If you learn one thing this gloomy Monday, let it be to never insult one of Hollywood's indie darlings by inelegantly asking "What Happened to Your Face?" on your popular entertainment website. It will probably definitely rub the actress the wrong way, as evidenced by Zooey Deschanel's new feud with E! Online.
On Saturday, the entertainment website posed the insulting question -- "What Happened to Zooey Deschanel's Face?" -- in reference to her new Rimmel London print campaign (above), in which the (500) Days of Summer star's visage appears to be dramatically retouched per the beauty campaign/women's magazine norm.
Several hours later, Deschanel found the post and replied via Twitter, "@eonline - um... what happened to your face, eonline? RUDE!!!"
This morning, E! responded to Deschanel's outraged tweet by vowing to "spend the next 500 days clearing this up" since the site "absolutely love[s], love[s], love[s]" the "beautiful" Zooey and her "wonderful features" which would seemingly be enough of a "perfect canvas" for any beauty company to work with. Right.
Your move, Zooey. Looks like Deschanel FaceGate 2011 is just beginning.
