Adding to her already impressive array of products, Heidi Klum unveiled her new fragrance Shine in West Hollywood yesterday (September 28).
The “Project Runway” starlet was all smiles as she hammed it up at the Mondrian Los Angeles to plug her signature scent.

Heidi explained that she put a lot of time and effort into creating Shine. “I worked with this amazing French nose who came from Paris many times to me in Los Angeles and New York when I was working there.

Basically we would just talk about all the things that I love in smells and different roots that I like. He comes over and has all the little sniffing strips. They all have numbers so we don’t mess anything up. You sniff, and sniff, and sniff, all day long.”

“I wanted something that is super feminine, that is very light. My husband definitely got an input in it because I do want to smell good for my husband. He doesn’t like it when I smell too strong. He still wants to smell me with a little bit of perfume.”

The MOBO Awards will take place next Wednesday, and is packed with stars.
Kanya King (founder and CEO of the Awards) took the time to have an in-depth chat with us about the event.
Read the interview below to see her thoughts on Jessie J, Adele, urban music and how far the MOBO Awards have come over the last 16 years.

-How are preparations going for the show?
Oh my gosh, wow. It's crazy really. We've got so many people travelling to Glasgow, it's unbelievable. There seem to be hundreds and hundreds more people than there were in '09.
It feels like the city's getting ready for us. I've seen fantastic banners, things like that.
You might not have noticed this, but our Best Newcomer category is voted for via Facebook. We've got all of the ten nominees taking over Twitter. People are asking them if it's their first time going to Glasgow, who they'll be performing with. It's fantastic.

-Do you still get just as excited about it, after all these years?
Absolutely. We're always trying to do something different, and we take risks. You also want to exceed expectations. It's one of those things where yes, I'm still very much excited about it, but I never really let my hair down at the after show party!

-What prompted idea to move back to Glasgow this year?
You know what, I remember when we were there in '09 we had such a fantastic experience. It just felt really natural for us to want to return and build on the great relationship we have with the city.
I remember when I was on stage in '09, I just said "we'll be back!" I didn't know when at the time, but it's just unbelievable, a few years later.
There just seemed to be so much warmth to the artists on the show, and also the vibrancy about it. We just knew it wouldn't be long before the MOBO juggernaut would be hurtling back.

Eva Longoria was one of a plethora of high powered Hollywood big wigs at a fundraiser for Barack Obama on Monday, and she gushed about the opportunity to meet the President in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday night.

"It's a special privilege to meet our commander-in-chief, I'm a big Obama supporter no matter what he's been through -- he's been beaten up the past couple of years," Longoria gushed, enthused about the expensive event. "He's been very receptive for me, I'm a big advocate for Latino issues, and so he's been a big listener and he's done a lot of coalitions and round tables regarding what we want changed."

Longoria has been active politically for some time now, advocating on behalf of those with special needs with her Eva's Heroes foundation and her support this spring for a bill that would establish stricter guidelines for migrant child farmworkers.

She has history with Obama, too; he appointed her to the board that is working to create a new National Museum of the American Latino.

So, naturally, Longoria had some harsh words for his opponents.

"He keeps getting beat up lately because there's such an extremist movement, and for me, it's very dangerous because its not the character of America," Longoria continued. And though she didn't specify that the movement beating up Obama she was referring to was the Tea Party, she later scoffed when Kimmel mentioned them, saying they were "good for comedy."

Last week, Morgan Freeman made similar comments during an interview with Piers Morgan, saying that the Tea Party was extremist and racist.

Longoria also spoke about the last season of "Desperate Housewives," and although she says it's bittersweet, she's clearly ready to move on.

"It's been eight years, it's been a really long run, so we're all kind of okay," the star said.

TOH!‘s Sophia Savage confirms the quirky film will have audiences chuckling and charmed, while THR writes: “Kittelsen’s performance is the linchpin of the film—her open, emotive face reveals as much about her thoughts as her poor impulse control.” Variety’s review calls it “a winning comedy that gets good-natured fun out of characters behaving quite badly,” adding that “a terrific Greek-chorus device restores good humor at the darkest moments: merrily incongruous entre’act performances of traditional American spirituals and hymns by an a cappella male quartet.”

