#1 wooo fuck!
Go Reese! I've been a fan since she was in Man on the Moon. With her gorgeous face and personality, she'll make a great spokes model.
Whats up with her chin? That's looking advanced pointy.
First I love Reese

I love Reese!!!! Best actress alive
lovely!! this is what we need more of in these young fresh talented ladies!!
Leisa, i totally agree!
GO REESE GO
9th
reese!

Dude, I like your site and check it many times a day when I can, but instead of rushing to post, afraid someone else will beat you to it, take a second to check your spelling and grammar.
Look at how fucking slutty celebrities can be when it comes to 'charity' they're so fucking fake it sickening. Being a spokeswoman or 'global ambassdor' is just a bunch of buzz words, this isn't the UN this is AVON!! OMG please, really though, real charity comes from people who actually do the goddamn work and not just show up for special events and fundraisers. Charity and Celebrity are two words that don't belong in the same sentence!
chiiin!!!
reese is gorgeous!
If she rings my doorbell, I'll definately buy anything from her.
YAY AVON!
hah in yo face sukkkkah
People who post….please learn how to spell DEFINITELY. You're all adults, right?
AVON is some nasty ass shit fuck product…
eeewwwww i HATE avon products… why couldn't she have been a spokesperson for a good product… like Benefit or Bare Escentuals or something that ppl actually wear and is CUTE! oh reese… god bless your little soul
it's still crap.
Jesus! What the hell happened to her face!
She wasn't ugly before, was she?
That chin is fucked up! And those eyes looked messed too.
She's so cute!
Sorry Reese is sooo boring. Can you get more white bread? Nice girl though.
The Avon Global headquarters are actually located in my town….maybe she'll stop by =D
Reese has always been fugly. You just now caught that. Run, Jake, run. You can do soooooooooooooo much better than this hag. Leave her for Vinnie boy.
HUGE CHIN
Horrible picture! What's up with the teeth? What the hell happened to her face!
soooo sad that when j hud appeared in the avon ad it was low rent but when reese signs on it is fab!! avon is obviously moving in a new direction. congrats to the company and the women involved with the brand (j hud, celine and reese) and don't foget derek jeter. wow!! that doesn't sound too low rent to me. it is okay to be positive. you will still make money and be loved.
Amen Halli; these movie people make so much money off us already, so I can't side with something just because these PHONY Bitches are behind the name. PLZ I like Reese but why would they deserve anymore than they could use or spend in a lifetime!
she has the same chin as maniston…….yuck
Why don't you call her LOW RENT like you did with Jennifer Hudson? Reese needed jizz.
All about the money just like Perez. At least she gets involved in something not completely self serving. You always comment on how lowbrow Avon is and I would not expect a man that has never bought one beauty product- not even soap- to know otherwise. They are actually pretty legit
It may be all about money, you must know. You are advertising this Fashionista Diaries that it's taking your pink page and converting your site in a subliminal communist propaganda. From the red and black colors, to the "boina" of Che-And you are cuban and your family is cuban. So you must don't really give a shit. kind of sad.
Regarding Whiterspoon it may be about money, but this women has enough class of not selling herself if she doesn't believe in the product or what the product do for humanity.
Take this advertisment from your site….It's very distracting and takes away your personality.

Perez? why was it when Jennifer Hudson signed on with Avon , You talked about it being Low Rent.. Now when Reese signs on.. You list all the details and talk very nice about things.. Now what exactly is the deal. and what sort of image are you portaying of yourself? You need to take a really big look at yourself and be fair to everyone. I have yet to see any of your posts where You say anything nice about a black person.(and if you did count how many nice ones and how many negative ones). I love your website. but how far do you think you can go in the media and act like this..get it together please..I will not hate on you.. I would like to see you make it in the media. but show some class.
dis bitch gotz one pointy-ass chin. NOT cute!
