(Newser) – Celebs are excellent at promoting themselves, so why not move into other products? Here are 10 stars who were bitten by the entrepreneurial bug, courtesy of the Street.

  • Jessica Alba: The actress's company The Honest Co. sells health-oriented and environmentally conscious baby products such as diapers, shampoo, and household cleaners.
  • Ashton Kutcher: He's a creative director for Ooma, a VoIP service, and has contributed seed money to an array of tech start-ups.
  • Sammy Hagar: The former Van Halen singer launched a successful chain of mountain bike stores, bought a night club, and earned $80 million after selling a stake in his tequila company.
  • Clint Eastwood: Dirty Harry owns a ranch resort and golf club in California.
Check out the rest of the list here.

I really like Jessica's "organic" skin care line. I don't really know or care what's in the bottle, but it's apparently good for me because my skin loves it. Pretty cool she found a product to fix her name to that isn't a complete pile of trash.

Jessica Alba should sponser EYE wear- to prepare for the movie EYE, she trained at the NM Blind School Afterwards she complained there were no good restaurants in Albuquerque. If she could read, she would've realized the NM Blind School is located in Alamogordo, NM, not Albuquerque, but she IS RIGHT on that one- there are NO good restaurants in Alamogordo, NM- everything comes out of a can
