Let's hear it for the bob
Bouncy, bold and literally cutting-edge, bob hairstyles have long served as a statement look. So when Jenna Bush Hager had her hair cut above her shoulders live on the 'Today' show last month, she said the blunt haircut 'inspired the country.' 'It's so cool,' Leslie Bibb of 'The White Lotus' exclaimed, clapping and squealing as Chris McMillan, the Beverly Hills celebrity stylist, clipped Hager's hair. The 'Today' show referred to Bibb's style as the 'blunt bob,' although McMillan earlier named it the 'c---y little bob' when he cut Bibb's hair, using a word that's considered either an obscenity or an endearing descriptor depending on the context — and somehow became a provocative way to explain the off-putting attitudes of women who wear the haircut.

'Your 60s are fantastic, and I was single in my 60s,' Shriver said. 'I have been single my whole 60s. And now I'm ending my 60s. I loved being single, but other people had a big problem with it.' The mother of four noted that while she'd describe herself as 'happily single,' she's found that other people seem to want to pair her up with a partner. 'I think other people are like, 'You don't have a boyfriend yet? What do you think that's about?' or 'What's wrong? What do you think you're doing? Are you not open?' ' Shriver shared. 'I also think people want you to be happy and they want you to have love and they want you to be in a couple.' When co-host Jenna Bush Hager asked Shriver if she was 'interested in dating' these days, she replied, 'I'm interested in any great love experience.' Bush Hager further pressed, saying she thought that meant 'yes.' 'That's a yes. I'm kind of trying to be open and yes to life in all its forms,' Shriver said. 'How about that? I just made that all up.' She also noted, 'I think if a great man comes along, that's great, at any age, by the way.'

Shriver served as the First Lady of California when Arnold was governor from 2003 to 2011.

They didn't finalize their divorce until 2021, and in the years since, Shriver has not publicly dated. 'I'm a frustrated matchmaker myself, and I'm a big believer in relationships and love,' Shriver shared on the Jamie Kern Lima Show earlier this month. 'I've just kind of gotten to the place now where I'm thinking, I don't know, maybe, but my life is really full. I'm not looking, but I'm open to whatever God sends my way.' Shriver said that her kids have urged her to search for love the modern way. 'My kids have kidded around going, 'We should make you a dating app [profile],' " she added. 'I'm like 'Absolutely not!'

Leslie Bibb Reveals Why She and Sam Rockwell Haven't Married After 18 Years Together
On the June 16 episode of Today with Jenna & Friends, Leslie Bibb and Sam Rockwell opened up about their relationship to Jenna Bush Hager Bibb revealed why she does "not want to get married" to Rockwell after 18 years together The couple started dating in 2007, shortly after meeting at the Chateau Marmont in Los AngelesLeslie Bibb and Sam Rockwell won't be walking down the aisle any time soon. Even though the White Lotus season 3 costars have been in a relationship for 18 years, timing has nothing to do with why they aren't married. While co-hosting Today with Jenna & Friends on Monday, June 16, Bibb revealed the reason behind their decision not to tie the knot. 'Listen, I love Sam Rockwell,' Bibb, 51, told Jenna Bush Hager of the Oscar winner. 'I would put him in my pocket and carry him with me all the time. I love him. I do not want to get married.' "I feel like we are married!" she added. Rockwell, 56, brought up the topic of marriage early in their relationship, Bibb said, adding that she always shut down the idea. "It annoyed the crap out of me because he's like, 'Really, you don't want to get married?' " Bibb remembered. "I was like, 'Stop saying it. I already said I don't want to marry you. Stop asking me like I'm gonna pull like a sneak on you.' But he didn't want it either." 'Maybe it's probably something about the way we grew up, but I feel like if it ain't broke, don't fix it,' she continued. The couple also agrees that they don't want to have children together, Bibb said, noting that she never developed a desire to become a mother. "I just don't have that chip in me." The actors still keep the spark alive after nearly two decades together by putting their relationship first. "You have to constantly choose the relationship. We've been together for 18 years … it's a long time but I do think it gets better," Bibb shared. "Like the intimacy of a relationship is sexy to me. You can all have the hot sex in the beginning, but you gotta reinvent."

