WATCH: Kate Walsh Joins the High Rollers with Billionaire Boyfriend Fragrance

Forget that first ex-boyfriend — Kate Walsh is on to bigger and better guys. The Private Practice star is trading up with her new fragrance, Billionaire Boyfriend, the second in her “Boyfriend” series of scents.

“The idea was always luxe,” Walsh tells PEOPLE. “It’s kind of a throwback to times when things were just sexy and romantic, and that fantasy of James Bond movies, Monte Carlo, driving down the coast in a sports car … la dolce vita.”

The fragrance mixes feminine and masculine notes of black jasmine amber, fruits of bergamot, tangerine, orchid, gardenia and sandalwood to create a super-rich scent. “It’s yummy,” Walsh says. “For people familiar with the original Boyfriend, they’ll recognize it in the bottom notes, but with the additions of a big, bad floral.”

They may as well call it ‘Bella By Starlight.’

Balenciaga has signed Twilight actress Kristen Stewart as a spokesperson for its perfume line, the Paris fashion house has confirmed to PEOPLE. Stewart’s still-unnamed fragrance and campaign are expected to launch in the fall.

“I love Balenciaga fashion because it’s incredibly forceful, yet feminine and sexy,” Stewart says in a release. “I found out there was a real creative freedom about this project. I feel blessed and really proud of being the face of this new fragrance.”

“Kristen embodies the modernity of the new Balenciaga fragrance with her unique sensibility and intelligence,” designer Nicolas Ghesquière, who first worked with the actress in a 2006 Bruce Weber shoot, tells WWD. Since that time, he adds, “I’ve always wished to collaborate with her further, knowing that she shares the radical spirit of Balenciaga.”

Will Katy Perry Launch a Men’s Fragrance?

She had great success with her first scent, Purr, and her latest perfume, Meow!, just hit stores last month. So is a men’s fragrance next on Katy Perry‘s to-do list?

“I’m not sure,” she told reporters Wednesday during a promotional event at The Grove in Los Angeles. “I think I really know how to do female-related things. It might be a little more tricky to do a men’s fragrance. But maybe.”

So that’s not a no? “I don’t want to say no to anything,” she continued. “Just like Justin Bieber says, ‘Never say never.’ So maybe one day. For right now, I’m just doing Meow!.”

Sadly that means hubby Russell Brand will be left to buy his own colognes — unless he steals a spritz of Meow!. “I don’t know if he necessarily wears it,” she joked, “but I wouldn’t mind if he did. I would not judge him.”

What’s on Taylor Swift’s Christmas List?

With her Speak Now tour over, Taylor Swift is enjoying some downtime in Nashville, catching up with family, reconnecting with friends — and creating homemade snow globes.

“That was my first time making snow globes out of mason jars, antique Christmas trinkets and glitter,” she tells PEOPLE of her recent holiday experiment. “I found out how to do it on Pinterest. It made for a lovely winter activity day — [it] made me feel like a little kid again.”

From the sounds of it, Swift — who turns 22 today — will spend a lot of time reflecting on her childhood this season, considering her favorite family tradition is trimming “a big Christmas tree” with ornaments she and brother Austin made as kids. “It’s so nostalgic,” she says, “looking back at all the Christmases past and comparing them to how different our lives are now.”

“Now” means living life as a recording artist, being a recipient of CMT’s “Artist of the Year” award Tuesday night and releasing her first fragrance, Wonderstruck. “It turned out to be something I wear every day, and I’m so proud of how well it’s done,” she says of the scent. “I love it when people come up to me and tell me they wear it every day.”

That’s Hot! Keith Urban Picks a Steamy Commercial Contest Winner

Sex sells! After running a month-long contest to find the perfect commercial for his first fragrance, Phoenix, Keith Urban picked the winner recently, a steamy commercial by Littleton, Colo., resident Eric Noffsinger.

The 30-second spot, set to Urban’s song “Raining on Sunday,” stars actress Julie Lundy, who strips down and then suits back up in her boyfriend’s shirt, which carries the scent of Phoenix. It’s almost as sexy as the spoof Urban filmed with Ellen DeGeneres in October. (Kidding!)
