Julia Roberts And Christy Turlington Too Airbrushed For UK Ad Standards

Jul 27, 2011 02:52 PM

airbrushing072711.jpg

Should airbrushing be illegal?!

Well, no one's really saying it should ... yet. But the UK's Advertising Standards Authority has a problem with two L'Oreal-brand ads featuring Julia Roberts and Christy Turlington, claiming the commercials have been a bit too Photoshopped.

The ASA ruled both ads breach the code for standards of exaggeration -- calling the advertisements misleading -- and they've banned them from future publication.

Roberts' ad for Lancome promotes Teint Miracle, which claims it creates a "natural light" on the skin. The campaign was shot by famed photographer Mario Testino.

Turlington is featured in an ad for a Maybelline product called The Eraser, which claims to erase wrinkle lines.

UK politician Jo Swinson, who is well-known for her battle against the unrealistic portrayal of women in advertising, filed the complaint with the ASA saying the ads are "not representative of the results the product could achieve."




X17 Poll

Is airbrushing wrong when promoting a product?

No; the models need to look good otherwise we won't buy the products.
Yes; if the product works, reality should be good enough.
There's a limit -- a little Photoshopping is okay but completely changing the image is wrong.

Julia Roberts To Play The Evil Queen In Untitled Snow White Film

Feb 9, 2011 10:33 AM

JRoberts230.jpgNo one ever accused the Evil Queen of not being hot.

Julia Roberts has officially signed on to play the meanest stepmother of all time, in an untitled Snow White film project set to be released in June 2012 ... six months before Snow White and the Huntsman hits theaters, featuring Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen.

Ryan Kavanaugh, CEO of film company Relativity Media, said in a statement:

    "Julia was our first and only choice to play the Queen. She is an icon, and we know that she will make this role her own in a way that no one else could."

The untitled film is based on Tarsem Singh's adaptation of the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs have yet to be cast in either film, but Kristen Stewart has been the rumored Snow White frontrunner for Huntsman.

Roberts' version will be a modern retelling of the story, featuring "more comedy and adventure", according to Variety.

We can't wait to see either film; it's been a long time since Snow White got an update!

Who will be the hotter Evil Queen: Julia or Charlize?
