They makes a wonderfully classy pair. Pilar looks so radiant in this picture. She practically glows! While Deion isn&#8217;t sporting much bling, Pilar is stepping out with beautiful diamond earrings styled in concentric circles. This twist on a hoop design really makes a bold statement and is very dramatic.</p>

(Stay tuned for footage of the Devil trying to de-ice his Mazda.) I&#8217;m so tired of these tacky celebrity weddings: &#8220;We&#8217;re getting married in a castle that we&#8217;re having towed to the Caribbean. Just kidding! We&#8217;re getting married in a homeless shelter in Mbutbeleland. Just kidding! We rented Monaco and the Pope.) Mariah Carey just went and did it. Bazing. There weren&#8217;t three long years of &#8220;Are they engaged? Yes. No. Yes. Yes. No. Yes. No. Wait. Who?&#8221; She just up and did it, which was a surprisingly tasteful and - dare I say this about M. Car? - discreet move.</p>

She&#8217;s talented, sassy, and just, if I haven&#8217;t mentioned it, cute as a damn bug. I only have one problem with her - she doesn&#8217;t wear a lot of jewelry. It is <em>hard </em>to find a picture of her wearing cute jewelry. I could have done a lot worse than this one, though. The gold dress is a brave and unusual choice, and it looks beautiful on her. Her hoops-with-dangles earrings are youthful without being juvenile, and they match her dress and features admirably.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/wp-content/uploads/joeroy/uma_thurman.jpg" alt="uma_thurman.jpg" title="uma_thurman.jpg" align="right" width="217" height="305" hspace="5" border="2" /> Well, poor Uma Thurman. I mean, aside from her fortune and wonderful career and amazing action talent. Apparently La Thurman (that one doesn&#8217;t work at all, does it?) has had stalker troubles, as occasionally plague prettier Hollywood actresses. Fortunately for national stability, if not for tabloids, it didn&#8217;t reach attempted assassin proportions, as with Jodie Foster; apparently Thurman&#8217;s stalker did, however, send her some &#8220;original stick figure art.&#8221; (I wonder if actresses compete over this.)</p>
<p>Not to sound creepy, but it&#8217;s easy to see how someone could get in a little over his head over Uma Thurman, because she is gorgeous. Check her out here. Isn&#8217;t that just a good idea of how to put a woman&#8217;s face together? And, because it&#8217;s me, I&#8217;m also drawn to her bracelet. I&#8217;m usually not a fan of super, super ornate, but on its own and paired with a simple, elegant outfit this bracelet could be beyond sensational. <a href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=150225529&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01" target="_blank"><img src="http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2375/v022/www.ice.com/productimages/bsw989114_b_b.jpg" alt="blue topaz and gold over silver bracelet" align="left"/></a>Go for a similar look with this <a href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=150225529&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01" target="_blank">gold over sterling silver blue topaz bracelet</a>. A lovely, square-cut blue topaz shines out of a fancy, two-toned gold setting. A super-glamorous piece for when you want to feel like a movie star - and at only $195, you won&#8217;t have to wait to be &#8220;discovered&#8221; to buy it!</p>

