She also wrote a semi-autobiographical novel, The Truth About Diamonds, which landed on The New York Times Best-Seller List. Her second novel was Priceless. On top of everything else, her creative personal style became so popular, she also has various fashion lines, all named after her children. In 2012 and 2013, she starred as a judge and mentor on NBC’s Fashion Star.
