She’s a California Gurl with a heart-shaped dress — and a pretty big heart, too. Katy Perry is one of many stars joining forces with eBay for eBay.com/celebrity, a new portal where memorabilia-seekers can bid on amazing experiences and items, all to support a variety of worthy causes.

Perry, one of the first to pop up on eBay.com/celebrity, is auctioning a dress worn on her California Dreams tour: a red-and-pink Swarovski-studded cotton candy pouf, which she’ll give to the winner during a backstage meet-and-greet before her Nov. 21 concert in Oakland. (At press time, bidding was up to $8,100.) VIP tickets are included, too, and proceeds benefit the American Red Cross.

Additional items available now include works of art by Jeff Bridges (up to $2,250); a meeting with Brad Pitt (currently at $10,000); and Sienna Miller‘s snakeskin boots (more affordable at $256). Proceeds from each item will benefit a myriad of charities, including Pitt’s Make It Right and Share Our Strength — No Kid Hungry, an organization selected by Bridges. Christina Aguilera and Robert Duvall are next up, with offerings coming soon.

Angelina Jolie Makes a Statement with New Jewelry Collaboration

Angelina Jolie Designs Jewelry Collection for a Cause
Flynet

Angelina Jolie is once again putting her celebrity power to good use, this time lending her glamorous and elegant touch to a charitable jewelry collection. The A-list actress has teamed with jeweler and former Asprey CEO Robert Procop of Robert Procop Exceptional Jewels to design jaw-dropping pendants, rings and more, all centered around statement stones. “Angelina has very classic style. These are pieces she wears herself,” Procop, who has been designing pieces for Angelina for the past decade, tells WWD of the collection. Angelina even wore one of the pieces, a black spinel necklace bezel set in rose gold, to the Berlin premiere of Salt earlier this year. And just like the $10,000 cufflink collection that she and husband Brad Pitt designed for Asprey last year, the proceeds from the latest line will benefit her charity, the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict. While the stunning assortment of exceptional pieces will not be sold in stores, they will be made available privately to Procop’s clients. A holiday gift that gives back to those in need? Sounds to us like the perfect luxe stocking stuffer. –Jessie Goldberg

VOTE! Brad Pitt Shaves His Beard: What’s His Best Look?

Jon Furniss/WireImag; Flynet

It looks like Brad Pitt is finally cleaning up his act. The superstar, who started trimming his year-old facial hair a month ago, was snapped on the set of his new movie Moneyball in Los Angeles Monday completely clean shaven! And while Pitt had famously dispelled rumors that he’d been growing the facial hair for a movie role, telling the U.K. newspaper Sun, “It’s boredom. No other reason that that.” It was this new role, as Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane, that finally led the 46-year-old star to buzz it all off. While we were starting to get used to the rugged look, we’re certainly glad to see Pitt’s shining good looks come out from under all that hair. Tell us: Are you happy that Brad Pitt buzzed off his facial hair? Or did you like the bearded look? Vote!

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Design $10,000 Cufflinks For a Cause!

In case you’re searching for the Father’s Day gift to end all Father’s Day gifts: Renaissance power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have unveiled their first men’s design for venerable British jewelry house Asprey. As part of jeweler’s limited-edition Protector collection, Angelina and Brad have designed a pair of diamond cufflinks, available at Asprey stores now. Sharing the same serpent-inspired motif as the rest of the collection (snakes were a symbolic guardian talisman during the actress’s first pregnancy), the 18k white gold cufflinks are encrusted with elegant black diamonds and punctuated with emerald snake eyes. As much a philanthropic gift as a fashion statement, the cufflinks retail for a cool $10,000, with 100% of net proceeds going to the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict (EPCC), a charitable organization co-founded by Jolie. The collection also includes a jewelled ring and bracelets, as well as children’s items like a tooth box and silver egg cup.

Hollywood Sounds Off On Pitt and Clooney’s Controversial Facial Hair

It seems like everyone has something to say about the facial hair that has taken over the faces of two of PEOPLE’s Sexiest Men Alive. Brad Pitt’s beard has been growing through the winter, while his pal George Clooney kicked off award season with the new look. Eli Roth, who appears with Pitt in Inglourious Basterds, thinks his co-star’s beard is amazing. “That’s like a professional beard,” said Roth at the Critics’ Choice Awards in Hollywood Friday night. “Only Brad can pull off a beard like that.” Meanwhile, Melanie Lynskey, who appears with Clooney in Up In The Air, says she hadn’t seen his new beard but wanted to check it out. “He’s not going to look bad,” she tells PEOPLE. “He could bleach his hair blonde and he wouldn’t look bad!” Another guy whose looks can’t be diminished by facial hair is Jon Hamm, according to Mad Men creator Matt Weiner. “He can get rid of it and grow it again in an afternoon,” Weiner joked about Hamm, who plays the dapper Don Draper. “I told him that he looks like GI Joe, which is quite a compliment. There’s nothing you can do to make that guy look bad, let me tell you.” Vote now on which leading man wears his facial hair best! – Elaine Aradillas

Johnny Depp Heads Up GQ’s Picks For Most Stylish Guys On The Planet

PatrickDeMarchelier/GQ

Johnny Depp appears smiling, tattooed, and bare-chested on the cover of February’s GQ, and even unclothed, makes the magazine’s list of the 25 most stylish men in the world for 2010. In the accompanying article, Barney’s creative director Simon Doonan sums up why, explaining, “Johnny Depp’s a unicorn—a really glamorous, one-of-a-kind eccentric. He wears great man jewelry. He doesn’t shy away from color. He’s always peeking through his amazing hair. It doesn’t matter if Johnny Depp’s lying in a ditch—he’s always going to look incredible.” Despite their completely divergent aesthetics, fellow Brits Robert Pattinson, Russell Brand, and David Beckham all share the style honors, along with Brad Pitt, Jay-Z and Clint Eastwood, who received a special accolade as “Hall of Famer.” The February issue of GQ hits newsstands nationwide on January 26, but in the meantime, head to gq.com for more and vote for your pick for most stylish guy.

From Goatees to Full Facial Hair: Are Beards the New Leading Man Must-Have?

When Brad Pitt first grew in his now infamous goatee, we thought surely it was for a part — or just a personal quirk. But with Hollywood’s hottest hunks sporting everything from Robert Downey Jr.’s neatly trimmed goatee to George Clooney‘s silver scruff to Jon Hamm’s full-out beard, we can see now that Brad was really starting a trend! Clearly this crop of stars is so good-looking that even the worst facial hair couldn’t dim their appeal, but we worry for lesser men if this trend continues. Let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to just see these guys in all of their clean-shaven glory? Or maybe that’s just our taste. Tell us: Should these guys keep their beards or do you prefer them clean-shaven?
