Sparkle Like The Stars

No, the Rahulio he is not talking about the man who is wearing the vest who is helping to guide you to your seats in the theater, because you are of courses knowing there are already many of these people on the Broadway. The Rahulio he instead is speaking of the the Usher who is making the girls want to scream and the boys want to dance like he does, the super-muscley Usher who is wearing the cool hats, the Usher who is making songs with the foul-mouthed rapping person and the man with the big sunglasses and cup with many jewels who is mostly saying “Yeah” and such things.

This Usher is now appearing on the Broadway in the “Chicago,” which the Rahulio you may remember was just talking about earlier today, because it is one of his most favorite new musicals. He is playing the part of the sleazy lawyer! The Rahulio he admits he cannot see the Usher being this part, but the magic of the good acting is make you forget that the person playing the person in the play is the famous person who is singing songs, or at least Rahulio thinks so.

The Usher of course is liking his manly jewelry, like big citrine stud earrings, which are being much like these 4 1/2 Carat Citrine and Diamond 14K Yellow Gold Earrings. These may be earrings for a woman, or maybe not, but a real man, he is not caring anyway! And they are costing you only 275 of the dollars.

If you are being anything like the Rahulio, and if you are being a faithful reader of the Sparkle Like the Stars you surely are being this, you may be catching yourself in thinking, saying “The Jessica Biel, she is such a super lovely girl, but why am I not seeing her in the movies that I am not being embarrassed to be telling other people I have seen? Why is the Jessica wasted on the Blade III?” Ah! The Rahulio he is thinking the same thing many times.

So the Rahulio he was pleased to be learning that the Jessica is having a starring role along with the Edward Norton in the new movie “The Illusionist,” which is about illusions and Prague and the fancy European ladies and nobility and the elegant costumings and all the other things that the Rahulio is wanting out of his movie experiences! The Rahulio will definitely be going to see this movie he thinks.

But in the meanstime, before we can look at the movie, why do we not look at the Jessica? She is exquisite, no? And there is nothing that complements a classy lady like the classy hoop earrings! Why do you not buy right now a pair of the Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings, so so cheap for only 20 of the dollars, for the classy lady in your life??

Grey’s Anatomy star Sandra Oh looks like a gangsta princess dripping in all her jewels. Now, I LOVE jewelry but all of that is a little too much for even me. I actually love the dress. The fabric looks really soft and sexy. My friends and I aren’t totally into the ruffled sleeves. I think that I counted four necklaces but there could be more. Look closely at the picture. There is one fabulous diamond necklace that’s closer to her neck. That would have been perfect by itself. It matches the elegant style of the dress. However, if you’re not a princess (aren’t we all though?) or a movie star, you might not have many chances to wear something like that.

The gold chain that she’s wearing is long and luxurious. The large links are stunning and really make a dramatic statement. You can get a similar look with this 14K yellow gold fancy cable necklace. This piece is for sale right now for $315. The woven links are expertly crafted and held tight with a secure lobster clasp. This chain is perfect with a blouse at work - think of that classic Chanel chain look. Classy!

The Rahulio is sometimes watching the View on the days when he is not staying in bed until the afternoons eating the fresh fruits and getting the massages, and it has always been a show of very great interestings for the Rahulio. It is maybe being a little like one of these shows, how do you call them, where there is a man who is from Australia and he is walking around the jungle and you are watching animals being in their natural habitat. They are often showing these shows on the Discoverings channel. The View is it like when you are watching these shows when they have the hyenas fighting over the dead animal. So you are not having misunderstandings, the Rahulio he is sure the women on the View they are all being very lovely women, but the Rahulio he cannot be shaking off the impressing.

The Meredith Vieira she has quit the View and is getting the new job hosting the Today Show! And she is leaving the girls on the view with some of the catty comments (the Rahulio, he loves the cattiness): “I feel very sad for everything that’s happened and for everybody involved. I’m proud of the work we did there, but it’s not a good time in the history of that show. It’s hard to watch. It sort of became a joke.”

The Rahulio wishes you all the luck in your new professions, the Meredith. And he also is complimenting you on your classy earrings! The Rahulio, he is a sucker for the hoops, which you may have been noticing. The Rahulio is in favors of these 1/2 Carat Diamond 10K Gold Hoop Earrings, which are saying to everyone, “I am too good for the View, my face should be seen on Today!” I think this is worth 295 of the dollars, do not you?

