Rachel Weisz L'Oreal Ad: Banned in the UK!
Rachel Weisz looks unreal in her new ad for L'Oreal.
SO unreal, in fact, that Britain’s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) believes she looks unnaturally stunning and thus, the ad has been pulled from the UK.
Photoshop enhancements in beauty and fashion images are SOP, but some UK officials have been doing their part to put an end to airbrushing in excess.
The ad for L’Oréal’s Revitalift Repair 10 “misleadingly exaggerated” the antiwrinkle cream’s performance in relation to its claims, the ASA said. Take a look:
The ASA actually did state that “the image in the ad did not misrepresent the luminosity or wrinkling of Rachel Weisz’s face,” so she really is that luminous.
However, the ASA says the image was altered to make her complexion look even smoother and more even. That distinction, however vague, got it yanked.
Ads featuring Christy Turlington for Maybelline, Julia Roberts for Lancome and Taylor Swift for Covergirl have all been pulled for similar artistic liberties.
Other ads have gotten the boot for being too risque, particularly for beauty / fashion companies’ love of underage girls (i.e. Dakota Fanning for Marc Jacobs).
What do you think? Is a watchdog group keeping companies honest like this a good idea? Or just too nit-picky and heavy-handed by the government?
Georgia May Jagger, Daughter of Mick, Covers Harper's Bazaar UK
Move over, Kendall and Kendall Jenner. Sit down, Kaia Gerber. A new celebrity offspring has entered the modeling world.
Georgia May Jagger, the 20-year old daughter of rock star Mick Jagger, graces the March cover of Harper's Bazaar UK. And she isn't exactly shy:
Georgia's mother, Jerry Hall, tells the magazine that her daughter has actually helped resuscitate her career as a model.
"The last couple of modelling jobs I did were with Georgia, like the H&M campaign we did together last year, so she’s given me a bit of a revival. It was great to work with her; I think she’s incredibly sexy. One of the best things about her is that gap in her teeth. She never fixed it. It’s all about that acceptance of the way you are - and she understands that.”
Blake Lively Covers Elle, Doesn't Sleep Around
In March's issue of Elle, Gossip Girl star Blake Lively shows off her ridiculously good looks and fashion sense, modeling a red-hot Michael Kors swimsuit, suede and patent leather sandals by Pierre Hardy, a Blumarine jacket and other items.
Items most mortals couldn't afford, and wouldn't help us look as good as her anyway. Oh well! Did we mention she also dates Ryan Reynolds? Some people ...
On top of all that, Blake actually seems like a cool girl and pretty down to Earth for a star on the rise. Excerpts from the 24-year-old's interview with Elle ...
On the men in her life: “I’ve had four boyfriends in my whole life. I’ve never been with anyone that’s not a boyfriend. If I spend time with a man, it’s because I think there’s somebody that I know well who has been a friend for a while.“
On not having a stylist: “When I go to an event, I’ll send Christian (Louboutin) a picture of my outfit and say, ‘What shoes do you think I should wear with this?’”
On kids: “I hope to have a few girls one day. If not girls, they better be trannies. I have some amazing shoes and bags and stories that need to be appreciated.”
On reports that she and Ryan are apartment hunting: “Newspapers say a lot of stuff. I wish I could afford half the places I hear I’m looking at. Sign me up!”

SAG Awards Fashion Face-Off: Melissa McCarthy vs. Ashlee Simpson
Last night's SAG Awards brought out the best stars of film and TV.
Ashlee Simpson was there too! As you can see, Jessica's little sis is sporting short hair and a rail-thin frame these days. In a nice dress, sure, but she's looked better.
Contrast her with Melissa McCarthy, whose Bridesmaids quotes and Mike & Molly quotes leave us in stitches - and who proves you can be plus-sized and fashionable!
Which star looked better last night at the SAG Awards? Vote!
SAG Awards Fashion Face-Off: Tina Fey vs. Sofia Vergara
Both Tina Fey and Sofia Vergara came up short last night in the Best Actress in a Comedy category, losing to Betty White (see our full list of 2012 SAG Awards winners).
Consider this their chance at redemption.
The 30 Rock star is best known for being one of the funniest people on earth, but she's no style slouch, either. Sofia Vergara? She wows us with her dresses almost as much as she causes us to double over with her Modern Family quotes.

Every nerd's fantasy, Kaley Cuoco looked simply dazzling in her light blue gown, while Shailene Woodley, who branched out from her ABC Family hit to star alongside George Clooney in The Descendants, looked equally beautiful in a floral-patterned dress.

SAG Awards Fashion Face-Off: Emma Stone vs. Michelle Williams
They are young. They are talented. And they will be posing on the red carpets of awards ceremonies for many, many more years to come.
We're talking about Emma Stone and Michelle Williams, of course, both of whom looked dashing at last night's SAG Awards. The former starred in almost every movie that came out last year, but is most talked about these days for her role in The Help; while Williams is an Oscar contender for her portrayal in My Week with Marilyn.
We're huge fans of each, but only one can earn the title of THG Fashion Face-Off winner. Study their looks at the event and cast your all-important vote now:
SAG Awards Fashion Face-Off: Meryl Streep vs. Viola Davis
They are friends forced to be enemies during awards season, but both Meryl Streep and Viola Davis looked beautiful on the red carpet of the 2012 SAG Awards last night.
The latest round between this matchup of acting heavyweights went to Davis, who took home the trophy for Best Actress at the event, setting herself up as the Academy Awards favorite when that event airs on February 26.
But that's secondary to the following Fashion Face-Off, which pits one veteran against another. Do you like Streep's look? Prefer Viola's white gown? Vote now!
SAG Awards Fashion Face-Off: Lea Michele vs. Dianna Agron
Let's send either Lea Michele or Dianna Agron home a winner, shall we?
Neither of these Glee stars picked up any SAG Awards last night, and their show as also shut-out, but that doesn't mean both actresses didn't look beautiful and that one of them can't come out on top in this Fashion Face-Off.
Consider Michele and her major leg below, while comparing it with Agron's traditional purple gown and answer this simple question: Who looked best on the red carpet?
