We got our answer today on Facebook, when Rivers confirmed our suspicions. She reposted a photo of her on the E! Entertainment show saying that the simulated-druzy necklace she was wearing was from her QVC Line.

The necklace was on the air tonight. It is the Joan Rivers Simulated Drusy Bib 18″ Necklace w/ 3″ extender, $100, item number J267155. It comes in four colors, blue, gold, pink and silver.

The silver version, the one that Rivers wore on “Fashion Police,” is on waitlist.

All the necklaces are on advance order, coming in March.

According to HSN’s press release Thursday, the Solution, not to be confused with The Situation, is “a new piece of fitness equipment that will help customers burn fat and get shredded abs in just 2 minutes a day.”

Lopez fans can go to www.hsn.com/mariolopez and leave Facebook messages for the television star and be alerted when The Solution becomes available for purchase.

Customers will receive the Mario Lopez workout DVD with Mario’s two-Minute Ab Shredder workout, plus four bonus workouts. The bundle also includes Mario’s two-week Ab Meltdown Eating Guide and two-day Jumpstart and instructional guide including a seven-step easy assembly and exercise videos.

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to appear on HSN and help viewers achieve their fitness goals,” Lopez said in a canned statement. “Having a healthy lifestyle is so important and I am excited by what ‘The Solution’ with Body by Jake can do to transform bodies and lives.”

Dig this:

Manufactured by Body By Jake, The Solution features a patented Gravitational Linkage System that takes users through the perfect synchronized abdominal motion, while the contoured Free Flow Swivel seat provides a seamless transition from scissor crunches, to right and left obliques — all while providing firm back support. Upright handgrips also open up the abdominal cage to provide the deepest, ab-ripping contraction possible.

“Mario is a great addition to HSN’s lineup of health and fitness icons,” HSN vice president of merchandising Jane Dyer said in a canned statement. “He is not only passionate about health and fitness, he is dedicated to helping people become the best version of themselves. I know our customers will connect with him.”

We know that we’d like to connect with him.

Here is HSN’s boilerplate about Lopez:

A man of many trades, Mario Lopez has the overwhelming desire to always keep active. He is the single host of the nationally syndicated daily show EXTRA. Concurrently, Lopez continues his hosting duties on MTV highly rated program, America’s Best Dance Crew. Not only does Lopez have a proclivity for the entertainment industry, he is also an avid sports fan. He has taken his love for sports, specifically boxing, to the next level as a recurring commentator on HBO Boxing.

Mario currently resides in Los Angeles with his longtime fiance Courtney Mazza and their daughter, Gia.

“Reset the gold standard during today’s 25th Annual California Gold Rush Sale,” QVC said on its website. It’s your golden opportunity to discover style and savings on a stunning assortment of 14K gold jewelry. Hurry for best selection and savings.

It’s true, all is not perfect. Before the price of this special metal soared, the Gold Rush was a 24-hour event on QVC live. Now, it’s just 13 hours of on-air programming, with the rest of the goodies posted online. Not cool.

HSN has a Studio Barse bronze ring with either a turq, coral or tiger’s eye stone. No. 1, we don’t care if the prices of silver and gold have skyrocketed, we have the bronze and copper pieces that have replaced it, especially on HSN. Now we have bronze Studio Barse and Nicky Butler and Hilary Joy jewelry in those metals.

“Copper is the new rose gold,” Hilary Joy’s chief said on-air.

No, it’s not.

Another pet peeve: Studio Barse boasts that it uses real turquoise and coral. It’s true, it’s real. But it is “compressed” turq and coral, in other words, small bits of those materials are put together and scrunched into one piece.

That to us is less of a value, less desirable, than using a solid piece of turquoise in a ring.

Prince, a gracious and classy blonde, had her first show back in Minnesota Thursday, for the No. 3 home shopping network’s Designer Day.

Here is what Prince posted on Facebook:

Hey Ladies! Just had fabulous shows on Shop NBC and I wanted to say thank you…..really had a blast with Kendy. Found out the prices were only good today, so prices on the internet may be higher than the actual price. Don’t wait! The new pieces sold like crazy…….go shopping. Hugs, Dallas

HSN is having its designer jewelry day Tuesday, with a TS from Studio Barse. We know it’s a ring, but we hope it’s not in bronze!

With the price of silver soaring, we are finding it better to find sterling pieces at TJ Maxx (although its selection has diminished) and local shops — such as Eastern Gifts and Dem Two Hands in Montclair — than on home shopping networks. The prices of these mom-and=pop shops are higher than they used to be, but they carry lovely handcrafted silver and gemstone jewelry.

As one of our astute posters noted, JTV premiered this collection as divers were still hunting for survivors, and victims, of the Italian cruise line crash.

That’s what we wonder every time we see, and cringe at, the network’s promos for its new “Titanic Jewelry Collection.” The pieces have a vintage feel, and look pretty. Of course, there’s a big blue heart in the collection. But that name!

Here is JTV’s description:

For four magical days, the Titanic’s elite passengers reveled in every modern luxury known at the time. Jewelry of that time was depictive of the Art Nouveau and Edwardian eras. Art Nouveau jewelry was influenced on naturalism, involving unusual designs within a symmetrical frame encompassing foliage, leaves, enamel, pearls, crystals and gemstones. Edwardian designs included more formal jewelry; tiaras, brooches, rings, pendants, earrings, bracelets and sautoir necklaces. Many set with brilliant gemstones, diamonds, crystals and pearls.