Later on in the episode, Rockwell joined Bibb and Bush Hager on stage. He gave the women bouquets before sitting down and sharing his first impressions of Bibb, whom he met at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles in 2007. 'We had that kind of thunderbolt, like 'Dream Weaver' moment in Wayne's World when we saw each other,' Rockwell gushed. 'I found out that she studied in the same acting school that I did, so that was really handy.' He recognized Bibb from her character Carley Bobby in the 2006 comedy Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Meanwhile, Bibb thought Rockwell was "really cute" but tried to play it cool by pretending she had no idea who he was. Their eventual first day date went so well that it extended later into the evening, which caused Rockwell to cancel his nighttime date that he had scheduled with someone else. "It's good, you were single, you were ready to mingle,' Bibb told Rockwell. 'And then I just put my little claws in you, I put my talons in and I said, 'No, you're mine.' " 'And they're still in,' Rockwell added. Back in September 2022, Rockwell told The Standard his reasoning for why he and Bibb have never wed. "[We're] basically married. She's in my will. I feel like we are married. We live like a married couple," he said, adding that they don't want kids because they "just like it the way it is." Read the original article on People

Jenna Bush Hager Finally Debuts 'Strange' New Bob Haircut On ‘Today': 'I Feel A Little Embarrassed'
Today viewers finally got to see Jenna Bush Hager's exciting new look after the daytime host underwent a dramatic transformation live on the show, all thanks to Leslie Bibb's hairstylist. Like many other White Lotus fans, Bush Hager was inspired by Bibb's signature bob, cut and styled by celebrity hairstylist Chris McMillan. So, they had McMillan stop by the show Monday to cut Bush Hager's hair during the live broadcast. Bush Hager debuted the new look during Tuesday's (June 17) broadcast, during which she admitted she's 'feeling a little strange.' 'You know that '90s movie Single White Female where you try to copy somebody to such an extent. You made this hairstyle so famous and then I used your hairstylist to get the same haircut and I'm feeling a little strange,' she told Bibb. Much like she did during the haircut, Bibb gave Bush Hager an empowering pep talk. 'No, you don't look strange. You look sexy, and powerful, and glamorous. And I kept saying it yesterday, you're a badass! You look so great!' the actress told Bush Hager. 'It's a big deal to do that.' Bush Hager went on to admit that she's feeling 'a little embarrassed' by all of the attention she's gotten for the haircut. She even shared that there were a lot of 'fake tears' and criticisms from her children when they saw her new haircut. 'Are those real tears? Your children are monsters! They're monsters,' Bibb jokingly responded. She later asked Bush Hager if she felt 'lighter' after getting the haircut. 'I felt lighter. There's a lot of change happening and I feel a little embarrassed by the attention. And I know the people who work for me are like, 'Mother loves attention,' but I felt a little embarrassed,' the Today host admitted. Just before getting her haircut on Monday's show, Bush Hager joked that the new look will help her shed all of the changes that happened this year – including, for example, Hoda Kotb's shocking retirement and exit from Today. 'I've been through change, I'm gonna wash the Hoda right out of my hair!' she joked, before quickly adding, 'I love her and she's still my friend, but maybe it's time for a whole new look.' Today with Jenna & Friends airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.

‘Today's Jenna Bush Hager Gives Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey Permission To 'Kiss Me On The Lips Whenever They Want' After Their Red Carpet 'Smooch'
Jenna Bush Hager made a spicy statement on Today With Jenna & Friends after seeing her former guest host Scarlett Johansson share a 'smooch' with Jonathan Bailey on the Jurassic World Rebirth red carpet. Bush Hager and comedian Michelle Buteau, who was guest hosting the show Wednesday (June 18) morning, watched the footage of the actors' kiss in slow motion. 'Those are two very good looking people right in there,' Bush Hager commented. But Buteau was a bit confused by the spectacle. 'I have friends… We don't do that. Maybe that's like some famous people stuff?' she told Bush Hager, who laughed in response. 'It's a little nasty, it's a little sexy, it's a little wild. Is that what famous people do?' Bush Hager couldn't answer Buteau's question, but she did make an offer to Johansson and Bailey ahead of their upcoming appearance on Today With Jenna & Friends. 'I feel like Jonathan Bailey or Scarlett Johansson can kiss me on the lips whenever they want,' Bush Hager stated. Even Buteau appeared shocked! 'Okay, we'll make that happen,' she said. Bush Hager appeared as if she wanted to take back that statement as she said, 'They're gonna be here next week. I'm now a little…' Buteau joked that the Today host was feeling bolder after getting her hair cut live on television earlier this week. 'One bob cut and we can't keep her contained!' Buteau joked. 'I would love to see that.' It's no secret that Bush Hager is a fan of Johansson. Johansson was one of the first guest hosts to join Bush Hager on Today With Jenna & Friends after Hoda Kotb's exit. The actress seemed to enjoy her short stint in daytime television and even told Bush Hager this was her 'favorite job' she's 'ever had.' 'I have to say this really fills my cup. I absolutely have to come back if you'll have me,' she told Bush Hager at the time. Now, it looks like Johansson will finally be back on Today to promote her upcoming blockbuster film. Here's to hoping she will be able to guest host Today With Jenna & Friends again! Today with Jenna & Friends airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.
