This pretty, 30-something actress may profess to be proud of her heritage in the press but we know this: several years ago she had extensive skin bleaching done in Europe. We don’t know why she did this, she wasn’t a dog to begin with.
skin color has nothing to do with attraction. dumb fucks!
ReplyDeleteThat bitch Thandi Newton. She proclaimed to be white years ago and then had to go on an apology tour in Africa, where her mother is from. This is why I still despise her.
ReplyDeleteeww i diint know that about Thandie :( i was thinking alba.
ReplyDeleteThandi? Really?
ReplyDeleteShe looks black.
I would never think she was 100% white.
Weird...
How old is Jessica Alba?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Alba first. But, she isn't 30 till next year.
ReplyDeleteDef...Alba

ReplyDeleteI thought Alba first, too, but she's not 30 yet.
ReplyDeleteHow about the girl that was in Slumdog Millionaire?
If you read the blind, it says 30 something. Alba is not yet 30 and she looks the same. Newton has always had the same color. Eva Longoria is lighter than when she was younger, plus in Europe bi-racials (her husband) think of themselves as whites. Tony never dated black girls. I say Eva FTW.
ReplyDeleteFrida Pinto is not 30, either.
ReplyDeleteI'd be surprised if an American would go to Europe for that -- there are plenty of products on the market here that bleach skin effectively.
ReplyDeleteThandie Newton has always been the same color?! Really?

How about Rosario Dawson?? The "wasn't a dog" clue referring to her role in Josie and the Pussycats??
ReplyDeleteShe's 31.
Plus, in Europe there are stricter laws for privacy, so it would be easier for someone who didn't want publicity to go there and have a procedure without lurking photogs.

ReplyDeleteI have no idea why this link doesn't want to work right. http://rodonline.typepad.com/rodonline/2005/08/introducing_ms_.html
ReplyDeleteHow about Eva Mendez or Jennifer Esposito?
ReplyDelete@stacy I know, I'm intrigued about the picture. Do you know of any other link? thx
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how some non-white actors/actresses will bleach their skin and still don't have mainstream success, household name status. To thine own self be true...
ReplyDeleteJust Google "Thandie Newton race", lots of talk about her plastic surgery and her skin bleaching and has been for years.

ReplyDeleteI did google and I don't see anything about her plastic surgery and skin bleaching. She's been pretty public about being biracial.
ReplyDeleteEva Longoria is much paler without foundation.
ReplyDelete@msgirl
ReplyDeleteOh please. Did you only look at the first result or two? There's tons of info.
No I looked through the first 3 pages - plus lots of images. The only thing I could find is a few rumors nothing more. However, I confess I like her a whole lot, so I'm trying to play devil's advocate!
ReplyDeleteI think I read that Eva Longoria has to wear foundation to look more Latina.
ReplyDeleteI think it's always easy to condemn people for doing those things, but who knows what psychological trauma the reason for such actions is.
ReplyDelete"Eva Longoria is lighter than when she was younger, plus in Europe bi-racials (her husband) think of themselves as whites."
ReplyDeleteWhile in the US you have the "one drop" rule.
Check out this picture of Thandie Newton. Stacey, I think you're right. She looks whiter than me, and I'm a redhead.

I'm going with Thandie Newton. She is in the new movie "For Coloured Girls" which would make it somewhat topical if she had bleached her skin in the past.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what the "wasn't a dog" phrase means though and it feels like a clue.
i can so see this being eva longoria.
ReplyDeletethat sucks.
ReplyDeletei don't know who this is, but that sucks.
PS, has anyone ever seen before/after pics of rita hayworth? that was a LOT of skin bleaching, among various other beauty "improvement" procedures.

ReplyDeleteOK, just to be different:
ReplyDeleteAlicia Keys?
I have not only seen pictures of Rita Hayworth when she was a young dancer and then in her later years, but I don't believe she had any bleaching done to her skin. Her parents were from Spain. On her mother's side, she had English and Irish ancestry. Rita Hayworth was not dark skinned.
ReplyDeleteTwo years ago I was in Thailand, in a sidewalk beauty shop getting my hair braided. There was a little girl in there, maybe 3 or 4 years old, and she had this powder she was playing with. The powder was whitening powder that makes your skin look whiter. The salon girls kept saying stuff to this little girl and laughing, and when I finally found out what it was, it turns out they'd been saying "ugly girl ugly girl" and telling her she needed whitening powder so she wouldn't be ugly.
ReplyDeleteAfter that experience, I find it hard to judge this actress. Who knows what kind of hang ups she had growing up, and then all it would take would be one person to mention something about the colour of her skin to make her go out and get bleaching.
If it's Thandie Newton, she has definitely had a nose job!
ReplyDeletemaybe the dog reference was for halle, being catwoman..
ReplyDeleteand as a multiracial child visiting relatives in the south, there are definitely still stigmas/issues associated w/skin color, even seemingly "light" tones...did a number on me...i remember getting yelled at by an older female relative for "laying my californian ass out like a white girl" because i liked sunbathing by the pool...sheesh.
Eva Longoria has always been light skinned. She would never do this.
ReplyDelete47 year old Vanessa Williams does the opposite. She tries to look black!
Rosario Dawson always goes back and forth.

ReplyDelete@CHAR: that is an awful story.
ReplyDeletei think the issues of skin color are fascinating. especially when you consider how dark skinned people will bleach their skin yet light skinned people have an entire culture based around tanning and bronzer. i suspect it has to do with being able to afford vacations and travel and thus allowing light people to show their status of privileged through their now darkened skin as opposed to the idea that light skin means that youre rich and work inside.

ReplyDeletesofia vergara.
ReplyDeleteOh no, I don't want to believe about Thandie! As a biracial girl myself, I've always admired her looks. Nooooooo!
ReplyDelete@awesome balla
ReplyDeleteI always thought it was simply the need for change. If you have brown hair you dye it blond and vice versa. If you are pale skin, you tan to get tan. Dark skin, avoid the sun to not get darker, etc.
Hi to all,
ReplyDeletefirst time poster.
@redsiren
regardless of what Tony Parker did, biracial people in Europe DO NOT think of themselves as white.
The one drop rule doesn't exist here.
We tend to think of ourselves as biracial (i.e. not one or the other but both).
