According to WWD, recently the actress filed a $15 million lawsuit in federal court in Manhattan against Lancme for allegedly continuing to use her image in advertising even though her contract had expired.

According to Thurmans lawyer, Bert Fields, her contract with Lancme ended in 2004, but the brand has continued to use her image to sell products all around the world during the past four years. She is seeking $15 million from the French company, owned by LOral.

But Lancome is fighting back the company filed a suit of its own earlier this week in the State Supreme Court in Manhattan, saying it did not violate the contract and does not owe Thurman money.

A spokeswoman for LOral said: The use of Ms. Thurmans image after her contract expired, however minor, was neither deliberate nor intentional. As this matter is currently in litigation, it is Lancmes policy not to comment on legal matters while they are in progress.

Next stop on the Jennifer Lopez fragrance train? Deseo for Men.

Says J. Lo to WWD: “I wanted to capture the intimate and personal nature of a man who is sexy, yet strong,” Lopez said of Deseo for Men, a counterpart to Deseo for Women, launched last September. “Deseo means desire. Desire is a universal word that expresses passion between two people. I wanted to take this meaning and put it behind the idea of one desiring another. The smell is warming and creates a provocative and sensual texture.

“We are always looking to create something new and exciting, and one thing that I had yet to do was a men’s fragrance,” Lopez continued. “After creating Deseo for Women, I was inspired to create a men’s fragrance that complemented it.”

The sexiness that is Josh Hartnett has just signed on to be the face of Giorgio Armani’s newest male fragrance.

Says WWD: Giorgio Armani is out to prove diamonds aren’t just a girl’s best friend.

The firm’s beauty division on Tuesday signed actor Josh Hartnett as the face of a new scent due out this summer called Emporio Armani Diamonds for Men, a masculine counterpart to last year’s Emporio Armani Diamonds women’s fragrance, which was fronted by Beyonc Knowles.

The Emporio Armani generation is inspired by film and music,” the designer stated. “I felt that for the men’s Diamonds fragrance it would therefore be appropriate to involve one of today’s most inspiring young actors.”

Diamonds for Men, which is Emporio Armani’s sixth men’s fragrance, is due to be unveiled in June, during the spring 2009 men’s fashion shows in Milan. It is slated to be launched worldwide in August.
