The Big Brother star, Caprice will join the trail of other celebrities, as she releases her own brand of perfume next January. At present she has her own series of lingerie that is now in its sixth season and had recently launched her own brand of hair straighteners.

She is following in the footsteps of Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton who all have released their own perfumes. The lingerie model is hopeful to cash in on the celebrity scent trend as she says:

It’s a great thing to do because the profit margins are just so big. I’m hoping it will be released some time next January.

Caprice was outraged in March when there was news of checking her into rehab after a drugs overdose. The model was working abroad at that time and the first time she heard about it was when she received voicemail messages from her worried mother.

Caprice said:

When I got off the plane from Johannesburg to Paris and looked at my Blackberry, there were seven messages from my mum. On four of them she was crying hysterically. I had to ring everyone and reassure them it was a load of rubbish.

Her Caprice underwear is bought over by two million women in the UK. The tremendous success of her line in the UK has now made her distribute the line in South Africa, America, and Germany.

The star is also an ambassador for the Prince’s Trust, a chairman for ChildLine, and a committee member of Jewish Blind and Disabled, Action on Addiction and Breast Cancer Awareness.

The eighties pop star and American Idol judge, Paula Abdul is due to launch her first fragrance. The Had Over Heels singer thought for the new venture when she recently discovered her hidden talent of having a good nose for a hit smell.

The fragrance would be known as Sexy Thoughts and for the launch the Straight Up singer agreed when she herself assured of the nice smell after spraying it on her and taking it for a test smell.

On describing the smell of fragrance Paula said:

It’s fun, it’s flirty, it’s chic. It’s sexy... It totally captures the spirit of who I am.

Abdul jokingly added that she was now looking for a series of ‘different’ smell to try on her friend and fellow Idol judge Simon Cowell.

Mentioning the different smell she further added:

In the middle of coming up with my fragrance line, I asked the question, ‘By any chance do you have anything that smells like cat pee, and cow poop and, like, farts?’ I want to put those elements in a bottle, and call it Ode to Simonella. I ‘m going to put it together and I’m going to surprise him next season, and douse it all over the chair.

Canadian country artist Shania Twain is set to launch her new fragrance ‘Shania Starlight’. The singer’s website describes this new scent as an evening fragrance that captures Twain’s glamorous and sensuous side. The first scent created by the star was daytime scent called Shania by Stetson, meant to celebrate her ‘western chic’ style.

Shania, who was once a Revlon spokesperson, stated that creating scents has been an educational experience. While talking to CMT she said,

I learned a lot about scents... about zoning in on what I really love, what I like, because I haven’t really thought about it so deeply before. I never had to decide what my favorite scents were. I basically just went into the shops, sprayed things on... liked it or didn’t like it. So I did learn a lot from the first fragrance, and I would say I even learned more with the second one because I had to dig deeper.

This latest perfume will hit stores in September.
