Mariska Hargitay Pixied?

According to People.com, Mariska debuted a new pixie at a "cookie magazine" event this week. Anyone confirm or deny this?  People has a pic up on their website.

Appears to be true.

Though I like it short and think she had let it get WAY too long for her I liked it just above her shoulders the best.

Not the first time she has done that.  She is very pretty and wears the pixie very, very well!

I couldn't bring myself to reply to myself twice, but now i can reply again.

Good news, and very unexpected, I thought she'd keep it long for a while but she apparently missed it short. She can pull off long or short hair well, but I think looks much more distinctive with the pixie and has a great face for it, and I'm glad she returned to short.

      Well, I see that I've been outvoted. As short haircuts go, Mariska's is a very attractive cut.  Actually, I think pixie cuts look best a little shorter than this. BUT..... I think that the cut is unflattering on *her*. Like Michelle Williams, I think she looks 5-10 years older now. MH has harder features which looked beautiful to me when she had hair length. But sorry, she is not "cute" pretty, and short hair makes her look CPA-like and BORING. 

I'm surprised by the voters as well. I'm pretty depressed about the short hair.

I really liked Mariska when she had long hair during her "ER" days.

Yeah! Go Girl, Go Girl...Uh huh, Uh huh

Seems she did it unwillingly for the show:

"Onto guest Mariska Hargitay, with a newly cropped 'do, who was there watching the picture: "I just cut my hair. My 'Law & Order' boss suddenly decided I should cut it. It was traumatic. I was terrified. I've saved the hair." It's in an envelope in my house."

      Holy smokes, Fat!!! I feel terribly for her. The long hair WAS very lovely on her. It is revolting that producers have forced her to endure this aging, radically short haircut. It's a crying shame! I guess that corporate women should look unisexual.  Yeah, right. Only if your purpose is to upset and drive away a large portion of your male viewers. Bob

I wonder why her bosses felt she should cut it. She's had it short before. Surprised it's traumatic. It's part of Hollywood. If you have short hair, they make you get extensions. They cut long hair. Actresses know this and will doing anything for a role.

I don't like either picture on the People website. I like the Wireimage photos. I've liked it long too.

Bob, she appears to picking up mail viewers from the opinions above.

A little off topic, but you know, I hate to comment on any haircut or hair growth as "good news" or "bad news".  If the person looks better, yes it is good news, but as this is really a matter of personal taste, we really shouldn't say it's good or bad.  It is what it is.

Yes, it's areal source. I did a news search on Google and came up with it.

I was looking maybe for a link...

Don't see why you have to be so doubtful and irritable about it SSJ. There is nothing new about celebs having their hair cut for movies or TV series: think of Lauren Holly for example.

Are you just miffed because it seems Marisa didn't actually want to go short? Remember you're the one who keeps repeating ad nauseam that every woman should choose for herself. In this case, it actually seems that Marisa didn't really want to cut her hair.

P.S. They are quotation marks around what Marisa said.fatmoogas2007-05-02 19:25:58

Ugh... It seems almost cruel that they'd make her cut it after she grew it out for so long. Practically teasing her, you know?

Totally awesome!!  I have always liked her with short hair.  This cut is my favorite.

[/QUOTE] You can quote me on this: Her long hair was award-winning.

She was looking great with it long. Now will this save the show? I keep hearing that NBC has trouble with it's line up. Fox keeps getting into the 1 spot while NBC is in 4th. I just hope they go one more season before pulling the plug.

She's a short hair lady, so glad she cut her hair again she looks GREAT!

Poor woman 
When you have long hair and you lose it because of a natural problem it is one thing...but when there is nothing "wrong" with you and you are forced to chop it off, that's altogether another thing and it's terrible.

The cut suits her, but she looked better with long hair, definitely.

Cruel? She makes more money each episode than most people make in a year. Having her bosses tell her how they want her hair is a small price to pay. Would you cut your hair for $6.5 million? Not only is the show not in danger of being cancelled, Mariska is one of the highest paid actors on TV.

So, yeah, Mariska wasn't forced to do anything. For the money she's being paid, deciding her hair is the minimum her producers should ask her to do. Living in SoCal, I've met actors and actresses who would cut their hair for non-paying stage roles. I've met actresses who are very attached to their, but they'd part with it in a second if the role was a big break. Their work is way more important than their hair. If it wasn't, they'd be doing something else.
