Abercrombie & Fitch sues Beyonce over “Fierce” fragrance deal

Abercrombie & Fitch sues Beyonce over “Fierce” fragrance deal

Apparently the recent news that Beyonce will be creating a fragrance line in a $20 million dollar deal is not happy news for all. Abercrombie & Fitch, the famed clothing line for frat boys across the country, announced that they are suing Beyonce because plans to release the fragrance line under her Sasha Fierce name will cause confusion with Abercrombie’s existing fragrance called “Fierce.” Billboard has the more professional verbiage:

In a federal lawsuit filed on Tuesday in Columbus, Ohio, Abercrombie claims a fragrance under the singer’s “Sasha Fierce” label “poses a likelihood of confusion” with the retailer’s own “Fierce” brand. It said such confusion could deprive it of control over a trademark it has used since 2002, and perhaps cost it sales. The lawsuit seeks to halt potential trademark infringement, unfair competition and deceptive trade practices.

Beyonce’s team, including Daddy Knowles, had no comment about the lawsuit. “Fierce” is a big part of Abercrombie’s tactics though as they even admit they spray all their clothes with it so people leave “smelling Fierce.” Lame. But maybe that’s better than leaving the store smelling like “Sasha Fierce.”

Beyonce signs perfume deal worth $20 million

Beyonce signs perfume deal worth $20 million

UPDATE: We just got word that Beyonce’s deal is worth an estimated $20 million over three years. That’s starting QB money right there….Or Yankee bench warmer money.

Beyonce was a spokesperson for Armani’s “Diamonds” fragrance but now she wants her own line. Well according to Women’s Wear Daily, B has just signed an exclusive fragrance deal with Paris company Coty. Coty is no slouch in the fragrance world as they launch everything from Calvin Klein to Adidas fragrances. No word yet on the name of Beyonce’s fragrance but she did have the following to say:

“For me, fragrance reflects a woman’s attitude and unique sense of style. While I love various perfumes, I haven’t found a scent that truly personifies me as a woman. Working with Coty, I was able to turn my ideal fragrance into a reality by creating an alluring and sophisticated fragrance; one that’s reflective of my inner power.”

How much you want to bet that this gets distributed in Macy’s?

Beyonce launches Sasha Fierce juniors clothing line

Beyonce x Sasha Fierce. Now it’s not just her alter-ego…it’s a freaking clothing line. Beyonce and Momma Knowles have recently announced the launch of the Sasha Fierce clothing line which will include sportswear, outerwear, handbags, footwear, eyewear, lingerie and jewelry and will be carried by department stores including Macy‚Äôs and Dillard‚Äôs. Lingerie for juniors? Hmmmm….is R. Kelly an investor in this?

All joking aside folks, Women’s Wear Daily claims the new line will be at price points between $25-$75 as the Knowles family hopes to attract younger teens to have them eventually buy House of Dereon in the future. Beyonce stated:

“The line really exudes a different side of my personality, which I am grateful that I can express.”

No official word yet when the Sasha Fierce line will hit stores. We just know it will be fierce (three snaps in Z formation!!!).

Beyonce pushing to star in “Sister Act” remake

According to Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper, Beyonce is itching to play the lead role of Sister Deloris Van Cartier (played by Whoopi Goldberg) in a remake of the now classic Sister Act. The 1992 hit movie has since moved on as a musical stage version currently set to hit New York’s Broadway in 2010. The paper reports:

“Beyonce has asked her representatives to persuade Disney to develop the show into a film vehicle for her. If this comes to pass, she would take on, in musical form, the part Whoopi Goldberg creates in the 1992 ‘Sister Act’ film, although the stage version moves the action from the West Coast to Philadelphia.”

The remake wouldn’t be scheduled until 2011. This could actually be a good move for Beyonce although Whoopi has one thing B has yet to develop….strong comedic timing. If anyone wants to argue with me on that then bring it. No…Obsessed was not a comedy. Via: DrewReports

Beyonce teams up with Hamburger Helper (no joke)

Beyonce x Hamburger Helper. Yes I know. A million jokes can be made out of this latest collaboration but since its to feed the homeless I’m going to lay off it. You can feel free to though in the comments section. Beyonce and General Mills, owner of Hamburger Helper, have officially launched their Feeding America charity campaign whith goal of delivering 3.5 million meals to local food banks. In an official statement Beyonce states:

“Through the work I do with my Survivor Foundation, I’ve been committed to helping families get back on their feet in difficult times,” said Beyonce. “That’s why I’m excited to get involved in this effort to help Feeding America deliver more than 3.5 million meals to local food banks. If we all show a helping hand, together we can make a difference in the fight against hunger.”

The charity tie-in is in conjunction with Beyonce’s “I AM…” tour. What? You thought she just wanted to feed millions of people Hamburger Helper for the fun of it? The current TV ad campaign featuring Beyonce is currently running and you can see it at the official website. No it doesn’t feature her talking to the Hamburger Hand. That would be too good to be true. Props to InMyStateofMind for the heads up.