<p>OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD.</p>
<p>LINDSAY LOHAN (might have allegedly rumor has it) STOLE A FUR COAT</p>
<p>According to the New York Post (I know, I know, but still) the lovely Miss Lohan attended a party this January&#8230; and waltzed off with a fur belonging to a Columbia undergrad! (I literally cannot imagine having had a fur coat in college. Or actually finishing college. Anyway.) The Post has pictures of Lohan coming in in a tasteful black coat&#8230; and emerging in a lovely fur. With the stolen coat and the cocaine pants, she&#8217;s a terrorism blouse, smuggling hairdo, and a pair of murderboots away from a full felony ensemble.<br />
<a href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=158173305&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01" target="_blank"><br />
<img src="http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2375/v022/www.ice.com/productimages/nsw709350_b_b.jpg" alt="silver and cubic zirconia necklace" align="left"/></a>And it&#8217;s not like she doesn&#8217;t own nice things. Look at her necklace! Granted, this is from her redhead, sober, pre-career-Hindenburg days, but it&#8217;s still a beaut, and probably hers! It&#8217;s a sparkly fun look that&#8217;s understated enough to pair with more accessories, but enough to sport on its own. Go for the same look with this <a href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=158173305&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01" target="_blank">silver and cubic zirconia necklace</a> - not only is it a beautiful evening piece, but at $95, it&#8217;s an absolute steal! (I kill me.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/wp-content/uploads/joeroy/Hannah_Montana.jpg" alt="Doesn't look a THING like Miley Cyrus." title="Doesn't look a THING like Miley Cyrus." align="right" width="240" height="320" hspace="5" border="2" />In keeping with the whole &#8220;let&#8217;s pretend they&#8217;re two different people&#8221; schtick, here&#8217;s a picture of noted teen rockstar Hannah Montana, not be confused with noted &#8220;isn&#8217;t she kind of young to photographed nude in a bedsheet&#8221; model and Achy Breaky Heiress, Miley Cyrus. She looks super-cute here. Her dress, provided it&#8217;s long enough, which I can&#8217;t really tell from the picture and could go either way, is tremendously flattering while still being age-appropriate. It&#8217;s also a wonderful color for her complexion, which looks active and tanned without seeming fakebaked. I&#8217;m not crazy about her chunky highlights, but that&#8217;s a choice and they don&#8217;t look <em>bad</em>, just not to my taste. I&#8217;m on the fence about whether she has on too much jewelry. There&#8217;s no one piece I would object to, but earrings and cocktail ring and bangles could be just too much. I&#8217;d probably need to have a better look at her earrings to be sure.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=113609757&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01" target="_blank"><img src="http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2375/v022/www.ice.com/productimages/bgw066436_b_b.jpg" alt="two-tone gold bangle bracelet" align="left"/></a>She could simplify and streamline her look while still being dressy - and still having the fun of a lot of jewelry - by replacing her various gold bangles with this <a href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=113609757&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01" target="_blank">two-tone yellow and white gold bracelet</a>. This is a gorgeous piece, eye-catching but simple and elegant without being too demure for a young actress at a premiere. And since it&#8217;s only $295, this great bracelet isn&#8217;t restricted to child stars with achy, breaky fortunes!</p>

Get it in GEAR. Anyway, I was visiting Mom and checked out her local paper online. Well, I about fell out of my chair when I saw an article on right hand rings. Now, those of you who read this blog regularly (thanks!) will know that I have been writing about right hand rings for years now. Our series bling finger is all about right hand rings! The right hand ring is a trend among successful women who buy their own jewelry to celebrate themselves. Soooooooo - if you&#8217;re not yet a mother or even never want to become one, this Mother&#8217;s Day is a prefect occasion to celebrate your womanhood with a right hand ring!!!</p>

Sometimes called green amethyst, green quartz is from the same quartz family as the traditional purple amethyst, but its glorious mint green hue gives it a special radiant glow. It&#8217;s a wonderful look for any time of the year but is really well suited for spring and summer looks.</p>

