Jennifer Aniston's Hairstylist Dumps Her!

Maybe Now She'll Finally Do Something Different With Her Hair!

Let's face it, sans the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt connection, Jennifer Aniston's hair is pretty much the most interesting thing about her.

While the news was abuzz with her split from Twitter twit John Mayer,The Baster star also parted ways with the most important man in her life, longtime hairstylist Chris McMillian.

In the most unkind cut of all, the man responsible for Jen's "Rachel" 'do ended their relationship after 15 years (longer than her marriage!), reportedly to focus more attention on his other celebrity clientele (read: people more famous than her). Plus, there's only so many breakups and cookie cutter rom-coms Chris could fake interest in before he simply snatched her bald-headed.

The actress with obsessive tress tendencies shelled out $56,000 to have Chris by her side for a full week during her overseas press junket for Marley & Me. There was a first class flight from L.A. to London, a week-long stay at Four Star hotels, and of course, the daily style bill of over $2,000. And that wasn't even counting the $5,600 she paid to fly Chris over to the Paris premiere.

Unless he was blowing her hair dry with pure gold, we're not sure she got her money's worth since her hair looks the same. At. Every. Single. Event.

Reportedly Jen is taking the loss of her hair guru harder than the bust up with John. The sitcom vet refuses to mix with the NY cast and crew of her new flick, preferring to eat and spend time alone. And they were amazed when she asked for more time to get ready during her first day on set because she was unhappy with her hair. Ken Paves' hair extensions would have fixed her right up in a jiff.

"Jen refused to walk even a step outside the restaurant during the break for lunch," says an insider. "She had her car pull up right next to the restaurant so she could be driven less than a block to her trailer to avoid photographers." Note to Jen: that kind of diva behavior only works with people who are way more famous than you. Like Mariah Carey.

And keep in mind that Jennifer's hair is parted down the middle. Again, parted down the middle. That's it. Yet, she requires a Spartan army around the clock to do something any woman could do in ten minutes with a hairbrush and a blow dryer.

Break down the cost by strand. According to our intensive research (i.e. Google), the number of hairs on a woman's head varies by her hair color. For instance, people with blonde hair have 140,000 hairs but Jennifer isn't a natural blonde (do any actually exist?) so just store that little tidbit in your useless trivia memory bank.

People with brown or black hair have about 100,000, so by our calculations, Jen spent only 50 cents a hair. What a bargain!

But when your entire career is pretty much based on how good your hair looks and you're competing against Angelina that's just splitting hairs.

Jen really needs to start dating not - so - hot guys. Yes , she has had a pretty good Hollywood makeover throughout the years , but not Brad Pitt or John Mayer good enough. On top of that she's boring and likely a pain in the ass to these " so much hotter than her " guys . Maybe she should date an newsman or a golfer.