Things they have not been going super peachy for the Michael Jackson. Of courses, he has been having all the speculations of what exactly he has been doing to his face, which was once so nice. And then more of the childrens were saying he was doing bad things with them. And then he ran out of the money and he fled the country so he could go live in Bahrain, which Rahulio is understanding is very hot and full of oil and big hotels and not very much other things. Apparently the Michael has been dressing up as a woman and putting on makeup in the bathrooms of the women, which may be okay in the Hollywood, but in the conservative countries in the Middle East may be seeming a little bit weird.

But even worse things have now happened to the Michael. The fires in California have burned down much of the land on his ranch, which is named after the magical land in the Peter Pan where the children would go to never grow up but would be chased by a dirty and scary old pirate, which is a thought train the Rahulio will no longer be riding on because it is scary.

The Rahulio is feeling bad for the Michael for his loss, and he is sure you too are feeling very bad. Maybe somebody should send the Michael a gift to make him feel better, especially as the Michael has no money. But what do you get for the man who has everything, including many giraffes, other than his old nose? Jewelry, of courses!

Maybe something like this 14K White Gold Diamond (1/5 Carat) Pendant? They are say it is a zodiac sign, but to the Rahulio it is looking very much like to the initials MJ. It would be a good way of giving the Michael remindings that it will all be okay, and that he should remember he is the beloved Michael Jackson, who once made the “I Want You Back” and the “Thriller”, a very very long time ago.

Eva Longoria looked incredible the other night at the Emmys. She’s definitely one of Hollywood’s hottest actresses for a reason! She’s wearing an amazing diamond bracelet that would easily cost 10K or more. While this is out of reach for most of us, we can still get a similar look within any budget.

You can get the same lattice pattern idea as Eva’s bracelet with this 1/2 carat diamond 14K white gold bracelet for just $495. This criss-cross style is light and airy. It’s a perfect look for evening or every day wear.

If you like the openwork style of Eva’s bracelet but aren’t ready to put down hundreds of dollars, then this sterling silver openwork bangle is for you. You get the same carefree feeling as Eva’s diamond bracelet but you can really be happy because this piece is just $75! It would look great with any breezy summer skirt or even an elegant winter sweater.

Lots of people have been giving Will and Grace star Debra Messing great reviews on her Emmy outfit. I am not that in love with it. The whole ruffle thing reminds me of some kind of curtain or caterpillar cocoon. See the way the first top ruffle sits high and then makes a weird smiley scoop before the second ruffle. The way the ruffles puff out there and make horizontal lines isn’t doing anything for me or Debra either. Her hair and make up are good. I like the big gold bangles she picked out too.

Her dress is begging for a necklace. She could have picked form so many different styles - pearls, diamonds, opals. With her white dress as a canvas, so many things were available. Alas, she decided to be boring in a white sleeping bag with a train.

Nothing is more glamorous than diamonds. They are perfect for every occasion. This 5 carat diamond necklace in 14K white gold is a way for you to get true Hollywood sparkle in your own jewelry box. Debra would have done well to wear something like it on her trip down the red carpet. This is a classic piece that will never go out of style. It’s 5 carats of diamonds are a force of nature and make a dramatic statement.

A more budget friendly option for those of us who have starring roles in the boardroom, kitchen, and PTA is this lovely cultured freshwater rice pearl and diamond necklace in 14K white gold for just $95. I’ve been showing you how so many stars have been wearing pearls lately. They really never go out of style. This necklace is versatile but will look smashing with all of our white outfits - from suits to gowns.

Ladies and Gentlemen, as always, I am working my fanny off to bring you the hottest trends in jewelry straight for the red carpet at the Emmys! I’ll start off with a really fabulous example of Hollywood glamor and then we’ll more to the folks that really need to fire their stylist! Keep checking back over the next few days!

Lost star, Evangeline Lilly looks fabulous in this purple gown by Versace. It is beautiful and fits her perfectly! Even though Lost wasn’t even nominated for an award, Evangeline was a fashion winner at the Emmys! She wore a traditional diamond tennis bracelet but I think that she could have been a little more daring and partied with more purple.
This stunning lavender jade and amethyst pendant in sterling silver is a wonderful way to add romantic purple color to an outfit. It would have complemented Evangeline’s outfit perfectly especially with that low neckline. At just $95, this pendant doesn’t have a red carpet price.

