Endorse Me
Celebrity endorsements, whilst often amusing, should at least try and stick to their relative areas of expertise. Patricia Field’s foray into designer Diet Coke bottles left us feeling flat, but her much anticipated range of clothing for M&S is sending fashionable SATC fans into pre-spending spasms.
Sadly those pesky celebs can’t seem to keep their fingers out of the endorsement pies, not to mention the latest fad for actually creating their own brands. Dr. Dre is launching his cognac ‘Aftermath’ later this year alongside his forthcoming album, ‘Detox’, both Cavalli and Trump have their own vodkas, whilst Marilyn Manson clearly loves his Mansinthe.
Now, Emmerdale starlet, Adele Silva, wants us to believe she’s learnt all about wine with her limited edition range for Stowells. Personally, I might plump for some ‘Coke Zero Zero Seven’ instead: if Bond’s going teetotal (and sugar-free), it can’t be wrong. Soap star wine at £4.46 however? I might pass.
