With a tongue every bit as sharp as her scissors, Tabatha Coffey is on a mission to save America's failing salons from themselves — one hapless hairdresser at a time. (Season 3 of Tabatha's Salon Takeover concludes on February 21.) We sat down with the feisty Aussie import over drinks at NYC's Beauty Bar for a peek at her — yep — many layers.
What the follicle? Have you heard of Hair Battle Spectacular? Well, count your blessings if you haven't because this showdown between extreme stylists is cheaper than a $2 weave and just as busted. Seriously, it's not even good bad, you know? Taking the best parts of Shear Genius and tangling it up with low-end production values, lame challenges and trashy contestants, the whole thing ends with ...

Winter Olympics8/7c NBC With a win on this track in last year's World Cup, America's Shauna Rohbock has to be considered a favorite in tonight's women's bobsled final. With partner Michelle Rzepka, she's got some momentum, having also won the final World Cup event of this season. Lindsey Vonn races again tonight in what has been her weakest event this season, the giant slalom; but her teammate Julia Mancuso won the gold in this race in 2006. There are two exciting events in short-track: Apolo Ohno skates in the prelims of the wild 500m men's sprint (he led wire-to-wire to win gold in this event in Torino); and the frenetic women's 3000m relay. "I feel like we have a really good shot at the podium in the relays," says U.S. skater Katherine Reutter. "We've become a very deep team." In freestyle skiing, China has been the dominant force in women's aerials; and in cross-country, the men's 4x10km relay final has traditionally been the sport's most thrilling race.Faces of America with Henry Louis Gates, Jr., American Idol, Shear Genius and Real World.
The crème de la crème of hairstylists on this season of Shear Genius snipped and pinned their way to the top three slots, but after some fancy finger-work on her final challenge, Dee Adames went home as this season's champion. "After all we've been through, it was just such a relief and amazing feeling," said the newly crowned winner. But the final challenge of telling a story through four different hairstyles on models ranging from teens to sixty was no easy task. "We only had 3 hours, so it was all about strategy and timing," explained Adames, "and the edgy rock star's hair was so coarse and thick that it was really hard to get it to come off polished." But between that rocker style and her Mama Red look, the Miami native pulled off the win. "My rock star story meant so much to me — I have a dear friend who is a struggling musician and I know she is going to make it big one day." Reality living wasn't a cake walk for the stylist either. "I'm a single woman who only ...
Three of Bravo's shows this week broke records for the net in a trifecta of ratings records. Project Runway's Season 5 opener on Wednesday strutted its stuff as the highest-rated season premiere ever in the network's history, pulling in almost three million total viewers. The hair-styling masterminds of Shear Genius, meanwhile, broke the two million mark in viewers with its fourth eppy the same night, becoming the fifth-ever Bravo show to make that cut.

That funny sound you hear is the bottom of the barrel being scraped. ABC has resurrected The Mole after four years, ordering 10 episodes to air this summer. With Anderson Cooper booked by CNN and Ahmad Rashad not being asked back, there's the question of who will host. Producer Scott Stone tells Variety, "We're looking for someone in the Anderson mode, a little mysterious but full of comedy. It could be a breakout role for someone." Casting for players is underway at MoleCasting.com.... Bravo has OK'd a Kitchen Nightmares-type pilot in which nasty Shear Genius also-ran Tabatha Coffey gives makeovers not to individuals but to entire salons....