Another great way to get a powerful punch of purple is with these marvelous amethyst and tanzanite earrings in sterling silver. At the remarkable low price of just $85, these earrings are ready for the red carpet or any occasion where you want to add glamor. These gems have a ton of sparkle are will really help you shine when it counts.

The Rahulio he is a little surprised about the Justin Timberlake. Not so so long ago, he was being the adorable little curly-haired boy who sang like a girl in the band with the boys who looked the girls which the actual girls loved very much, the band it was called something about sinks. But now, you have seen, the Justin he is grown up and he is having the facial hair and is being very beefcakey and is singing about rocking bodies and senoritas and other things which are not for the little girls he was singing to before, and he has also moved from the Britney Spears to the Cameron Diaz, who is so so glamorous for one who is, how you say, stealing from the cradle.

But now the Justin he is all over the news, because he is touring the clubs this time with a band, doing the shows of intimacy instead of the big flashing lights and fireworks and the Janet Jackson’s implants and all the things he has done with the past. And his new album is coming out soon, and we are already hearing the first song, which is about the sexiness of the back. The Rahulio he has often commented on the sexiness of a nice back, and he is now wishing he had written a song about it before the Justin, because he would now be rich and on the covers of many magazines! But then again, then he would not be able to tell you of all the joys of the jewelry, so maybe the Rahulio has been put exactly where he is needed.

Anyway, we see the Justin looking very beefy here, and wearing, in today’s theme, the manly jewelry. Nothing says “I am a bad boy” like the cross, which you may be thinking would say “I am a good boy who loves the Jesus,” but this is not so. The Rahulio he knows not why. This 14K White Gold Sapphire and .04 Carat Diamond Cross Pendant the Rahulio is thinking is particularly, how you say, bad of ass, and only for 150 of the dollars.

The Rahulio, it may not be surprising for you to be knowing, he is the sucker of the musicals. He was thinking maybe the Chicago and the Moulin Rouge would be bringing in a new era of the splashy, colorful and super-duper-fantastic glamour with all the dancing girls in the costumes that are being little and frilly and the brassy music and most importantly, the diamonds, diamonds, diamonds! But maybe the Hollywood let down the Rahulio a little, because they have not been making any more of the big-tickets musical movies.

So now we enter the Outkast, who is making for Rahulio his day! The Outkast is being the Andre 3000 and the Big Boi, who the Rahulio is wondering maybe he is French?, and they are making many of the songs the young people are liking, like the one about shaking the little pictures that are coming out of the instant cameras and are making an image if you wait, or the one where they are apologizing a lot to a woman named Jackson. But now they have made a super-fantastic splashy musical called “Idlewild”, and it is starring themselves, and it is in the Georgia of the 1930s, and there is the spectacles and the music and the dancing girls who are wearing the frilly costumes and of course the amore, which is all the Rahulio is needing in a movie.

The Big Boi, who is being pictured here, he is liking the masculine diamond jewelry, what with the big chunky studs, which are saying, “I am a manly man of the considerable means.” Much like these 1 Carat Platinum Diamond Earrings, which at 2840 of the dollars you will also be needing the considerable means!

I am not a huge Britney fashion fan. I mean, sometimes she leaves her house looking like she’s been shoveling poo in a barn down on the farm. However, she’s cleans up really well. Some of her music gets on my nerves, but I have to admit that when I hear “I’m a slave for you” it makes me want to dance and get nasty! Yikes!

I feel like I have been going on about pearls a lot lately. Well, that’s because they are just so classic and perfect for any occasion - and the biggest stars are wearing them! Pearls add a touch of elegance to every outfit and, well, Britney needs a lot of help in the elegance department! Britney is wearing a beautiful black pearl pendant with diamond accents.

The perfect way to get Britney’s look is with this 7-7.5mm Akoya cultured black pearl with diamond accents for just $150. The large pearl in this pendant is crowned with three beautiful diamonds complement the elegant luster of the pearl. The classic polished white gold setting is versatile and enables you to mix and match this piece with other white gold and silver jewelry.

To complete the look, you need these matching diamond and black cultured pearl earrings. These elegant pearl studs mirror the design of the pendant and make for beautiful matching set. The great thing about jewelry sets is that it saves you time when planing your outfit. These earrings are also a perfect way to accessorize a “going out” ensemble - adding a touch of class to your Friday night for just $195.

