Julia Roberts is set to sign a $50 million deal with Lancome.

The Eat, Pray, Love actress was named as the face of the luxury beauty brand in January and she has proved so popular that she is on the verge of agreeing a new five-year deal.

“Lancome have secured Julia for five more years. She’s been credited with making Lancome an even bigger success since she came on board. They’ve made profits of $100 million since she joined and they’re delighted with her,” a close source revealed.

After it was announced she was the firm’s new face, 42-year-old Julia admitted it had been a long-running “dream” of hers to front a beauty campaign for them: “It’s kind of like every girl’s dream, really. To be 42 and have three kids and be a working mom, it’s a great moment to be asked to do this and to be able to do it.”

Lancome’s president Yousef Nabi also revealed the award-winning actress was serious about working closely with the brand. “Julia really wants to be involved in the development of products,” he told WWD.

When in Cannes, donate to a good cause! Penelope Cruz and other Hollywood celebs helped raised $333,000 for Haiti by selling their designer dresses this past week.

The 35-year-old beauty and jewelery maker Chopard raised the sum by organizing an auction for the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization at the Cannes Film Festival. Donators to the auction included Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, Gisele Bundchen, Charlize Theron and Salma Hayek - who raised $21,000 alone for her burgundy Gucci gown, the first from the Italian brand’s new couture range.

An original sketch for the gown by Gucci’s creative director Frida Giannini was also sold alongside the creation. Other celebrities who gave outfits included Naomi Watts, Diane Kruger, Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow.

The Jenkins-Penn charity was created by Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn as a response to help the Caribbean nation in its recovery from twos earthquake in January this year. Around 230,000 people were killed and around 1 million made homeless as a result of the quakes.