Once again, AVON has great products and has been one of the biggest cosmetic companies in the world, YES, bigger than MAC, so why is it ok to call Jennifer Hudson and Lauren Conrad low rent and it's "classier" and high brow. AVON has improved greatly in sales and helping organizations such as breast cancer and others, so why not give them more positive credit?
Get off the snark, Perez — Reese is as classy as they come. A true steel magnolia. She makes me PROUD to be Southern.
I don't like the soap back ground - it's really annoying
I hope they paid you a lot, including drugs and a couple of homo ho's
I agree with #41. Dang Perezers - You do have different standards for black men and women. Lo Rent for Jennifer Hudson and kudos for Reese. I have been reading your sight for a while and your racism is so blatant! What goes around comes around. Becoming more of a fan at D-LISTED! At least he is bitchy to everyone!!
Reese is sooo ugly.
Why is she famous? She has a butt ugly face, a mutant-chin and can't act. So WHY?
Dude, how does anyone ignore that face? she is not cute. wake up people.
Oh vomit Reese wrote that press release herself:
"she is also beloved for her down to earth approachability and warmth"
Give me a break she is the biggest phony.
Did she get braces? She's cute…except for the chin.
ATTA" GURL REESE ..workit workit
#45 AD SPACE for SOAP WAS 100K+_ a week.
OMG WHAT IS PEREZ DOING WITH ALL HIS CASH? the small ads are 6k a week wtf.lol
SEE!!! Quit talking so badly about Avon. People still think of it as 1940's avon knocking at your door. It's WAY different than that. You should start looking it up and checking it out. It's a lot better than some of the shit at Sephora! Do you really think people like Reese, Salma, Celine, Lauren, Jillian Dempsey, Cynthia Rowley, Days of Our Lives and Derek Jeter would be in it if it was "so shitty". I don't think so!
I don't know when she'll start but I will be sure to add her to my page. www.youravon.com/christieowens
I don't know when she'll start but I will be sure to add her to my page. www.youravon.com/christieowens, I could SURE use the sales being it's back to school clothes time for my kids. Any PR is good PR as far as I am concerned
Hahahahahahahahahha Avon can't get lower than that.
She has a flying soucer head, she is so ugly.
J-WHORE TAKE NOTES.
she can't act anymore, everyone knows she won an oscar because of studio bribery. The only good thing about "walk the line" was Joaquin Phoenix.
avon is crap and reese's chin scares the fuck outta me
She had sex with her chauffeur once, she is a major whore!
Poor midget she has to peddle Avon cus her career is over.
The only "awareness" we need from her is for her to realize what a major bitch she is.
She looks like a troll.
I always suspected her career would end up like this. She is such a fraud, there are other actresses more talented than her in the industry, she should retire and dedicate to Avon only.
what a pointy ass-chin repulsive.
Wasn't a Reese fan until "Walk the Line" (Wasn't a Johnny Cash fan until then either but Joaquin - WOW!) I think she will make an excellent spokesperson for Avon and I think her daughter is a beautiful spitting image of her!
Finally she'll get to leave her computer, I hope Avon keeps her from posting.
Her kids are cute because they look like Ryan, they are lucky to have a good looking dad.
Damn she's HOT. She needs me to give her a pearl necklace, and have some of it hit those huge teeth of hers. Bet she LOVES it in the back door !!!
Ba Ba Ba BOOYA !
i like Reese but ohmigod, her chin looks horrible, avon should make a product that would fix pointy chins y'all….
LISTEN i don't give a rats ass about her being the spokesperson for Avon i dont use shitty products for poor people, but what really bothers me is this: is people really willing to buy products whose spokesperson looks like a fucking cartoon?
how can anyone like her face? i mean i admit i think Ryan Phillipe is damn ugly, but hell this bitch has a run for his money, i wouldn't even buy YSL beauty products if she were the spokesperson for them -and i love those products-
Love Reese Witherspoon. Avon, not so much.
you know i used to like her but she stole my boyfriend (jake)
derek jeter is also an avon spokesperson. his cologne smells really good, btw.
avon cant be that lowbrow; i sold $400 this week and have a $900 order for my next campaign.
does avon sell Chin concealer? she might poke someones eye out with that thing!!
she looks like the Joker from Batman
ew…she is so disgusting. someone needs to file down that chin a little.
