L'OREAL'S NEW NEIGHBOUR
NATALIE IMBRUGLIA has been named as the latest face of L'Oréal. The Australian soapstar-turned-singer, who first hit screens as Beth Brennan in Neighbours, joins the L'Oréal "dream team" of Beyoncé Knowles, Catherine Deneuve, Claudia Schiffer and Milla Jovovich. Although financial details of the contract were not released, Natalie is reported to have received up to £100,000 for lending her face to the latest range of skincare and cosmetics products. And she is definitely thought to be "worth it". "Known for her genuine charm and personal strength of character as well as her physical beauty, Natalie is felt to be a perfect ambassador for L'Oréal Paris," said a spokeswoman at L'Oréal yesterday. It's not Natalie's only piece of good news this week. While promoting her second album, While Lilies Island, Natalie has also recently begun shooting her first feature film. She is set to star in Johnny English, a film produced by Working Title (the team responsible for Notting Hill and Bridget Jones's Diary), alongside John Malkovich and Rowan Atkinson.
