L'Oreal Is Racist

The French company appeared in court last week accused of using only white women to promote its Garnier shampoos.

Now Winslet and fellow British actor Clive Owen are facing pressure to end their associations with L’Oreal and make their stance on racism clear.

A Commission for Racial Equality spokesperson said: ‘We would ask those high-profile ambassadors to think carefully about whether or not they want to be associated with this organisation.

‘What a wonderful opportunity this could be to stand up to racism, to show that it simply has no place in today’s society.’ Winslet replaced actress Isabella Rossellini as the spokesmodel for L’Oreal-owned company Lancome’s Tresor fragrance just last month.

‘Inside Man’ star Owen was unveiled as the new face of Lancome’s luxury male skin products in May 2006.

Simon Woolley of race campaign group The 1990 Trust fumed: ‘It is shameful that those on L’Oreal’s payroll keep conveniently quiet. The correct thing to do would be to at least speak out or resign.’

Damn!!!!! Now I have to throw away all my L'Oreal products.... I wonder if I can get a refund....

Clive Owen Is The Face Of Lancome

The 'Closer' actor was chosen not only for his good looks, but also because of his acting achievements and work ethic, the cosmetic giant revealed.

Lancôme International's general manager, Odile Roujol, said: "The way he has built his career so far, privileging the quality of the director rather than the high-profile nature of a role, makes us feel very confident in the fact that if he chose to accept this collaboration with Lancôme, then it truly means our partnership was meant to be." Clive, 42, will be appearing in a series of adverts to promote new grooming products which include a fragrance and anti-ageing skin creams.

The 'Children of Men' actor joins a host of other celebrities who have fronted campaigns for Lancôme, including Uma Thurman and Isabella Rossellini.

Clive's ad campaign will be launched in the spring.
