Reality-TV fans have a message for Clairol: Fire Omarosa!

On heels of the news that the hair-care company is considering featuring her in commercials for Herbal Essence, Omarosa haters are bombarding the company with calls and e-mails, as well as organizing a boycott of Clairol products.

“It has been evident that this person is manipulative and deceitful, and [it] reflects poorly on the Clairol Company to employ such a despicable character,” noted a typical posting in a TV chat room. “I will no longer buy their products, and will encourage family, friends and colleagues to not purchase their products, as well.”

On the emotions were running high. “If the Omarosa path is one Clairol wishes to go down, there are so many other ‘love to hate’ people,” one poster wrote. “What about Hitler? Imelda Marcos? Ted Bundy? (VERY nice hair!)”

Clairol is taking the threats seriously. Helene Leslie, spokeswoman for the company, told The Scoop. “We are concerned about the proposed boycott of our products and are currently looking into the situation.”

Nicole Kidman was always cagey about her rumored relationship with Lenny Kravitz, but now Kravitz has written a song about it. The tune “Lady” on Kravitz’s forthcoming CD is about his romance with the star, according to Hello magazine. “Unfortunately, as you probably know because the media followed the relationship so closely, the story didn’t end as happily as it does in the song,” Kravitz said. “The reality wasn’t quite as romantic, but this liaison was still a first-class inspiration.”   . . .
