While those are all well and good, it made me wish certain other celebrities also had signature scents.



Daria: The Fragrance
Smells Like: Exasperation, coffee, notebook paper, pizza, slightly bitter notes tempered with occasional bits of warmth
Bottle Style: A herd of beautiful wild ponies running free across the plains. Well, either that or the creepy eye-spiral from "Sick Sad World."
Cost: Your soul, you sell-out. The world needs another celebrity fragrance like it needs another member of the Fashion Club.
Tagline: "Everything Stinks, And Now So Can You."


Tim Gunn: Make It Work
Smells Like: Clean, crisp notes, calming essences for times of crisis, hints of the Red Lobster to evoke happy memories of the past, done with impeccable taste, of course.
Bottle Style: Gunn, who holds a BFA in sculpture, could certainly come up with a creative bottle design.
Cost: Relatively affordable: Gunn has said in the past that "you don't have to spend a lot of money for fashion!"
Tagline: "Carry On!"


Eau De Joan
Smells Like: Cigarette smoke, vodka gimlets, broken hearts, warm, rich, mysterious notes: the kind strong enough to cover up a woman's secrets.
Bottle Style: Curvy and red.
Cost: Affordable enough to be purchased on a secretary's salary in 1963.
Tagline: Peggy Olson is working on it right now; we'll let you know.


Amy & Tina: Smells Belles
Smells Like: Hilarity, hints of lemon, multi-layered scents that adapt to the wearer's mood as a tribute to Fey and Poehler's ability to quickly move in and out of character, junk food, good times.
Bottle Style: Something both glamorous and funny.
Cost: Something you can earn with a lot of hard work, talent, and late nights at the office.
Tagline: "For Good Nights And Pleasant Tomorrows" or "Yeah, We Have A Scent...Jealous?!?"


Golden Girls: Stay Gold
Smells Like: Miami beaches, influences from Southern, Sicilian, and Norwegian-by-way-of-St. Olaf culture, friendship, romance, Zbornak-inspired bitterness, and, of course, cheesecake.
Bottle Style: Gold and sassy.
Cost: Let's just say that if you threw a party, and invited everyone you knew, someone would be able to afford it. Look for the biggest gift.
Tagline: "Thank You For Buying Our Scent."

<![CDATA[Finally: Daria To Be Released On DVD]]> It's taken MTV eight years, but Daria is finally going to be released on DVD in 2010. We can all let out a collective, monotone "Yay." To celebrate, we've compiled some of our favorite moments of the apathetic teen antihero.



TV Shows on DVD reports that review copies of MTV's '90s cult sketch comedy show The State (which will be released July 14) opens with the following screen:



No other info about the release is known at this time. Fans — nostalgic for Daria's particular brand of unemotional teen angst, lack of enthusiasm for volleyball, self-deprecating sense of humor, and '90s rock transitions — have been eagerly awaiting the DVD release of the show since it went off the air in 2002.

'Daria' Coming To DVD?

<![CDATA[Trouble For Justin And Jessica, Debbie Rowe Sends Mixed Signals Over Custody Battle]]>

  • Are Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake on the rocks? "Things don't look good for them right now - they've hit a really rocky spot," says a source. The couple have been dating for two years. [NYDN]
  • "Justin had to leave dinner once because Jessica was calling him incessantly. They got into a huge screaming match over the phone about how she's always ‘checking up' on him. She's extremely needy and is always keeping tabs on him," says a source, "All his friends think she's really annoying," added the source. "She's always trying to be one of the guys. She and Justin have no chemistry. Justin is partying in London right now. Jessica wanted to go with him, but he wasn't having it. He just wanted to get away with the guys. He needed his space from her." [NYDN]
  • Contrary to earlier reports which claimed that Debbie Rowe was seeking custody of her biological children with Michael Jackson, her attorney says that Rowe "has not reached a final decision concerning the custody proceedings." [USWeekly]
  • "It would be a distortion of the truth to allow that single snapshot of a single conversation, to stand as the truth on Debbie's position on this sensitive matter," says Rowe's attorney, Eric M. George. Rowe was recently quoted stating that she wanted her children, as well as a restraining order to keep them away from Jackson's father, Joe. [USWeekly]
  • Meanwhile, Jackson family members are "terrified" that Blanket's (Jackson's third child who currently has no mother listed on his birth certificate) biological mother may come forward: "Any woman who gave birth to a child on Blanket's birth date and then gave him up for adoption could claim they are the mother and get a DNA test to prove it," says a source. [PageSix]
  • Is Daria really coming to DVD next year?!? [ONTD]
  • Sandra Bullocksays she wasn't nervous about her nude scene with Ryan Reynolds because she knew all eyes would be on Ryan: "So that means no one watched me and no one can criticize me. Watch it again, your eyes go to Ryan. You see, if Ryan got naked now and I got naked now I guarantee you unconsciously people would [look at him] and go ‘oh my God, she's naked too but oh my God'."[ShowbizSpy]
  • Lindsay Lohan celebrated her 23rd birthday yesterday with a lunch date with Samantha Ronson. [DailyMail.]
  • Johnny Depp says he believes in love at first sight: "I was standing in a hotel in Paris and I saw this back. Literally a back and a neck. And it turned around and looked at me and I was done. That was Vanessa. So two kiddies and 11 years later, I completely understand." [Mirror]
  • Depp also recently took time out from his Public Enemies promotional tour to visit sick children at Great Ormond Street hospital—dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow, of course. "Johnny was so friendly with all the children on the ward and they absolutely loved his pirate outfit.," says a source, "He spoke to lots of the youngsters and staff - and made their day by posing for pictures with them all." [DailyExpress]
  • Amy Winehouse has been banned from swimming at her St. Lucia resort due to staff concerns: ""Staff have found Amy on a number of occasions collapsed on the grass by the pool after going for a swim," says a source, "There are concerns that one night she won't be able to get out of the water and something tragic will happen." [ShowbizSpy]
  • Whoops! Rhianna was caught on tape tattooing umbrellas onto three artists at East Side Ink—and she doesn't have a license, which means she could be facing three misdemeanor charges. [TMZ]
  • Blind Item: "Which Oscar winner almost ruined a recent date? The starlet had so much to drink, she spent the night getting sick in the bathroom." [BlindGossip]
  • Rupert Grint on his kissing scenes with Emma Watson: "I'll be honest with you: it's not something I'd say I'm dreading. Emma's a pretty girl. Have Daniel or I ever hit on Emma? Well, she's quite popular with the cast. As for who has the worst crush on her – me or Radcliffe – I'd rather not say." [Telegraph]

<![CDATA[Daria Takes Aim At Jane Magazine]]> It sucks big time that Daria isn't available on DVD (only the two made-for-TV movies are). Apparently, it has something to do with music licensing problems. But there are some bootleg torrents available online, and we recently watched some episodes from the third season. One that totally escaped us at the time (we don't know how) is the episode based on Jane magazine, fictionalized as Val. Editor-in-chief Val visits Lawndale and goes undercover as a student to follow Daria around for the day for an expose she was working on about "cool, smart" teens. Jane Pratt must've rubbed some people at MTV the wrong way at some point because the thinly veiled portrayal—with constant references to Val's friend Drew—is kinda vicious. Clip above.
