Jamie Lee Curtis Wigs Out in Pink

Hey Activia lady! What's with the pink hair?

Jamie Lee Curtis has long been one of our Hollywood favorites. She seems so real, and obviously, she's a lot of fun. For pete's sake, the 50-year-old showed up at the Noche De Ninos Gala and Concert this weekend in a bright pink wig.

Star Hair Colors Not Found in Nature

    Britney Spears paired bright pink hair with a fair amount of questionable behavior in 2007. Truthfully, we kind of dig the look!

    Adrien Brody's blue streaks got, uh, "rave" reviews from some, but not everyone was impressed.

    Gwen Stefani and No Doubt at the 1999 VH1 Fashion Awards -- she's never been shy about playing with out of this world hair colors!

    Getty Images

    Gwen pulls off blue hair better than pretty much anyone we know, as shown here at the 1998 MTV Music Video Awards.

    A year later, Gwen was still sporting the pink, but had toned it down a bit, as seen here at Memorial Stadium in Seattle, Washington in 2000.

    What else would you expect from a singer named Pink?

    Jay Manuel attends the 20th Annual GLAAD Media Awards -- he might be more well-known for his super-platinum hair color than for his work as a TV personality!

    Getty Images

    Jenny McCarthy wore a funky pink wig to her sister's 30th birthday party at the Jet Nightclub in Las Vegas in 2006.

    The late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes rocked a bright green wig for the 2000 MOBO Awards in London.

Curtis was being presented with the Courage to Care Award at the gala, which was held to benefit the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. And, it turns out the pink wig wasn't just a fashion statement -- a 15-year-old (who lost her battle with cancer) had given it to her. What better opportunity to wear it than at an event for the Children's Hospital?

We have to say, we're glad this isn't a permanent look for Curtis. However, she's far from the only star who's tried out a hair color not found in nature -- check out the gallery to see who else has gone pink (and blue, and green). Let us know who your favorite is in the comments!

Jamie Lee Curtis not only has heart, she has guts! Letting her natural silver shine in the midst of Hollywood Gold is an inspiration! She is a role model for all of us at http://www.goinggraylookinggreat.com. Silver or pink, Jamie gets attention!!!

The Pink wig belonged to a young cancer patient. That cancer patient lost her life. And her wearing the Pink wig was in tribute to her.

It would be great if the editors of this blog site would post a follow up to this story, stating her reasons for donning the wig.

I have to give it up to Jamie lee for aging gracefully. I have always admired her honesty and sincerity. The wig is for a cause, and for that, all the more power to her.
