Justin Bieber Wins Fragrance of the Year Award

Posted by Natalia Buia on December 8th, 2011

Nicki Minaj, Snooki, Taylor Swift and even his girlfriend Selena are all putting out perfumes this year, but it’s Justin Bieber who wins the best fragrance of the year award.

The Hollywood Life reveals that Justin won big earlier this morning at the Women’s Wear Daily Beauty Inc Awards, posted online.

He headed straight to Twitter to thank his fans for raising money for charity.  All proceeds of the perfume, which sells for around $40, will be given to charity but it’s not reported which one. Justin’s done a lot of work with organizations like Pencils for Promise and Make a Wish Foundation, so it could be either of those.

It’s kind of funny to think a man up against other famous women would ever stand a chance of winning a “best perfume” award. Maybe next year his girlfriend Selena can take home the gold.

Help Selena Gomez Create a Perfume

Posted by Natalia Buia on December 7th, 2011

While Selena’s getting some sun down in Mexico with boyfriend Justin Bieber, she’s leaving the design of her new perfume in the hands of her fans.

Selena wants fans to help her pick out a scent for her perfume. She just posted a video explaining to fans how helpful they’d be for her new project.

You’ll get to compare several notes that I’ve selected for the top, heart and base of the perfume,” the singer says.

The first 100,000 participants to help Selena pick scents will receive a free sample of the perfume before it’s even in stores. Ten lucky voters will also win a trip to New York to be with Selena as she makes her final decision.

I mean, who wouldn’t want to point at the perfume at Shopper’s Drug Mart and tell their friends “oh yeah, I helped create that!”

Those interested can head to this website to learn more. Check out Selena’s plea in a video posted below.

Sneak Peak into Christina Aguilera’s New Perfume and Commercial

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 28th, 2011

When an album flops, a new opportunity knocks. For Christina Aguilera, she may not have a lot of success from her previous album, Bionic, but she could make some mad cash with her new perfume.

The Hollywood Life reveals the perfume is called Secret Potion. She says, “every woman has a secret sexy side. With my fragrance, I really want that side to shine.”

The gossip site posted a sneak peak video in the making of her new commercial, to promote her new product.

Her stylist for the video, Cher Coulter gives us a glimpse on what it’s like styling the singing diva. Director Matthew Rolston couldn’t stop raving about how much fun it is to work with Christina. It looks like photoshopping and retouching her wasn’t all that fun, though.

Check out the video below.

Dakota Fanning Ad Banned in England

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 9th, 2011

According to Britain’s Advertising Standards Authority, the above ad for Marc Jacob’s perfume featuring Dakota Fanning is deemed too sexually explicit. The Gossip Cop reports the ad has been banned in magazines and billboards.

The young actress is dressed like Lolita, posing with a gigantic bottle of Lola by Marc Jacobs perfume between her legs.

The organization issued a statement saying: “We considered that the length of her dress, her leg and position of the perfume bottle drew attention to her sexuality. Because of that, along with her appearance, we considered the ad could be seen to sexualise a child.”

The Brits are taking things a little too seriously here. Dakota’s dress isn’t that show to begin with. Also, it’s not like she’s doing anything dirty with the bottle. It’s just sitting there on her lap like it were a cat or laptop. For a young star, Dakota’s been taking good care of herself, meaning she hasn’t gone down the Lindsay Lohan path, but I don’t think she ever will.

This is all just a case of Brittain’s Got Talent to Chill.

Yonge St. Closes for 6 hours for Katy Perry

Posted by Samantha Lui on June 30th, 2011

If you’re a star as big as Katy Perry, perhaps you’ll have enough power to close down a whole street.

Well actually, that’s what happened.

In a city like Toronto where mayor Rob Ford considers moving charity events and marathons off the streets because they’re an inconvenience to drivers, Yonge St., one of the city’s main downtown streets, closed for six hours just so the popstar could promote her new perfume, Purr.

Appearing almost an hour and a half late, Perry showed up for about 30 minutes of the closure.  Yonge St., from Edward to Richmond Sts, was almost empty for a large part of the time.

“It doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense,” said Councillor Doug Holyday, according to an interview with the Toronto Star. “You wonder why it couldn’t have been held somewhere where it wouldn’t block off the street.”

“We’ve got places where some of these sizable events can be held,” he continued, mentioning Nathan Phillips and Yonge-Dundas squares as other options.

Sears, the perfume’s retailer, anticipated 3,000 to 7,000 fans to fill the streets, according to Vincent Power, director of corporate communications.

But with rough estimates from Toronto police and Eaton Centre security, the closure only drew about 1,500.

So a bit of an exaggeration?

I would think so.

I’m actually a bit disappointed with how this was handled. Six hours really was not necessary and most of the people there were probably just passing by and curious as to what was happening.

I’m a fan of Katy but being almost an hour and a half late was not very cool to the fans who had to wait in the sweltering heat.

And besides, six hours of road closures?  That’s too extreme.

Justin Bieber Launches Ad For His New Perfume

Posted by Samantha Lui on May 24th, 2011

First nail polish…and now perfume?

Looks like Beliebers will have something else to fawn over with the release of Justin Bieber’s new ad for Someday.his new perfume.

The commercial  features a female spraying on the perfume while Bieber sniffs her neck repeatedly as he apparently finds the smell so irresistible.  Soon after, the two  defy gravity as they float around in the air together.

According to a press release by Zimbio, “Justin created Someday to give fans a personal invitation and intimate access to his heart.”

“It’s a fragrance he can’t get enough of and can’t stay away from, making those who wear it irresistible.”

The perfume will sell for $55 and is said to have a “sweet, fruity” scent.

According to the New York Daily News, it could earn the 17-year-old singer as much as $30 million.

Looks like the little boy he was once was is growing up into a man!!  Tacky commercial or not, it is kind of nice to see the Biebs developing into a little business man.  And as tacky as the commercial may be,  I’m sure Beliebers everywhere are going to go crazy trying to get their hands on this!

But on another note, I wonder how Selena Gomez feels about him sniffing another girl’s neck

Watch the commercial here.

Britney Spears’ 10 Million Dollar Lawsuit

Posted by Lauren Treihaft on March 31st, 2011

Britney Spears has just launched her new album, recreated her image, and is just getting back into her former place of popularity in the mainstream. Just when she thought she had it all she’s been  $10 million lawsuit by Brand Sense Partners LLC for her Fragrance line featuring the perfume “Curious”.

According to TheWrap.com, Brand Sense brokered Spears’ deal with Elizabeth Arden in 2004 for her fragrance line. The deal said that Brand Sense was to receive a 35 percent commission on any resulting Spears-branded fragrances. The company is claiming that Spears robbed the company of their 35 percent commission.

There are reports that Britney, along with her father, thought the commission was too high so they made an under the table deal with Elizabeth Arden to have all of the royalties sent directly to the popstar.

The title of Spears’s new album is kind of ironic. The femme fatale in films usually mingles in bad or fraudulent business and usually gets caught. Self-fulfilling prophecy…. fulfilled.
