Beyonce launch will launch her first scent, Beyonce Heat in February. Industry sources estimate it could do $100 million at retail globally in its first year on counter, at least half of that figure expected to come from U. S. sales.

“I’m so happy with it,” she said during an exclusive interview with WWD. “I’ve been working on it for a while now. I was on tour for a year, and I have meet-and-greets with fans. I’ve never in my life gotten so many compliments. Coty has their own testing, but that was my testing! The fans loved it. They were like, ‘I love that, I’m getting that, why isn’t it out right now? I need it!” said Knowles with a laugh.

For the fragrance’s name, Knowles drew from her past tours. “A lot of my performances have had fire involved, so we thought ‘Heat.’ Also, red is one of my favorite colors, as is gold,” she noted; both colors frame the bottle. “So then we thought of making the bottle look like it’s on fire. I love antique bottles — my mother had a collection of them when I was growing up. I wanted something with an antique yet modern feeling. Even with my wardrobe, I always try to find things that have a little bit of something vintage, yet still timeless and classic. The bottle, I felt, was a great mixture of the two.” Read the rest of this entry »

Nine is a musical movie that follows the life of world famous film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) as he reaches a creative and personal crisis of epic proportion, while balancing the numerous women in his life including his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penelope Cruz), his film star muse (Nicole Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), an American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth (Fergie) and his mother (Sophia Loren). This musical movie is directed by Rob Marshall.

We can see the famous actresses are dancing like a bird wearing a sexy costume design by Colleen Atwood. Collen took extra care to make sure the sexy ladies (specially Fergie), who spend the movie shaking it in perilous lingerie, did not have any nip slips or boob flops. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m a fan of cheesecake. I love love love cheese better than chocolate. Cheesecake is a delicious cake or dessert formed of a topping made with soft, fresh cheese upon a base made from biscuit, pastry or sponge. My mom made a cheesecake at my wedding party, I can’t stop to eat them!!!

Japanese women now infatuated with cheesecake, not the usual cheesecake but collagen cheesecake.  They are turning to collagen e>collagen-enhanced foods in hopes of fighting wrinkles. The popular Japanese wrinkle filler is showing up in things like yogurt, teas, cocktails, and most recently, cheesecake. Now Japanese women can finish their meal with collagen cheesecake. One version by Japanese company Meiji contains 1,000 milligrams of collagen, the amount in a couple of steaks. But according to Annet King of the International Dermal Institute, it’s all quite futile. “There’s no way that eating collagen boosts collagen (in skin),” she says.
