Because we want what they got—Sellebrity, bringing you the latest shoes, handbags, apparel, perfume, etc, etc, famous faces are selling and we're shelling out for.

1) LL Cool J: Apparently, Sears is banking on the fact that (young) ladies do, in fact, love Cool James. Per Women's Wear Daily, the LL Cool J for Sears collection for juniors will hit 900 stores in September and "could generate as much as $100 million to $150 million in its first year." Ranging from $22 for a tee to $50 for a pair of jeans "Evidence of LL Cool J's involvement is evident throughout — from an embroidered tattoo on the back of a jacket to song lyrics printed on a T-shirt." On a side note, have you ever noticed it's hard to find an LL pic with his shirt on? [WWD, subscription req]

2) Maria Sharapova: The blonde tennis star will be sporting Tiffany & Co. earrings after inking a deal with the high-end retailer. Per Nitrolicious, over the next two years, Sharapova will wear eight different pairs over the next eight Grand Slam events. "The first to be seen will be at the French Open on March 25th to June 8th, she will wear a pair of $1,150 yellow gold Elsa Peretti Wave earrings," which will then be avail in-store. Tiffany has also fastened her Nike "Paris Dress" with a pearl at the back. [Nitrolicious]

3) Chloë Sevigny: The actress is taking a second turn as designer for Opening Ceremony. Per Brandish: "Word on the street is that the Big Love actress is planning on collaborating with the US label again on a range for guys, that will also be available in girl versions." Unisexy. [Brandish]

4) Mischa Barton: Kinda surprised Barton didn't strike while her iron was really hot, but maybe this is just the think to raise the heat. Per Frillr: the starlet "...is launching a collection of handbags in London...inspired by vintage treasures Mischa came across on her travels around the world... The new collection of 30 handbag designs will be sold in John Lewis, Debenhams and Fenwicks as well as select boutiques in the UK." [Frillr]

5) Gwyneth Paltrow: We think there may be Gwyneth robots dispatched globally to get the actress back on the scene because—wow!— is she (and her short dresses and gladiator heels) everywhere these days. Per Fashionista: "Right on the heels of everyone obsessing over her 4-minute film for Tod's, we find out that Gwyneth is the new official face of the Italian brand," after Sienna Miller. [Fashionista]

6) Patricia Field: Sex in the City is taking over the world. Per My Fashion Life: "Marks & Spencer will be joining other high-street collaborators this October, when Sex and the City super stylist, Patricia Field, designs a 35-piece clothing and accessory range inspired by the sexy style of New York City." Most importantly for us: "This highly anticipated collection will not only be sold in their UK stores, but will also be available to purchase online and in a few international markets, which is a first for the fashion giant." [My Fashion Life]


7) Daria Werbowy: Buy more makeup! It's for the kids! Just in case you needed some justification to buy more product. Per Fashion Week Daily, "Daria Werbowy is using all those hours spent in the makeup chair to create, yes, her own line for Lancôme. Brazilian Earth Colors by Daria Werbowy will land exclusively at Sephora. Expect a lipstick, gloss and eyeshadow quartet," ranging from $24-$45. "A portion of the proceeds will benefit Centro Espacial Vik Muniz, a group that supports arts education programs for young adults in Rio de Janeiro." [FWD]

8) Kat Von D: The LA Ink reality star is also doing cosmetics sold at Sephora. Priced from $16-$48, per the beauty retailer: "this edgy color collection exemplifies old-Hollywood glamour with an L.A. vibe...Kat is as masterful with makeup as she is with a tattoo gun...From pin-up perfection to rocker chic, this limited-edition lineup allows you to tap into your bad-girl side and unleash your inner artist." It's hard-core... but pretty... but tough... but creative. [Sephora]

9) Christina Aguilera: Now why isn't Christina doing a cosmetics line? It's the big mystery: what would she look like sans makeup? Per The Cut: "Christina Aguilera's first scent made for sale in the U.S. is called Inspire and was inspired by Andy Warhol and Tokyo." [The Cut]
