Although our Celebrity Business blog has been around for a while, we have added a new superstar author to it. You probably know Jessica Smith from Twitter (@JessicaKnows), the WalMart 11Moms campaign (site launching early September), as the Chief Mom Officer at WishPot, or simply from her rapidly growing blog JessicaKnows.
Jessica has been wanting to write for Sparkplugging for a while – and celebrity gossip is her passion. So I fully expected her to jump in and hit the ground running. What I didn’t expect was for her to never hit the ground at all and start out flying.
TLC's Chili with her line of handbags
In less than 2 weeks, Jess has interviewed Stephan Pinto from CSI: Miami, talk show hosts Whitney & Wyatt and just recently Chili from the ’90’s Grammy Award winning pop band TLC.
Why do these celebrities matter to us?
- Stephan Pinto is both actor and web designer.
- Whitney & Wyatt left lucrative jobs at Microsoft to start their own talk show for women.
- And Mompreneur Chili is creating and selling her own line of beautiful photo handbags at BagsByChili.
I’ve never had an interest in celebrity gossip – but I’ve always had an interest in:
- How celebrities are leveraging their power into other avenues of business
- Being inspired by the creativity and innovation that celebrities always seem to have in abundance
- How people just like you and me take leaps of faith to pursue entrepreneurial goals
- Learning that the challenges celebrities have in starting their side businesses are just like my own challenges
THAT’S what Celebrity Business is all about – and Jessica might just be writing about herself sometime soon if this little clip is any indication of what she is capable of!

Congratulations Jess and wonderful pick Wendy! It’s very exciting to see personal interviews with celebs/entrepeneurs on sparkplugging. The work at home community can learn a lot by the successes and marketing stategies of those who’ve “made it” so to speak, and those who have the PR thing down pat.
So congrats again guys!
What a great addition! Keep showing us how powerful we can be as women entrepreneurs!
