Michele, who was one of the best dressed starlets at this month’s Golden Globes, follows in the the footsteps of previous Candie’s models including Hayden Panettiere, Fergie and Britney Spears.

“Britney Spears is definitely my favorite past Candie’s girl, her campaigns were gorgeous,” Michele mentioned in a statement.

Echeverria Named Neutrogena’s New Spokesperson

Sandra Echeverria is putting her best face forward in her quest to become a household name in the United States.

The 27-year-old Mexican actress/singer has signed on as Neutrogena’s newest brand ambassador.

“It’s an honor to represent a brand like Neutrogena with such a long-standing history of instilling health, confidence and beauty in young women – and that is something I strongly support,” said Echeverria. “I’ve been a huge fan of Neutrogena since I was a teenager. Since I’m always on the go – either on set or on the stage – it always helps keep my skin clean and fresh looking.”

Echeverria, a telenovela superstar who recently starred in Univision’s record-breaking La Fuerza del Destino, will begin appearing in Neutrogena’s advertisements and commercials in the near future as she helps “bring to life [the company’s] 2012 multicultural initiatives,” according to the skin and cosmetics company.

One of today’s leading Latina starlets, she joins Miranda Cosgrove, Jennifer Garner, Vanessa Hudgens and Gabrielle Union as the Neutrogena’s latest brand ambassador.

Echeverria can next be seen in Will Ferrell‘s new film Casa de mi Padre. And, she recently completed shooting Savages, an Oliver Stone film starring John Travolta, Blake Lively and Benicio Del Toro—in which she plays Salma Hayek‘s daughter.

Gomez’s “Spring Break” Plans…

Watch out, Justin Bieber! Selena Gomez could be spending spring break with James Franco

The 19-year-old Mexican American actress is in talks to star in Spring Breakers, alongside Vanessa Hudgens and Emma Roberts, according to Entertainment Weekly.

The film centers on a quartet of college co-eds who hold up a restaurant so they can make it to Florida for their spring vacation.

Meanwhile, Franco is reportedly starring as a drug and arms dealer who bails the girls out of jail, only to try to get them to murder his enemy.

The film project—like her other potential project, Hot Mess—would mark a dramatic departure for good-girl Gomez, even though she’d play the least daring, most religious member of the group.
