Tulisa Contostavlos showed off a newly bleach blonde barnet outside the Royal Courts of Justice after settling one of the legal actions she had brought over the publication of a sex tape made with ex-boyfriend Justin Edwards.

The X Factor judge won an apology from Edwards and gave a statement outside the court as reported in The Telegraph:

"Justin Edwards's actions were to spite me, make money and ruin my career. He has succeeded in none of these things. I stand here today a stronger, wiser young woman who has taken this experience and learnt from it."

Tulisa appeared to be celebrating drawing a line under the experience with her new hairdo but we can't help but think she should have heeded these cautionary photos from a certain actress over in the US because the similarity between their bonces is worrisome...

Incidentally, Tulisa was also blonde during the time she was dating Edwards. We're not saying today's hair change is in any way meaningful on that front but it's something that popped into our brains so we thought we'd put it out there for you to read and then stroke your chins and say "Quite so, quite so..."
