Smells Like…
Filed under: Beauty Buzz
There is no such thing as "selling out" anymore.
Erykah Badu is the latest celebrity to cash in on her fame and become a spokeswhore for a beauty brand.
The neo-soul singer has been named the face of Tom Ford's new fragrance, still unnamed.
Will it smell like incense and weed????

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT????????????????????
She is odd.
It will smell like CACA!
smells like her soul ,something you don't know perez.GO BADU
She is a Godess!
…it smells of stank cooch
sorry but I have never understood why people liked her in the first place. I can't stand her music and always thought she was weird.
BARACK AND NOW ERYKAH……PEREZ PLEASE STOP THE HATING I AM SO DONE WITH YOU
Erykah Badu is an amazing artist whose music has inspired many, including me.
Perez is a fat zitty loser who likes cheesy pop like the spice girls, and randomly throws insults out to serious artists.
Perez has probably never even listened to Erykah Badu.
Plus, Perez hates all women except fag hags. Have you noticed that he randomly criticizes all moderately succesful young actresses and female musicians?
Perez is like the loser kid lashing out at the really cool people.
Erykah Badu is so much cooler than Perez can ever dream of being.
Prefaced with, "She is FINE"… so beautiful and talented.
Anyway, just in case you thought otherwise - it's a wig. Check the scene on Dave Chappelle's "Block Party" movie when she gets on stage and the wind blows it off.
she is REALLY beautiful!
So it's ok for a spokeswhore like Paris Hilton but not a black woman to front a product? I for one would love a perfume that smelled like an mixture of weed and incense (actually I'd prefer a mix of weed and orange blossoms), not the evil-smelling stuff that most celebs peddle. Lord, what a hater you are, Perez. You need a shrink, dude.
Not impressed Perez, I always liked you but why would you think her fragrance would smell of weed??? bit of a racist comment if you ask me!!!
LOVE her!
HONEY…. IT TASTE SO SWEET… HONEEEEEEEEYY
DONT BE HATIN ON MY GIRL SHE IS CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG THEM DOWN…
And the fragrance will be called CLOCKWORK ORANGE.
Well, we know it won't smell like Jheri curl!..lol
nah it will smell like racism, the racisit bitch
Fragrance? This chick drinks her own piss that's what I heard.
hahaha and methamphetamines! That girl is a junkie!!!
why is she yellow?
you are the last person to poo-poo about selling out my little political flip flopper!
She is beautiful.
Re: lex –
are you for real? Erykah is the only flower child left!
LOL Selling out… Perez says how he just has no interest in American Idol, and yet there he is promoting all over his site advertising space.. HYPOCRACY - google it Perez, you may see your picture there
U r the stupidest guy in whole US gay community… And NY is saying u NO after this Badu story. U r fuck@d!
She should be a "spokeswhore". Her face/eyes/skin/lips are beautiful and quite "sellable"/ appealing. REALLLLLY pretty face.
She's damn fugly. Sorry, couldn't they find a better spokesmodel than that??? It must be one heck of a hideous fragrance to use her for the campaign!
I love this women
Shut the fuck up Perez you fat bitch. Tom Ford isn't calling you, is he? Even if Target approached you for a new fragrance, what do you think it would smell like? Smashed anus and mojitos? Aged corporate semen and pink hair rinse? Fuck off, we all know how much you hate blacks. Erykah is very talented, more than just insence and weed. Go pick one of her CDs, you scrotum-muncher.
Seriously, sometimes you take this shit to far.
No such thing as selling out and even the tranniest-looking street ho is beautiful.
neither, more like coco butter!!
Smells like fuckin racism to me… I love Erykah everybody get her new album New Amerikah it's gonna be dope. Erykah Badu is one of the dopest R&B singers in the game.
Watch out Perez! Badu's entire career has been full of integrity. She's a consummate artist who's always done things on her own terms. Making a good business decision does not equal selling out. Considering the fact that it's Tom bloody Ford, I'd say it's a smart decision.
She is beautiful! I'd do bong hits with her anytime!
Perez now i love you so i'm not hating, but if someone asked you to be a spokesperson now I KNOW you would sign the dotted line. Erykah is one of the realest people out there, but the girls got to pay bills & feed her kids. Cut her some slack. You don't talk about Eva being a sellout when she does Loreal and her other endorsements, play fair honey.
You're a racist perez in the worst way….
Who are you calling a sellout, you whore yourself all over town(look it's me and Mary J) Erykah is STUNNING, sultry and totallyunique! She has never been cheesy, save your hate Perez!!
Ewww.. fuckin nappy headed HO!
perez, she's getting paid, not gettin paid…save the hate!! viva la badu!!
It'll smell like Afro-sheen.
A rep for a beauty product?
I can't imagine.
Maybe hair care?
She's a woofer.
Who ever she is:
When you put on make-up, don't draw lines with it, apply it.
.
She's needs make-up and a make-up artist.
Why is it RACIST to call her out for smoking pot, but it's ok to call out mischa or matthew or any other white person???
Stop looking for racism where there isn't any.
Re: Forest – Amen… agreed!
It'll probably smell like bag ladies.
To #34: I think that you are confusing her with Lauryn Hill.
Too bad there's no Perez fragrance. Macitas de Puerco Fritas with subtle overtones of shit on the treadmill
i smell curl relaxer but not on the hair
American Cream?
perez u stupid.LOLOLOLOLOLOL……….perfume smelling like weed.LOLOLOL. ur crazy
I LUVE E. BADU……………BUT TODAY IS A SPECIAL DAY….FIDEL CASTRO STEPPED DOWN FROM OFFICE…………THNAK GOD. MY FAMILY LEFT THERE IN 1962, AND BEEN DYIN TO SEE THIS MAN GET THE FUCK OUT EVERSINCE.FINALLY!
