Now that Kim Kardashian has tied the knot and she (and her ass) can settle down and eventually pop out a kid (pregnancy rumors continue to swirl) with her ball loving husband, I’m left wondering…Will the buxom babe continue to show her assets to the world now that she’s a married lady?  The last thing I want to see is Kim K. on the cover of  magazine revealing a fully prego belly (let’s leave that to the pros like Miranda Kerr). Although, I wonder if the newlywed will turn domestic? Could there be a Kardashian cookbook in the works? Oh, excuse me. I meant to spell that “Kookbook”, they are a K-centric family after all. (It’s all a little kooky if you ask me.)

Back in her single, err, dating days, Kim posed for fashion photogs and left nothing to the imagination (I think she likes the attention), so it’s time to celebrate (or make fun of) the Kardashian’s pre-wedding shoots.

Probably one of the most memorable Kim K. shoots is this silver painted shot for W magazine. Photographed by Mark Seliger you get to see all of the reality star (front and back), as she agreed to be completed naked and silvered for this editorial titled, “The Art of Reality“.

Then there’s the ad campaign for her namesake fragrance, where she’s just hanging around. I like to refer to this shot as a the “burlesque chicken” pose. Her furry arms are spread as she’s trying to be sexy with full lips, but you know balancing on that metal ring isn’t easy. By the way, since when has the word “voluptuous” been used to describe a scent?

Don’t forget about the Armenian-turned-Egyptian goddess shoot she did with Harper’s Bazaar back in March. The Kardashian really does make a nice “Cleopatra With a K.” It really is a K-world and we just live in it.

Last, but certainly not least, I have to mention the really awkward shoot she did with Justin Bieber for Elle titled, “The Graduate“.  This whole shoot is kind of creepy as Kim towers over the underage eenie meenie miny moe lover.

She might be known for her lady parts and reality TV antics, but I have a feeling this Kardashian wears the pants in her relationship (much like her mother) and we’ll continue “keeping up” with her assets on camera in the near future. Whether you like it or not, Kim doesn’t seem to be taking a break from the media anytime soon. If you’re not tired of her yet, you can view more of Kim on MyFDB.

David Beckham will be releasing “Homme” come September. The scent is described as being masculine will include notes of ginger, cashmere wood, leather, and mahogany wood. I guess this is what a sweaty rugged soccer (that’s football for countries outside of the US) smells like.  I wonder why the emphasis on ‘manly’ and ‘masculine’? I’d much rather have clean and sexy, then again I’m thinking Posh probably wears the pants in that family. If the scent isn’t enough for you, there’s also going to be a body wash, deodorant body spray, and deodorant stick…so you can be Beckham masculine at all times.

Now apparently smelling good is a big business for Celine Dion, I didn’t even know she had a fragrance line, but she’s sold $850 million globally since 2003. Who is buying this stuff? Was it on major clearance? Whatever the case, now Dion is releasing a new scent named “Signature” which will also debut in September. Although, this isn’t actually a scent, it’s referred to as a “juice”. That doesn’t sound appealing at all! The ‘juice’ contains hints of mimosa, pink lady apple and wood to name a few of its many ingredients.

Sorry but Celine Dion doesn’t scream sexy and romantic to me and I’d much rather have a man wearing Tom Ford’s scents over David Beckham’s cologne. Now when it comes to fragrances, perhaps choosing a scent from a brand is a safer, less embarrassing, call then a celebrity product? So then when people ask what you’re wearing you don’t have to sheepishly respond with Celine Dion. Therefore, designer labels Givenchy and BCBG Max Azria aren’t letting celebrities have all the fun are also making news with the release of their scents.

Givenchy and creative director Riccardo Tisci are releasing their first fragrance together, “Dahlia Noir” which will be available come August.  ”It was about a woman that represents my style,” Tisci said of the fragrance. The scent will be positioned in the high end category with an accompanying ad campaign shot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott featuring model and muse Mariacarla Boscono.

What do you think? Are these scents stinky or delightful?

Thanks to Katy Perry, we’ve all had the lyrics “Baby, you’re a firework” stuck in our heads this summer. Her music is catchy and playful just like her awesome style. Whether she’s dressing in theme or being herself, Katy has a knack for taking on new characters. Her current role has been transforming into a catwoman for her fragrance, Purr by Katy Perry.

The notes in the fragrance totally reflect Katy’s vivaciousness. Expect to experience essences of peach nectar and forbidden apple with green bamboo. There are also hints of jasmine blossom, pink freesia, and Bulgarian rose.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to finally introduce me in a bottle. There is a wonderful world of fragrances out there, but like with my music, I believe there is room for me and my own unique twist on it. Purr is a natural extension of who I am as a woman – it’s a gorgeous blend of all my favorite scents that embodies my style, my tastes and my love for all things incredibly cute. It is an absolutely purrfect perfume that I hope leaves you meowing with delight!” explains Perry.

How fun! And now for the even cooler part…the scent can be yours!

If there is one idea that actress Eva Mendes doesn’t seem to follow it’s “leaving a little to the imagination.” Is it just me or does it seem like Mendes strips down for almost every editorial or ad campaign? And I mean, who is to blame her- she’s gorgeous with a rocking bod.

According to WWD, things have changed because Clarins has just signed Mendes for Thierry Mugler’s Angel fragrance. The preview of the ad features a very sensual Eva…fully clothed… in a beautiful gown. Shot by Inez van Lansweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, the campaign is set to run in September.

