With being a L’Oreal spokesmodel comes a lot of questions about beauty tips. Freida Pinto isn’t an exception. So here are a few of her basic things. And she uses the Go 360 Clean face wash too, of course. ;)

“I don’t have too many beauty tips because I am not fond of wearing too much make-up but the first would be to drink a lot of water because water really cleanses your system and it keeps you fresh and your eyes looking fresh. I also recommend adding a lot of fruit and vegetables to your diet and not making it too meat centric.

The next one would be sleep well – sleep is as important as food and water and keeps you looking fresh the next day. So if you get a good eight hours sleep it always helps. It all still takes work.”

Freida Pinto beat off competition from celebrities like supermodel Kate Moss and Lady GaGa to be in the top ten list of Vogue’s most stylish women of 2009. She is ninth on the list, which has been topped by British TV presenter Alexa Chung. Da Vinci Code actress Audrey Tautou on the second place, with Sex And The City star Sarah Jessica Parker on third. X Factor judges Cheryl Cole and Danniie Minogue claimed fourth and the fifth spot, respectively.

I want to wish a Happy 25th Birthday to Freida Pinto! I wasn’t able to do a proper update on her b-day – October 18 – but I had it in my mind, as I’m sure many of you did too. I can’t imagine how different her life has become in just one year, and I hope that her coming year will be an even better one for her.

Leave your belated birthday-wishes after the cut!

According to the Vivi Mascaro blog (via The Fashion Spot), Freida Pinto did a photoshoot for Elle magazine while in Paris, earlier today! It was shot at the Galerie Mitsukoshi hotel. It’s unknown which issue (or country, for that matter) it’s for, but hopefully it won’t be too long until we see the photos!

AOL’s Moviefone just compiled their annual list of their top 25 stars who happen to be under the age of 25. Making the list this year are newcomers like Freida Pinto and her Slumdog Millionaire co-star Dev Patel. And then there are the old stand-bys, like Miley Cyrus, Shia LaBeouf, and Scarlett Johansson.

Regardless of being new or old to the list, these “kids” have established themselves in Hollywood, apart from all the thousands of other young actors in LA.

Last week, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) made news as they approached Anoop Desai, the American Idol contestant for their new campaign ABC – Animal Birth Control. But this week they have also written to Freida Pinto asking her to join the campaign.

Anuradha Sawhney, chief functionary – PETA, says, “We have written to Freida Pinto as we want her to support the cause. We are hoping to hear from her soon. We have also written to Anoop Desai, reason being he is called ‘Noop Dog’ and is of Indian origin.”

So will the two of them – Anoop and Freida be endorsing PETA together? Anuradha leaves it open-ended, saying, “We still have to decide as to what we want Freida and Anoop to do. Till now, we have just started speaking to them to shoot for the cause. If they are willing to do something more, we would be glad.”
