Jessica Simpson’s The Price of Beauty Sneak Peek

Here’s a first look at Jessica Simpson in her new reality TV show, dressing up as a Brazilian dancer and balancing a tray of candles on her head.

The curvy star travels the world learning how different cultures perceive beauty in VH1 show Jessica Simpson’s The Price Of Beauty.

A sneak preview shows Jessica practising her sexy samba moves, pulling off her balancing act and getting a painful massage.

The show will debut on US television next month.

Jessica, 29, has been filming new show over recent months. Back in October she jetted over to Mumbai to learn about their culture.

She was pictured wearing a traditional bindi dot and a henna tattoo during her stay.

The singer turned actress also posted a picture on Twitter earlier this week, showing her wearing a full face mask.

She left the accompanying message: ‘The Price Of Beauty :) Thanks La Mer for the upper and lower zone radiant mask.’

Let’s hope Jessica’s Brazilian samba moves did cause as much controversy as her dancing in a U.S. club at the weekend where she left two guys fighting over her.

The country-pop star – recently dubbed ‘sexual napalm’ by bad boy crooner John Mayer – reportedly got stuck in the middle of a slanging match after grinding her way through Rihanna’s smash hit Umbrella.

The flare-up happened as Jessica and her pals were partying at celebrity hang-out Jane’s Club, on Friday night.

According to Radraonline.com, the curvy blonde arrived around midnight with an entourage of men and her female publicist.

They headed straight to the VIP section where eye witnesses described how she seemed particularly close with one guy in the group.

A source said: ‘It looked like they were on a date. There was definite chemistry and flirting going on between the two of them.’

But her sexy dance moves attracted the attention of a group of passing fraternity-type guys, who strolled by and started ogling the show.

The young men reportedly started moving into the VIP area and one of them began dirty dancing with Jessica.

But this provoked Jessica’s other male friend, who told him to keep his hands off her.

The source added:’He seemed pretty wasted, and he put his hands on her waist and tried to pull her into him.

‘Jessica looked uncomfortable until the guy friend she had been flirting from her entourage with stepped in and said, “Hey, I don’t think she wants anyone touching her”.

‘Jessica looked kind of panicked and she didn’t know what to say, so she just sort of wriggled her way back to her seat.’

The situation was resolved when security came over, the website reported.

Lady Gaga’s High Fashion Concert Tour Costumes

After the rave reviews Lady Gaga received for the stellar Armani Prive dress she wore to this year’s Grammys, the singer is teaming up with Giorgio Armani once again, this time for her Monster Ball concert tour. The Italian designer just released two sketches featuring the custom-made outfits he created for the blonde performer. Through a release, Armani says, “We hear Lady Gaga’s music everywhere we go, it is like a soundtrack of our times. In addition to her formidable songwriting skills, she is a modern fashion phenomenon.” From a scintillating one-piece with a lobster-like effect on one sleeve to a sparkly cerulean body suit with exaggerated shoulders, each costume balances Armani’s sharp tailoring with Gaga’s dramatic flair. The performer’s style parade continues with a one-of-a-kind Prada dress that blends high-tech fabric (it’s made of plastic!) with a flared skirt based off a classic 18th century silhouette. Meanwhile, floral embroidery and lace trimming cap off that feisty-but-feminine look.

Sarah Jessica Parker talks about her new fragrance, SJP NYC

Sarah Jessica Parker’s new fragrance, SJP NYC, is designed as a ”snapshot of Carrie Bradshaw”.

The ‘Sex and the City’ actress – who plays Carrie in both the TV series and movies – says her latest fragrance, SJP NYC, was designed as a homage to a vision of her character.

She explained at its launch at New York’s Sweetie Pie restaurant: “What I really wanted to do was capture an image, a snapshot in my head of Carrie Bradshaw, that sort of freeze-frame of her walking down any New York City street at an idyllic time of year in a floral-print dress on her way to meet somebody or to do something, or surrounded by her women friends.

“You can go anywhere with that, because we live in a fragrant city,”

Sarah also said she was surprised when the ingredients for the fragrance came together, as it is concocted of scents – wild strawberry with gardenia and vanilla – she wouldn’t usually choose. She added: “What we arrived at was very surprising to me because it’s not notes that I generally cotton to – but I love it.” SJP NYC comes in a multi-print bottle inspired by the custom-designed Oscar de la Renta dress Sarah wears in the ad campaign for the fragrance.”

Call me crazy, but the thought of smelling like New York, isn’t terribly appealing! I’m sure it is a fragrant city, but is that a good thing? I mean if you want me to smell like Tuscany or something – that I get. But you want me to smell like NYC? I think subways – and millions of people – and cars… I don’t think strawberries with gardenia and vanilla. Maybe it’s just me.



A new definition for a bad hair day!

Jennifer Love Hewitt has a little tradition of dressing up in a costume and doing a little walk for the paparazzi on her birthday. Today is again her birthday and the outfit above is how she chose to dress up today. I am not even sure what makes a girl want to dress up alone like this on her birthday?

Kim Kardashian in Hot Water Over Fragrance Logo

Kim Kardashian is one busy woman. She juggles multiple businesses, endorsements, and public appearances on a daily basis. Her latest baby? The Kim Kardashian fragrance, which hit Sephora stores this month. There’s just one problem: The perfume’s logo may not have been Kim’s idea.

The double K logo on Kim’s fragrance bottles bears a striking resemblance to the double K logo of a jewelry line called Korcula. In fact, back in 2008, Korcula creator Lindley Bertin sent Kardashian one of the gold necklaces shown above as a gift. Bertin thought Kardashian would love the fact that the Korcula brand’s logo included her initials, and she was right: Kim was seen wearing the necklace, and Bertin was flattered.

That is, of course, until she saw Kardashian’s perfume bottes come out this year. Bertin told StyleList, “I am disappointed that someone would take something from me that I put so much time, energy, and money into creating.” The designer feels that the Kardashian fragrance logo is a rip-off of her own, and has enlisted the help of mega-lawyer David Boies to resolve the matter.

We’re keeping our fingers crossed that everything works out peacefully!

Sharpie!? Really!?

I just used a Sharpie as eye liner in the airplane bathroom,” the country singer, 20, wrote on her Twitter page on Feb. 18.

Sharpie? That’s awful! Hopefully we don’t need to explain to everyone why using Sharpie as eyeliner is a bad idea. I’m not sure that’s something that Taylor should be passing on to her her young fans! Sharpie contains toxic chemicals that can cause severe burns! (You may have to cover your body head to toe in Sharpie for this to happen, but hey, you get my point)

Tell Us: Have you ever tried using Sharpie as eyeliner? C’mon – you can fess up – we won’t tell anyone! (Just may yell at you, that’s all)

Taylor’s odd tweet even attracted the attention of another singer, Katy Perry. “That’s so chola of you!” the newly-engaged pop star, 25, tweeted back.



Would You Wear Super-Smoky Eyes Like Leighton?

From People’s Style Watch:

We may have come to love Leighton Meester as fresh-faced, headband-loved Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl, but this year, she’s channeled her inner rockstar for a successful singing career — and some serious makeup in the process. Nothing says rocker chick like smoky eyes, but this geometric version might be a bit too extreme to play anywhere off the stage, at least for most of us. But we want to know what you think! Tell us: Would you wear a super-smoky eye like Leighton?
