OK, so you can’t win a cupcake-covered Katy Perry or wig-wearing Nicki Minaj to have in your home, but you can nab miniature versions of the superstars in a new charitybuzz.com auction, running through Monday, Dec. 19.

The lovely ladies were each recently turned into Barbie dolls, and their mini-mes are part of a fundraiser for the L.A.-based charity Project Angel Food, which provides nutritious meals to men and women affected by HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.

Katy Perry Goes Back to Blonde … Almost

Katy Perry‘s hair has had a bit of an identity crisis this year, but it seems that for now, the California Gurl has settled on a semi-permanent color: blonde with lavender highlights.

Perry popped up at the David Lynch Foundation’s Change Begins Within benefit celebration in Los Angeles on Saturday sporting a chic new bob, which replaces the long lavender locks she’s sported for months. With her California Dreams tour over, it seems the singer is ready for a change.

Katy Perry’s Meow! Fragrance Is ‘More Edible’ — But Don’t Eat It!

She’s spent the past year on tour in a world covered with peppermints and cotton candy, and that saccharine inspiration has found its way into Katy Perry‘s new scent Meow!, in Nordstrom stores this week.

“The first fragrance (Purr) was more floral, by a long while, and this one is a lot more edible,” she told reporters last week during a launch event in New York City. “It’s the perfect snapshot of where my head is right now, especially being on tour,” during which her team pumps wafts of cotton candy into the arenas each night.

The scent features notes of honeysuckle and pear, with a base of vanilla, musk and amber. Prices range from $45 for a 1.7-oz. bottle to $65 for a 3.4-oz. spray.

The design of the pink, cat-shaped bottle was inspired in part by Perry’s youth. “I grew up going to flea markets, and all the vintage stores and the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles,” she explained. “I’d always look for milk glass — that beautiful, vintage milk glass that held candles, or salt and pepper. I definitely wanted to use it for Meow!.”

Taylor Swift and Katy Perry’s Glam AMA Looks: All the Details

Taylor Swift and Katy Perry were two big winners last night at the American Music Awards — not to mention, two belles of the ball. The singers — and close friends — sported flawless skin and eyes and lips that totally popped. So we talked to their makeup artists to get the scoop on their clean looks — and how you can emulate them at home.

“The American Music Awards show itself was the inspiration for Taylor’s look,” makeup artist Lorrie Turk tells PEOPLE. “I wanted to reflect the youthful, fun vibe of this event. I wanted her stunning, youthful complexion to really stand out.”

Turk first used a foundation brush to smooth CoverGirl’s Natureluxe Silk Foundation onto Swift’s skin. She applied concealer on the inner corners of her eyes, and used CG TruBlend Minerals Blush in Shimmering Sands on the singer’s cheeks. (Swift is one of CoverGirl’s celebrity spokesmodels.)

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.

Madonna, Katy Perry Talk New Scents

Two major singers, two major new scents. Madonna and Katy Perry are both one the verge of releasing new fragrances — Madge’s first, the California Gurl’s second — and both recently sat down with WWD to talk bottles, botanicals and more.

“I have always been obsessed by fragrance and for years wanted to create something personal that was an expression of me, but that other people could relate to as well,” Madonna tells WWD. “Something classical and timeless and yet modern.” Recalling the perfume her mother wore — which smelled like gardenias and tuberose — the singer say she wanted to “recreate this scent, but with something fresh and new about it as well.”
