FAST FOOD
Long Lunch?
Subway's latest sandwich: the $5 11-Incher? That's what was implied in a photo uploaded to the company's Facebook page showing one of its Footlong sandwiches falling short against a ruler. After the post went viral, Subway issued--and then promptly deleted--a response saying Footlong is "a descriptive name," not a measurement. The lesson here? Yes, Subway: size does matter.

On the eve of his second Inauguration, President Obama called the First Lady's much discussed new hairdo the "most significant event" of the festivity-filled weekend. If a brow-skimming fringe can upstage taking the oath of office, you know it's official--bangs are back.
MICHELLE OBAMA
She isn't the first FLOTUS to rock a fringe: Mamie Eisenhower was known for her short, tight "Mamie bangs," which women asked for by name in hair salons.
KARLIE KLOSS
When Vogue's top model of 2012 cut nearly 7 in. from her hair late last year, the magazine dubbed the fringed look "the cut of the moment." Will the Karlie become the new Rachel?

KERRY WASHINGTON
Although there is nothing scandalous about the Scandal star's new look, her blunt-cut bangs and blond highlights stole the spotlight at this year's Golden Globes
KIM KARDASHIAN
In a sign of just how trendy bangs have become, the mom-to-be tweeted photos of herself wearing clip-on bangs in December and debuted real side-swept ones on Jan. 14
