Though the rest of us may never wear jeweled corsets and red-soled pointe shoes like Dita Von Teese, the burlesque superstar is hoping to share a bit of her experience with the world, bringing her fragrance and lingerie collections to HSN March 17.
“I’m a bit of a fragrance and lingerie snob,” Von Teese tells PEOPLE of her decision to market her lines to a wider audience on HSN. “Every woman should have luxury in her everyday life.”

Mariah Carey Dreams may be the superstar‘s twelfth fragrance, but she still considers herself a novice at her second-favorite profession. “I humbly call myself a ‘perfumer-in-training’ because I love it so much,” she tells PEOPLE exclusively in a statement. “Almost as much as I love making music!”
“The process of creating a fragrance is exhilarating and it takes me to another place within my creative self,” Carey says of her latest perfume, which is housed in a bottle shaped like a champagne flute as “a tribute to Carey’s festive nature,” according to a press release.
Dreams’ signature scents include notes of Madagascar vanilla, honeysuckle and salted caramel apple that are meant to reflect different stages of Carey’s life. “Mariah Carey Dreams helps tell my story,” Carey shares. “The different scents derive … from childhood to performing on the world’s stage, to being in love, to feeling loved.”
Want to get your hands on what Carey calls a “classic and exciting fragrance?” You can pick it up exclusively at Kohl’s stores starting in April, with prices starting at $39. And keep an eye out for Carey’s next big project: a new album, which she’s working on now.

Jennifer Lopez hasn’t rocked a bedazzled bandana in quite some time, but that doesn’t mean she’s abandoned her “Jenny from the Block” look altogether. Just ask her stylists, Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, who still see some Fly Girl in the fashion plate.
“We call her Bronx Barbie!” Zangardi and Haenn tell PEOPLE. “Jen’s style is consistently bold and feminine yet timeless and sophisticated, with little influences of N.Y.C. street style,” hence the moniker.
Along with revealing Lopez’s nickname (which we plan to use from now on), the duo also explain why J.Lo’s been wearing so much white lately — and it has nothing to do with a wedding anytime soon. “Because her coloring is so honey-toned, neutrals tend to make her really shine,” Zangardi and Haenn say.

“I also would like to put an official ban on celebrity fragrances. Punishable by death from this point forward.” So Tweeted Adam Levine in March 2011. We have to assume he’s changed his mind, however, because he just released his first eponymous perfume line, including a women’s and men’s scent.
What made him repeal his official death sentence for celebrity perfumers? “I wouldn’t have been able to do this if I didn’t have the creative control,” he told PEOPLE at the line’s launch in L.A. on Wednesday. “Otherwise it would have wound up being something that I didn’t endorse, and I’d be stuck standing here feeling like an a**hole.”

He makes girls (and let’s admit it, grown women) everywhere scream, but Justin Bieber isn’t always so super-smooth.
In this cute, just-released gag reel from his recent Macy’s commercial shoot, the pop star makes more than a few mistakes — and gets pretty darn goofy — as he tries to promote his perfume, Girlfriend. He even gives stage direction, telling one actor, “Don’t smile like that, bro,” before yelling at Santa Claus. Watch the singer share some laughs in the clip above.
