    It never ends. I didn’t know Rihanna has a frag in the works. I wish she’d played the strong confident woman angle rather than the sexy mantrap angle. That seems as if it would send a better message to her fans after all she’s been through. But that’s also probably why I don’t have a career in marketing.

      And it must suck to be a marketing tool. Not that I would ever be remotely in danger of becoming famous, but I would hate to be told what my name and face will be slapped on.

      Wow, I’m feeling sorry for celebrities…someone take my temperature.

    Even though I am way out of the age range for Rhianna or Sean John’s (Diddy, P. Diddy, Puffy, -whatever he happens to call himself from time to time- I thought the public went through that once with Prince.) music, I have sniffed SJ’s Unforgiveable and liked the male version better than the female version. As far as Rhianna, she is a beautiful woman, but AS you are right- I wished she had played herself as a stronger woman- She could take a cue from Mary J. Blige. If her upcoming fragrance is found not to be irresistible to men, does one get their money back?

      As celebrity fragrances go, Sean John’s are better than most. I’m sorry to say I don’t know who Rihanna is.

    Rihanna said: “I’ve been right there with a chemist mixing the formulas”

    I don’t know why, but in my head this always conjures up an image of the “star” (whom ever it might be) kneeling by the bathtub mixing some strange brew…

    That Jillian (dempsey’s wife) is so selfish! Why o why does she want to hog McDreamy! :-)
    I am a longtime fan of Dempsey, from his teen flicks Can’t Buy Me Love (1987) and Loverboy (1989) he was very popular here in Argentina among the teen set. So I was very happy when he made his comeback. I never figured out why it took so long for him to transition from teen star to what he is now….But hey! some of them never get to transition! look at the Coreys.

    And regarding Butler…. I think he is joking and does not have the slightest intention of getting a perfume out there.

      I have some ADHD moments reading on here sometimes, and had to come back and fully read this because I thought the Coreys were going to have a fragrance.

      As usual all of this is over my head…I don’t know who the Coreys or Gerard Butler are. I do know who Dempsey is though!

    Why on earth would Rihanna want to smell irresistible to men? You’d think she’d want to smell faintly of mace spray, wouldn’t you? At the very least, it should be a chypre.
