Smells Like….Money!

Filed under: Halle Berry

halleberry.jpg

We're surprised it took her this long!

It was announced Thursday that Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry is partnering with cosmetics giant Coty. She's set to develop a fragrance and appear in its advertising campaign.

Berry's line will launch in Spring 2009.

She should have her babydaddy, model Gabriel Aubry, develop a men's fragrance too!

The mom-to-be's line will be available in "mid-tier" department stores, like J.C. Penney, and then will move into the mass market…like Wal-Mart.

A Coty exec said they're "committed to bringing luxury to the mass market".

According to the source, such celebrity deals include $3 million to $5 million up front, with a royalty of about 5 percent.

Coty declined to discuss the terms of Berry's deal.

If we were getting paid that kind of money, they could sell it wherever.

Perez: The Fragarance, available now at Taco Bell!

    JCPenney does not sell cosmetics…only thru their newly aquired Sephora in store shops only in larger stores…so unless Sephora is offering it, J C Penney will not be selling this cosmetic line.

    What is with all of these stars partnering with Coty? Every one of the scents stink like the Avon perfume I wore when I was 12. I have to wear an oxygen mask to pick up groceries in wal-mart because of all the people spraying the wicked crap. Save up and by a real bottle of parfum!

    She can call it "Hit and Run"
    I'll never respect or watch her after that car accident, I think she's a sneak.
    I wonder how she'd feel if someone did that to one of her family members.
    (yeah, she couldn't remember! but she knew how to get home)
    She's a loser.

    I'm sick of hearing about another celebrity clothing and/or cosmetics line. Enough already, try to find something new and different to put your name behind. This market is overcrowded and boring with overpaid celebrities with even more dollar signs in their eyes.