<p>Before I talk about her jewelry - and oh, we will talk about her jewelry - I want to talk about her father. If you had told me, when I was in elementary school and &#8220;Achy Breaky Heart&#8221; was on the radio (every hour of every broadcast of every station of every day) that someday I would think to myself, &#8220;You know, Billy Ray Cyrus is kind of a bad father,&#8221; I wouldn&#8217;t have believed you - and being nine years old, might have kicked you in the shins. Seriously, though. Does her father have a brain in his head? She&#8217;s what, sixteen? And she&#8217;s constantly on the road / filming / shooting whatever? And her birth name was something like Destiny Geranium or something? I was skeptical of how she was being raised even before the Annie Leibowitz photography flap.<br />
<a href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=160263186&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01" target="_blank"><br />
<img src="http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2375/v022/www.ice.com/productimages/pdh209433_b_b.jpg" alt="gold and diamond heart pendant" align="left"/></a>And then I got terrible, terrible confirmation that she was being raised terribly. She showed up somewhere wearing - what else, now? - a pink plastic heart necklace. I don&#8217;t have the words. Pink&#8230; plastic&#8230; heart&#8230;   pendant. I don&#8217;t want to seem judgmental, but that is TACKY. Any parent should have seen this in her room and burned it. If she wants a heart, she should wear real jewelry, like this <a href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=160263186&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01" target="_blank">two-tone gold and diamond heart pendant</a>. It&#8217;s playful and youthful without being plastic. And at only $95, her father could pick it up for what he makes on 20 seconds of replay of that friggin&#8217; &#8220;Achy Breaky.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/wp-content/uploads/joeroy/cynthia_nixon.jpg" alt="President Nixon" title="President Nixon" align="right" width="206" height="308" hspace="5" border="2" />I had kind of a problem with Cynthia Nixon&#8217;s look on Sex and the City. Cynthia Nixon (C.Nix? No, I&#8217;m not feeling it) is beautiful and glamorous, but I never felt like she got to show herself off as much as she deserved, although, granted, it&#8217;s hard to shine when Sarah Jessica Parker is pulling focus by wearing a pink bikini under a mink coat that has been belted with a python. that said, she might be the best comedic actress of the group. I remember situations of all the characters, but I&#8217;m more likely to remember Miranda&#8217;s actual lines - and their razor-sharp delivery.</p>
<p>See what I mean about glamorous? Cynthia Nixon has survived breast cancer, coming out, and her fortieth birthday, but she still looks amazing on the red carpet. Redheads aren&#8217;t &#8220;supposed&#8221; to wear red, but she pulls it off without a hitch here. Her hairstyle looks great, and her makeup is as sexy as it can be without being garish. She stepped to the line, but not over. <a href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=111102922&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01" target="_blank"><img src="http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2375/v022/www.ice.com/productimages/edf206162_b_b.jpg" alt="diamond and gold hoop earrings" align="left"/></a>I have mixed feeling about her earrings. They work, but they could be better. I feel like the sticking-out gems make a weird shape that&#8217;s slightly distracting. If I were her&#8230; I would be rich and famous, and that would be awesome, but also I would have chosen these <a href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=111102922&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01" target="_blank">half carat diamond gold hoop earrings</a> with this outfit. These earrings pair the classic, versatile hoop shape with the sparkle of diamonds without being odd or overdone. Even if you&#8217;re not Cynthia Nixon (which, sadly, most of us aren&#8217;t,) you can still afford this great look at a bargain $295!</p>

I&#8217;m just going to go through the Sex and the City ladies this week. I don&#8217;t have a lot to say about Kristin Davis, really, except that she is absolutely lovely. She&#8217;s unquestionably beautiful, but in her own way. She&#8217;s Kristin Davis pretty, not starlet pretty. It&#8217;s probably wholly due to her character on the show, but I have this strange idea that she is just absolutely sweet. It&#8217;s probably just her appearance - doesn&#8217;t she look like a nun who would become entangled with an Austrian army general and raise his kids and convince him not to marry the Baroness and&#8230; anyway. I&#8217;ve never seen The Sound of Music.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=149601312&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01" target="_blank"><img src="http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2375/v022/www.ice.com/productimages/ecc208954_b_b.jpg" alt="topaz earrings" align="left"/></a>Classic musical tangents aside, she looks great in this picture. She&#8217;s chosen to pair &#8220;being Kristin Davis&#8221; - a classic look in itself - with a lovely pair of sparkling earrings. They&#8217;re simple, yet elegant, and will complement any outfit. Kristin probably shelled out for diamonds, but you can get the same effect with these <a href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=149601312&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01" target="_blank">9 1/2 carat white topaz earrings</a>. Large clear topazes gleam in a basic white gold setting - an absolute must for any jewelry box, and a real bargain at $195!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/wp-content/uploads/kim_cattrall.jpg" alt="Wacky!" title="Wacky!" align="right" width="200" height="295" hspace="5" border="2" />I may just run through all the <em>Sex and the City</em> ladies this week. Of the actresses on that show, Kim Cattrall is the one I&#8217;d most like to just hang out with. She&#8217;s older than the usual sex symbol, and she doesn&#8217;t come close to caring, and she pulls it off. She knows she&#8217;s sexy, and she&#8217;s sexy because she knows it. (And probably because she&#8217;s had work done, but hey! It was good work.) She manages to take a cliched sitcom character - &#8220;slut&#8221; - and turn in a realistic, nuanced performance without sacrificing laughs.</p>
<p>That said, all that said, what is this necklace? It would be fine in another context - not on everyone, but Cattrall has her own brand of tasteful over-the-top - but there&#8217;s no reason to wear it with this top. The fringe hits right below the neckline. That&#8217;s&#8230; weird. It&#8217;s gotten tucked into her undercleavage. <a href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=126080234&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.ice.com/productimages/nsw707003_b_t.jpg" alt="milano glass bead necklace" align="left"/></a>If she wanted a fun look, she should have gone with something like this <a href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=126080234&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01">triple strand glass and sterling silver bead necklace</a>. It&#8217;s unusual and vivacious without causing neckline problems. And at $95, she could have easily covered it with ten seconds of <em>Sex and the City</em> screen time!</p>

