Flowers reign in Hollywood as Macy’s gets ready to party

August 14, 2008

Access Hollywood

Gearing up for its 150th birthday this October, Macy's has invited some A-list celebrities to help celebrate the big event. Another part of the festivities? Flowers, of course!

I love this flower-power photo of Christina Aguilera, complete with rich floral pattern and texture on her dress, that will appear on oversize ad displays at Macy's stores across the country. It's also a subtle play on one of the retailer's claims to fame: the Macy's Flower Shows in California stores, which date back to 1946.

Christina's image is one of a series shot by Rolling Stone photographer Mark Seliger. Who else posed? Oh, just Donald Trump, Martha Stewart, Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein. And, reportedly, Jessica Simpson shot a commercial for the store. To read more, go to: http://omg.yahoo.com/news/first-look-christina-aguilera-wishes-macys-happy-birthday/11397.

And, showing that you're never too young to start appreciating flowers, Violet Affleck looked like she was having a great time on a recent visit with mom Jennifer Garner at the Huntington Botanical Gardens near Pasadena, huntington.org. The full story can be found at: http://justjared.buzznet.com/2008/08/12/violet-affleck-flower-power.

Flower Fact of the Day: Huntington Botanical Gardens span nearly 120 acres and feature about 15,000 kinds of plants from all over the world. First developed in 1903, the Huntington's theme gardens now include a Children's Garden, a Desert Garden and a Shakespeare Garden, among many others.

This is a beautiful picture shown here with Christina Aguilera and the flowers are beautiful too! I've been an admirer of Christina since her debut on Disney's "Mulan" animated movie.

I really love how the purple and the greens work off of each other. Christina almost seems to meld into the flowers.

I honestly would have to discount Jessica Simpson from this, though, just for the fact that it seems she's doing a beer promotion? I mean, c'mon - the woman, IMO, is very pretty but her quote saying she just wants to expand her portfolio? Shouldn't celebrities do something they believe in? Unless she needs some money - then it's a different story. Anyways, getting off track.

I hope everything goes well.