One of People Magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People” Catalina Sandino Moreno made history when she was the first Columbian to be nominated for an Academy Award. In her breakthrough role in the movie Maria Full of Grace, Catalina showed her star quality. Catalina has a girl-ish face with soft features and has a hard time pulling off a more mature look. She’s done a great job here with her hair pulled back and her diamond and pearl accessories. Pearls always add a touch of sophistication and are perfect for elegant occasions.

You can get a similar look with this very classy diamond and cultured freshwater pearl pendant in 14K white gold. It features a fleur-de-lis design that make it regal and very feminine. It’s a gorgeous look for a variety of necklines. It’s stunning and priced right at just $195!

I am in LOVE with these diamond and freshwater cultured pearl earrings in 14K white gold! They are the perfect match to the pendant but would look fabulous with any strand of pearls. This pair of earrings really make an impact with the large pearls connected by strands of diamonds and white gold. It’s a look that’s perfection. They’d be the perfect earrings to wear to a gallery opening, the theater, or a romantic restaurant. Forward this post your your beau - these earrings will make a great gift at just $250!

Girl, even though you look like your ready for an Addams Family reunion with your dark dress and white skin, there’s no need for scaring the audience with your sneer. Ok, I actually like the dress, but for the living, the black fingernail polish is a little too goth. I appreciate what she’s trying to so here with the skin cancer message (no tan), but her skin is so white it’s almost see-thru. Yikes! Bronzer please! Talk about letting your true colors shine through! The top looks a little too small for her and her chest is getting smushed and pushed up. Can you say, uncomfortable?!

But where is the jewelry?! Seriously - attention all stars - jewelry makes you look better! Although I am not sure that Cyndi was trying to look good here. Anyway, she at least has some tiny earrings in. One point for her.

I read somewhere that the reason men buy bright red sports cars is because they’re naturally responsive to that shade. I mean, the “lady in red” gets attention for a reason. So a wonderful way to accessorize a look to get a guy’s attention is with shades bright red. Bright red is a great way to go with a black dress. Now, you might feel a little naughty in the red, but don’t worry. A outfit done tastefully will not get you picked up on the street corner.
This 1/2 carat ruby and diamond 14K white gold ring with antique styling would have looked wonderful with Cyndi’s outfit. The lacy dress would have coordinated well with the intricate design of this ring. This ring is great for a special occasion but will also be right at home on your finger every day. It’s a great choice for women that like the vintage style or even to give a little romance to a sleek black outfit.

For just $75 you can add a touch of sexy red to any outfit. This Julie Leah sterling silver watch with Swarovshi crystals features a red leather strap that adds some color but in a conservative way. This elegant timepiece has a mother of pearl dial and quartz movement. It’s a wonderful and budget mindful way to accessorize with red.

These stylish 14K white gold and garnet earrings feature four princess-cut garnets each. This adds a tons of sparkle and shine inside the bezel setting. They’re a perfect piece to add a little red at Christmas time, Valentine’s Day, or the Fourth of July. They are a classy way to bring a bit of bright red into your wardrobe.

Kate Bosworth and Brandon Routh, stars of Superman Returns, hit the red carpet recently in sleek black and white. Black and white looks great on just about everyone and it’s a safe bet for formal occasions.

Kate is decked out in a 1920s inspired dress and her necklace is a unique piece featuring fabric covered beads. She’s accented it with a fabulous piece of marcasite and onyx that completes her vintage look. You can get the same look with this marcasite and onyx sterling silver pin for just $40. The art deco design helps you achieve the vintage look but it’s also flexible enough to pair with many of the outfits you already have in your closet. I think that it would be a great clasp for a scarf or shawl with your “little black dress”.

Kate left the house without earrings! Obviously, she doens’t read this blog, because she’d know better. I just don’t understand why people think that it’s ok to be fabulous in every other way and not finish the look with earrings! A perfect choice would have been simple diamond studs or these 14K white gold Tahitian Cultured Pearl earrings. For just $195 these earrings add tons of luxury and class to any outfit. They are dramatic but simple making them perfect for elegant occasions.

Now that Kate Hudson and her rocker husband Chris Robinson have separated she’ll have one more finger for bling! I love Kate Hudson. She’s cute and sophisticated at the same time. Whenever I am watching things that she’s in, I try to pick out mannerisms that she learned from her mom Goldie Hawn. There is a scene in Raising Helen where Kate’s voice sounds exactly like Goldie’s - it’s scary!

