Jay-Z Inks a Fragrance Deal

BellaSugar — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 07:01:29 -0700

Big news in the celebrity fragrance world: Jay-Z just signed a multi-fragrance deal with Parlux, the company behind scents from stars such as Paris Hilton and Queen Latifah. Through Iconic Fragrances, a company with which Jay-Z has a licensing agreement, he signed a contract that outlines profit sharing and royalties from any fragrances that will be developed.

While there's no news on actual scents yet, the agreement mentions the possibility of scents for Rihanna and Kanye West - so keep an eye out for that. Separately, Jay-Z is close to sealing a deal for his own scent as well as one with what WWD calls a "well-established female artist." (Hmm, wonder who that might be.) Until more details emerge, let's content ourselves with this excellent and not-at-all-corny artist's rendition of a possible Jay-Z fragrance design.

Kanye West's Mother Dies From Cosmetic Surgery Complications

BellaSugar — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:28:22 -0800

Dr. Donda West, a retired English professor and the mother of Kanye West, has died from complications during a cosmetic surgery procedure. Her publicist did not reveal details about the procedure or precise cause of death. Kanye was very close to his mother, even devoting his 2005 song "Hey Mama" to her:

"Hey Mama, I wanna scream so loud for you, cuz I'm so proud of you ... I appreciate what you allowed for me. I just want you to be proud of me."

I can't imagine how difficult this must be for the West family, as well as for the students Dr. West taught over the years. My heart goes out to all of them.

Kid Sister Loves Pro Nails

BellaSugar — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 15:00:00 -0800

Lil' Mama had a Summer hit with "Lip Gloss," and now another member of the hip-hop family is singing the praises of her favorite beauty habit. Kid Sister, a rapper from Chicago, just debuted her video, "Pro Nails." It's all about having fancy, decorated nails and dealing with the jealousy that ensues. (Because, you know, people get jealous about these things.)

Check out the video - which includes a Kanye cameo - and let me know what you think. Plus, if you can't get enough makeup in music, test your knowledge and see how sharp your trivia skills are!

Beauty Flashback: Care Free Curl

BellaSugar — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 07:00:37 -0800

Everything old is new again - if you wait long enough. Kanye West helped bring back retro sunglasses, the likes of which make a cameo in this mid-'80s spot for Care Free Curl. While a modified Jheri curl is back for some Hollywood stars, I'm not sure if we'll ever go back to the days of asymmetrical haircuts and shoulder pads. (Or will we?)

If Your Mom Got Plastic Surgery, Would You Want to Know?

BellaSugar — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 09:00:41 -0800

Ever since the death of Donde West last month, I've been wondering if Kanye knew his mom was going to have plastic surgery beforehand. We'll never know, since such things are private, but I'm not the only one thinking about it. This weekend's LA Times explored how some patients tell their families about their surgery-or don't.

My mom hasn't had any surgery, because she's happy with herself as she is. (And heck, she is lovely as ever!) But I'd like to think that if she were to go under the knife, she'd talk with me about it-and at the very least, I'd want to be there to hold her hand through a potentially scary process. It's a little trickier when you're the parent, though: How do you tell a child that Mommy is going to have a new nose, for instance? According to plastic surgeon Dr. Stanley Frileck, you should be honest and consider bringing kids into the office to discuss the procedure:

"The biggest mistake you can make is to try and fool a child. . . Sit your 7-year-old down, and tell him that you're having an operation and that you're going to be swollen afterward and will need some help."

In theory, this sounds like a reasonable plan, but I can't help but think that kids that age would be scared or worried. Plus, it's gotta be difficult to raise a child to be content with his or her appearance if you're dragging them to a plastic surgeon's office at that age. What do you think? If your mom were going to get surgery, would you want to know? And should potential patients tell their kids?
