Beyonce Knowles has a fierce court battle brewing with Abercrombie & Fitch -- because the clothing company claims something seriously stinks about her soon-to-be released fragrance line.
A&F just filed a federal lawsuit against Beyonce, claiming her upcoming line of products called "Sasha Fierce" -- which includes a fragrance -- is a knock-off of their own line of smelly good liquid which is simply named "Fierce."
In the suit, which was filed in Ohio, Fitch claims they sent Beyonce a cease and desist letter in 2008 when she started applying for "Sasha Fierce" trademarks.
The suit says Bey's peeps rejected the demand by saying the general public would have no problem telling the difference between the two companies' products.
A&F is suing to stop Bey from putting out the perfume under the "S.F." name -- or doing anything that would "confuse, mislead, or deceive others" into believing her line of products has anything to do with theirs. UPDATE: 6:14 PM PT Beyonce's rep, Alan Nierob, just issued the following statement: "There is no fragrance line directly or indirectly associated with Beyonce that has the name 'Sasha Fierce' or anything using the word 'Fierce.'"
Coty also issued this statement: "Coty is excited about its newly announced partnership with Beyonce Knowles. Details related to the fragrance, including the official name, will be revealed prior to the launch in early 2010. We can confirm at this time, however, that the terms Fierce and Sasha Fierce are not being used as names of a Beyonce fragrance."
Mimoo was in NYC yesterday, hawking herself at a really steep price -- actually, she was busting out her new perfume, called "M." Mmmmm delicious! As always, Carey was dressed for the (daytime) occasion, which can be easily confused with her night on the town look, which looks a lot like her album selling look -- which is almost identical to her shooting a video look. She's a girl with a lot of looks that look alike! Now they smell too!
Attention excitement-challenged fellas, if Viagra just won't do the trick, then Vulva Original vaginal scent is the product for you! Eau de Twatlette! While the, er, hair-raising product is not a perfume for the va-jay-jay, it is an erotic fragrance made to trigger sexual attraction and desire by mimicking the tangy aroma of lady muffin! Chanel No. 69!
According to the makers, you should not swallow Vulva, ingest Vulva or allow Vulva to have contact with your eyes. But isn't that why you'd buy it?
National monument Eartha Kitt, 80, stopped by Diddy's new "Unforgivable Woman" perfume launch party last night in Manhattan -- and was clearly the coolest Catwoman there. She even sang a Kitty ditty as she stepped from her car!
Kitt joined a litter of celebs including Beyonce and Aretha Franklin -- and was as outspoken as ever. Forty years ago, Eartha made waves when she spoke out against the Vietnam war -- while at the White House.
Now, it's meow time as she analyzes what might go on in the mind of O.J. Simpson.
Covet may be the name of her new perfume, but all Sarah Jessica Parker wants is Dog hair! Arf! The 42-year-old "Sex and the City" star turned up at the launch of her new fragrance in New York, tressed-out in Duane "Dog" Chapman's white man's mullet! For the love of Carrie Bradshaw!
The Dog, 53, also happened to be in the Big Apple yesterday -- shilling his new book, "You Can Run But You Can't Hide." After this latest hairtastrophe, SJP may want to give her hair stylist the same advice!
Miss Mariah has herself flopping around the web in a photoshopped pic showing the singer with her new fragrance, and Elizabeth Arden wants you to know -- that's not right!
An Arden spokesperson released this statement: "An image of Mariah Carey with her fragrance bottle photoshopped in the corner is being featured on several blogs today, and is categorically not the advertisement for her new fragrance, nor is it even remotely close. The real ad for M by Mariah Carey will debut exclusively on TMZ during the second week of August."
Britney Spears showed off her stellar reading skills at a party earlier this week for her new fragrance line.
The mom-to-be appeared to be reading lines directly from cue cards at an appearance to promote her perfumes, Curious, Fantasy and her latest, In Control.
Students from Spears' former dance school helped her celebrate the evening.
