Who hasn’t dreamed of strolling by the Eiffel Tower at night with Justin Timberlake? While we may not get to experience it firsthand, we will soon see it on TV. Timberlake, spokesperson for Givenchy’s Play, has been in Paris this week secretly filming his first commercial spot for the luxury manufacturer’s men’s fragrance. Beginning at midnight for two nights, the singer has been shooting what one source describes to PEOPLE as “a romantic adventure. This storyline has Justin and his girlfriend (an unidentified actress) come running across the grass of the Champs de Mars to the Tower. They make their way into the Tower through the South entrance and up the staircases to the first level. There, he strolls the balustrades overlooking the city and playfully climbs the girders of the Tower. Those last scenes, will be done on the second level,” source addeds, “and by stuntmen.” The spot is Justin’s first for ‘Play’ fragrance, Givenchy tells PEOPLE, and the 60-second spot will debut on European television only “beginning early 2010.” During an all-night Thursday morning shoot, early risers caught Justin in a tuxedo and soft hat still filming at dawn in the arc-lit gardens at 7 a.m. surrounded by a 40-50 person crew. “Our storyboard shows 30 different set ups (camera positions and angles),” one filmmaker told PEOPLE, “so there’ll be a lot of moving about. He works quickly though…” Not quickly enough — we can’t wait to see the finished product! –Peter Mikelbank

Fergie’s new Avon fragrance hasn’t been named yet, but it already has hubby and actor Josh Duhamel’s stamp of approval. The Black Eyed Peas singer talked about the “fresh and yet modern” scent she’s been developing for the beauty giant, which is launching in November 2010. “We’ve been designing this for over a year,” said Fergie, who performed at the Avon Foundation for Women benefit held at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York on Tuesday, about her first-ever scent. “But I’ve been keeping my big mouth shut about it. I wanted it to smell fresh and yet modern at the same time…it’s definitely for confident, strong women.” And what exactly does Josh think about the fragrance? “He loved it…of course he does,” she said, adding, “I just made sure that he liked it, because that would be important.” Looking happy and content in a feathered Valentino dress, the newlywed (the two married on Jan. 10) described married life as “wonderful.” “I am happy,” she told PEOPLE. “I just saw him. We had a romantic rendezvous in Oklahoma City, because I’ve been on tour with U2, so he came to visit me there. And I’m going to go visit him on the set of his film Life as We Know It with Katherine Heigl.” –reporting by Jeffrey Slonim

Can you package the joie-de-vivre of Sex and the City’s ultra-fashionable Carrie Bradshaw in a bottle? Coty Prestige plans to do just that with the launch of Sarah Jessica Parker’s newest fragrance, SJP NYC, following on the stiletto heels of her two enormously successful fragrances Lovely and Covet. In an interview with WWD, Parker says that the fruity floral scent will be a “party in a bottle,” influenced primarily by her character, Miss Bradshaw. “A large part of the inspiration was what I now understand to be people’s impressions of seeing Carrie Bradshaw walk down the street and what feelings that evokes for her and for them — a real sense of freedom and possibilities, a love for the city around her and, of course, fashion,” Parker told WWD. SJP NYC, with top notes of Italian mandarin, white osmanthus and wild red strawberries, will arrive exclusively in Macy’s stores in February, just in time to get fans excited for the May release of the second SATC film. The packaging was designed to look like Bradshaw’s famously over-stuffed closet — featuring a simple glass bottle encased in a reusable canister and topped with a hot pink cap. The fragrance collection will include eau de toilette in three sizes as well as a body lotion, priced between $25-$49. A cuff bracelet with solid perfume will debut in May.
