Big news in celebrity fragrances — representatives for Parlux, the company that produces Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson‘s scents, confirm to PEOPLE.com that Jay-Z, Rihanna, Kanye West and a yet-to-be-announced “well-established female artist” have inked a fragrance deal with Jay-Z’s licensing company Iconic Fragrances. Both Rihanna and Kanye will launch signature scents in the summer of 2010, with Jay-Z and the mystery star following suit in 2011. For his part, hip-hop mogul Jay-Z is looking forward to the to expanding his empire, saying in a statement, “We are excited for the opportunity to partner with Parlux and their management team in the launch of these dynamic new brands.” Parlux’s CEO Neil Katz continues, “We are extremely excited to begin work on our projects with Rihanna and Kanye West. Each is an extremely highly regarded celebrity at the top of his or her profession who is undoubtedly going to make an indelible impression in the fragrance industry, just as each has done in the entertainment world.” And it seems that the stars are just as confident about the impending success of the scents. In an unusual move, they will receive payment in royalties, profit sharing and Parlux stocks rather than cash. And while there’s no word yet on who the mystery artist is, Parlux dismisses the idea that the star in question is Beyonce when speaking with WWD.

Hot off the heels of the successful New York Topshop opening, rumors began to swirl that Kate Moss was about to begin penning a cookbook. The Daily Mirror reported that the British supermodel had been inspired by her friend Stasha Palos — the step-daughter to Topshop owner Sir Philip Green — who recently published a cookbook of traditional Jewish meals made simple. However, a rep for Kate tells PEOPLE.com “There is no cookbook. We do not know where it came from but it is definitely false.” Looks the only thing Kate will be cooking up is more sold-out designs for Topshop.

Lindsay Lohan Adds Hosiery to Her Leggings Line

Marion Curtis/Startraks

With her successful leggings collection flying off the shelves and her new spray tan line set to hit Sephora.com on April 15, Lindsay Lohan is busy working on the next addition to her growing empire: hosiery! This summer the actress will launch five styles of tights, including matte and shiny blacks and nudes to her legwear brand 6126. For more daring fashionistas, she’s even created a pair with one black and one white leg. Regardless of the style, however, each will feature a figure-taming shaping component. “Tights are another staple, just like leggings,” Lindsay tells WWD of her decision to expand her legwear brand. “For girls that don’t want to wear socks with their leggings, tights are a natural alternative. They are a sexy and a classic staple.” Lindsay’s 6126 hosiery will launch in July at L.A.’s Intuition boutique. Tell us: Will you buy Lindsay’s hosiery?
