Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto’s fame continues to skyrocket even after the Oscars — besides joining Woody Allen’s new flick, she’s also landed the role of being cosmetic giant Estee Lauder’s new spokesperson.
Some of us may be in the process of getting just a bit sick and tired of hearing the name ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, but apparently Estee Lauder is not.
Pinto, 24, recently was chosen to become Lauder’s first Asian spokesperson in deal reportedly worth $28,000 to the starlet.
The Mumbai-born actress and former model will now follow in the footsteps of Liz Hurley and Gwyneth Paltrow.
In the new Woody Allen film, Pinto will star alongside Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas, with the shooting likely to begin in London this July.

Hollywood hottie Halle Berry’s verry own perfume is coming out… finally.
The 42-year-old Oscar winner said: “It’s very sensual, very natural, very much reflective of the outdoors.”
Quite fittingly, the ads depict the star in a beachside environment… and I don’t complain at all.
Sources say she spent two years coming up with the scent, ‘mixing other brands that shall remain nameless to make my own scent with fig and mimosa,’ according to Halle.
“With Halle, I added olibanum, which is an African root, which brings spice to the fragrance, and sandalwood, which smoothes everything out and makes it yummy,” said Halle.
My readers will recall that it was more than a year I blogged Berry’s teaming up with Coty to launch her own scent. Then again, the launch was planned for sping 2009, and here we are. ‘Halle by Halle Berry’ is expected to hit the retailers this week.

While being declared the celebrity of the year by Parlux Fragrances, socialite-heiress Paris Hilton has also signed up as the face of the company’s women’s scents for yet another five-year period.
Florida-based Parlux Fragrances, Inc. has announced that the board the Fragrance Foundation has chosen Paris Hilton as their celebrity of the year. This is the first of its kind award from Parlux and Paris will accept this award on May 27 in New York City at the Foundation’s annual FiFi Awards.
“We are extremely pleased that Paris has been selected for this initial prestigious award,” said Neil Katz, chairman and chief executive officer of Parlux. “Parlux has recently renewed its fragrance license with Ms. Hilton for an additional five-year period and we look forward to the continued success of this brand.”
“As mentioned at our last shareholder conference call, we’re close to finalizing fragrance licenses with two major celebrities,” he added. “Last week, our Board of Directors unanimously approved the proposed agreements with these celebrities. Although nothing is 100% certain, we are finishing final details at this time and hope to announce these new licenses very soon.”
That’s great going for the sassy blonde. But what really is such a mystery is how the 27-year-old manages to find glamorous ways to stay in the news…. like what we heard last week about her Bentley-manufactured £200,000 ($283,000) diamond-encrusted dashboard.
So there’s still some people out there who’re not hit by the global economic meltdown. Maybe some can’t even spell it…
