CELEBRITY BATHROOM

We caught the very busy VJ-actress Hilarie Burton at the MTV Studio bathroom in NYC right after she flew in from North Carolina. And, boy, were her arms tired! (Sorry....)

ELLEgirl: So, on TRL you have straight hair, and on One Tree Hill you have curly hair. What gives?
Hilarie Burton:
My hair is naturally tight and curly. If you watch the first episodes of One Tree Hill, it's really curly, but we've loosened it up since. I straighten my hair out of sheer laziness, because then I don't have to wash it. Recently, I got bangs for the first time, and I don't know what to do with them! I gotta figure them out.

EG: Would you ever consider getting your hair permanently straightened?
HB:
No. I like versatility, and maybe that's part of being young and fickle, but I'm into wearing my hair curly in the morning and straight at night.

EG: You recently moved into your house in Wilmington, NC, where you film One Tree Hill. How are you going to decorate your bathroom?
HB:
It's an old house, from 1880, so I'm going to renovate it. All I really want is a Jacuzzi and an old dresser with a sink built into it. I bought these really soft white towels that are made from beech trees. They only sell them at Bed Bath & Beyond.

EG: You travel a lot. What are the essentials in your makeup bag?
HB:
I'm a sucker for mascara-I love it! I want to try the Lancome Hypnose mascara, but it doesn't come in waterproof yet, and I only use waterproof because my eyes water a lot from my contacts. Right now, I'm using a L'Oreal mascara. I use Neutrogena concealer, because I like the felty tip-it feels like you're coloring your face with a marker. The thing I'm pretty into right now-like, this week- is this Lip Venom Sheer Lipstick. I like the way it stings.

EG: You grew up with three younger brothers. How was sharing the bathroom with stinky boys?
HB:
Well, they were filthy. They always blamed me for the bathroom being dirty. When we moved to another house, I had my own bathroom, but their bathroom was still dirty! I had been cleaning up after them for all those years.

EG: Besides TRL and One Tree Hill, do you have any projects coming up?
HB:
I did an indie movie called Our Very Own [due out later this year]. I play the firecracker, Bobbie Chester, which was a nice change from playing moody Peyton Sawyer [on One Tree Hill].

EG: Of course, we have to ask you-over or under with the toilet paper roll?
HB:
Over! I hate the Under. Why reach further for it than you have to?
