Sad news today… The word just came out that Liv is no longer the face of Givenchy. Uma Thurman is going to take over from Liv. The 38-year old actress will take over when presenting a new fragrance this autumn.

Speaking to People.com, a rep for Givenchy confirmed that the actress Uma Thurman is, ‘the face of a new women’s fragrance that is slated to launch in Europe this fall, with a possible launch in the U.S. in 2010.’

No word yet from Liv or any of her representatives.

 Update[17-04]: The last couple of days confusing reports came out which indicate that Uma Thurman, though representing a new frangrance for Givenchy this autumn, is not replacing Liv, but joining.

Earlier this week websites as for example Marie Claire reported:

“The 38-year-old actress takes over from the label’s current celebrity face, Liv Tyler, and is set to make her debut in [...]“

At Hollyscoop.com:

“Au Revoir Liv Tyler! The famous French fashion house Givenchy has just announced that Uma Thurman [...] No word on why Liv got the boot but the Kill Bill star [...]

Now new reports have surfaced at Daily Mail UK:
