Justin Bieber’s haircut? Old news! The new crop heard ’round the world is Johnny Depp‘s suddenly smooth face, which he revealed after months of sporting scraggly scruff. Arriving at Narita Airport for the Tokyo premiere of his film The Tourist this week, Depp wore his trademark hat, shades and layers of scarves and necklaces, but the pronounced mustache and beard he’s been sporting were noticeably absent. Miss the longer beard? Don’t worry — the actor’s fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film, in which his facial hair is long (and braided!), is out in May. Tell us: Do you like Depp better scruffy or smooth? –Alex Apatoff

You glow, girl! Rihanna is bringing her talents to a new kind of gig as an official voice of Nivea. The singer has teamed up with the brand to celebrate their 100-year anniversary in true superstar style — right down to the bare-shouldered photo she shot for the campaign. And while most details of the partnership are still being kept under wraps, a representative for the brand confirms to PEOPLE that the singer will make her official debut with them in May to coincide with the kick-off of Nivea’s centennial anniversary celebration and start of her ‘Loud’ world tour, which Nivea is also sponsoring. As part of her role, the singer will also lead an interactive social media campaign. “We are excited to have Rihanna supporting us in our celebration and building a new generation of fans,” Nivea’s Markus Pinger said in a statement. –Katherine Kluznik Rentmeester

Lady Gaga Rocks the Runway in Mugler Fashion Show

She didn’t need a meat dress or futuristic egg to grab attention at the Mugler fashion show in Paris Wednesday night: Lady Gaga worked the catwalk with confidence and sex appeal. Hitting the runway in a sheer black minidress, sporting long blonde pigtails, the pop star was greeted by cheers from the stylish crowd, which included Vogue editor Anna Wintour. The autumn/winter 2011 womenswear collection — designed for the first time by the singer’s stylist, Nicola Formichetti — was presented in a public gym decked out with black curtains and white Gothic arches, as an unheard Gaga track, “Government Hooker,” premiered. Before the show, which was live-streamed via Mugler’s Facebook page, a nervous Gaga told pals, “I want people to see me walk and say, ‘She is a Mugler woman. Seriously, I’m so nervous.” But nerves weren’t an issue: after her initial appearance, the singer pulled a quick change and returned to the runway to close the show in an ethereal white gown and eight- or nine-inch heels as her latest single “Born This Way” blasted in the background. –Kate Hogan and Peter Mikelbank

Justin Bieber’s Hair Sells for $40,668 on eBay

Records, nail polish, movie tickets, hair: it’s official, Justin Bieber can sell anything. A lock of his freshly-chopped tresses, which he’d gifted to Ellen DeGeneres in a signed box the day after his much-buzzed-about cut, was put to auction on eBay last week, and today, sold for a whopping $40,668. The entire sum will be donated to animal rescue organization The Gentle Barn Foundation, per DeGeneres, and the winning bidder will get to meet the teen superstar the next time he appears on The Ellen Show. Bieber and DeGeneres shared a few silly Tweets leading up to his talk show appearance last week, with the host asking the singer to bring her a “surprise” when he visited. After receiving Bieber’s hair, DeGeneres immediately put it on eBay, and within an hour the bid was already up to $10,000. No word on who Wednesday’s winning bidder was just yet, but no doubt that today there’s one less lonely girl out there. –Kate Hogan

Eva Mendes Gets Great Calves as New Reebok EasyTone Ambassador

Watch out, Kim Kardashian! When it comes to fitness footwear, there’s some new competition in town. Eva Mendes is hitting the pavement as the spokesperson for Reebok’s EasyTone, the brand’s answer to the new trend in toning sneakers. “I’m a big walker, and I’m also a person that doesn’t always have time to go to the gym,” the actress told PEOPLE at a recent EasyTone photo shoot. “We all walk throughout the day. It’s just a great way to kind of get a workout while you’re doing your basic daily errands.” Mendes, who ran track on her high school and college teams, says she’s been a fan of Reebok since her teen years, when she rocked a pair of the brand’s pink hi-tops. But now, she’s moved past making a fashion statement, and instead appreciates the way the sneakers have shaped her lower legs. “Once you’re wearing them, you do feel your calves working,” she explains. “I love defined calves.” So how does the actress keep her well-loved EasyTones in tip-top shape? She keeps a pair in every color. “I have a lot,” she admits with a laugh. –Jessica Wedemeyer
