Personally I have never liked nor have been drawn to "celebrity" products.....I think basically a celebrity lends their name to a line with little or no input to the product itself......just a way to make a quick buck (I think Joan Rivers was the exception she really knew the design and lines of her clothing and she specifically told the audience what her input was on the designing of her clothes/jewelry etc...) So basically I don't give a darn on what Evine does to make it easier for their "celebrity vendors" to travel to their studios...................If Evine puts a priority and a ton of money on celebrity endorsements thinking it will help their business, they must really be hard up!....Interesting!
That's not always the case, but it is most of the time. Serena Williams doesn't lend her name for anything. She did in fact study the trade. I can't think of any others (oops Melissa McCarthy too).
There are soooo many though. Some who pair up with cosmetic companies and more.
Sarah Jessica Parker and her shoes (you will never see them on a shopping channel)
Stella McCartney for Adidas (and her expensive fake leather handbags won't be on any shopping network)
Kylie and Kendall shoes (you might not ever see on a shopping channel.
Paris Hilton
NeNe Leakes
Wendy Williams
Sean John (P Diddy) you won't see on a shopping channel
Guliana Rancic
Vaness Williams
Holly Robinson Pete
Carson by Carson Kressley
Fergie's Fergalicious
Juliana Hough
Michael Buble
Lisa Rinna
Baby Phat (Russel Simmons ~ now defunct) but it had a nice long run
Jennifer Lopez at Kohl's
Jennifer Hudson for New York and Company
Eva Mendez for New York and Company
Carlos by Carlos Santana
Nick Veroses
Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. (you will not see on a shopping channel)
Victoria Beckham (you will not see on a shopping channel)
Jay Z (Rockefella) ~ defunct
Beyonce ~ Blue Ivy selling on Nordies (you will not see this on a shopping channel)
Khloe Kardashian Jeans "The Good American" slated for Nordstroms in one week (you will not see on a shopping channel
Another exception to this is Jessica Simpson (we all know she didn't go to any design school but she's doing well under the Vince Camuto umbrella.

Yes a lot of celebrities put their name on products it doesn't matter whether they show it on a shopping channel or not---Yes some may be very particular on which products and the manufacturer who uses their name but who is the actual hands on designer/developer......do the celebrities you mention just turn the whole kit and kaboodle to someone else to handle product development....that's the question here??? Serena may be an exception like Joan and really involved in the designers....but I've seen too many of these "celebrities" talk about their "design team" that came up with their products.......Recently one that was hawking her perfume on a talk show.....even said "they came up with this wonderful fragrance for me".......apparently she did not even suggest what type of scent she wanted in her perfume so they just came up with it and slapped her name on it! .........That's like Michael Jordan sneakers....he just gave his name to Nike to put on one of their sneakers and they charge big bucks to use his name....That's what I'm saying, and that's why celebrity endorsements mean nothig to me
If you enjoy the celebrity products more power to you, but I'm just not into today's celebrity scene......and I won't buy anything just because the manufacturer slappped someone's name on something.....To me today's so called celebrities aren't like those in the past that were really glamorous, designed their own clothes and set the fashion trends....today's "celebrities" are more involved in reality shows and doing those types of shows emphasizes and tells me they will do anything for a buck.....