I&#8217;m not available right now but, please leave a message and I&#8217;ll get back to you as soon as I have a space in my busy schedule of running a titanic media empire and performing numerous charitable works permits.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Oprah. This is Joe Roy. Listen. I know you&#8217;re going to Tom Cruise&#8217;s vacation home, and I know you&#8217;re afraid. I&#8217;m afraid for you. There might not be phones on the ice planet Hoth, home of the seven-headed dragon god who sees all, so I&#8217;ve thought of a signal. <a href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=139894567&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01" target="_blank"><img src="http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2375/v022/www.ice.com/productimages/egy088023_b_b.jpg" alt="patterned gold hoops" align="left"/></a>If you need help, wait until the first photo op, and then wear <a href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=139894567&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01" target="_blank">a pair of tasteful patterned gold hoops, similar to these 14-karat ones featuring a concentric oval design</a>, available from ice.com for sixty-five dollars. They&#8217;re a classy daytime look for a professional woman, so you won&#8217;t seem suspicious. When I see them, I&#8217;ll know you need help, and I&#8217;ll come get you. I&#8230; I love you, Oprah. Be brave!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/wp-content/uploads/SarahJessicaParker_LRG.jpg" alt="Diva alert!" title="Diva alert!" align="right" width="210" height="272" hspace="5" border="2" />I have mixed feelings about Sarah Jessica Parker. One the one hand, she&#8217;s sassy, and <em>Sex and the City</em> did have its moments. On the other hand, <em>Sex and the City</em> had moments, rather than episodes or seasons, and she dresses like she comes from a planet that doesn&#8217;t have clothes and she&#8217;s not over the novelty. Do you ever play the Sarah Jessica Parker game, in which you come up with the most outlandish outfit you can imagine, and then go through her old publicity stills to see how close you were? Try it: a mink pillbox hat, pink naugahyde blouse, tutu, electric blue leggings with kind of a watermark pattern, and wooden Dutch clogs? (Hint: <em>First Wives&#8217; Club</em>.) Anyway, I saw the poster for the <em>Sex and the City</em> movie today, and&#8230; no. No, ma&#8217;am. I&#8217;m going to ignore the terrible, terrible design of the poster - with difficulty, and only because this is a celebrity blog, not a media design blog - so I can concentrate on its larger flaw.</p>
<p>It only has Sarah Jessica Parker on it. Alone. The other actresses are nowhere to be seen.</p>
<p><em>Sex and the City</em> was an ensemble cast. That&#8217;s why it was funny. It wasn&#8217;t the SJP show, and for good reason. It seems &#8220;star&#8221; and executive producer SJP has decided, at this late stage, to try to anoint herself Leading Lady. It&#8217;s a tacky, tacky move, and even if it wasn&#8217;t SJP&#8217;s idea, she shouldn&#8217;t have done it. No class.</p>
<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s a picture of SJP dressed like an Earth woman. (It must have been Halloween.) Her dressers accessorized her well, except for what appears to be a black satin rose, but we must take the bitter with the sweet. Her necklace is unusual and fun, in keeping with Parker&#8217;s commitment to a unique personal style, but is restrained, tasteful, and - dare I say it? - age-appropriate. Her earrings match her look. They&#8217;re dressy enough to match her outfit, but they&#8217;re not so flashy as to overstated and gaudy. If you got rid of that &#8220;flower,&#8221; this would be a home run.<br />