It will smell like a mix of chitlins,fried chicken, watermelon with a Thunderbird and afrosheen glaze and hint of crack! Where's my general lee?
incense and weed!!!! Hahahahahaha your fucking hilarious Perez!
I love her! She has an awesome voice, cool vibe, and she's beautiful.
I sure to do hope it smells of incense &/or weed, Perez.
And your little trip to the UK was totally paid for out of your pocket, Mario? I seriously doubt it. You're already accepting "promotional consideration," as in Free Clothes. You've got that horrible tv show you keep mentioning and a line of crappy merchandise. Watch who you call a sell-out.
OMG do people forget things so easy? SHE said if she knew white people were going to listen to her music she wouldnt have made any songs!!!!
It will smell like patchouli, popcorn shrimp and ASS!
It'll smell like unbathed cooch and underarms.
@ sherry
Erykah Badu did not say that…Lauren Hill did. I see you don't listen or pay the slightest attention to black artists so I'll stop right here. You probably wouldn't get it anyway.
I hope sooooo. yum..
I hope sooooo. yum..and to the people who say that perez's comment is racist, grow up. not everything is about race.
Erykah Badu what a trip, she does this soul earth mother act where she talks about woman's vagina (in a poetic way while making hand gestures that are reminiscent of the vagina or womb). Real earth mom woman power, black power. Africa roots stuff. It was kind of corny. She was an opening act for Dave Matthews. I like some of her singing, but we get it YOU ARE BLACK, PROUD AND HAVE A BIG FRO.
god she fug. and she loooook like oldddddd
Re: Sharde – Well said
What absolutely ridiculous hair.
Wow, Tom Ford is casting someone other than white people in his beauty line? About time!
Incense and weed? That was rude as hell, Perez! Mind yourself.
BARACK OBAMA AND HILLARY CLINTON SUCK.
FUCK DEMOCRAPS, WHO THE HELL WANTS MORE GOVERNMENT INTRUSION INTO THEIR LIVES. WE HAVE ENOUGH AS IT IS.
VOTE REPUBLICAN.
VOTE JOHN McCAIN — A WAR HERO WHO HAS BATTLED SKIN CANCER TWICE AND SUFFERED BEING A PRISON OF WAR. HE IS AN AMERICAN HERO.
WHAT THE HELL HAS BILLARY CLINTON OR OBAMA DONE?
OBAMA HAS ZERO POLITICAL EXPERIENCE.
Perez, I love you to death but this time you're wrong wrong wrong! Tom Ford is THE chicest male on the planet! He singlehandedly brought Gucci back from the dead! ANYONE would KILL to be the face of ANYTHING Tom Ford does! ANYONE, chile! Are you craaaaaaaaaaazaaaaaaaay?!?
FINALLY! Badu is the shizzee and I can't wait for the new album to drop!!! She's one of the coolest women in entertainment - a true talent and a kick ass diva. AS IF she doesn't deserve her beauty and talent acknowledged by the fashion industry. About time someone other than the blonde dumb ass twinks you drool over gets some props.
WTF is your damn problem?! Why are you hating on Badu? She is talented and real, oh wait, i see why, you are neither of those things.
Go get on Jenny craig.
At least she doesn't go around half naked shaking her ass on stage like all the rest of them no-talented skanks whose career will be over by the time they reach 30.
most amazing artist ever, do NOT talk shit about the badu.
mmmmmmmmmmmm incense and weed - sign me up!
She has beautiful skin. I'm not sure I'm interested in a perfume by her, but we'll see. I'm willing to bet patchouli will be involved, maybe African violets?
Re: Jessica – You're on the wrong blog, this is not Hot Air or Town Hall.
Badu has talent, she's pretty, hair is ridiculous but she rocks the 70's fro. I don't care as long as shes not sitting in front of me at the movie. She's an entertainer. If she makes money selling her name, good. She's "Afro centric" and appeals to a demographic that buys the shit. "rachel" chill bitch
hmmm.. perez .. im guessing it will smell like incense and crack.. ew lol she reminds me of that disgusting macy gray EW EW EW i think i just threw up in my mouth a little
LOVE U PEREZ!!
Negroes: The un-people.
shes sick
wow, "will it smell like incense and weed." Love the coded racism Perez. No matter how much of a tinkerbell you are, you still got the mindset of your great grandfather! A racist fudgepacker. How cute!
Erykah is not exactly a beauty. Don't understand why she is the spokesmodel for a beauty brand unless they only had a dozen or so made and didn't have a lot to sell, so they didn't want a rush on the item
Shut the fuck up perez! I love badu! You are a sell out!
I hate that term "selling out" Its like people arent aloud to conduct business for themselves. What is everyone except you supposed to be a starving artist. I think the only way for musicians to keep themselves in the minds of people is to do advertising, in a creative way.
I think she is so beautiful!
She's releasing an album of course she's going more public…
And unlike tons of talentless whores, she's releasing an awesome single "Honey", why don't ppl focus more on that?!!! sick world…
wow never thought ford would pick her, but badu is cool. good for her.
she looks gorgeous - leave her alone!
Perez, you know I love you, but your take on this is bullshizz! Erykah has amazng talent and she's has worked extremely hard for everything she's gotten from the music industry, and I'm thrilled that she's landed this gig with Tom Ford. She's a beautiful woman and I think she should do more to get herself (and her scorching talent) into the public eye.
ERYKAH OWNS…and this is my last visit to your site
