These two starlets appear to be the epitome of dumb and blond, but when you look at the larger picture there’s no doubt these celebrities are actually Diva Moguls. Here’s why:

JESSICA SIMPSON-

1. “Newlyweds”: From the “platy-pus” incident to the “chicken or fish” puzzle, it’s the show that had everyone buzzing about the dumb blond singer with the big chest. Simpson spotted this career opportunity early on and as a result, became a household name and skyrocketed to fame. Her fortune also significantly increased thanks to publicity and increased popularity.
2. Building on her “Newlyweds” fame, Jessica quickly launches her own “Desserts” cosmetics line with dessert smelling lip-gloss and other fragrant beauty products.
3. No career would be complete without your own clothing line. Simpson hawks her own clothes and accessories including jeans and shoes.

Blond? Yes. Diva Mogul? Yes.

PARIS HILTON-

1. Much like Jessica Simpson, if Hilton wasn’t already known in houses across America, she became infamous on her own reality television show called “The Simple Life.” Already touted as a party girl, Hilton attempted to convince readers that, she too, could mix with regular folk.
2. Paris capitalized on her fame by launching perfume lines including “Paris Hilton” and “Heiress” and “Just Me.”
3. A famous party girl, Hilton famously gets paid hundreds of thousands of dollars just to show up at parties and nightclub openings around the world.

Blond? Yes. Diva Mogul? Yes.

Like them or not, Jessica and Paris are great examples of building brands and business empires. Think about your brand, creating a buzz, and building an empire.
