Talk about bringing trashy to another level. Wannabe country singer Jessica Simpson is a Texas girl through and through even if Dallas Cowboys fan would disagree. In addition to hawking Proactiv and hair extensions, having her own line of shoes and handbags, the blonde is also going to be a beer model. Jess has signed on as a spokeswoman for Stampede Light Plus. The beer bills itself as a beer for active people. Jess will appear in ads in stores for the beer and is taking a 15% stake in the brewer. She said in a statement that as a businesswoman she’s “always looking for ways to diversify my portfolio with good ideas and good people.”

While the tennis stars are working hard on the court in Beijing Olympics 2008, the No 6 female tennis player and the darling of many hearts, Maria Sharapova is busy in promoting the new Canon PowerShot Diamond Collection of cameras.
Despite her shoulder injury, which stopped her to participate in Olympics, she actively contributed in the show.
At least one thing has become clear that the diamonds are really a girl’s best friend. They have forced a star to pose with her shoulder injury still recovering or was it the money involved in the shoot?
Canon is giving away five diamond-studded PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital ELPH cameras on their website as a part of the promotion. Each one is encrusted with 88 white diamonds around its crust. These are valued at $12,000 each.
On the occasion, Sharapova expressed her passion for photography to the audience, saying that she is always the “dork” who takes pictures of everything.

Nick Jonas of the pop rock group the Jonas Brothers was looking dapper in a top hat as he rode a horse and carriage while filming a segment for the group’s 3D concert movie in New York City’s Columbus Circle last week. Things weren’t going as dapper for The Washington Post’s pop music critic J. Freedom du Lac as he was flamed by emails from readers who got angry at his characterization of Kevin saying “Nick Jonas (15; the cute one), Joe Jonas (nearly 19; the hot one) and Kevin Jonas (20; the other one).” He also adds that Kevin “has the misfortune — or, perhaps, the great fortune — of being in a band with two guys who tend to overshadow him.”
