Eric Bana and Connie Britton in Dirty John . Photo: Jordin Althaus/Bravo Dirty John is billed as true crime , but it would be more accurate to describe it as relationship horror. A dramatization of a Los Angeles Times investigation , which in turn became a buzzed-about podcast , the Bravo series recounts the cautionary tale of Debra Newell (Connie Britton), a fabulously successful Los Angeles–based interior designer who crashed and burned through four marriages but decided to reenter the dating pool at 50. Even if you don’t know the details of the real-life case, you’ll be yelling at the screen and yanking your own hair out at the bad decisions that draw Debra deeper into a potentially fatal morass. It’s like watching a Halloween movie, except instead of a serial killer with a butcher knife, the looming threat is a guy with a great chin and zero body fat who knows just what to say and doesn’t have an authentic cell in his body. He’s definitely a spirit killer, and he could be worse than that. Things start out awkward but not overtly alarming. Debra joins a service that matches up older singles and goes on a series of boring dates before clicking with John Meehan (Eric Bana), a silver fox who represents himself as a physician who’s done work in war zones for Doctors Without Borders, but might possibly be an anesthesiologist. John is a great-looking guy who can be butter-smooth when he’s trying to make a good impression, and if you’d only been out with him once or twice, you might mistake him for a good listener and a sweet man. But right off the bat, he gives off what Debra’s two adult daughters, Veronica (Juno Temple) and Terra (Julia Garner), instantly identify as danger signs. For one thing, John has no sense of boundaries or decorum: On their very first dinner date, he shows up at Debra’s apartment dressed in shorts and a polo shirt (an ensemble that makes Veronica mistake him for a UPS guy) and strolls in through the propped-open door … [Read more...] about Is a Real-Life Horror Story

CLICK TO VIEW GALLERY VIEW GALLERY January Jones revealed her hair secrets to HELLO! Congratulations on becoming the new face of Kérastase. How did you feel when you were asked? "Flattered and excited. It was a no-brainer for me – I'm a real fan and have used the products for years. I loved the fashion aspect of past campaigns and what the brand represents for haircare." You feature in the Kérastase "Hair Language" video, which aims to translate the meaning of common hair gestures. Which of them do you most identify with? "I tuck my hair behind my ear frequently when I'm nervous, anxious or even excited. I often have to remind hairstylists not to leave my hair down around my face for red carpets because it will inevitably be tucked sooner or later." Do you have any annoying hair habits? "I love scalp massage, so I'm often massaging my head in the car in traffic. I am also growing my hair out, so I often check to see how long it is." When acting, does changing your hair help you get into character?
