Maci’s colorist, Morgan Mason, says the Teen Mom is “coming into herself,” and says Maci even has a surprise hidden in her hair! Here’s all the details.

If you were wondering why Maci, an adorable natural redhead, would undergo a blonde makeover with a “surprise” in store then maybe you didn’t see her tweet to her colorist, Morgan Mason of Hair Benders Internationalé Salon in Chattanooga, Tenn., on April 26 “@MorganDMason I’m ready to do something crazzzy wif my hur.”

What’s Maci’s newest look?

“I did her hair about two weeks ago and we did blonde, but we put a really cool red flash piece in there. When she parts her hair she has a really cool red piece that’s on the top, but you can barely see it. It’s hidden under all that blonde.”

The long blonde extensions were a very different...

One of our favorite mantras around the AfterElton offices is “because visibility matters.” Indeed, the idea that gay and bisexual men need to be visible, both to ourselves and to the wider culture, is one of the principle reasons AfterElton.com even exists. After all, it is only by being visible to family, friends and the world that we’ve been able to overcome the stereotypes and bigotry used to justify discrimination against the Glbt community.

That quest for visibility explains why we have done so many polls including the AfterElton Hot 100, the Fifty Greatest Gay Movies, the Top 50 Gay TV Characters, and the 50 Best Gay Books. After all, it’s not as if Entertainment Weekly is going to ask gay and bisexual men which guys we think are the hottest, which movies mean the most to us or, in the case of our latest poll, which celebrities we most admire.

To Belinda Carlisle's fans, the gorgeous Go-Go appeared to have it all. She led a charmed life complete with musical success, a great marriage and unmatched beauty. But underneath it all, the singer has had her share of struggles. "I hit a lot of bottoms," she tells PopEater while discussing her searing new memoir, 'Lips Unsealed.' Those lows had an awful lot to do with a cocaine habit that grabbed hold of her for 30 years. Now 51, she's been sober only five years. "I don't know why it took me so long," she says. Her inspiration? The thought of her teenage son, Duke, whose dad is Morgan Mason, one day finding his mom dead of an overdose. "That's pretty low," she tells us. "You can't be my age and doing the amount of cocaine I was doing."...

Belinda Carlisle may have been the smiling lead singer of the iconic '80s all-girl group the Go-Go's, but behind the scenes she was a complete mess. "I should look like s--t or I should be dead," Carlisle tells me on the phone from New York City. Read on to find out why… In her new memoir, Lips Unsealed, Carlisle recounts in very graphic detail a life that seemed to be about one alcohol and drug binge after another. Now 53 and sober for five years, she splits her time between the States and the south of France with her husband of 24 years Morgan Mason and their son James, 18. You really put yourself out there in the book. Why did you decide to be so...

Belinda Carlisle is looking darn good. At 50 years old, the former Go-Go's frontwoman is one hot mama. Now she's getting in even better shape, because she's been training for the new season of Dancing With the Stars. But that doesn't mean she's looking to show it all off again like she did in 2001 when she posed for Playboy. "I wouldn't do that again," she tells me during a break from rehearsing her debut waltz with partner Jonathan Roberts at a West Hollywood dance studio. "I did that once, and it was really fun. But that was then and this is now." Now means leaving her husband, Morgan Mason, and their 16-year-old son, James, at home in France and...
