yeah! haha when miley cyrus chopped off her length, i was like DANG! she still looks good, but it was a pretty big change.

I don't think necessarily ALL the stars are doing it. This comes and goes in waves.

For the slideshow, it doesnt say the date of when the stars cut their hair. Jessica Alba has had short hair before. same with Jennifer Aniston. With high profile people, they will always feel like they need a change because they are folks who are always on the move.

Emma Watson cut her hair just to experiment because she had to have her hair long for Harry Potter for her whole life. so shes going through her experimental phase now (if that ever really ends).

Some of those haircuts are really cute. It makes me wish I could afford celeb-quality extensions so I could chop my hair off whenever I felt like a change

They're doing it because they can. They have money to look good and if they dislike the haircut they can always get extensions. Long hair in terms of "fashion" comes and go's.

This! I also don't really understand why people care about this sorta thing.

It's our culture and in our nature. Perfectly normal.

A lot of times, from actor interviews I have read, it is done for parts they play and comes under requirements of the job, unless they want to wear wigs. It can just be easier and less expensive to cut the hair and or colour it than the alternatives.

Well I think 3 different reasons, really:
1. Damage due to chemical abuse, styling stress, heated tools.
Often actors, ect have to change up color, hairstyles for roles and have their
hair heat styled on a regular basis which naturally is going to lead to damage.
2. Different roles, ect.
Perhaps they need to change lengths or colors for a role.
(although they could use wigs or extensions for that) I once saw Jane Seymour
sporting short hair for a roleTurned out to be a wig(whew!)
3. Artistic creativity. As said above, they have money and can afford to expirement more with the hair than those of us on a budget, and get beautiful extensions to wait out the grow out.

I think it is several different things, and long hair is in fashion right now. I think some of the teens, or the disney stars cut it because they wanted to get away from the disney-image, and look older. And maybe because they wanted a change

I think it can be for many reasons. Job necessity like some mentioned before, personal feeling or because it is a trend, and celebrities are usually the first to try it. For example, in my college is going on this new thing of chopping most of the hair or shaving the whole head in girls.
It's nice to experiment once in a while, can you imagine if all of us had long hair? It would be actually pretty cool, lol lol.
