R&B/pop singer and songwriter Christina Aguilera has been busy hitting the headlines in the celebrity world this week. Firstly, for her new perfume and then for a publicity gig for the new Trump International Hotel and Tower in Dubai.
The 27-year-old star has launched Inspire, her latest perfume, which she says is a “beautiful white floral scent, with a lightness of touch.” This is her third women’s fragrance, after having launched Xpose and Simply Christina last year, with both claiming international success.
Insiders comment that Christina has channeled the spirit of American pop icon Andy Warhol, and melded it with one of the chic influence of Tokyo to come up with Inspire. It’s said to be her first women’s scent aimed at the U.S. market.
Next, the seamstress is also in the news for having signed to perform at a launch party in LA to promote Donald Trump’s latest venture Trump International Hotel and Tower in Dubai. This will be the ‘Dirty’ star’s only second live performance since she became a mother in January 2008.

TV presenter and glamour model Melinda Messenger has signed up to be the face and body of Ultimo’s D-G range of designer lingerie.
I’m kinda surprised/disappointed that we may not see more of Gemma Atkinson, 23, who endorsed the brand last year, but if I know Ultimo well, don’t they have a reputation for being in the news as often as possible?
However, Ultimo creator Michelle Mone says the new the line will “do wonders for women’s confidence.” Perhaps there’s some truth in that — Melinda, the 34DD sensation and mum of three still looks like a bombshell with enough power to blast your bedroom.
The 37-year-old 5′2″ glamour girl says she prepared well to take on the Ultimo challenege — including losing 5lbs for the photoshoot.
“Two weeks before the shoot I went into panic mode when it dawned on me that I was going to pose in my underwear for the first time in eight years!” says Melinda. “I suddenly thought ‘Oh my God – I’m 37. I’ve got three kids and now I’ve got to take my clothes off!’ ”
Well, no one’s complaining, Melinda.

Jessica Simpson’s Fancy — ‘pretty fragrance she could wear on or off the red carpet’ — has got a big boost (at least in the media) with a new commercial.
The 28-year-old pop-country singer wraps herself up in a satin sheet, twisting and turning, conveying a positively seductive message. Not sure if it’s about her perfume, though.
“With Fancy, I wanted to create a pretty fragrance, one that I could be just as comfortable wearing on the red carpet or every day with my favorite jeans,” Jessica says. “This is a special fragrance — personal, whimsical, playful and romantic. To me, Fancy is just that: Fancy.”
Fancy is available in a 3.4 oz. Eau de Parfum Spray ($59.00) and a 1.7 oz. Eau de Parfum Spray ($49.00), as well as a 5.0 oz Body Lotion ($30.00) and expected to hit the retailers this month.

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has signed a two-year, one million Euro deal to act as the new spokesperson for German luxury car manufacturer Mercedes.
The 22-year-old footballer sealed a two-year deal with the German car maker last week and has already taken delivery of a brand new customized Mercedes Benz CL63 Coupé worth £121,200.
Rooney is obviously a connoisseur of some of the finest cars in the world–he owns at least three other high-end cars including a £137,000 Bentley Continental GT, a £136,450 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and a £177,000 Aston Martin Vanquish, as well as a BMW 5 Series, Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover Sport.
So what happens to these cars now that the contract stipulates that Rooney must drive only Merc to matches and training sessions? His celebrity wife Coleen McLoughlin will be left to drive the rest of his fleet. (Rooney met McLoughlin while both were in their final year of secondary school. They married on June 12, 2008.)
“We very much wanted Wayne to be the face of the brand,” a source at Mercedes said. “Mercedes will set Wayne up as an icon with their cars. There is an option in the contract for him to feature in some adverts.”
Rooney has a bagful (or should I say trunkful) of endorsement deals, which are expected to fetch him at least $200 million before he’s 30.
