Beyonce Knowles’ skin was reportedly digitally bleached in an advertising campaign for cosmetics giant L’Oreal.
The 26-year-old star - who signed on with the company as a spokesmodel in 2006 - is featured in an advertisement for L’Oréal Paris in the September (08) edition of U.S. women’s fashion magazine Elle.
The magazine includes a full-length head shot of the former Destiny’s Child singer as she pitches a hair-highlighting product - shocking readers who noticed her apparent change in appearance, according to the New York Post.
The company advertises their product in eight pages throughout the magazine - featuring a host of other celebrities including Scarlett Johansson, Milla Jovovich and Penelope Cruz.
A representative for Hachette Filipacchi Media - the company that publishes the magazine - has confirmed they are looking into the matter, adding magazine editors generally accept advertisers’ products without close inspection.
A spokesperson for L’Oreal Paris has not returned calls for comment, while Knowles’ publicist has denied seeing the advert.

Jay-Z must have just discovered that watermelons vaguely resemble breasts. According to U.K. magazine Female First, he demanded that a watermelon be carved into the shape of wife Beyonce Knowles’ breasts during his stay in Africa.

Jay-Z had the watermelon sculpture delivered to his $5,000 per night hotel room after his performance at the third annual Thisday Africa Rising Music Festival.

“One giant watermelon was split in two and ornately carved into a mold of Beyonce’s breasts,” a source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper. “Two cherries were used as nipples.”

The look of love was evident at two British music events this weekend. While Beyonce Knowles visited the Glastonbury festival on Saturday to watch new husband Jay-Z in action, Jennifer Aniston was in London’s Hyde Park to cheer on new beau John Mayer.

Even wearing an essential festival raincoat, Beyonce was her stylish best as she stood at the side of the Somerset stage for her husband’s set. And despite Jay-Z’s controversial signing as a headlining act at the legendary festival, the 38-year-old New York rapper succeeded in winning over his audience.

“This is a beautiful moment,” he told to the delighted crowd. “I’m glad to share it with each and every one of you.”

Meanwhile, in the British capital, Marley & Me star Jennifer Aniston was thrilled to see her boyfriend of three months performing alongside acts including Eric Clapton at Hyde Park Calling.

And Jennifer - who has been in Britain for the last week as John tours the UK – obviously wanted to capture the special moment. The 39-year-old beauty, who was dressed in a summery black and white dress, snapped photos of her man on stage with her own camera as he rocked the London festival.

Rap superstar Snoop Dogg has offered newlyweds Beyonce and Jay-Z some words of advice for a happy marriage - start a family.
The hip hop star - real name Calvin Broadus Jr. - insists the superstar couple should snub their careers and concentrate on producing a brood of children.
He tells People.com, “I told them to go home and make babies. They should, that’s the next step as far as marriage, having kids … add on to the family, so hopefully that’s what they’ll do.”
But the rapper, who has three children with wife of ten years Shante, isn’t taking his own advice on board - insisting he isn’t keen on the idea of adding to his family.
When asked if he was planning another tot, he says, “No. I’m good.”
And his views on the secrets of a successful marriage: “Communication, and being able to fight and get back up. To have misunderstanding and (then) get some understanding.”
Broadus is father to 13-year-old Corde, Cordell, 11, and Cori, eight.