But what marketing whiz thought it would be a good idea to name the line after one of the worse disasters at sea ever?

The jewelry pieces have names, as well, of what would appear to be passengers on the ill-fated 1912 voyage. We think. Actually, we’re not quite sure if they were real people, or just made up by JTV.

For example, here is what JTV has to say about its Eleanor Social Butterfly Brooch.

Eleanor Widener first class passenger of the Titanic. Eleanor and her husband and aren’t the richest passengers on board–that honor goes to John Jacob Astor–were not far behind him. Her husband is the heir to the largest fortune in Philadelphia and, with that, comes a certain social responsibility.

Consequently, we were very well known for our lavish parties and our enviable guest lists. Once aboard the Titanic, we will make it a point to meet the right people and invite them to our private parties. Speaking of being social…you might find Eleanor wearing this social butterfly brooch while waiting to chat with her fellow passengers.

And we definitely that think JTV jumped the shark when its says “The Titanic Jewelry Collection launches Tuesday, Jan. 17.”

Launches indeed. That’s a real knee slapper.

QVC designer Isaac Mizrahi, 50, and his boyfriend Arnold Germer have gotten hitched, officially. During an appearance on “The Wendy Williams Show,” Mizrahi said he and Germer had gotten married.

The new thing out in West Chester, is having “shows,” not generic segments. So we recently had “Anything Goes With Rick & Shawn,” namely host Rick Domeier and Shawn Killinger. And in February, we can look forward to “The Lisa Robertson Show.”

Lisa Robertson is getting her own show

We didn’t see “Anything Goes,” but looking at the product lineup, not much went.

Here’s the spicy linuep of goods that Rick and Shawn were selling: a battery-operated callus remover; a Rowenta steam iron; Billy Blanks Ultimate Workout DVD; microfiber dusters; a storage set; a hair flat iron; a ceramic fireplace heater; and an air purifier.

Whoppee! Wow, anything goes, ha? A callus remover and a Rowenta? Rick and Shawn must have been having a wild old time. We’re sorry we missed those microfiber dusters.

We can only hope that Robertson’s “show” is better. Here is what she has said on Facebook about it.

Guess what?! This February, a brand-new show is coming to QVC…”The Lisa Robertson Show”! I’m really excited about it. But it’s not just because I’ll be your humble host. Every Friday night, we’re going to give you your own personal magazine/ trunk show/ private party, (all good things We’re bringing you amazing ideas and we’ll show you how to make them your own. We’re sitting down with your favorite designers and introducing you to some up-and-coming trendsetters. More details to come in the coming weeks.

Robertson, by the way, is on a two-week vacation to India and Dubai.

Finally, who in their right mind would buy a diet or nutrition product from Kirstie Alley, whose weight has fluctuated in 100-pound swings. Yet QVC is hawking her diet program.

“I can assure you that if you follow this program, you’ll get healthier, lose weight, and not be ‘annoyingly’ hungry,” Alley said on QVC’s website.

Jump-start your weight loss with this fun and engaging program: Kirstie Alley’s Organic Liaison.

We have to take a pass on that one.

On Feb. 10 Zarin will premiere her collection of Skweez Couture shapewear. Zarin, “who joined forces with Triad Hosiery to design and develop Skweez Couture for HSN, will introduce her line during the Insider NYC event, where customers will get an insider’s tour of the Big Apple,” the home shopping channel crowed in a press release Tuesday.

The exclusive collection of shapewear combines feminine and fashionable designs with powerful innovative control technologies to help slim and smooth the contours of a woman’s body. We could use that!

The line apparently went on sale in retail stores in September.

Zarin fans have been raving about the line, claiming that the product “Skweezes and shapes” like nothing they’ve ever worn before with several styles include beautiful trimmings and are designed so that you don’t have to only wear it underneath your clothing anymore.

Here’s the canned quote from Zarin:

“I’m so excited to debut my Skweez Couture shapewear for the first time on HSN. It has been my lifelong dream to do this and I always knew I was born to sell. Many of the new styles being sold during this event were designed exclusively for HSN, and it will be a great opportunity to reach women across the country to show them how they can Skweez and smooth it all while still feeling fabulous and feminine at the same time.”

Here is more from the press release, bla-bla-bla.

Through collaborative research and development, Zarin and Triad have produced a line with the goal in mind to benefit women of all ages, fusing shapes and colors to ensure that the collection included different styles from the current market assortment. Skweez Couture is also made of innovative, breathable fabrics that adapt to any body shape. The products are made to accentuate what the real woman wants to play up, yet helps to conceal areas that are often problem prone.

“The Skweez Couture Collection is a beautiful assortment of quality garments that are fashionable and solution driven. This is shape wear that you want people to see,” said John Bosco, HSN Senior Vice President of Apparel, Accessories and Jewelry. “Jill’s collection is real, she personally wears it and you can see how passionate she is about it. She is a great storyteller and a female entrepreneur…two qualities HSN strongly supports. I know our customers will connect with her.”

The Skweez Couture collection for HSN offers a wide range of styles and comes in sizes Small to 2XL. The shapewear is available in three strengths — tight, tighter and tightest to provide ultimate shaping and smoothing of the targeted zones. Prices range from $20 to $75 with consistent quality throughout.
