Celebrity hairstylist Jenn Lagron suffers ‘devastating injuries' after being hit by alleged drunk driver
Celebrity hairstylist Jenn Lagron suffered 'devastating injuries' when she was struck by an alleged drunken driver while on her walk in California on Sunday.
Lagron, who designs looks for stars such as Selena Gomez, Chrissy Teigen, Kylie Jenner and Ariana Madix, was diagnosed with a fractured vertebrae in her neck and has a 'severely damaged arm,' according to a GoFundMe page.
The hair guru's friend Brandon Pietsch revealed that the injury impacted 'the very arm she relies on for her career as a hairstylist.'
'While we are endlessly grateful that Jenn survived, her road to recovery will be long and incredibly difficult,' Pietsch added. 'Doctors anticipate at least a year of rehabilitation ahead, during which she will be unable to work or support herself.
The crash happened while she was walking along Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Los Angeles, Calif.
The hotspot consists of 'a mile of popular shops, restaurants, and galleries' which is based in the heart of Venice Beach, according to the shopping strip's website.
On Monday, Lagron underwent 'successful' surgery on her broken vertebrae and her arm.
She started physical therapy for her 'long road of recovery' on Tuesday, according to the fundraising page.
Pietsch said the stylist will have to use a wheelchair as she recovers because doctors 'had to replace nerves in her arm with nerves from her leg.'
'While we are endlessly grateful that Jenn survived, her road to recovery will be long and incredibly difficult,' Pietsch added. 'Doctors anticipate at least a year of rehabilitation ahead, during which she will be unable to work or support herself.'
Loved ones have raised over $50,000 to help cover her 'extensive medical bills, physical therapy, rent, and daily living expenses so she can focus entirely on healing without the added burden of financial stress.'
'Jenn has always been a light in the lives of everyone around her full of heart, creativity, and kindness. Now she needs our help more than ever,' the page read.
Kristin Juszczyk, the wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, reacted to the stunning news on her Instagram story earlier in the week.
'My girl @jennlagron was hit by a drunk driver last night. Sick to my stomach,' Juszczyk wrote. 'She is the most amazing person and [an] incredibly talented hair artist. She's going to have a long road to recovery so truly anything will help.'
Lagron has shared several posts of her styling Juszczyk's hair as recently as Super Bowl week in February.
She designed hair for 'Love Me Like You Do' singer Ellie Goulding that same weekend before flying out to craft Collie Buddz's look for the Grammy Awards.
The Hollywood hairdresser's work has appeared all over the entertainment industry, including on the covers of Esquire and Harper's Bazaar.

Is America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders season 3 happening? From cast to suspected release date
If, like us, you've already finished America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders season two, then you're probably wondering if and when the third season will be on Netflix to fill that Thunderstruck-shaped hole in your life. Given the success of seasons one and two of the show, which were released on 20 June 2024 and 18 June 2025 respectively, fans have got their fingers crossed that a third season will be on its way. Although, Netflix is yet to confirm (or deny) anything about the fate of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Regardless of that, our excitement levels for a third season are so high that we've scoured the internet to find everything we know about a possible third instalment. From cast to suspected release date, here's everything we know about America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders season three... As mentioned, there's been no confirmation from Netflix on a third season of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, but the team has already been posting a lot on their socials about the audition process for the coming year. That's because what we've seen on season two happened last year so, if Netflix does film a series three, it'll follow those currently competing in the audition and training camp process. If America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders does get renewed for a third season, there will be some familiar faces we can count on seeing, including DCC director Kelli Finglass and head choreographer Judy Trammell. There may be a celebrity star too, if the group's Instagram is anything to go by – as singer, songwriter, and musician Kacey Musgraves has been involved in the training camp process as a guest judge. In terms of who will (or won't) make the cheerleading team in season three, there's been some spoilers shared on social media which point to who we can expect to see. On the official DCC Instagram, zooming into the above training camp post gives us a good idea of the returning cast who have made it through to this round, while a post about the 'rookies' of the season introduces us to newer faces. As well as the veterans who retired at the end of season two (those being Chandi, Jada, Armani, Zoe, and Amanda), some other cast mates are missing from the promo shot above. While we know that fan-favourite Dayton auditioned again this season, given that she's missing from the training camp image, we can assume she was cut. Taking to social media to comment on a fan's post about just that, she commented: "It wasn't in the cards for me, but I'm proud of how much I've grown. I feel it's important to note I did EVERYTHING they asked of me and tried my absolute best to fit their mould. I'm not wanted there and I'm hoping this takes me to where I truly belong!" Again, there's been no confirmation that an America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders season three is definitely happening but, if it does, we guess it'll be released in June 2026, based on the release pattern of seasons one and two. Until then, we'll be busy rewatching both seasons, catching old episodes of Making The Team, and following all the cast members on social media. Stream all episodes of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders seasons one and two on Netflix now.

