While Pattinson’s locks have never been quite as iconic as, say, Bieber’s mop, the British actor’s flowing, non-threatening male hairdo has become sort of synonymous with his Twilight character Edward Cullen.

Now filming has stopped on the Twilight series – at least until later this year, when a sixth movie is to be shot – Pattinson has been freed of any obligation to keep the pretty boy look. The new look is more Cockney-lad-on-the-lash-in-Ibiza.

At the People’s Choice Awards gala in LA, the British actor rocked his closely cut crop as he accepted the award for Best Drama Movie for Water for Elephants. His speech doubled as an opportunity for teen girls around the world to delight/hyperventilate/break down at the sight of the new ‘do.

After being handed the gong by Zacchary Levi and his former Twilight co-star Ashley Greene, Pattinson told the audience at the Nokia Theater:

“Wow. Thank you very much. I don’t know why they asked me to accept it because it’s really a lot of other people as well. When I was doing this movie, I was having so much fun doing it that I was saying to everyone I didn’t even care if anyone saw it. But now that people have seen it and they’re giving awards for it, I’m even more thankful for the whole experience, so thank you guys very much.”

But nobody was listening at that point. It was all about the hair. So what is it readers, a ‘yay’ or ‘nay’?

Katy Perry was set to step out onto the public stage at the People’s Choice Awards for the first time since her announced divorce from British comedian Russell Brand last month and now the pop singer has cancelled those plans.

Perry announced the cancellation to her Twitter followers with the simple tweet:

 ”Unfortunately I will not be able to attend.”

Perry didn’t give a reason for missing the upcoming Wednesday night awards show but she did add:

“I want to thank u all for voting for me, fingers crossed! #KATYCATS.”

The show is already set to feature a wide variety of celebrities including Julianne Hough, Demi Lovato, Robert Pattinson, Alyson Hannigan and many others.

Representatives for the People’s Choice Awards have also remained mum on the Katy Perry cancellation.

Oddly enough it was recently announced that Russell Brand was uninvited from the People’s Choice Awards in Los Angeles in order to avoid any uncomfortable or outright awkward confrontations between the former couple.

Are you surprised to learn that Katy Perry will not be attending the People’s Choice Awards or was avoiding the public spotlight and all of the questions she would undoubtedly receive a smart move just one month into the filing of divorce papers?
