Beyonce looking too "white" in L'Oreal ads?

Rumor mills have been swirling all morning that L'Oreal has been altering Beyonce's features and skin color in recent ads.

The reps at L'oreal are strongly denying it and have released this statement:

"We highly value our relationship with Ms Knowles. It is categorically untrue that L'Oreal Paris altered Ms Knowles' features or skin tone in the campaign for Feria hair colour," the Paris -based company said in a statement.

A representative for Beyonce said the singer would have no comment beyond L'Oreal's statement.

What do you guys think?

Agyness Deyn engaged!

It Girl Model, Agyness Deyn is reportedly engaged to her Stroked guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr.

Agyness and Albert starting dating on June 20^th at the Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala in NYC. A source told US Weekly that the engagement was sudden and took place over the past few days.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Denise Richards "It's Complicated" gets the boot!

Bad news for all you Denise Richards fans.

Are there any?

After just one season, E! has decided not to bring the show back for a second season. We're so surprised to hear that! With quality shows like Keeping up with the Kardashians and Living Lohan, it's surprising that Denise's show wasn't thought of as a hit.

My theory on being a popular reality show requires an ensemble cast like the
Girls Next Door. With Denise's show, we only had one fake pair of boobs to stare at...

Guess E! will have to find another talentless, attention hungry actress to follow around on a quest for self promotion.

Britney fears Jayden James may have autism

Aside from her child custody battle, losing weight and getting her career back on track, Britney has some serious concerns on her plate!

Britney is scared that her youngest song Jayden may have autism and is working with Kevin to get Jayden tested immediately.

Family and friends are saying that Jayden is often seen to be off in his own little world, playing by himself, and he starts crying for no reason.

We hope that's not the case!
