The Lighter Side of Beyoncé Knowles

by Celebuzz on Aug. 7, 2008 04:50 PM / 7 Comments

Whoa; there's something shady about Beyoncé Knowles' new print ad for L'Oreal Paris' Feria hair color.

Jay-Z's girl looks like she's seen a ghost—or perhaps been injected with a bit of Gwyneth Paltrow's DNA.

The Internet's been buzzing with rumors that L'Oreal gave Knowles the reverse O.J. treatment. But according to E! Online, the cosmetics big-wigs deny messing with Beyoncé's complexion.

"Beyoncé Knowles has been a spokesperson for the L'Oréal Paris brand since 2001," says a company spokesman. "It is categorically untrue that L'Oréal Paris altered Ms. Knowles' features or skin-tone in the campaign for Feria's hair color."

Hmm; that seems pretty questionable, L'Oreal, but thanks for enlightening us. You seem to be pretty good at that sort of thing.

Quotables /

“Vitiligo has reared its controversial head again. In a new L'Or�al ad, Beyonce looks like she's been a little.....whitewashed. Seriously, is that Cheryl Ladd?

Everyone's trying to capture the perfect balance between black and white. Beyonce's letting herself be lightened from caramel to too much milk in your coffee. Meanwhile, certain types of white women are sploshing themselves all over with fake tanner.

When will we like who we are, he shrieked?!?!

Oh who am I kidding, if I wasn't such a lazy sloth - I'd be in the tanning bed everyday. Seriously, I'm Irish. I look like fat milk.

Please, will everyone join me in a sing-a-long of Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful?" It's the only thing that's going to get us through this crisis.”

So what? Beyonce wants to look more white and so do MOST black women. That's why they straighten their hair and uses extensions. Black woman hair doesn't look like that. When is the last time you seen a black woman with an afro? Exactly. Black men like white women and will only date a black if she's "got her weave on right". No perm, no love! Black females put all kinds of God awful chemicals in their hair every day just to look like the cute white chick next door. Black hair ain't meant to blow in the wind! You all doing all you can to look like white people. Why shouldn't Beyonce? Anyway only a piss poor businessperson would cater to blacks. Blacks don't wanna pay for anything. They'd rather steal and bootleg everything they own. Look at all these rappers that gotta run drugs on the side just to keep up appearances. Every car and every piece of bling belongs to rent-a-center. You can't make a living with blacks as your fan base. Go head Beyonce!
