Pharrell’s Qream Liqueur REVIEW

Here I was thinking she had abandoned singing for DJing…

BUT, when we, here at the HB offices, heard about Pharrell’s Qream liqueur launch party last month (to which we weren’t invited, but all is forgiven, and you’ll see why!), our interest peaked.

After all, we’d heard good things. Really good things. First, that it was catered to women which, let’s be honest, is what HB is all about. Second, it was low in calories, lower than those found in a glass of red wine. Wine, people! That’s everyone’s guiltless go-to drink! Third (and this is more personal), it was dairy-free; a plus for me since I’m lactose-intolerant. And finally, not only was it dessert-inspired, but it could literally be baked, poured and cooked into sweets. Into them. Cupcakes, cream puffs, parfaits…

So, after we picked our salivating mouths up from off the floor, we got ourselves a bottle. And though the vodka can in fact be mixed into a cocktail, we opted for having it on the rocks: just Qream, ice and some styrofoam cups (don’t judge). The reactions were unanimous.

It was light. Silky, even. A not-too-thick type of consistency. It didn’t coat our tongues and overwhelm our taste buds. The Peach flavor was so subtly sweet, we likened it to a Creamsicle. Even a hesitant male co-worker begrudgingly admitted through his teeth, “Not bad.” We immediately started looking up pastry recipes and picturing all the scenarios a sip would be perfect in – hello, girls’ night in! And soon after the last pour, we wanted to get the Strawberry-flavored version.

If you need further convincing, the 750ml bottle is less than $30. So both your body and your wallet won’t feel guilty afterward. Go!

Though Pharrell isn’t a drinker himself, he explained his inspiration.

“I think there’s such a stigma in the world about indulgence, making people feel guilty. Those things release endorphins. That means it brings joy to people.”

With less calories than a glass of wine(!) and a thinner consistency than other cream liqueurs, we must say Pharrell’s got a winner on his hands! This drink won’t make you feel guilty in the morning.

She said in a statement, “Anyone can be affected by leukemia. It is the number one disease children in the U.S. die of and we can change that. I encourage people to become bone marrow donors with DKMS. If we have more donors, we can save more lives.”

Early last year, Rihanna publicly urged all her fans to register with the DKMS bone marrow donor center so that young Broadway performer Shannon Tavarez, who played Nala in ‘The Lion King,’ could live after being diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia. The singer unfortunately passed in November 2010.

Pharrell emceed the black-tie event, Solange provided her DJing skills, and supermodel Iman was also in attendance. All proceeds raised will go directly to registering life-saving bone marrow donors.

Producer Pharrell Williams confirmed in a new interview that he has produced new material for Rihanna and Ciara.

“I’ve also got a couple of other things going on in art that I can’t really talk about at the moment. But I definitely have some more art endeavours coming” he says before dropping names “I just went in with T.I., just went in with Gucci Mane, Nicky Minaj, Shay’s stuff, Avril Lavigne – all people who wanted to try different things. Ciara, Rihanna…”

Before Pharrell became a multi-platinum producer and N.E.R.D. frontman, Skateboard P was an outcast in high school who popped Slurpees with his fellow N.E.R.D. Shae and Clipse’s Pusha T, idolized Rakim and A Tribe Called Quest, stole Chicken McNuggets from McDonald’s, and played “Bonita Applebum” in the marching band. MTV gives us a look into his past for “When I Was 17.”

In 2008, Pharrell revealed that he’d be trying a revolutionary new tattoo removal procedure that involves applying new skin over old body art.

He explained,

“It’s basically like getting a skin graft, but you’re not taking skin from your a** or your legs. These guys actually grow the skin for you. First you have to give them a sample of your skin, which they then replicate. Once that’s been done, they sew it on – and it’s seamless.”

As for the cost… That’s irrelevant, he adds.

“It’s going to be pricey, but worth it. I got fire on my arms! I’m a grown man!”

Watch the video below to see Pharrell in all his tattoo-less glory. N.E.R.D was at this photo shoot for their upcoming album “Nothing.”

WHICH PHARRELL DO YOU PREFER?

Here’s the Pharrell we once knew:

What was originally thought to be a live performance clip is the official music video for N.E.R.D.’s “Hot-N-Fun,” the first single from their fourth album Nothing, now slated for July 6. Pharrell, Chad, and Shae rock with college kids at Temple University in Philly, but Nelly Furtado is missing from this party.

Interview Magazine, where celebrities Q&A one another, instead of with an unknown middleman, has announced their 20 Most Gorgeous People of the 2000′s.

They say, “In a decade when it has become daily ritual to witness our most famous, talented, and beautiful people in their gym sweats and flip flops at Starbucks…we thought it’d be fitting to end the ’00s with a glorious, glamorous look back…”

ALICIA KEYS
She seemed to come to us from nowhere in 2001, fully-formed and ready to have us fallin’ for her fiery voice and vulnerable confessionals. Tens of millions of albums sold and multiple Grammys later, she’s suddenly everywhere again, haunting our heads on Jay-Z’s zeitgeisty anthem, “Empire State of Mind.” She’s one-part Aretha and one-part Joni—which is to say that she’s timeless.

GLADYS KNIGHT: Give me some of your pet peeves.
ALICIA KEYS: Give me one of yours, and then I’ll give you one of mine.
KNIGHT: Okay, so there are some announcements that the make before you go onstage: no recording of this show, no pictures taken, none of that stuff. Then as as soon as you step onstage and you get flash-flash-flash. This is show business. This is show business. These people we hook up with go to great lengths to make sure that they’ve got control of our likenesses, and you’re going to take my picture with a cell phone?
KEYS: [LAUGHS] The cell phone thing is out of control. Here’s my pet peeve: The not-so-unstated rule that women are only to be treated as sexual objects and gawked at-you know, sitting up against a car, washing something, bending over, licking something. That just drives me crazy.
KNIGHT: It’s up to us to take back that control.
KEYS: Yeah. Make people wonder a bit more. READ PHARRELL’S INTERVIEW BELOW.

PHARRELL WILLIAMS
At a certain point in 2003, almost half of the songs (43%) being played on American radio was produced by the Neptunes. Of this, the decade of the super-producer, Pharrell is the one doing it with the most style, musically and sartorially. Kanye is a fashion frenetic, but Pharrell has a sensibility that is all his own—even if we have to overlook the occasional pair of knee-length man boots. And how he finds time to design jewelry and a clothing line with all those hits to make, that’s beyond us.

BRIAN GRAZER: So, you try to free yourself up of things that can diffuse your vision?
PHARRELL WILLIAMS: Yeah, because I could be missing something. I’ve found at times that I turn things that bother me into songs, which is super-therapeutic. You know, Einstein said something to the effect that energy can’t be created or destroyed, only conjured. Those weren’t his exact words, but if we have this energy within us that makes us mobile and makes us aware of things, imagine all the things that we can do if we can just harness it. I hope that doesn’t sound too bizarre or too crazy.
GRAZER: Don’t go Yoda on me.
WILLIAMS: [laughs] Yeah, I don’t want to go that way. But there is a lot of energy out there, and it’s up to each of us to use it. Music just happens to be my channel.

Even though American women love Pharrell and think he’s one of the hottest and most talented artists in the industry, some Parisian chicks apparently don’t feel the same way. Check out this video of Pharrell stopping in a McDonald’s in Paris, then putting on an impromptu song and dance when they won’t serve him after closing time. I think it just makes him even more adorable, but the cashiers in this video are NOT amused. Video below.
