    They weren't extensions, you can tell because they're cutting unevenly.

    It makes sense that it would be real because the person holding the camera probably got into a gigantic fight with the bride which made her post it on youtube.

    Whether it's fake or not, there's only one thing you can say:


    Women...

    Their reactions arent natural...

    "You're getting married before your big sister..."

    It sounds like something out of a movie.

    It's already made the Toronto Star.

    Is wiggy Bridezilla for real?

    TheStar.com - artsentertainment - Is wiggy Bridezilla for real?
    If she's indeed Canuck, bride's got better ratings than Corner Gas

    January 31, 2007
    Peter Howell
    Movie Critic

    A backstage peek at a bridal meltdown on YouTube.com has awestruck watchers worldwide popping the question: Is it drama queen or just drama?

    More than 1.8 million viewers have clicked onto the six-minute clip titled Bride Has Massive Hair Wig Out since it was posted Jan. 18 on the popular video-sharing website, where yesterday it was still on the front page.

    The clip reportedly comes from Canada. If so, it would rank amongst top Canuck shows. An average episode of the hit CTV series Corner Gas draws 1.5 million viewers.

    Opinion is divided over whether the clip is for real. It looks that way, but publicity-seeking pranksters might have faked it. Canadian film veteran Norman Jewison watched the clip at the Star's request and he's suspicious. He thinks the bride might be chopping off a wig, not her real hair. (The reference to "wig" in the title might be a deliberate clue.) But he said that even if it's fake, it's still a great performance by the woman some people are calling "Bridezilla."

    "Wouldn't you hire her as an actress? I sure would," Jewison said from his Toronto office. "If she's not one, then maybe she should become one. It's hysterical."

    The debate is more than idle amusement for the many who have been passing the video link along the global gossip circuit.

    It speaks to an increasing uncertainty in today's digital world over what's real and what's not, especially in the realm of popular entertainment where contrived documentaries like Borat and so-called "reality TV" challenge notions of veracity.

    The only sure thing is it makes for jaw-dropping viewing.

    Three bridesmaids gather in a hotel room for last-minute preparations for the wedding of their pal Jodie. The nuptials are just over an hour away.

    Bridesmaids Esther, Jessie and an unseen and unnamed third woman, who holds the camera, chatter happily and toast each other with champagne while waiting for Jodie to return from the hairdresser.

    Jodie storms in like Hurricane Katrina. She hates her hair, which has been done in curls with flower adornments.

    She wails inconsolably, despite assurances from Esther and Jessie. "It looks cute! It looks like Shirley Temple or something," Jessie says.

    "I look like a boy!" Jodie screams, glaring into the bathroom mirror.

    She bolts from the bathroom and grabs a pair of scissors. As her bridesmaids gape in horror and laugh nervously, she begins hacking away at her hair.

    As clumps of hair fall around her, Jodie realizes what she's doing. Then the hysterics really start, as she demands to know why her bridesmaids didn't stop her. Jodie finally rushes the camera in a rage and the tape abruptly ends.

    Now everyone is asking: what did Jodie finally do about her hair? Did she and her beau get married? And did this event really occur or was it staged?

    The clip was posted on YouTube by someone calling themselves "Wigoutgirl," who claims to be 25 and from Canada. Is "Bridezilla" Canadian?

    "Wigoutgirl" didn't respond to an email request from the Star for an interview and much prodding of YouTube for information yielded only a boilerplate response from spokesperson David Song: "It is our policy not to comment on individual videos."

    That's a big difference between new and old media. It would be inconceivable for a TV network or movie studio to release a video or film for public consumption without giving some indication as to its provenance and whether it should be viewed as a documentary or drama.

    But is it necessary in this day and age for such full disclosure? It seems it all depends on the context.

    "The whole essence of this website is that anything goes," said Jewison, whose five-decade filmmaking career includes the Oscar-nominated Fiddler on the Roof, Moonstruck and In the Heat of the Night.

    "I don't think you're watching this website to see anything that's professionally produced. It's people dancing naked or on their head. It's a freak show, is it not?" Jewison added.

