31. There's nothing wrong with that. As others have said, it's just a basis for comparison. I can't imagine that Oprah would be offended. Silly TMZ!

32. Or she could have just said "I believe another shade would work better for you." Maybe she wishes Oprah would try her makeup . . .

37. this is not at all racist.oh please! lauren Hutton was trying to help the lady by using someone we all know to show her and help her with the right shade to purchase.This was helpful-- just like number 3 said -paris Hilton blonde or we use to say black hair like Donde in the comic strips.Oh please!! stop this ! by the way Lauren Huttons make up is probably the best make up I have ever used in my life and I have wasted alot of money on not so great make up and i think her line is excellent! I am also impressed that she stopped and helped that lady with the right color and just didn't sell her a bag of goods like this nonsense article!!!!!

38. What Lauren Hutton said wasn't racist....she was trying to be creative and cutesy with that remark, in order to explain cosmetic shades. Lauren Hutton sure looks bad, though, doesn't she? All wrinkled up, black eyes, broken body, all that surgery from her motorcycle accident...she's a mess. Why would anyone buy cosmetics from her anyway? She doesn't wear cosmetics! She's washed up and desperate, and this is the only means of support her "handlers" and her could come up with to generate some sort of income to pay her mountain of medical and legal bills. She's rude to people because she's a recluse hippy who doesn't care about anyone but herself. She's not endorsing any products anymore because she doesn't appeal to anyone, so this is her last gasp effort for some income. Anyway, don't buy anything she is selling. She's defective and not being forthright with her customers.

39. ummm Victria are you for real? you sound so jealous. you also sound like you have your own make up line out and see her as a competitive threat. Victoria what you write is so nasty. I am purchasing Lauren Huttons make up cause it works and it is fantastic! lauren has been in the business for years and knows her stuff. Also I think for a woman in her 60"s ,she looks great! Lauren keep up the great work with your great products!!!

40. There is nothing racist about her comment. She could have been selling hair dye and said the color is Heidi Klum blonde. Or, selling clothes and said the size is Paris Hilton small or Jennifer Hudson large. The point is, she was probably simply telling the person the shade she chose was too dark and would be better suited for someone Oprah's complexion.

41. That wasn't racist. Black and dark are not bad words. And they don't have a negative connotation. Everyone is so hypercritically phobic nowadays.

42. #41...all cosmetic products have the same ingredients, more or less. The only real difference is packaging. If you want to waste money on image, packaging and marketing campaigns then you go right ahead. lol.

43. Somehow i think Oprah will get over this.

44. Oprah is dark! What's the problem

Posted at 6:55AM on Apr 15th 2008 by hm

45. IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY..............
It is a basis of comparison, referring to one of
the worlds biggest celebs, who is also one of
the worlds most beautiful women. What about....
"That bra is Pamela Lee big, you are more of
a Kate Hudson. That hair extension is more of
a Paris blonde, you're more of a Beyonce'. That
shade is Dita Von Teese white, you are more of
a Halle Berry cafe au lait. Get a GD story, TMZ,
this is pot stirring BS. By the way, I am white, but
what the hell is wrong with being Oprah dark?
Do something with your ignorant staff---that is
the problem.
