• Nail polish powerhouse OPI has tapped Mariah Carey for two lacquer collaborations! The singer’s first 8 shade range is due out in January, while the second will release later in 2013. Carey is the perfect celeb to rep a polish collection. Can you imagine the delightfully bright and girly shades she’ll serve? Maybe we’ll get a sparkly topcoat with butterfly shaped glitter? (Fashion Etc.)
• OPI is also set to release its first 18-karat gold flake topcoat, “The Man with the Golden Gun,” to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the James Bond movies. Be prepared to shell out $30 for a bottle of the stuff. Would you buy it? (Fashion & Style)
• Well, whaddaya know, Jay-Z and Beyoncé top Forbes magazine’s list of highest paid celebrity couples, together making about $78 million bucks per annum. (Forbes)
• Marchesa is the latest brand to release a signature fragrance. The scent will make its US debut come September. (Telegraph)
• Chanel is also launching a new fragrance, Coco Noir. (Grazia)
• Rihanna better start behaving herself now that she’s inked a three-year deal to be “the face” of her home country. The Barbados government has dubbed Riri an official ambassador of the island, in hopes that her international popularity might boost tourism. Ms. Fenty’s badgyal antics have recently caused Nivea to sever ties with the pop singer. Perhaps she should tread lightly now that she’s repping the interests of Barbados. A tourism campaign featuring Rihanna is supposed to launch in September. (Vogue UK)
• In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek of Riri’s interview with Oprah. And yes, as she is wont to do, Ms. Winfrey did make our Robyn cry. Can’t wait to see the whole interview! (OWN Youtube)
• Ooh, the Spice Girls were spotted rehearsing their Olympics closing ceremonies number! (Telegraph)

Well let’s see.
Mariah Carey…nail polish line…I can’t see it, but hey get your money girl.
Forgive me, but I haven’t exactly smelled any of Marchesa’s perfume but the bottle is super cute.
The spice girls performing. Bless their hearts. I won’t comment any further on that one…. and finally…Jay-Z and King Bey showing the world their status at the bank(in my NeNe Leakes voice). Message to Kanye: This is the type of women you want. Someone who can upgrade you and compliment you with their talent which will in turn, make dollars. (drop mic)**

I can’t wait for this polish to come out. Yes I will pay $30 for it.
The pic of Bey and Jay…I know this is how he grabs her face when she has her blond moments…But with a firmer grip.

Regarding the Oprah interview, this seems like one of her most honest and genuine interviews yet. The others with Bobby Christina & KK did nothing really for me. I will be watching.

I’ll be watching. This seems like one of Oprah’s more honest interviews as of late, compared to say KK and Bobby Kristina. Neither of those interviews really did anything for me in regards to seeing who they really are. I hope this Rihanna interview sheds some light as to why she can appear to be such a “badass” as Oprah put it. I want to like her, and of course her fashion is on point, but some of her antics are to be desired.

The 24-K OPI is cute and the bottle is cuter, but you can get gold speckles at Micheal;s for way less than 30 bucks! I’m definitely interested in seeing the Oprah Rihanna interview.
