WATCH: Beyonce’s Sexy ‘Heat’ Commercial BANNED From Daytime TV

Beyonce’s new ad for her fragrance, Heat, is so hot it has been banned from daytime television in the UK.

The Advertising Standards Authority deemed the ad, in which Beyonce writhes around in a low-cut dress, “unsuitable to be seen by young children,” according to the Guardian.

ASA’s statement follows:

Beyonce’s body movements and the camera’s prolonged focus on shots of her dress slipping away to partially expose her breasts created a sexually provocative ad that was unsuitable to be seen by young children. We considered that the ad should not have been shown before 7.30pm due to the sexually provocative nature of the imagery.”

What do you think? Does this commercial warrant being banned?

Katy Perry’s New OPI Spring 2011 Nail Polish Collection Ad Campaign

Katy Perry has ditched the Elie Saab wedding dress and gone back to her fun-loving (and sexy) roots in the playful new campaign for her OPI nail collection, Chic Profile reports.

Posing against a vibrant backdrop featuring a peace sign drawn with nail polish, the “Firework” singer wears a purple wig adorned with pink gerber daisies, plus leather hot pants and a beaded and fringed California crop top thrown over a pink bikini.

Russell Brand is so thanking his lucky stars right now.

As we previously reported, the four-color collection will launch in January at Ulta.

Available for $9 each, the shades include Teenage Dream (a plummy pink sparkle), Not Like the Movies (metallic silver), Last Friday Night (a Crayola blue glitter), and The One That Got Away (a deepest dark berry purple).

CoverGirl launching upscale makeup line called NatureLuxe!

CoverGirl is introducing an upscale sister line called NatureLuxe.

Set to debut alongside their current offerings in drugstores nationwide, this cosmetics collection will target a more affluent customer who is interested in the “natural” beauty sector.

WWD reports that NatureLuxe is being positioned as a boutique brand with the launch of a Silk Foundation and Gloss Balm which both employ natural ingredients.

The foundation contains jojoba and rosehip extracts and cucumber water, and the balm is made with mango butter, shea and other hydrating butters, instead of heavier-feeling oils and synthetics.

In a nod to the green movement, CoverGirl is using a small amount of bioresin — a renewable, sustainable, sugarcane-derived plastic — in its packaging.

“This is a pilot test, and as we learn, it is our intention to increase the amounts we use over time,” said Dr. Sarah Vickery, principal scientist, CoverGirl Cosmetics in an interview with WWD.

CoverGirl spokesperson Taylor Swift will star in ads for the new luxury line of products.

Faith Hill Dishes on Her Favorite Beauty Tips — And Clean New Scent

Just one year after launching her first signature fragrance, Faith Hill Parfums, the country star recently debuted a second: Faith Hill True, by Coty.

Unlike Faith Hill‘s eponymous scent which was inspired by her Mississippi-upbringing (redolent with notes of magnolia, peony and crisp pear), True has a more “clean and fresh” profile of yuzu, lily and gardenia.

“I wanted to create fragrances that were classic and timeless,” she tells PEOPLE. “Scents you could wear everyday, whether you’re at home in your sweats or dressed up for a night out.”

With True, Faith joins hubby and fellow crooner Tim McGraw, who boasts three colognes of his own!

Smelling good is one thing, but how does the 41-year-old blonde bombshell always manage to look so good? “I moisturize my entire body, head to toe, including my lips,” Faith says. “I never go to bed without doing so.”

Keeping active with the star-loved Tracy Anderson method and going on brisk walks also helps keep the mother-of-three in tip-top shape.

Another easy tip to looking your best? “Always curl your eyelashes,” she shares with PEOPLE.

To check out behind-the-scenes footage and find out where to buy Faith Hill True near you, head to FaithHillFragrances.com.

Natalie Portman doesn’t understand the obsession with beauty

The ‘Black Swan’ actress hates being judged on her looks and can’t understand why some people, particularly guys, become so obsessed with their appearance.

She said: “Beauty can be a hindrance, especially if that’s the only thing that matters to other people. I’m also aware that being considered attractive can be a huge factor in getting work in my profession.

“Beauty can be boring if you’re with a guy who is focussed on his looks or your looks all the time.

“I know a lot of male actors who are totally obsessed with creating a certain look.”

Though Natalie, 29, doesn’t understand the fascination with looking good, she appreciates a man with confidence in themselves.

The actress – who is dating dancer Benjamin Millepied – added: “I appreciate men who are confident in their masculinity, who don’t need to work out every day, don’t fuss about their appearance. I prefer men who know what they want out of life.”
