Major drama for Paris Hilton this week: the heiress is in a hairy situation, now that she's facing a lawsuit over her hair extensions. HairTech International, the company behind DreamCatchers brand hair extensions, claims that Paris is in breach of contract — and it's suing her to the tune of $35 million.
When Paris cut her hair in 2008, HairTech International alleges, she wore another brand's extensions. Worse yet, they say, her pot-smoking case in South Africa and three-week jail stint in 2007 damaged the brand's sales. Paris's lawyers say there is "no merit" to the case, which may be true. After all, most of you said you wouldn't buy Paris's extensions anyway. Think there's a case, or is this a frivolous lawsuit?

- Apply lip conditioner, like Aveda Nourish-Mint Lip Treatment ($15) and then gently sweep over with a lightly powdered powder brush before applying lipstick. This helps lipstick adhere and stay put.
- Use your lip conditioner alone for a subtle sheen. This is especially nice if you're not into glossy finishes.
- Wear overnight as a hydrating treatment.

A majority of Bella readers admit that they've accidentally taken a beauty product for something else, but apparently Kelly Osbourne is also a member of the mistaken cosmetics brigade.
Yesterday, she twittered that she'd accidentally sprayed hairspray instead of deodorant into her armpits "again." Clearly, it's an issue she's run into before. If you've had the misfortune to mistake one beauty product for another, what did you do to make sure it didn't become a repeat performance? And have you ever had a funny case of product "mistaken identity?"
