New week, new haircuts! Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus both changed up their hairstyles (again) last week, sharing photos of their new looks on Twitter.

Lovato — a natural brunette who was most recently a redhead — went blonde Saturday. “Thank you SO much Nine Zero One salon for my new locks,” she wrote, asking fans for feedback. They must’ve liked the look: later that day, she Tweeted, “Haha Demi Blondevato is a trending topic?!! Y’all are funny!”

Cyrus’s change was a bit more subtle: the singer, who took five inches off of her hair last month, went a bit shorter and added some face-framing layers. Her Tweet of “You likey?” was met with compliments like “fab” and “beautiful” from adoring followers.

We love both ladies’ new looks, but want to hear what you think. Tell us: Do you like Lovato and Cyrus’s new dos?

Jennifer Lopez‘s skin sure is glowing in her new fragrance ad — we know, because we can see it all. The sexy singer and American Idol judge strikes a daring pose — in the buff — for her new fragrance (her 18th!), Glowing.

“Glowing is such a clean fragrance,” she tells WWD of the scent, a follow-up to her first fragrance, Glow. “That’s what I’ve always been about. I like soapy, clean smells. This is a very woodsy scent. So it’s not exactly what I created 10 years ago — it’s the evolution of that.”

Describing Glowing as “earthy, clean and real,” Lopez says the fragrance is “kind of New York-y, darker and sexier.” It contains notes of cypress, orange flower, cassia flower, vanilla and cashmere musk, and as a special treat, the eau de parfum bottles light up for 15 seconds when spritzed. “We’re in the history making business, baby,” Lopez says, laughing.

Leave it to Madonna‘s daughter to try a cool new look! Lourdes Leon stepped out on her way to school in New York Thursday, sporting a funky new half-shaved do. The stylish 15-year-old — who’s had long dark hair forever — had her hair up in a bun, bringing extra attention to the edgy style.

Leon hasn’t made drastic changes to her hair before, though she’s toyed with the idea. “I want royal blue hair but not a streak, like my entire head,” the teen designer wrote on her blog in December of 2010.

But at the time, she wasn’t so sure she’d get away with the change. “I read this blog aloud to my mother,” she continued, “and she is sitting here staring at me with no expression on her face, as if she doesn’t approve of it!” Wonder if Madonna gave this cut the OK? Tell us: What do you think of Leon’s look?

Fergie is continuing her foray into the glamorous life with yet another fab gig: the Black Eyed Peas frontwoman is the first-ever face of Wet n Wild. The brand announced the partnership on Friday; the singer will star in a series of campaigns beginning later this year.

“I’m someone who goes from light neutrals during the day to some really dramatic looks at night for the red carpet,” Fergie tells PEOPLE. “I love that I can find all of these colors with Wet n Wild. Plus, the company and I come from the same [California] hometown!”

In addition to serving as a brand ambassador, Fergie will launch some signature Wet n Wild products, too. “I think the brand is a realistic beauty buy for every woman out there,” she explains. “It’s beauty for all. It’s on-trend, it’s affordable and it’s easily accessible.”

The star will shoot her first campaign photos in March, and will wear Wet n Wild products to Sunday night’s Grammy Awards. “[Fergie's] versatility and range is perfectly aligned with Wet n Wild,” the company’s COO, Bill George, says in a release. “She has the unique ability to go from hip, edgy and sexy to red-carpet glamorous.

When it came to partnering with Coty to create the ultimate perfume, Roberto Cavalli was primed for the challenge.

“I was waiting a long time to have such a special fragrance,” he told PEOPLE recently. “I spent a lot of time to create something that I really like.”

Sitting low in his chair, and surrounded by lanky employees with thick Italian accents, the storied designer detailed whittling the scent down to three key ingredients. “At the beginning they gave me a lot of small bottles and I didn’t know which one to choose because one was too sweet and the other one was too …” he trailed off. Clearly, creating a fragrance is hard work.

Comprised of a trifecta of harmonious scents — orange flower, roasted Tonka bean and peppercorn for a spicy note — the eponymous scent was created as a tongue-in-cheek homage to the designer’s late mother.

Best known for her spitfire sense of humor and otherworldly good looks, Olivia Wilde’s stay-gorgeous routine is surprisingly girl-next-door.

“[I wash] and moisturize my face with drugstore brands like Cetaphil and CeraVe,” she tells PEOPLE.

And when that newly lopped do becomes a hassle, the TRON star looks to easy solutions. “I’m into cool stretchy headbands,” she says. “I throw it up and try to make it look interesting and put on a headband and then it looks like it was all intentional.”

While her beauty basics are decidedly simple, Wilde’s fitness routine runs the gamut from the serious to the silly. “I need kind of Ashtanga, like good, serious yoga,” she explains. “I never feel more beautiful than after I’ve really spent some time breathing.”
