Mary J. Blige’s fragrance collection is blossoming! The iconic singer will be returning to HSN on Aug. 13 to launch her second fragrance, My Life Blossom, a follow up to her wildly successful first fragrance, My Life, which sold 60,000 units six hours after its release.

“My Life Blossom is a fresh beautiful fragrance with notes of mandarin and tuberose,” the singer tells PEOPLE. “It’s light and positive, the true embodiment of self-love and clarity. It represents the blossom that me and my fans have gone through.”

The fragrance, $55 per bottle, will launch exclusively on HSN during Blige’s Aug. 13 appearance; after the show, it will be available on HSN.com. And for every bottle purchased, one dollar will be donated to FFAWN, the Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now, a charity Blige founded to help women in need through scholarships, grants and other aid programs.

Sofia Vergara Is Always In Search of the ‘Perfect Bra’

Sofia Vergara embraces her sexy curves, but that doesn’t mean they don’t cause problems sometimes. “I’m always in search of the perfect bra,” she laments in the September issue of Redbook. “I’ll find one, wear it for a long time, and they’ll discontinue it. It’s the story of my life!”

Luckily, the rest of Vergara’s life is somewhat charmed. A native of Colombia, she’s now a megastar thanks to Modern Family, and recently inked a deal with CoverGirl cosmetics. She landed a spot on PEOPLE’s “Most Beautiful” list, too. “It’s fantastic, because I’m almost 40 years old and they still put me on these lists of beautiful women,” she says. “How can I even be in a list with girls who are 15 years younger than me? My son, Manolo, laughs at that.”

Despite that, Vergara, who also stars in this summer’s Smurfs movie, is embracing her new role as a style and beauty icon. The actress rarely leaves home in flats, preferring heels — “It’s like a little immediate plastic surgery; immediate liposuction,” she says — and lives for big bold earrings since they “distract from any imperfections.”

She sported some exquisite gowns for her stint on Dancing with the Stars, but model Petra Nemcova will wear her most memorable dress yet when she walks down the aisle next year to marry fiancé Jamie Belman. Nemcova recently told U.K.’s The Telegraph that she has chosen Marchesa, a brand she’s been known to wear in the past, to create her custom wedding gown.

Details of the dress remain under wraps for now, but the bride-to-be expressed her excitement about the final product. “I can’t wait to see what she will create,” she said of head designer Georgina Chapman. “We still have one year to prepare so we are working on the other details.” Nemcova said she and Belman, a British actor, will tie the knot next year in the English countryside.

Bold & Beautiful? Kate Bosworth’s Tie-Dyed Do

Kate Bosworth is taking the breakup blues to a new level by rocking turquoise-tinged strands.

Following the lead of fellow singleton Lauren Conrad, the star debuted the new hue Wednesday night, weeks after her split from Alexander Skarsgard. But unlike Conrad, Bosworth’s look is more overt, calling to mind the graduated dip-dye from Proenza Scouler’s spring 2010 runway show. Always the trendsetter, could she be taking the high-fashion look mainstream?

As it turns out, the actress dyed her hair for a photo shoot earlier in the day. BeautyHigh.com reports that Bosworth let stylist Luke Chamberlain color her locks, instead of adding extensions, as he’d intended.

When the contestants of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette decide to put their hearts on the line by joining the show, they usually do so with suitcases full of sparkling dresses and show-stopping date looks in tow. And now, the stars from seasons past are auctioning off several of those memorable items — all in the name of charity.

From Aug. 5-12, luxury consignment service eDrop-Off will auction items from more than 25 former contestants, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting the American Red Cross. Pieces include the frock Trista Sutter wore on her first date with now-husband Ryan Sutter (center); the dress Molly Malaney Mesnick wore to her first rose ceremony, where she met new hubby Jason Mesnick; a gown Sarah Brice wore when getting engaged to Charlie O’Connell (left); and Ed Swiderski’s infamous green shorts.

Emily Maynard — who recently endured a public split from fiancé Brad Womack — also donated a dress (right) and Bachelorette bride-to-be Ashley Hebert is auctioning off a top she just wore in Fiji.
