Many people wonder who they’ll kiss at stroke of midnight at New Year’s Eve and prior to countdown  Jenny McCarthy was asked “Do you have an idea as to who will be your kiss after the countdown to the new year?”

I don’t know. I might just represent single women that love themselves and give myself a hug. I will squeeze, squeeze myself.

Fortunately, for one New York City police officer, he found himself locking lips with her when the ball dropped in Times Square.  Afterwards, she tweeted “Hope u guys enjoyed it! FYI. I was wearing fake fur & the cop was a G-rated kiss. (except for my hand squeezing his butt).  Happy new year!”

Alex Woo also hopes everyone’s night was filled with lots of sparkle and fun as we welcomed 2012.  Best wishes in the New Year! xoxo

Created by The OC and Gossip Girl team, the show definitely has some of the same witty one-liners and eye-candy that helped propel the other shows to success. In the “Faith & Infidelity” episode, Rachel wears Alex Woo’s Sienna earrings.

Who makes the silver pendant necklace Ali wears on The Bachelorette? -Molly

From date night (to The Bachelorette) to late night (a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!), Ali has been making the rounds in Alex Woo’s sterling silver “Little Luck” elephant necklace.

Shot all over the U.S. as well as international locations like Portugal, Iceland, Turkey and Tahiti, Ali is wearing Alex Woo’s Little Luck Elephant in the intro and this time around is determined to choose love over work and we couldn’t be happier for her.

Right after the Bachelorette premier, Ali was on Jimmy Kimmel wearing her favorite Little Luck pendant. Check the two part video clips below.

BACHELORETTE BIO

Age:25
Occupation: Advertising Account Manager
Hometown: Williamstown, MA
Resides in: San Francisco, CA

Ali Fedotowsky, the beautiful, energetic and charismatic career-oriented woman from San Francisco is back. She has re-prioritized her life – and now is ready to find her soul mate. Ali will have her own opportunity to find true love, as the sixth edition of The Bachelorette, the female version of ABC’s hit romance reality series on the ABC Television Network.

Ali, 25, has been a fan favorite from the moment she stepped out of the limo to meet Jake Pavelka on the last season of The Bachelor. She became the front-runner for Jake’s heart, but in a shocking turn of events, she was forced to make a heartbreaking choice between her dream job and continuing her relationship with Jake. Ali surprisingly chose her career – a decision she still regrets. But it’s not too late for Ali now. She’s left her home, her job, her stability behind – letting go of everything this time — to really make a life-changing commitment to put her heart first and take a second chance at finding true love.

In the film, Danneel Harris, known for her role on One Tree Hill, plays Olivia, J.Lo’s nemesis.  Danneel recalls “I play the nemesis to J.Lo… that was interesting, the first day I met her I had to call her like fat”

In the scenes, she wears Alex Woo’s Siri Bell Necklace.

This time, the teen pop sensation came to serve as the contestants’ first guest mentor of the season and wore Alex Woo’s Vida Cuff during her own performance “When I Look at You”.  The song is from Miley’s upcoming movie “The Last Song,” which comes out on March 31st.

Prior to her strong performance and display of talent on the piano, she coached the 11 remaining competitors as they prepared to sing their pick from a list of every number one single in Billboard Hot 100 history and gave a few words of encouragement (and advice) to the contestants. 

Mixing compliments with suggestions on how to make the performances better, the below are a few her more interesting comments.

Tim Urban - ”I would give you two thumbs up. I think you rock. It’s not the personality he’s lacking. It’s just adding riffs or switching it up somehow.”

Lee Dewyze - ”Lee, I think, has an amazing voice. The only thing that is lacking sometimes is his stage presence. Give them a few notes they wouldn’t expect from you.”

Crystal Bowersox – “There were some times when she hit those high notes that it sounded gospel.”