What Katie Sturino Wants You to Know About Her Body (and Yours, Too)
Katie Sturino is not a black swimsuit type of gal. As she wandered the racks at Bergdorf Goodman on a Thursday afternoon in late May, she wore a floral silk muumuu and a striped sweater, a bright green Hermès bag with candy-colored purse charms slung across her arm. She grabbed a stack of bathing suits — patterns, colors, a baby blue tweed bikini with buttons at the waist — and asked a sales associate hovering nearby if she could please grab them in the largest size the store has. The associate eventually returned without the requested models, instead proffering up a scant handful of shirred, red one-piece options, adding, unasked, that they came in navy and black, too. They were too small, but Ms. Sturino politely tried one on anyway. It fit, if fitting means technically being able to pull a garment over one's body. Ms. Sturino was unfazed, taking out her phone to snap a mirror selfie of the pair of us in matching vermilion Lycra. It's a scene that's played out dozens of times — both in her private life and in the videos she regularly broadcasts to more than 800,000 followers on Instagram: Ms. Sturino searching for clothes that fit her in major retailers, trying on a too-small option, and documenting the result. It's also a scene that unfolds in the opening pages of her first novel, 'Sunny Side Up,' out on Tuesday. The book tells the story of a dog-obsessed public relations pro turned body-positivity influencer slash entrepreneur who built a social media audience by posting candidly about her life. The protagonist's biography bears a close resemblance to that of Ms. Sturino — a dog-obsessed public relations pro turned body-positivity influencer slash entrepreneur who built a social media audience by posting candidly about her life.

Travis and Jason Kelce Earn Major Congratulations For All-Time Announcement
Travis and Jason Kelce Earn Major Congratulations For All-Time Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is going to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. ... but he won't be a first-Kelce in Canton. Advertisement Kelce's older brother Jason retired a year ago at age 36 after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles and has moved into a high-profile media role ... a spotlight that Travis, 35, knows something about as the boyfriend of pop star Taylor Swift. Someday - maybe after this season - Travis will retire. For now? "It really wasn't that hard of a decision for me," he said of continuing chasing a Chiefs championship in 2025. "I still felt like I had that fire in my chest to be able to keep coming in and building and be better and chase another Super Bowl." But whenever he's done? There is a five-year wait from retirement to Canton eligibility. Jason was a six-time First-Team All-Pro; he's a sure bet to get in ... and then Travis will follow him. Advertisement More evidence of their greatness? ESPN has assembled its NFL's All Quarter Century Team. ... and while it is quite subjective (it's essentially the work of two Bristol staffers) ... it's still powerful stuff for the Kelce family. Why? Because both the Chiefs star and the Eagles legend made the 53-man roster. ... earning them congratulations all around. On Travis, ESPN's Seth Walder wrote, "Kelce is simply the best pure receiving tight end in this quarter century.'' And on Jason: "Kelce's six first-team All-Pro selections are by far the most of any center -- no other player has had more than two since 2000. Kelce helped lead the Eagles to two Super Bowl appearances and revolutionized third- and fourth-and-1s leaguewide with his critical role in the (still permitted!) tush push play." Advertisement All true. All part of history. All heading to Canton.
