I died of laughter when I heard Taylor Swift was on it, here's part of the article
Taylor Swift
Like many a singer, Taylor Swift has her own jeans range but we're far more intrigued by the Nashville star's announcement at the end of last year that she was launching a range of greeting cards. Why, you might ask? Because, as Taylor explained, "My idea of a great song is a song that says how I feel better than I could. I feel the same way about greeting cards." So there you have it, like Taylor Swift's songs the cards will succinctly express human emotions while also being flat, lightweight and easily disposable. Unfortunately for Taylor, at the launch of her company, Kanye West jumped on stage to announce that Moonpig had the best greeting cards of all time. Ah, it's the joke that keeps giving.
Mariah Carey
As we know from her recent slurred speech at the Palm Springs Film Festival, Mariah Carey is a strict teetotaller and never touches the demon drink. Oh no. Never. She has, however, bought a vineyard in California and is bringing out a pink champagne to be called Angel. She's managed some excellent product placement so far, sneaking bottles into videos by Fabolous and giving her husband a jewel encrusted magnum as a wedding anniversary gift. Coincidentally, Kerry Katona did something similar for Mark Croft using a packet of Iceland Sticky Chicken Skewers.
Beyoncé
Named after her grandmother, House of Deréon is a ready-to-wear clothing range launched by Beyoncé and her mom. Described as "where the sidewalk and catwalk meet" we think what this basically means is denim with fancy bits sewn on. The label caused a bit of a furore in 2008 when it ran advertisements showing girls as young as seven wearing makeup and high heels. Of course, if you see an outfit of Beyoncé's you want to buy, the sales assistant is obliged to sing "If you like it then I should just ring it up for you." In our head that joke was going to be far more successful than it actually was. We can only apologise.
P. Diddy
Presumably because no one would wear pants with the word Diddy printed on them, the man formerly known as Puff Daddy used his first and middle names to launch his Sean John clothing range in 1998. Cleverly getting fellow rappers like Nelly and T.I. to wear his brand meant the label quickly rose to an annual turnover of $100 million. Mr Combs was also quick to act when it was reported the clothes were made using sweatshop labour and when items claiming to be faux fur were actually found to be made of East Asian Racoon Dog. So that's why you don't see many of them down the park anymore.
Victoria Beckham
If it's skinny jeans you're after then they're not gonna come much skinnier than those designed by Victoria Beckham. Having briefly been the face of Jay-Z's Rocawear label (keep your cruel jokes to yourselves) she began designing a limited-edition range of bum-huggers with Rock & Republic, selling for a whopping $300 a pair. She's since branched out on her own with the dvb Style line and has taken fashion far more seriously than she ever took singing, winning prestigious awards and rave reviews for the collection she unveiled at the 2008 New York Fashion Week. And her and David's perfume range has been predicted to earn over $100 million. Well, they could do with the money; tattoos and daft haircuts don't grow on trees.
Bono
When he's not saving the world, St Bono is the co-founder of Elevation Partners. Founded in 2005, the $1.9 billion investment company is primarily aimed at the gaming and entertainment industry, but with fingers in real estate, too. As well as Elevation (that would make a good title for a song), Mr Vox also founded EDUN, a fair-trade company selling clothing made in developing countries. In his spare time he likes to sing in a rock group and bother popes.
