Jaden Smith Just Became the Kanye of Louboutin (But With More Crystals and Less Chaos)

Step aside, fashion world—Jaden Smith is now the first-ever men’s creative director at Christian Louboutin. Yep, the red-bottom shoe empire now has a celebrity brain running the men's department. His debut collection hits in May 2026, and if early whispers are true, expect genderless glam, eco-conscious fabrics, and possibly a shoe that makes your chakras realign. Business-wise? It’s a huge brand diversification move—positioning Jaden as both a designer and a Gen Z fashion thought leader.

Ryan Serhant Expands His Real Estate Empire — Boston, Prepare Your Mansions

Ryan Serhant, the king of million-dollar listings and reality TV charisma, just launched his real estate brokerage in Boston. Translation: Beacon Hill is about to get even more bougie. Known for scaling Serhant into a national luxury brand, this expansion is a calculated move toward market domination in high-end real estate.

Dolly Parton: “New Ventures, Y’all” (Even With Health Concerns)

Never count Dolly Parton out. Despite health worries, the 78-year-old queen of rhinestones teased “something new coming”—which in Dolly-speak usually means a musical, a biotech startup, and a line of sequin-covered coffeemakers all at once. Expect major moves in entertainment and likely new product lines or storytelling ventures under her ever-expanding brand.

Khaby Lame Goes Full Bezos: Billionaire Influencer Moves Into Global E-Commerce

Khaby Lame, TikTok's silent comedy genius turned internet king, just partnered with Rich Sparkle Holdings to scale his content empire into global commerce. The deal could make him the poster boy of creator economy unicorns—and prove you really can build an empire by saying absolutely nothing.

Victoria Beckham Wins Fancy French Award, Still Finding Time for Family Drama

While her fashion brand battles the “is it profitable though?” discourse, Victoria Beckham got knighted (well, close enough) by the French government—earning a cultural award that boosts her global fashion brand credibility. Meanwhile, she’s also navigating public beef with her son Brooklyn. Nothing says “girlboss” like managing an international PR crisis in couture.

Hollywood vs. AI: “Stealing Isn’t Innovation,” Say Literally Everyone

An Avengers-level lineup of celebs launched a major anti-AI campaign this month—defending their creative rights from unlicensed AI models scraping their voices, faces, and vibes. The message? “Pay us or get sued.” It’s also a brilliant move to cement their stake in the future of AI licensing, royalties, and the intersection of tech + talent.

Meghan Markle Might Drop a Cookbook Because, Why Not?

Ever the duchess of hustle, Meghan Markle is rumored to be launching a new cookbook and lifestyle products under her brand As Ever. The Sussexes are clearly done with palace drama and deep into monetizing modern wellness vibes.

In January 2026, celebrities are chasing market share, global expansion, and licensing rights like it’s the Met Gala for mergers. Whether it’s fashion domination, e-commerce empires, or a glamorous fight against rogue AI, the world’s biggest stars are rewriting what it means to be famous in the age of celebrity capitalism.
