Sparkle Like The Stars

Eva Mendes looks absolutely stunning in this gorgeous blue dress. The luster of the material just shines with stylish elegance. Eva really set her self off as something special at the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style Awards. I love the art deco influences in the crinkle pleats of her dress. The hemline is awesome for showing off her toned lower legs while hiding possibly less firm parts above. The sparkly platform heels are great too! I love it all around!

You can shine in blue too with these fantastic 13 1/5 carat created blue sapphire and CZ sterling silver earrings. At an amazingly low price of just $75, these beauties will give you bling without taking your bucks. I just get lost in the deep, rich blue tones of these dazzling earrings.

Another beautiful blue option are these incredible 1/2 carat blue and white diamond earrings in 14K white gold. Natural blue diamonds, like the famous Hope Diamond, are very rare. However a special process makes blue diamonds more accessible. Be the first among your friends to have elegant blue diamond earrings!

Ghetto-fabulous diva Lil Kim vamps on the red carpet at the VH1 Hip Hop Honors. She shows us all that she didn’t loose her stuff (we can see it all) during her recent stint in the slammer.

This big house beauty is missing part of her dress. The bottom half looks great. The top part looks like her boobs are pushing out of her dress like that scene from Alien.

If there’s one thing that I’d pay to see, it would be Lil Kim in jeans and a t-shirt. I want to see a picture of her standing in line at the supermarket looking, um, normal - if that’s even possible.

To help Lil Kim’s glam-down, I’d like to suggest this pair of delicate, feminine, and sweet cultured Akoya pearl stud earrings in 14K white gold. They’re the perfect earrings to wear for every day because they’re appropriate for all occasions. These earrings are just $25 which make them a nice-priced jewelry gift for someone special or yourself. Pearl jewelry has the mark of class and sophistication. Let’s just say that’s something Lil Kim could use a little of too.

Oprah Winfrey recently stepped out, honey, at the Hearst Tower inauguration. She was all wrapped up in a tight red dress. She’s looking pretty skinny, no? I remember reading something about how men respond strongly to bright red colors - that’s the reason men drive bright red sports cars. Women have learned this too. That’s the reason for bright red fingernails, lipstick, and Oprah’s red dress.

Take a close look at Oprah’s hand. She’s following a trend that many others in Hollywood are sporting too - a pinky ring. I wrote about this trend just the other day in my post about Barbra Streisand.

A great and inexpensive way to get in on this hot trend is with this 1/8 carat diamond 14K white and yellow gold band. For just $195, this band offers a ton of flexibility. Diamonds are always in style and the white and yellow gold combination allows you mix and match this ring with jewelry you already have. It’s a great every day piece but can add extra sparkle to any special occasion.

Shakira’s hips don’t lie and neither does her wrist - this girl knows fashion. Shakira brings her fresh and youthful Colombian beauty to everything she does. Here it shines through at the the Oye! awards in Puebla, Mexico.

Shakira is wearing a lovely braided gold bracelet. It’s a classic look that’s always in style. You can get the same look with this elegant 14K two tone byzantine bracelet. The two tones of gold means that this bracelet is super versatile. You can match it to any precious metal you already have in your jewelry collection. At just $395, this bracelet is a well crafted piece that you’ll find yourself wearing every day. It makes a wonderful gift or a birthday or the upcoming holidays!

Barbra Steisand recently cussed out a fan at a NYC concert. According to other concert goers she used the F word. Apparently some guy was heckling her about going on and on about politics. When I look at Babs here the F word that comes to mind is fat. I am a big Barbra Streisand fan, don’t get me wrong. But now that she’s got the hot husband she’s let herself go a little. I mean, The Mirror Has Two Faces is supposed to be a movie about therapy not a way for Babs to get a good view of her a**.

Of course, even though she’s gained a few pounds, I am sure she put on a good show. In this picture, she’s sparkling from head to toe in that black sweatery thing. Are those pockets?! Ugh! Anyway, this girl knows how to wear some jewelry though. She’s even got a pinky ring!

