Loreal Cosmetics has issued a statement regarding little Ms. Bright Light’s new ad:

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 color…

Beyonce and her management have said that they will not issue any further coment beyond what Loreal has released.

Loreal is the worlds largest cosmetic maker and $4 million is alot of dough. We all knew Beyonce and the rest of the Knowles clan are money makers but is selling out the answer. We are dumbfounded that they are standing by Loreal maintaining that the photo is unaltered!

Shame on you Beyonce!

We have been hearing conflicting reports concerning Bernie Mac’s current condition so GIN will refrain from reporting any information until the details are clear.

It has been rumored that Kanye West is in talks of purchasing the German clothing brand Jil Sander. This is on the heels of West being named on Vanity Fair’s famous Best Dressed List. For years Kanye has been known for his love of fashion and even toyed with the idea of starting his own line Pastel, which never came to fruition.

During Paris Fashion Week in February, West & Jil Sander creative director Raf Simons had the chance to talk and are interested in callaborating in the future.

Think wisely before your sign the deal Yezzy. Jill Sander has been praised critically for their designs but the brand is underperforming financially and is in need for someone to make the brand some profits.

And can Kanye afford it? The asking price is a whopping $235.5 million. And West has never released his net worth but an investment in Fashion may be a wise choice since the music industry and album sales are so fickle.

This is totally unacceptable and until we find out the real deal GIN will be removing the photos of baby Nahla. We’ll have to wait until Halle decides to share her daughter to the world instead of using unethical and drastic measures for obtaining a picture!