The Norwegian Oscar Committee has submitted Anne Switsky’s feature directorial debut, Happy, Happy, to Best Foreign-Language Feature Film, after it took the top prize at Sundance. Happy, Happy‘s victory at Sundance marked the first time that a Norwegian film won fest’s World Cinema Grand Jury Prize.The film, which stars Agnes Kittelsen, Henrik Rafaelsen, Maibritt Saerens and Joachim Rafaelsen, tells of story two couples with complicated and semi-comedic relationships in neighboring homes. The meeting of the pairs causes each spouse to questions their relationships, but despite the drama, Happy, Happy manages to stay charming and true to its title.

Leighton Meester was shocked when Vera Wang approached her to become the face of her new fragrance.

Well known for her stunning features and edgy fashion style, Leighton frequently makes waves in the fashion industry with her enviable wardrobe.

However, Leighton didn't know what to expect when Vera first caught her attention during a fashion show.

"I was at one of her shows and she mouthed to me across the runway, 'I want to talk to you' I was like, 'OMG, what does Vera Wang want to talk to me about?' I thought I'd done something wrong!" exclaimed Leighton.

"The next day, I got a call asking if I wanted to represent her new fragrance."

The Lovestruck commercial stars Leighton in a modern day fairy tale. The Gossip Girl star is shown waiting for her handsome suitor; model Tommy Dunn, on a New York fire escape wearing a gorgeous, deep red, couture gown.

Leighton is thrilled to be representing such a gorgeous scent.

"I love her clothes and obviously when I first smelt Lovestruck I loved it too! It's got an edginess that really appealed to me," she told Company magazine.

"Lovestruck makes you feel the way you do when you're falling in love."

She may be rehearsing for one of the biggest performances of her career, but it seems that Katy Perry doesn't need to drink alcohol to calm her nerves.

The 26-year-old pop star touched down in Rio de Janeiro yesterday ahead of her appearance at the Rock N' Rio Music Festival and, after rehearsing, headed out to dinner with a group of friends.

The I kissed a Girl singer wore a butterfly print maxi dress with halterneck straps and purple jewelled sandles for her night out at the Porcao restaurant in Brazil.

Still sporting her blonde and pink locks, the star also wore a butterfly in her hair and a pair of gold chandelier earrings.

After laughing with friends over dinner, Katy left the restaurant and happily posed for photographs with waiting fans before making her way to a waiting car.

The star was probably shattered after her flight, and day of rehearsals.

The legendary festival in Rio de Janeiro, which is the biggest in the world, often has an attendance rate in the hundreds of thousands so Katy obviously wants to nail her performance.

The star paid tribute to another singer, Portuguese Brazilian-born Carmen Miranda, by arriving at the airport wearing a mask that resembled the famous samba singer - who was famous for wearing a fruit hat on her head.

London: Sarah Jessica Parker is trying to persuade the ‘Sex and the City’ fashion guru not to boycott a forthcoming prequel.

The 46-year-old actress has urged costume designer Patricia Field to stay away from the new series ‘The Carrie Diaries’, as it is about life of Parker’s character in ‘Sex and the City’, Carrie Bradshaw, as a teenager and will be made by ‘Gossip Girl’ producers Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz.

“Sarah’s 13-year reign as Carrie Bradshaw has come to an end and she hasn’t taken it lying down,” the Daily Mail quoted a source as telling New York Fashion Week.

“She and Pat created Carrie’s fashionista status, so Sarah is putting the pressure on Patricia to side with her,” the source added.

Parker herself backed out of the project when it was signed to American network CW, a rival of HBO, which made the original series.

Fans of Gossip Girl know that the fashion on screen is as captivating as the plotlines.

So news today that there will be a collection inspired by lead characters Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf feels like a natural development.

The line is a collaboration between Warner Bros and Romeo & Juliet Couture, a favourite with Rachel Bilson and Rihanna.

Maryellen Zarakas, of Warner Bros Consumer Products, told how Gossip Girl was the 'perfect design Muse'.

She told WWD: Gossip Girl as the inspiration for a fashion line makes for the perfect design muse because there’s an endless supply of inspiration.

'It wasn’t a decision about whether or not to pursue this collection, it was about finding the right partner.'

She explained that the range would expand further for its second season, with the launch of accessories and handbags for spring.

'We’re still working out the line plan for the future,' she added. 'But we have a long-term relationship planned that will see the line expand into other product categories.'

The launch of the fashion line coincides with the premiere of season five of Gossip Girl, which begins on the CW network on September 26.
