Shields' Rep Denies Fake Tan Halted 'Lipstick Jungle' Filming

Brooke Shields' representatives have hit back at reports she has stalled filming on her latest TV show, "Lipstick Jungle," because of her excessive use of fake tanner.

The star was accused of lathering herself in fake tan by the show's guest star Leven Rambin, stating the actress was desperate to sport a bronzed look for scheduled sex scenes.

Rambin claims Shield went overboard with a tanning agent, turning herself orange and halting further filming on series.

However, Rambin's claim has been refuted by a spokesperson for Shields, who tells MSNBC.com's The Scoop the actress has never used self-tanning products: "This is totally not true. I don't think Brooke has ever even used self-tanner, much less allowed herself to turn orange from it. Please."

**a couple of things***

1. Why does Leven even care?

2. I lost respect for her

3. I want her now gone from AMC

Oh Leven. It makes me sad. Real sad. She has changed so much.

What business is it of hers to comment on the status of Shields' show? Brooke should still be praised by millions for being brave enough to tell her story on suffering post partum depression and raising awareness on it.

Have you read Shields' book Down Came The Rain: My Journey Through Post Partum Depression? It is wonderful! She describes basically how I felt a couple of weeks after 9/11: sad, depressed, worthless, hated by people.

So I went to a doctor, he put me on Paxil, and in a couple of weeks I was back to my old self! ....9/11 happened during my senior year of high school. Thankfully, the above (worthless, hated) were not true. And I turned out to be the most popular person in my graduating class

She also spoke out about Britney Spears at Fashion Week, despite the fact that people she was with told her to keep her mouth shut.

She is so talented in the role of Lily, but she is letting this fame go to her head. I get so sad when I read more and more news about her becoming one of the girls on the scene.

It will only be a couple of years before she turns into a bitchy diva...and she has not earned her right to that title the way someone like Diana Ross did

She is becoming just like her character in Lip Stick Jungle, and I don't even think she is of age yet.

I am not sure what her character is like since I have not ever heard of that program....is she like an Ava clone? I used to not mind Ava but now I have to say that she sucks

She really needs to STFU. I've lost all respect for her, especially since she got Jeff Branson fired.

She did?! Details!

LR in recent times has become a supporting celeb for the NY POST and Page Six. I suspect she is trying to make a name for herself via publicity.

Yeah I don't have alot of respect for Leven anymore nor for her parent's for letting her run around with much older guys

What?? Levin got Jeff fired?

SOW (or SOD?) strongly hinted that something went down between Jeff and Leven and that's why Jeff would not finish out the remainder of his contract (although no doubt he was leaving in May anyways and he was unhappy with the writing so I doubt he cares too much).

I think if it's true then Julie Carruthers did it as a favor to Jeff knowing what a pain LR is...as opposed to Julie siding with Leven over Jeff.

Anyone else remember Leven making a big deal out of Jeff changing places at the AMC fan club luncheon a couple of years ago to sit with Chrishell Stause (which made sense to do since Jonathan was involved with Amanda at the time)?

And while this is purely anecdotal, a friend of mine was at the studio the day that AMC was officially given that "made in New York" honor and said that Leven was a real b*tch. Julie Carruthers was trying to talk to her and Leven kept brushing her off quite rudely because she was on her cell phone. And she was apparently throwing herself at James Scott the whole time!

Hello! She's a teenager! Why is everybody acting like she's supposed to be this refined, classy, dignified actress with a great wealth of life and world experience?

Damn. She's acting like a kid and making mistakes like a kid because... SHE'S A KID! The show shouldn't have been pairing a 30 year old actor with a 15 year old any damn way.

ummmm...Martha Bryne anyone?? She was a teenager and she didnt act like Ramblin does. I never liked Lily/Ava character. Maybe it was because of the way Rambin came off. I dont think she is all that of an actress either.