    Another view of the truth vs. reality debate was offered by Allan King, the Toronto pioneer of the cinéma-vérité style of realistic documentaries like Warrendale and A Married Couple.

    "The whole arrangement of fact and fiction in our time has been extraordinarily blurred," King said from Regina, where he is editing his latest film.

    He hasn't seen the "Bridezilla" clip yet, but he ventured the opinion that it could be real, because the greater the emotion the harder it is to pretend.

    "I think if you get into passionate and strong feelings it's hard to fake that. The more emotional stuff is, particularly when it gets to intimacy, it's easier to spot the feigned. It's hard to believe that people would have sufficient acting skills to fake it."

    Jewison admits he could go either way on "Bridezilla." He's seen professional actresses completely lose their composure on movie sets. So maybe the clip is for real after all.

    On the other hand, Jewison also knows actors who would willingly chop off their hair for the camera, if it brought them useful publicity.
    "Maybe (Jodie) will go around and use this as her promo reel."

    If it's real, the girl at the door was definitely not a real friend...she couldn't stop laughing...

    Can't blame her, though :D.

    this is wonderful! time mag was right to put us as the "person of the year".

    rotflmao. "it looks like shirley temple or something." sooo evil, but sooo right on target as far as hilarity goes that it's spectacular. a line like that can't come from scripting... it's just the perfect line at the perfect time.

    "it's not that bad" was said several times. wtf? how is that consolement (is "consolement" even a word?).

    can't be fake. :D

    They all seemed a little young to me to be getting ready for a wedding...

    Looks like prom to me... prom age anyway...

    And I have my serious doubts that it's real.

    No bride I've ever heard of would dare chop their own hair off right before the biggest day of their life...

    Unless she was not in love with the dude...

    It does have the entertainment factor though, for sure. And it leaves you wanting to know more.

    They look like a bunch of high school girls at prom pretending to be at a wedding. I can't believe so many people are falling for this.

    Bridezilla video a made-in-Canada hoax
    Canadian is behind the popular video showing a bride's meltdown
    Ron Nurwisah, National Post
    Published: Thursday, February 01, 2007

    YouTube's latest sensation is a hoax with a Canadian connection.

    Over the last few days, a YouTube video of a young bride's meltdown over a haircut has been circulating on the internet. It would go on to get over 2.5 million hits and received mainstream media attention including a spot on NBC's Today show.

    But many questioned the authenticity of the 'bridezilla' video and it turns out the doubters were right. The angry bride and star of the video is 21-year-old Toronto aspiring actress Jodi Behan. In the video, the 'bride-to-be' enters a hotel room distraught with her haircut and proceeds to cut her hair as her 'bridesmaids' look on.

    Celebrity gossip blog Dlisted outed Behan yesterday afternoon after receiving a tip from a reader and even linked to the young woman's profile on popular networking site Facebook. “Sorry to burst your Bridezilla bubble,” the bloggers wrote.

    Most of the readers of the blog showed their anger at the duplicity but some were more supportive.

    “I'm totally not knocking her for becoming internet stars, and getting talked about all over the news. Fooling the Today Show? I think that deserves a pat on the back,” wrote user skinny-rabbit.

    Behan's video isn't the first internet sensation revealed to be a hoax. New Zealand Actress Jessica Rose and the creators of Lonelygirl15 received their share of anger when it turns out that they had made up their videos of Bree, a homeschooled American teenager.

    From Dlisted:

    Over the past few days I have received at least 15 emails with the above video. It’s some bride on her wedding day that completely freaks out after getting her hair done. She throws a huge tantrum and takes the scissors to her hair to “fix the problem.” When I first saw it, I was pretty skeptical. I’ve seen more believable meltdowns on “Fashion House.” According to Dlisted reader vZa the video is a complete phoney. The bride is aspiring Canadian actress Jodi Behan. You can find her on Facebook. She WAS a student at Loretto Abbey Catholic Secondary School.

    Again, I can't believe so many people thought it was real. She's not even a good actress.