In this picture, Kate is donning a big white stone ring that really adds to her bohemian look. Big, chunky jewelry can be a lot of fun. Done the right way it grabs attention and makes a memory.

You can make a big impression with this terrific opal ring with diamonds in 14K white gold. It has a similar look to the white stone that’s making Kate smile. Opals are wonderful for any occasion. Their sparkle and fire add a unique touch to any outfit. Opals coordinate well with diamonds and other gems. This ring featuring a large stone in a diamond studded setting is just $235!

You may not know her name, but you know her voice. Shirley Bassey is the voice behind several theme songs from James Bond films including Goldfinger and Diamonds are Forever. This lady looks like she knows a thing or two about jewelry and fashion! I love the bright red color of her dress and the waterfall heart earrings are very glamorous.

You can get some of the sizzle that Shirley has with these fabulous diamond heart drop 14K white gold earrings. This dangly design is great for evening or a romantic occasion. It’s a great way to add sparkle and glam without being overpowering.

You can turn on the romance for just $85 with these elegant triple heart earrings. The textured hearts are crafted out of 14K white gold and hung together to give graceful movement. With earrings like this, you too can be a Bond girl!

Eva Mendes showed up to MTV’s TRL without her earrings! I know that TRL is a casual show, but a girl is never fully dressed without earrings! Even so, Eva looks sexy and natural. She’s got a little bit of a 70s thing going on. Her hair has lots of volume and is carefree but stylish.
Her pink pearl necklace is feminine and adds a really soft complement to her purple dress. A great pairing for the pink pearl strand would have been these pink cultured freshwater pearls in 14K yellow gold. The pink color adds warmth to the pearls and gives a unique twist to this classic look. The button shaped pearls are set on gold leverbacks. They are a great wardrobe basic and priced right at just $60.

Malcolm in the Middle star Jane Kaczmarek looks like she’s been lassoed a couple of times with turquoise ropes! I like the necklace itself but I think that it’s just too much for her dress. Something smaller and more delicate would have made a more refined look.

A beautiful way to incorporate your love of turquoise into your wardrobe is with this fantastic silver, turquoise, and onyx necklace. The delicate gems are appropriately sized for an evening dress but can also be used to spice up any casual outfit for just $85.

These silver, turquoise, and onyx earrings are the perfect match to the necklace. They’ll save you time from having to shop for a matching pair! Plus at just $50, these earrings with their black accents will go with many outifts you already have in your closet. There’s no need to go overboard with color - just a touch can make a big difference.

Angelina Jolie is so perfect it makes me want to throw up. She grew out of that Billy Bob trailer park phase and has bloomed into really a stunning woman. While I have a hard time keeping my goldfish alive and my hair brushed, Angelina looks fab-u-lous and is mother to half the world. In this photo she looks great. Her make up is natural and perfect - very classy, no?!

Her pearl earrings are stunning. They are huge pearls! These wonderful cultured pearl earrings in platinum settings are a great way to get a similar look. Platinum is really the hottest metal in the jewelry world right now but it’s also classic. These earrings are on sale right now for just $195 but hurry because quanities are limited and you might miss out!

If your style is a little more romantic, then you can’t beat these sweet freshwater cultured rice pearl earrings with 14K yellow gold heart leverbacks. For just $75 you can have these earrings that will give any outfit a feminine touch. The diamond hearts add a beautiful sparkle to these classic pearl earrings.

Desperate Housewives star Terri Hatcher is a perfect way for me to launch my new series called Bling Finger. Everone knows about the ring finger - keep that for some wedding day glam. The bling finger can be any of the other nine fingers on your hand. Pick a finger and add some bling! I have even seen some very elegant women even sporting knock-out pinky rings!

Terri Hatcher is working a big rose quartz ring with a sivler or white gold setting. You can get a very similar look with this rose quartz cabochon ring in 14k yellow gold for just $175. The yellow gold adds additional warmth to the rose quartz a universal symbol of love. You’ll especially like the versatility of this piece.

If you love the look of white gold, you’ll love this rose quartz and rhodolite ring in white gold. Similar in color to what Terri Hatche ris wearing, this ring will add a feminine splash of pink to any special occasion. It reminds me of that fabulous pink cocktail dress Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Add some passion into your life with this pink ring in your jewelry box! It’s one sale right now for just $115!
