C.J.: 'Split Ends' stylist swap needed conditioner; a new girl for Josh?

There was drama in the air at Twiggs on Friday as a crew for a reality show roamed the Wayzata salon and spa.

Not allowed to disclose the cable channel on which "Split Ends" will air, but here's the concept: Think "Wife Swap," only, instead of wives, salon stylists switch jobs.

Shauna Raisch, owner and expert stylist at Twiggs, was shipped out to Goodyear, Ariz., in exchange for Melissa & Co. stylist Crisanna Conrad.

Crisanna is not listed among the stylists on the Arizona salon's website because it reportedly hasn't been updated.

Word is Crisanna showed up her first day at Twiggs in a super-miniskirt, blue hair and a tongue ring. "Not one bit the Twiggs style," said Someone Who Would Know but shouldn't be quoted by name. Stylist professionalism is the buzz phrase at Twiggs, where blue hair and a tongue ring won't cut it.

Someone, however, said that this all made for the kind of on-camera tension that pleases network execs.

Shauna apparently didn't think much of the standards at Melissa & Co. Unless it winds up on the cutting room floor, Shauna can expect to be heard comparing someone at the Arizona salon to Cruella De Vil and Peg Bundy.

Just before I arrived at Twiggs on Friday, a hair-raising flare-up had occurred between Crisanna and her Wayzata colleagues. She was pulling herself together or pouting, depending on whom you asked, at the nearby Wuollet Bakery. Crisanna apparently got even with Twiggs staffers when it was her day to have total control of the salon for reality-show purposes. Word is Crisanna made stylist David wear a mesh shirt, cuffs, bunny ears and a bow tie for the day. That get-up reportedly had him feeling more like a donkey than bunny.

Boyfriend strikes a pose Boyfriend was the photographer on the crew hired by the "Split Ends."

Boyfriend is what former TV meteorologist-turned-e-marketing strategist Janie Peterson calls her husband and Peterson Productions partner, Chris Peterson.

Chris is a great father and husband, according to Janie, and one of the best video photogs in the metro, according to unbiased sources. What I did not know about Chris, however, is that when you address him as "Boyfriend!" he strikes a pose. See my Twiggs video at www.startribune.com/video.

Rumer and Josh? The National Enquirer says we may be adding Rumer Willis to the list of women who have touched the life of Josh Hartnett.

Perezhilton.com had a brutal take on the Enquirer's sighting of Willis and Hartnett getting cozy at NYC's Beatrice Inn. Perez also says that Minnesota's Hartnett was recently linked to Kirsten Dunst, "who is currently enjoying time in rehab."

Dunst? Who can keep up with Hartnett's love life. Dunst is a fine actor with an impressive résumé. However, even when Rumer is in a movie, her main claim to fame is being Demi's and Bruce's kid. Hope Rumer's MOD has hipped her to that Hartnett modus operandi (which is probably not all that different from Bruce's when he's on starlet patrol).

Props to Dad Word from somebody close to Jimmy Jam's family is that his kids were more proud than surprised to see Dad's move on the Grammy's stage Sunday with Morris Day, Jerome Benton, Jelly Bean Johnson, Jesse Johnson, Terry Lewis and Monte Moir.

I'm told that Tyler, Bella and Max, now of L.A. although all were born in Minnesota after their dad's years with the Time, were more proud than surprised. The kids know more of Dad's work as a music producer and newly elected chair of the Recording Academy, which gives out the Grammy Awards.

In a bit of backstage gossip, I'm told that Rihanna, who joined the Time on stage, reportedly had a couple of moments where she found it hard to follow the funk.
