Aug 30, 2011 @ 1:15 pm

How many times do you update your manicure in one night? If you’re Katy Perry, it’s no less than four polish changes!

Aug 29, 2011 @ 2:30 pm

Hair chameleon Katy Perry revealed her latest shade at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards—lavender! It’s the hue she and colorist Rita Hazan have been working on over the past few months, which explains Perry’s recent transformations from brunet to redhead to blond to pink. “It was such an exciting challenge to custom-create Katy’s colour for her big reveal at the VMAs,” Hazan said on her Facebook. “She is a colorist’s dream—always willing to take risks to achieve a groundbreaking look—and it was awesome to be able to realize this goal for her.” What do you think of the new color? Tell us in the comments!

Lady Gaga to Launch a Fragrance Line

Sep 13, 2010 @ 2:17 pm

As if landing eight Moon Men wasn’t enough of a coup, Lady Gaga has signed a fragrance contract with perfume powerhouse Coty. Stephan Mormoris, the senior vice president of global marketing for Coty Beauty, told WWD that the first offering from this “fascinating cultural force” is expected to launch in the spring of 2012. While the Haus of Gaga gets to sniffing, the rest of us will be speculating on the scent of this sure-to-be epic new fragrance. Perhaps there will be a top note of latex with an undertone of raw meat? Maybe a subtle bouquet of Earl Grey and peroxide? Whatever the blend, the scent is sure to be as mind-blowing, and as popular, as the Lady herself.