You can get some bling on your pinky too! It’s an interesting way to add sparkle to any outfit. This 1/2 carat tanzanite and diamond ring in a beautiful 14K white gold setting would make a fabulous ring for any finger - even your little one. The violet-blue hue of the tanzanite is a wonderful way to add rich color to your outfit. This ring features an amazing setting with 22 sparkling diamonds! Use this convenient ring sizer to be sure you get the perfect size for your little finger.

Sometimes I don’t recognize Anna Nicole Smith at first glance. I mean after she lost like 1000lbs her face looks a lot older. That fat sure was plumping up those wrinkles. Years of craziness will do that to ya. But I am not going to be too mean to poor Anna Nicole. She is a new mother and it really is a tragedy that she lost her son. It’s freakish how closely those two things happened but very Hollywood though, no?!

Here Anna Nicole almost looks like a normal woman. I guess that is the thing with her. From the outside she looks normal - beautiful even - but when she opens her mouth… well, it’s pure Anna Nicole! In this shot she’s wearing a diamond cross pendant. If you’re a regualr reader, you already know the diamond cross pendant is a jewelry collection “must have”. Everyone in Hollywood has one.

You can get one too! This 14K white gold and diamond cross pendant is a great beginner piece for just $150. It’s subtle enough for everyday wear. It’s perfect for church or a serious occasion or wearing to the supermarket. Team this pendant up with a couple of other necklaces and you’ve got yourself and instant rock ‘n roll look too!

P. Diddy is back and his new release is making its way up the music charts. Not that he ever went anywhere really. I mean, he’s been busy with fashion and fun. We’ve seen him at music award shows, on the red carpet, and fashion shows.

P. Diddy brings his uber-masculine and slick style to everything he does. Part of his sexy look are big diamond stud earrings. The large size of the stones is what makes it manly. In this case, um, size does matter!

You can get the P.Diddy look with these incredible 1 carat diamond stud earrings in platinum settings. They feature brilliant round-cut diamonds in secure screw-back settings. They come at a Hollywood price at $2,840 - but you only live once! Of course these earrings would also be an exquisite gift for the special woman in your life - especially if that woman is you!

Sarah Jessica Parker knows how to dress. I mean, she is always on someone’s best dressed list! She’s sex in the city, sex in the country - just sexy all over. Part of her appeal is the creative way she uses hot fashion trends in a traditional way. Instead of going all the way into a trend - say, only wearing leopard print if that’s the thing - Sarah Jessica just integrates a touch or hint of the trend into her wardrobe. That’s a great style pointer for you too. Instead of buying the leopard print dress, you can just buy a leopard print belt to go with your skinny jeans and vintage t-shirt.

You can instantly spice up your wardrobe with these fantastic zig-zag diamond earrings in 14K white gold. Diamonds and white gold will always be “in” and the creative design on these earrings brings in a little funky twist. They’re great for work or play. This pair of earrings is dramatic and interesting - not just the same old diamond earring.

First it was Eva Longoria and now it’s aging fashion GOD, Yves Saint Laurent who took a fall recently in Paris. The reclusive, 70 year old designer slipped and fell. Emergency workers helped him at the scene and he was not treated at a hospital.

Yves Saint Laurent is a classic in fashion. His designs are honored as timeless and elegant. You can get a timeless and elegant look yourself with this pair of stunning 14K white gold diamond and freshwater pearl earrings. For just $115, this pair of earrings will be the perfect accessory to any special event from weddings to holiday parties. These earrings combine the right amount of size and sparkle to get noticed and yet remain very classy.

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria knows how to take a fall apparently. It was reported that on the set recently she took a spill heading out of her trailer and was treated at a local hospital. Nothing was broken, but trooper Eva returned to the set with bruised ribs.

I am sure it was those super cute heels that she’s always running around in! She’s always so well put together - on Oprah or stilling courtside watching her boyfriend play ball.

Eva was one of the very first stars to sport the very popular circle diamond pendant. An elegant and dramatic twist on that wonderful design is this iolite and diamond circle pendant in 14K white gold. This stylish piece the violet-blue iolite and sparkling diamonds that makes for a smashing combination. It’s a great bargain piece, priced only at $250!