<img src="http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2375/v022/www.ice.com/productimages/ecc208261_b_b.jpg" alt="green quartz earrings" align="left"/></a>These <a href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=144245216&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01" target="_blank">green quartz and diamond white gold earrings</a> are a good example of dressy, but not overstated jewelry. They&#8217;re posh enough that you&#8217;ll never seem underdressed in them, but scaled down enough that you can comfortably wear other jewelry with them without going over the top. The green of the quartz is subtle enough that they&#8217;ll be relatively easy to match, but still a clear, lovely shade. Wear them on your next movie poster for only $195!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/wp-content/uploads/icegrrl/2008/April/Faith_Hill.JPG" alt="Faith Hill" title="Faith Hill" align="right" width="177" height="415" hspace="5" border="2" />I think Faith Hill is one of the most beautiful women in entertainment today. She&#8217;s just a freakin&#8217; Barbie. Tall. Blond. Perfect body. I SO have a HUGE resentment against Faith. Anyway, I get her desire to stand out from the crowd - but this Bat Girl outfit is just awful! It&#8217;s just a few steps away from a Hefty Cinch Sack. Here&#8217;s a word to the wise: unless you&#8217;re built like Faith (10 feet tall and slim slim slim) DO NOT attempt to wear tight, high cut slacks. Even on Faith, they make the upper part of her skinny legs seem larger than the bottom. They also make her legs appear shorter than they really are. Most women want the illusion to do the other way - they want their behinds to appear smaller and their legs longer.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=128342542&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01"><img src="http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2375/v022/www.ice.com/productimages/rcc367290_b_b.jpg" alt="4 3/4 Carat Rutilated Quartz and Diamond 14K Gold Ring" align="left" border="0" hspace="5"/></a>But ladies check out Faith&#8217;s huge ring on her right hand. She&#8217;s working the Bling Finger trend by wearing this huge cocktail ring on the middle finger of her right hand. Buying a diamond that size would be too costly for most of us. This <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=128342542&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01">4 3/4 Carat Rutilated Quartz and Diamond 14K Gold Ring</a> is a wonderful way to make a grand statement like Faith&#8217;s ring and stay within your budget. This ring is just $195. Rutile is a mineral that forms in hair-like strands. Quartz crystal can form over any mineral as in this rutillated quartz. The result is an uncommon yet lovely gemstone. The large gem set in lustrous yellow gold and accented by dazzling diamonds makes for a very unique look.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/wp-content/uploads/icegrrl/2008/April/Carrie Underwood_1.JPG" alt="Carrie Underwood" title="Carrie Underwood" align="right" width="185" height="381" hspace="5" border="2" />I just love this picture of Carrie Underwood. It looks like she&#8217;s &#8220;walking like and Egyptian&#8221; or something. I think it&#8217;s great when we see stars acting like real people. I think country music stars keep it real better than any other group. Carrie turned up at the CMT awards in basically an off-the-shoulder satin purple pillow case. It&#8217;s barely keeping her covered. Her earrings are fun and modern and really help pull off this look. She made a good choice not to wear a necklace. The decoration on the dress is enough.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=98347968&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01"><img src="http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2375/v022/www.ice.com/productimages/ecc734912_b_b.jpg" alt="5/8 Carat Tanzanite and Diamond 14K White Gold Earrings" align="left" border="0" hspace="5"/></a>Another great choice for Carrie - these would have matched her dress perfectly - would have been these <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=98347968&#038;sourceID=sparkl_01">5/8 Carat Tanzanite and Diamond 14K White Gold Earrings</a>. They&#8217;re just $225 and Tanzanite is hot. Vivid iris blue tanzanite gives these gorgeous earrings a touch of dramatic color. These delicately modern designs are beautifully crafted from lustrous white gold and set with violet-blue tanzanites and dazzling round diamonds.</p>