Yet another low Renter? Not u r week perez, too many famous people signing on. Cynthia Rawley also signed w/ a new line of cosmetics for the fall. I dont care more $$$ for me, I sell it and love alot of its products. Its always in Allure, Marie Claire, Cosmo mags too as rated best product. And its not just perfume and skincare. Really u all should check it out. Not ur grandma's crap anymore.
www.youravon.com/minsinga
she is turning into those bitchy business wemon that cut their hair. A very unisex style hair cut…… but she is still a slut
YIKES.
look at her facial features!
the chin?!
she isn't even pretty..
and i never noticed before?
Good Lord, that chin! You could bust marble with it
www.youravon.com/lpinkard
You can make a lot of dough selling Avon. Especially if that actress thing she's got going doesn't work out. Wonder if she'll have free samples to give out at events? You'll have to ask for some Perez!
Hey Perez — Last week when Jennifer Hudson was introduced as an Avon spokesmodel, you bad mouthed Avon and called them a lowbrow company. Now that a popular white actress is an Avon spokesmodel, you've changed your tune. You need to think about how your words can impact people. Your slant is racist.
Whoa. What up with that chin. I don't remember it ever looking that bad before.
if its for a good cause then she should go for it. If she makes money to boot why not?
Oh and #5 get a clue chanel is so close to the same crap you buy in a drugstore they just slap the ccs on it! Your just jealous!! bwaaahaaa
When will you start the Perez Hilton Foundation and help pay for the shrinks of the celebrities you trash?
Hasn't it ever occurred to anyone that Perez might not be the only dunce writing the blog entries? He always refers to himself as "we", implying either an ego the size of his ass and beyond, or a collective of personal minions who run the errands for him. That's why it's ok for Whiterspoon to do Avon but not for Hudson. The writers obviously don't care to keep track of each other's entries to at least get their supposedly shared views in sync. Hell, they don't even bother to spell correctly.
You are racist. It is clear in the difference between this post and the one that you wrote about Jennifer Hudson.
What is with that CHIN? Is she related to Jay Leno?????? Or getting ready to perform as Elba in "Wicked".
I love her I love her I love her! I can't think of a single bad thing to say about her. She's perfect!
She needs to cut some of that chin off and return it to the Joker.
Finally a good, 'ol Tenn. gal, All-American in the news for something good. Did you know that she is a direct desc. of an original signer–Roger Witherspoon I think?? I'm so tired of the same people from the same families having success in Hollywood!
I often wonder about some of these people who call perfectly good looking people Fug. Are some of the people who try and call other people out the ones who are actually fug? You go Reese, keep on being adorable!
THIS IS A FRIGGIN JOKE!!!!!! A still married woman with 2 small children out screwing around with a guy 5 years younger than her (having an affair) and she says that she always wanted to make a difference in the world?????? Reece you absolutely disgust me!!!!! I will never see any more of your stupid movies ever again!!
yeah b/c you know, people FLOCK to wear AVON and for that matter, REVLON products b/c reese witherpsoon and drew barrymore are hocking it! give me a break, they only wear high end brands like "le mer" and such. get a clue people–they are only endorsing these products for the money!
OK up mock Jennifer Hudson for endorsing that perfume made by Avon or some similar company but when Reese does it, you totally gravel at her feet? Is it because she's white? You suck Perez… I hope JH eats you for breakfast.
THIS IS A FRIGGIN JOKE!!!!!! A still married woman with 2 small children out screwing around with a guy 5 years younger than her (having an affair) and she says that she always wanted to make a difference in the world?????? Reece you absolutely disgust me!!!!! I will never see any more of your stupid movies ever again!! You are such a fake and phoney!!!!
such an amazing woman!
