"Courtney Stodden is a blonde bombshell no more. The newly single 19-year-old -- who split from her 53-year-old husband, Doug Hutchison, in November -- is embracing her dark side by dyeing her trademark platinum tresses a dark brunette color. She showed off the new look at the Wowie Awards on Dec. 12. See more photos of Courtney Stodden.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Lately I&amp;apos;ve been a little bit of a daredevil, and I&amp;apos;m trying to enter into the next chapter of my life,&amp;quot; the Celebrity Big Brother U.K. star explained to Us Weekly at the Globe Theatre in L.A. &amp;quot;I thought this was kind of a good example to prove to myself that I can do it. It was a huge risk, but I&amp;apos;m glad I did it.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThat said, she&amp;apos;s still getting used to the idea of herself as a brunette. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s really new. When I walk by a mirror I&amp;apos;m thinking I&amp;apos;m blonde,&amp;quot; she said of the makeover, which happened earlier this week. &amp;quot;Like, &amp;apos;Oh my God -- who is that? It&amp;apos;s me!&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;I feel born again,&amp;quot; she added. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m excited to go out and see the life of a brunette.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nShe&amp;apos;s also excited to see the life of a single 19-year-old. Having married Hutchison when she was just 16, Stodden missed out on some typical teenage rites of passage -- like getting her driver&amp;apos;s license.\r\n&amp;quot;When I was 16 I got my marriage license, but I didn&amp;apos;t get my driver&amp;apos;s license,&amp;quot; she quipped. &amp;quot;So those kinds of things I&amp;apos;m really excited about doing.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
