.

  86. GT says:

    No way, my DD was asking for her hair to be dyed at 12!! She looks great, it’s just a sign of the times. There are way worse things she could be doing than dying her hair.

  87. Armando says:

    Wow I can’t believe how Lourdes is getting so big now. It feels like it was yesterday when I was 12 years old and I heard the news that her mother gave birth to her. And after seeing these pictures of her, Lourdes looks just like her mom during the Like a Prayer era of 1989.