Is there anything that 17 year old Justin Bieber can’t do?! He’s graced multiple magazine covers, while also launching a nail polish collection, scented dog tags and came in third on Forbe’s “Celebrity 100 List”…wild, I know.

Now, his latest product to launch is his fragrance titled “Someday”. What’s even more hilarious? The commercial for it. Could Justin be thinking of launching an acting career? (Let’s hope not.) Check it out below.

First of all, that chick looks way too old to be Bieb’s boo…and secondly, doesn’t Justin remind you of Tinkerbell? Or rather, Peter Pan…think Julia Roberts in the 1991 film “Hook”. The music is terrible, like his shoes…And does anyone else find the splicing of images to be annoying? Not going to lie though, I am curious about what the scent actually smells like…just kidding.

With stripes, color blocking, and school girl style being all the rage this season, it’s no surprise that the preppy trend has been making its way back into the mainstream. Brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren have been creating preppy looks for years and now Vera Wang, with a little help from Zoe Kravitz, has gotten in on the action. With the debut of the fragrance, “Vera Wang Preppy Princess”  the designer’s brand is capturing a youthful market with her luscious, woody, fruity scent that blends succulent red berries, honeysuckle and sensual woods.

The eclectic feminine, but edgy perfume is perfect for girls of all ages and is made for princesses that are “born to rule.” Okay, we know that last line was slightly cheesy, but the fragrance actually smells really good and isn’t overwhelming…besides anything made for women that are “born to rule” is cool in our books. The ad campaign has that whole prep school aesthetic that makes us nostalgic of our school days. We love it, so much so, that we’re hosting a giveaway!

Contest:

Two of our amazing readers will win the Vera Wang Preppy Princess fragrance (3.4 oz retail $75).

[April 27, editor update]: A new image from the Portofino fragrance ad campaign has been released and in Tom Ford fashion this shot is even more sexual than the last two.

Is there anything the Kardashian clan won’t do for a little attention? First it was the super dramatic Christmas family photo and then it was Khloé in some sort of weird and seemingly uncomfortable S&M get-up.

Now, as if the recent debut of the Biebs scented dog tags wasn’t bad enough, lovebirds Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom have released their own scent titled “Unbreakable”…Let’s just hope this stands for the future of their marriage as well hmmm? According to WWD, the couple are the first to launch a unisex perfume…why I ask? And what will it smell like? Obviously more masculine for Kardashian and feminine for Odom (I’m only half kidding here…). And really is there such thing as a happy medium for a unisex fragrance? “Unbreakable by Khloé and Lamar” has notes of nutmeg, bergamot, orange, geranium, jasmine, dark chocolate, cedarwood, amber, sandalwood and musk.

Watch the video below as the duo convinces you that the perfect unisex scent does exist…(yeah, it launched in 1994, ever heard of CK One by Calvin Klein?)

If you can’t take their latest beauty adventure serious don’t look at the ads for convincing because they too are equally hilarious. The campaign shot by Walter Chin features the couple in a series of silly and sultry (eh maybe) shots…May we add that the timing couldn’t be better for the two, as the fragrance has been released in time with the launch of their new show for E! which premieres this Sunday night. Clever, clever Khloé and Lamar…

I always look forward to the first of each month…for me, it’s like a clean slate…new goals are set and ready to be met. However, I can also say that I am huge fan of April Fools Day  because anyone who knows me, also knows that I will fall for just about everything (call my gullibility a weakness, I know)…

There were “rumors” of the release of scented dog-tags from the Justin Bieber empire but leave it to trusty WWD to confirm it…Yes, it’s true…the “Bieber Fever” has officially become a plague as the teeny bopper is planning to launch his own set of fragrances…And hey why not? Everyone else in the music business is doing it, including Riri….According to WWD the plan began when Bieber and Etoile Nation Beauty got together and launched the My World Collection of scented dog tags and wristbands (exclusively at Wal-Mart). Since then they have chosen to expand their collection with two new designs, One Less Lonely Girl and Never Say Never. The new additions — infused with a pomegranate fragrance — will be available for $10 each at CVS and FYE stores within the next few days.

Oh, but wait! There’s more (to this joke)…Biebs is also planning on launching his personal line of dog tags infused with fragrances. What and why?! Want one? It will come at a cost as customized ones start at $100 (yeek). I don’t know about you but I can think of a lot of other cool things that say ‘I love you’ instead of a scented dog-tag. First nail polishes and now this!? Considering Biebs is known for his tresses I thought hair products would be first…guess I was wrong, maybe it was too obvious?

Want to know what the fancy-schmancy dog tags will look like? Check Biebs rocking them in his latest video below titled “That Should Be Me” featuring Rascal Flatts.

Who is that Parisian actress injecting herself with YSL’s perfume? Apparently Yves Saint Laurent’s newest scent, Belle D’Opium is causing quite the stir in the UK. According to The DailyMail, the British Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has announced a ban on the TV commercial on the grounds that it was irresponsible. The video stars French actress, Melanie Thierry interpretively conveying the perfume’s effects through dance.

Thierry’s artistic moves loosely emulate how a woman will feel when smelling the Belle D’Opium fragrance. The only uber-taboo shot (in my opinion) is when she points at her vain, hinting at an injection. The video’s choreographer, Akram Khan responded to these accusations by saying the movements were meant to ‘represent the flow of energy in Belle’s body, to represent the roads that led to desire or passion’. Uhh…I’m not so sure about that… the video does have its fair dose of sexuality, but with the word Opium in the title it’s very easy to cite drug references.

You be the judge…Do you think this fragrance commercial is too hot for TV?
