Pamela Anderson's short hair improved her love life.
The former 'Baywatch' babe - who married poker player Rick Salomon for the second time earlier this year - unveiled a short cropped pixie hairstyle last year and says it has remarkably changed her life for the better in some surprising ways.
She told French magazine Purple: "This haircut convinced a lot more people. It has struck a chord. It amazes me - even in love - how it's changed everything and encouraged real soul connections, less superficiality.
"I told Paul Desmarre of Christophe Salon Beverly Hills to come to my house later and cut it. Three hours later and voila!
"Not to get too personal, but it really helped me get out of a 'situation' that was not right, no matter how hard I wanted to believe otherwise.
"My family and dearest friends didn't bat an eye. I'm surprised we're even talking about this and at all the attention it's generated. I'm grateful, though; the response has been shockingly positive."
The 46-year-old star appears naked in a set of arty photos for the magazine and admits she is still a show off on camera, years after stripping off for Playboy for several cover shoots.
She added: "I'm a bit of an exhibitionist, and I like having the pictures taken. But seeing these was really something different, something we did. It's like a launching pad for what I'll do now.
"While looking at the pictures I was thinking to myself, is that really me? I mean you don't take a bad picture -- people always look their best in your pictures. It still was a shock to see how strong I look."

Tom Fletcher has written a song in tribute to his son, Buzz Michaelangelo.
The McBusted singer and his spouse Giovanna welcomed their first child into the world on March 13 and now Tom has posted the adorable track 'From Bump to Buzz' on YouTube accompanied by a black and white video which shows his wife's bump growing for nine months until Buzz was born.
In the video Tom stands opposite Giovanna holding a guitar and singing, while she's wearing a crop top to show her ever expanding bump and ends with the happy couple holding the little one in their arms.
Tom wrote on Twitter, "Well, here it is..."From Bump to Buzz" (sic)"
including a link to the video.
He then re-tweeted Giovanna's message: "So... I've been busy growing a little something over the last nine months... here's our 'something new'. Xxx (sic)"
Among Tom's lyrics are the lines: "There will come a morning you will open up your eyes, but it's what you do until that day arrives.
"You want to touch a mountain, taste the waterfall, you only have to see one, than you've seen them all.
"Gonna bet that tomorrow, that the sky is blue. I guess I'm ready, I think I'm ready, I hope I'm ready, for something new."
The musician is adjusting to parenthood and is surprised how quickly time has flown by since Buzz was born.
He added: "Buzz is now officially 1 week old. They grow up so fast! (sic)"

Samuel L. Jackson joked about learning his 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' lines with one hand covering his eye.
The 65-year-old actor plays S.H.I.E.L.D director Nick Fury, who wears an eye patch over his left eye in the superhero film, and admitted he had difficulty adjusting his sight to read the script when he was in costume.
Talking at the film's press conference at London's Dorchester Hotel yesterday (20.03.14), he told BANG Showbiz: "I've learned to turn my head further, actually. The interesting thing about the patch, that I didn't discover until Captain America, the first one - coz I never had never many lines to say - was when I all of a sudden had dialogue and I would learn it the night before, when I got to work I could only see half the page when I put the patch on. So, I have discovered I have to learn my lines now with one hand covering my eye so my mind will absorb what's going on in there. "
Jackson also hailed army soldiers, who he views as society's real life heroes, since they risk their lives for the benefit of others.
He added: "The young people who put their lives on the line for us, so that we do have the freedom to make movies like this and tell stories like this, because we do have a volunteer army now, it's not like people have to do it. Those young men and women who go out there, put their lives on the line, and go to different countries. They make sure we can do what we do I admire them greatly."

Anthony Mackie is in talks to join the cast of 'Triple Nine'. The 35-year-old actor is in negotiations to join a star studded cast which includes '12 Years a Slave' star Chiwetel Ejiofor, Labor Day's Kate Winslet and model Gal Gadot in Open Road's co...

Kylie Minogue's next tour will be more "streamlined".
The 'Into the Blue' singer is known for her show-stopping, lavish tours, but she has now decided to strip back the production on her upcoming 'Kiss Me Once' Tour and has taken inspiration from the intimate feel of her own house.
She explained: "I'm currently obsessed with this kind of 1970s, soft-focus sexiness - I mean, I'm on the verge of putting a brown-orange sofa and maybe an orange lamp in my house.
"My shows have a reputation for being over-the-top, but I really want this one to be more streamlined, with more of that vibe.
"There will probably still be glitter and feathers. I just definitely don't think bigger is necessarily."
The pint-sized star parted ways with her manager of 25 years, Terry Blamey, last year to join Jay Z's Roc Nation, and she claims it was the "perfect time" to switch management teams.
Kylie, 45, told the Metro newspaper: "I used to joke with Terry that they might as well pickle us, we'd worked together so long. So to change was a big deal but it was totally harmonious. It was the perfect time to wrap it up."

