Sharon Stone Sparkles for New Italian Job
Sharon Stone seems to have put that China problem behind her.
The actress has grabbed herself a new gig as the face of Italian jewelry house Damiani, sources exclusively tell me.
The international print campaign for the firm’s Musts and Masterpieces collection, shot on March 10, features Stone fashioned as iconic women, including Amelia Earhart and Eve (as in Adam and Eve!). “She looks gorgeous,” a source says.
The jewelry company’s Silvia Damiani will announce the new partnership with Stone by her side during a press conference tonight in Beverly Hills.
This will be Stone’s first public appearance since getting into hot water for telling reporters last month she thought “karma” may have played a part in the recent earthquake in China because of how the country’s government treats Tibetans. Although she quickly apologized, her Christian Dior beauty ads were pulled in China.
Stone joins a long list of major celebs who have worked with Damiani, including Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow, Milla Jovovich, Isabella Rossellini and Sophia Loren.
Anne Hathaway’s Set To Peddle Fragrance
Anne Hathaway’s Set To Peddle Fragrance
Joining Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, and Paris Hilton in the world of celebrity fragrance endorsement, Anne Hathaway has reportedly signed on to promote a new fragrance from Lancome.
The “Princess Diaries” actress, 25, is in good company, too. Lancome has worked with the likes of Isabella Rossellini and Drew Barrymore in the past, with great success.
And the luxury cosmetics giant is thrilled to have Hathaway on board for their new product. President Odile Roujol told press, “Anne Hathaway is a radiant young woman who perfectly embodies modern femininity. We know she will portray all the passion and excitement of our new fragrance.”
But she’s not all about work all the time. The “Devil Wears Prada” actress was spotted out to dinner last night at the Waverly Inn with her boyfriend Raffaello Follieri, looking very much in love. So when are these two going to take it up a notch?
Catherine Bell Biography
A beguiling dark-eyed beauty with a statuesque figure, Catherine Bell rose to prominance on the military-themed television series “JAG” (1995 -2005) as Maj. Sarah “Mac” MacKenzie. Born in London, Bell emigrated to California with her Iranian mother at the age of two and began acting and modeling as a child. After a stint as a fashion model in Japan, Bell first got a foothold in Hollywood as a body double, performing a nude scene for Isabella Rossellini in director Robert Zemeckis’ “Death Becomes Her” (1992). Small roles in TV movies, C-level action flicks, sydicated fare including “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys” and racy TV series such as HBO’s risque comedy “Dream On” and the erotic cable anthology “Hot Line”–which made great advantage of her enviable physique–followed.
She made her “JAG” debut on an 1996 episode as Lt. Diane Schonke, the love interest of lead character Harm (David James Elliott). After return engagements her character was tragically killed off, but Bell learned that “JAG” producer Don Bellasario was looking for a new regular female lead for the series and wrote Bellasario a letter, suggesting that it would be intirguing if the new character were the spitting image of Harm’s lost love. Bellasario agreed and Bell joined the cast as a new character, Maj. Sarah “Mac” MacKenzie when the show switched networks from NBC to CBS in 1997. She parlayed her visibility and the show’s mainstream popularity–especially with military supporters–into several magazine covers and roles in telepics, ultimately landing a high-profile movie role as the object of Jim Carrey’s lust in the comedy “Bruce Almighty” (2003). When her co-star Elliott announced his attention to leave the show following its tenth season in 2004-2005, producers initially planned to reshape the series around Bell, but the network ultimately pulled the plug on the show.
