Items Du Jour: Katy Perry Covers Elle, Lea Michelle Covers Cosmo
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
-- Mother of Johnny Depp's kids and muse to Karl Lagerfeld, Vanessa Paradis, makes eye patches sexy by sporting a black rose one on the cover of i-D Magazine. Is this her hint at wanting a role in Pirates of the Caribbean?
-- Katy Perry tones down her costume look for Elle magazine, where she instead sports a colorful Gucci suit. Looking a bit like Emily Blunt on the cover, Perry's business attire works well for her.
-- Of course, Perry can't always keep to tame pants suits. The 26 year-old appeared at the Mexico City launch of her new fragrance -- Purr by Katy Perry -- in a purple dress that left little to the imagination.
-- Continuing on her unspoken path to rid the cosmetic world of chemicals, supermodel Gisele Bundchen has just proclaimed her detestment of sunscreen, calling it poison. Of course, those who are fighting tirelessly for the prevention of skin cancer are outraged.
-- Speaking of outrage, Glee actress Lea Michele landed the cover of Cosmopolitan wearing a v-cut top that -- gasp -- almost reveals her navel! Naturally, Glee parents who have no concept of the difference between television characters and the people who portray them, are upset.

Lady Gaga Perfume to Smell Like Blood, Semen
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Rumors,
Will it never end? It's bad enough that every celebrity -- from A-list to D-list, fresh-faced to washed-up -- has their own fragrance, but Lady Gaga has taken it to a new, bizarre level. Unlike previous scents of rose petals and women's independence, the pop star reportedly wants her perfume to smell like blood and semen.
Just another outlandish rumor Lady Gaga planted to have the internet talking about her latest entrepreneurial venture? Maybe, but I wouldn't put it past the eccentric singer to celebrate her sexuality and morbidity through a scent. She did, after all, wear a dress made out of rotting flesh.
Are her die-hard little Monsters going to actually wear the blood-and-semen smell, or will they just prop the bottle up in their shrines? Would you wear it?
Perhaps the best test of all would be whether or not Angelina Jolie -- who once wore a vial of ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton's blood around her neck -- would wear the smell.

Items Du Jour: Natalie for Dior, Sasha for Miu Miu, Leighton for Missoni
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Models, News,
-- Natalie Portman is stunning in her Christian Dior ad for the fragrance Miss Dior. Knowing that she's an animal rights activist, I can't help but feel reminded of the "I'd Rather Be Naked" campaign...
-- Sasha Pivovarova returns to Miucci Prada's fashionable arms in her Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2011 ads, shot by Mert and Marcus.
-- Take that, Blake! Not to be outshined by her Gossip Girl co-star's Chanel gig, Leighton Meester strikes a pose for Missoni. When there's a will to do high fashion, there's a way.
-- Lindsey Wixson gets in front of Terry Richardson's lens for Opening Ceremony's Spring/Summer 2011 lookbook. Apparently, Terry can do cute and adorable without being sleazy.
-- Speaking of Richardson, Paris Hilton (remember her?) posted a picture of the two on her Twitter, propagating the news that she's going to be in a Vogue editorial -- Vogue Turkey, that is.

Add Rihanna to the List of Celebrities With a Perfume Line
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Rihanna's first perfume will reflect her strong personality. The "Only Girl (In The World)" singer's debut fragrance -- Reb'l Fleur -- will be befitting of her independent character and designers behind the fragrance say she has been more hands on than most in coming up with the perfect scent.
"This is not a shrinking violet kind of fragrance," said Kathleen Galvin, vice president of marketing and advertising at Parlux, which has developed the perfume with the star.
The title of the scent is a reference to a nickname Rihanna's grandmother gave her when she was growing up in Barbados, and she has also had it tattooed on her. Rihanna, 22, has long been known to mix different existing perfumes to create her own signature scent and said she wanted her own perfume to reflect the her roots in Barbados as well as her life in New York and Los Angeles.
She has described what she wanted to create as "like high heels with a short, flirty dress."

Tamara Mellon Stars in Jimmy Choo Perfume Ad
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Editorials, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty,
While perfume sales may not be up there for some celebs, fashion designers like Marc Jacobs and Dolce & Gabbana seem to fare better. Not surprisingly, Jimmy Choo has released its own fragrance, with its co-founder and Chief Creative Officer, Tamara Mellon, taking over modeling duties.
"We've transitioned into a lifestyle luxury brand, and it seemed like the next natural step for us... Fragrance is such an important accessory for women -- I think it will have a very broad reach. Our customer is every woman," Mellon explained.
Mellon worked closely with fashion photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin for the campaign (pictured above).

See (Finally!) Taylor Momsen in John Galliano Commercial
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrities, Videos,
Earlier this year, we got to hear Taylor Momsen (sort) of fronting a perfume commercial for John Galliano. Now, we actually get to see her in the ad.
Although we found it strange that she didn’t really appear in the first version, we’re kind of torn now. After watching both videos, let us know what you think. Do you like the Parlez-Moi d'Amour spot better when you’re focusing on her singing – or on her raccoon eyes?

Jennifer Aniston’s Perfume (Sales) Fading
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrities,
Women may want to look like Jennifer Aniston, but they might not want to smell like her.
Sales of the actress' first perfume -- Jennifer Aniston (formerly named Lolavie) -- have reportedly dropped off since debuting earlier this year. Some claim Aniston's lack of promotion is to blame.
"It's absolutely not true," Jennifer's rep said in response to the finger-pointing. "The fragrance was launched specifically for Harrods [in London] and Jennifer went there personally to launch it and to do press."

Dita Von Teese Keen For Own Cosmetics, Perfume Lines
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Dita Von Teese wants her own make-up line. The burlesque dancer, who was a spokesperson for the MAC AIDS Fund in 2006 and 2007, says she is keen to have own cosmetics range because she feels not every woman is catered for.
"I want to do my own make-up line, because I feel like things are missing in the world. I'm constantly trying to mix up colors. Also, I mix my own body make-up. I love the idea of beautiful packaging for cosmetics. I use a lot of vintage powder compacts, and I buy vintage lipstick tubes and transfer lip colors into them. I put my MAC lipstick into my vintage Helena Rubinstein tubes. I love the look of matte, velvety lips. Every girl should have a matte red and a matte fuchsia. And that's so hard to find these days."
As well as wanting her own make-up line, Dita - who is famed for her vintage-inspired wardrobe and glamorous look - is keen to release her own fragrance because she hates smelling like anyone else:

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrities, Videos,
Lindsay Lohan's done it. Naomi Watts has tried it. Even Michelle Williams has attempted it. Now, it's Christina Aguilera's turn to channel Marilyn Monroe.
In this new commercial for Royal Desire, the smiling singer almost makes us forget that she's in the middle of a divorce. Of course, now we're just wondering who she's spraying the new scent for ...