Shakira "bosses" Jay Z about.
The 'Hips Don't Lie' hitmaker, who will release her self-titled 10th studio album on Monday (24.03.14), her first record since signing to Jay Z's Roc Nation label, insists the 'Holy Grail' hitmaker does not tell her what to do.
She told The Sun newspaper: "He's not my boss. He is my manager. In fact he says that I boss him around.
"But he is a great manager. He is very chilled, which is important.
"I think male managers are very relaxed and they know how to handle very stressful situations.
"The thing with women is we give so much importance to every little detail. Everything has the same level of importance. We lose perspective, or at least I do.
"The hairdresser didn't turn up! Arrrrrgggghhh, what can I do? It's the end of the world!
"Where's men's minds don't work like that so they have to prioritise so that puts things in perspective."
Shakira, 37, thinks women can be more "hysterical" when things go wrong and they "lose it" more than men.
She explained: "But Jay Z, in particular, keeps his cool, which is great for me because with a female artist's career there is always some chaos."
'Shakira' is her first English-language album since 'She Wolf' was released in 2009 and her first as a working mum, after giving birth to 14-month-old Milan, her son with FC Barcelona player Gerard Pique.
She added: "It's exciting to be back. A bit scary and exciting at the same time and I honestly don't know how I do it. Only we women can multitask in the way we do. Men would never be able to juggle in the same way."

Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have hired Spanish nanny Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo to care for their son Prince George.
The royal couple are "delighted" the full-time child minder has agreed to join their household and will be assisting them during their 19-day trip to Australia and New Zealand next month.
A spokesman for Kensington Palace said: "Maria is a full-time nanny, who started work with us recently, and will be accompanying the Duke and Duchess and Prince George to New Zealand and Australia.
"We will not be giving further details on Maria or her employment, except to say that the Duke and Duchess are of course delighted she has chosen to join them."
Maria trained at the prestigious Norland College in Bath, which teaches nannies how to care for children during an intensive full-time three-year degree course, costing a total of £36,000.
The nannies are taught how to deal with potential kidnappers with the use of their Tae Kwon-Do skills, intruding paparazzi, and how to drive at high speed in any weather conditions.
Maria, thought to be in her 30s, has been working for the royal family for the past few weeks.
The couple recruited the new child minder to look after eight-month-old George after Jessie Webb, 71, who previously looked after William when he was a child, gave her notice in last month.

Johnny Vegas is to return to 'Benidorm'.
The 42-year-old comedian - who starred in the ITV show from 2007 to 2009 - is set to make a comeback to the sitcom next year as his well-loved character Geoff Maltby, alongside Crissy Rock, who will play Janey York again, and Elsie Kelly as Noreen Maltby.

"We're equally pleased that some familiar faces from the Solana's past will be making a welcome return to the sunshine."

Their teenage son Michael - played by Oliver Stokes - is also being written out, but script writer Derren Litten has promised the well-loved family will leave on a high.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "It's a huge shame the Garveys are leaving because they've been in every series and the fans love them, but writer Derren Litten is excited about their exit storyline.
"He wants them to leave with a bang -- though he'll definitely leave the door open for them to return."

Kylie Minogue wants to be a Bond girl.
The 45-year-old singer would love to appear as Daniel Craig's love interest in a future installment of the James Bond film series, although she knows she would have to do it soon as she's not getting any younger.
She said: "I would be the oldest bond girl but of course it would be amazing."
The 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' hitmaker would follow in the footsteps of actresses including Halle Berry, Naomie Harris and Gemma Arterton if she locked lips with the famous spy character, and claims she would love to do more acting.
She added to the Daily Star newspaper: "I guess I get to do some kind of acting, doing videos or putting on a confident face when I don't really feel that way. But proper acting, I get such a thrill out of that."
The Australian beauty - who split from her boyfriend of five years, Andres Velencoso, last year - also opened up about her search for the right man.
She said: "He needs to be sincere, funny and be able to cope with me and my lifestyle. He has to be someone I admire as well."

Justin Bieber wants a house on the Isle Of Wight.
The 'Boyfriend' singer is thinking of investing in a holiday home on the island - located on the English Channel and only accessible by hovercraft or boat - as a perfect location to enjoy secluded holidays with on-off girlfriend Selena Gomez.
An insider told Showbiz Spy: "Justin wants somewhere quiet to escape to when it all gets too much.
"England has always appealed to him, and he wants somewhere that feels like it's cut of from the rest of the world - which is why he has his heart set on the Isle of Wight."
The 20-year-old pop star has already got his team on the hunt for the right house, and is sparing no expense.
The source added: "His people are putting out feelers and trying to find him the perfect property for him and Selena to enjoy as and when they feel like it. Of course, money is no object."
The property hunt comes after Justin sold his Calabasas home in Los Angeles to Khloe Kardashian earlier this month, following a string of complaints from neighbours over his wild antics.
Justin is now planning to settle into a home in Atlanta, Georgia as part of a bid to launch a hip-hop career.

will.i.am was starstruck by Joanna Lumley.
The 'Absolutely Fabulous' legend spent four days at 'The Voice' coach's home in Los Angeles for her new TV documentary, 'Joanna Lumley Meets will.i.am', and he admits he was taken aback when they first met because he is a fan of her champagne-swilling character Patsy in the sitcom.
He said: "I was a fan of 'Absolutely Fabulous', but her acting was so freakin' out of this world that I didn't realise she was the person who played Patsy. The first time I met her I thought, 'Oh my gosh, you're the woman from Absolutely Fabulous!' "
And the 'Bang Bang' hitmaker is also a fan of Joanna's most recent role opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in a big budget movie.
He added: "She was really good in 'The Wolf of Wall Street'."
will admits he had to ask his mother for permission to invite Joanna, 68, to their home in Los Angeles for the documentary because his family is incredibly private.
He explained to Radio Times magazine: "I'm private because of my mum. The neighbourhood we came from wasn't pretty an she raised us not to share with people the things we hold scared.
"I speak to her every other day and there's certain things I still have to ask her permission for. I wanted to do this documentary because it's rooted in my charity work."
