Evergreen — or should I say ever hot — celebrity model Cindy Crawford is set to launch her signature jewelry line One Kiss exclusively in JC Penney stores in April.
Crawford, 44, and JC Penney have hit it off well in the past — with the Cindy Crawford style brand of home furnishings and accessories, and more recently, outdoor furniture.
I don’t see any reason why One Kiss shouldn’t be a hot sell either, especially while rolling out well in time for Mother’s Day and being priced ‘reasonably’ between $79 and $299. The 45-piece collection will launch with necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings.
The collection will feature delicate sterling silver, gold over sterling silver, gemstone and diamond pieces, while the design is inspired by a henna symbol that translates to “kiss.”
It will be sold in more than 600 JC Penney stores as well as on JCP.com.

“Rated R” girl Rihanna is stuck for a name for her brand new fragrance. And she’s asking her fans to suggest a name.
The Barbadian singer had initially wanted to call the fragrance Route 22, but it now appears like she’s looking for ideas from her fan base — after all, they’re the ones who are likely to buy it first when it rolls out around October.
“I’ve been right there with a chemist mixing the formulas,” said Rihanna, 22. “I wanted this to be the fragrance no man can resist – and it is!”
So there now, you have a clue to the kind of name she’s looking for… so shake it up and you’ll probably hit the jackpot.
If you think you’ve got it, you can submit it via via RihannaDaily.com, a fan website by clicking HERE.
The submissions page also lists names suggested so far, which are about 160 in number, and counting…
And umm.. coming back to the ‘jackpot’, I couldn’t find anywhere if there will be some kind of award for the winner or not. Perhaps the smell of success is prize enough for some.

‘Like mother, like daughter’ has never come true so beautifully — yet. Alexa Ray Joel will show off her tresses for Prell, nearly a quarter of century after her supermodel mother Christie Brinkley showed off hers for the same brand.
Singer-songwriter-pianist Alexa, daughter of celebrity singer Billy Joel, will appear in fashion glossies and TV commercials for the shampoo created by P&G in 1947. The word is that the commercials will feature Alexa’s music as well.
“I am so excited and honored to be named the new face of Prell — especially following in the footsteps of my mother, who was a Prell girl,” said Alexa, 24.

Former World No. 1 tennis hottie Ana Ivanovic has used her celebrity status as well as her lithe figure to boost the brand image of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit 2010 issue.
Ivanovic, 22, posed in a variety of tennis props, wrapping herself in a tennis net as well as spreading out in a bed of pink tennis balls — all shot by renowned photographer Marlena Bielinska in New York. Ana was one of the several female athletes featured in the SI issue, but for Ana, who has modeled before, this was the first SI appearance.
The Serbian tennis star was seeded 20th at the 2010 Australian Open, where she reached the second round where she lost Gisela Dulko 6–7(6), 7–5, 6–4. Ivanovic’s next tennis appearance will be at the 2010 BNP Paribas Open, in Indian Wells, California, from March 8 through March 21.
