The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsCelebrity Stinks
What is with celebrities going ape s**t over selling their own line of perfume? J-Lo, Celine Dion *shudder*, Beyonce, Britney Spears, Sarah Jessica Parker, Maria Sharapova (tennis celeb), Alan Cumming, Naomi Campbell, and Madonna among others.
Consumers are becoming more and more autonomous as they don't reach for the stars themselves by choosing their own scent preference, but rely on their favourite celebrities to tell them how to smell.
If you happen to be a fan of Celine dion *shudder*, you will likely buy her scent over making a choice based on what you actually like as a smell.
Similarly, if you don't like J-Lo, you will not likely buy her perfume, even though it might smell really nice on you.
I'm just apprehensive of the day they come out with Michael Moore's fragrance, Essence of Glutonous Blue Whale.
You must also fear the dangers of Courtney Love's new fragrance Eau De Nasty Snatch. It's poisonous too; you do not want to inject this perfume into your system as it's toxins will cause sudden death.

LMAO @ Michael Moore I do have to say though that when I was first married and my husband was still a merchant seaman he made several trips to Rotterdam and each time brought me back some ambergris. This has got to be some of the best smelling stuff I've ever wrapped my nostrils around, and it comes from whales. The closest thing I've ever found to it is Shalimar.

ROFL, but with an incredulous "Alan (Heh, I almost typed Anal) Cumming has a perfume?!"
I found a perfume I liked 4 or 5 years ago. Unfortunately, the label fell off, so I have no idea what it's called.

You could get nick nolte's fragrance by goin' to the quik-mart, pickin up a 22oz Michelob and dumpin it on yourself.
"Che Nolte" - "affordable, yet exquisite!"

What guy wants to meet a terrific girl, have her snuggle up next to him and ask "What's that I smell?," and have to answer, "Oh, that's the sent of Alan cumming?"

Glad to hear you don't support the Celine Dion Canadian Movement. Ugh, I can't stand her. And I was a little frightened by the Brittney Spears perfume link I saw, but Alan Cumming?? For real? That's hilarious. I'd at least SMELL that one.

Call me crazy, but if I wanted JLo's smell on me, I wouldn't want to get it from a bottle. I'd want the real thing.

It's incredibly annoying (and greedy) that it's not enough for these celebrities to be musicians and actors, but they also feel like they need to come out with their own fragrances and clothing lines. It's all about MORE MORE MORE!!! Securing their excessive financial status even more than it needs to be!
I'm sick of celebrites... That's why I watch reality TV. People make asses out of themselves and entertain for free.

But Samantha, dear, wouldn't YOU be willing to buy a shampoo entirely on Michael Jordan's say-so?
(tee hee)

One of these days, Francis, bang zoom, straight to the moon. Actually, I have a secret stash of Celine Dion *shudder* perfume - oh... oh... I just puked a little.
Dean - that's funny. I wonder why he didn't change his last name for showbiz, lol. He must have kept it with tongue in cheek.
I'm with Kelly that Cumming is probably the only scent of them all that I'd care to smell, although the name of it throws me off a little, lol.

I should think that injecting any kind of perfume straight into your system would put you in a grave situation, excuse the sh*tty wordplay.