Proving that you’re never too old to learn new tricks, Cher is getting a new look - for her house. Cher recently auctioned off loads of junk that she had in storage for years and made a bundle. Her tag sale - a fancy pants auction of more than 700 items - brought in more than $3.5 million! Jeepers! Cher said that she was going to give some to charity and the rest she was going to use to redecorate her Malibu home.

One question - doesn’t Cher look like Yoko Ono in this picture?!

Well, you can redecorate yourself in style too - and you won’t need $3.5 million! This decorative multistone and diamond sterling silver pendant is just $65. It’s a great bargain for this versatile piece. Featuring exotic stones like rhodolite, iolite, and rich amethyst, this necklace is just the thing to start a new look or refresh an old one.

You know, many of the actresses they are loving the Jesus very much, if you are to be believing what they are wearing around their necks. And the Nicollette Sheridan, she is saying, “I will not being exceptings to this rule!” You may be thinking, “But the Nicollette! You are one of the desperate housewives! And you were dropping your towel in the locker room and showing your sexy woman body to the big football player on the national televisings!”

But when you are seeing the book in the store, are you saying, “Aha! I have seen the cover of this book, so I am knowing all its contents and I am not having to read it?” No, of course you are not saying this! So you should not be having the assumptions about the Nicollette! If she is wanting to be wearing something like the 14Kt White Gold Diamond Cross, you cannot be stopping her!

The Rahulio he has had many birthdays (probably more than you are thinking, but the Rahulio is being demure and will not be revealing his true number of the years), but none of them are seeming so exciting as the birthday the Beyonce was having last month!

You are seeing, the Beyonce first she released the new album, called “B’Day”, on her birthday, and then the Much Music in the Canadia was having a party for her! And what a party it is seeming to be! Look at the muscles on this boy! He is being more sculpted than the life work of the Michelangelo! His abs they are being taller than the tower of the Church of La Sagrada Familia! And he is being shiny like the moonlit sea at the shore of the Valencia! Oh dios mio! It is enough to be making someone pop like one of the balloons the Beyonce is about to be poking with that needle!

And what earrings are you having, the Beyonce! Someone has told you all about the 1/4 Carat Diamond 14K Tear Drop Earrings! The perfect earrings for the birthday girls!

I am starting a new series of men’s jewelry called Studs. We’ll be featuring rings, watches, stud earrings, and other fashion accessory must-haves. George Michael is no stranger to men’s jewelry - or the beat seat of a cop car apparently. According to reports, he was recently found slumped over the wheel of his car - AGAIN! Time to find a good recovery program, Michael!

Back in the day, I had a huge crush on George Michael. From Careless Whisper to Last Christmas to his infatuation with supermodels - I was a big fan along the way. His voice and music still get me going but his arrest record does not.

This elegant men’s ring features a Cartier-style pattern in 14K white gold on a beautiful yellow gold band. This masculine ring is on sale right now for only $165! It would be a great way to get a head start on the holiday shopping for your sweetie - or yourself!

Poor Lindsay! (For some reason, I can hear Rahulio’s voice - “The poor Lindsay, she…”) This girl has been through more crap-ola in her short life than Elizabeth Taylor! Here she is with her left arm all wrapped up. Girl, that’s what you get from drunk rollerblading! Just kidding! This girl is way accident prone. I mean, it feels like just last week that I was writing about her cutting herself up with a tea cup. Lindsay, be careful! I don’t know about you, but if my arm was hurt enough to be all wrapped up like that, I don’t think that I would be DRIVING! I mean, this girl has more money than God and she can afford to have someone driver her around. I mean, call a cab!

Lindsay has the casual California look down pat. A vintage tshirt with SHORT shorts, some accessories and you’re good to go. Lindsay doesn’t scrimp on the glam jewels! She’s wearing some killer diamond studs. You can get a similar look with these 1 carat diamond cluster earrings in 14K white gold. At $995, these beauties come at a movie star price, but they’ll look great with your Louis Vuitton purse and you’re worth it! They are an investment piece that will never go out of style. Plus they’re perfect for any occasion from running to the grocery store, to a night out on the town, or driving around LA with your arm bandaged like a freakin’ mummy.
