Jennifer Aniston’s first ad image for her new fragrance, Lolavie, is out, and it features the actress lounging on the beach in Cabo. She opened up to WWD about the process behind its creation and revealed that she’ll launch the perfume this Summer at Harrods in London with a special in-store appearance. It’s Jen’s first foray into creating a product, though the field of celebrity fragrances is certainly a crowded one. Jen discussed how she tried to make her scent unique, and she also touched on her career in film and aspirations to direct. She said:

•On the name Lolavie: “It’s a long story and honestly it’s too personal to tell. But it has special significance.”

•On controlling her public image: “I don’t think you can control that at the end of the day. You can’t stunt what you do to please or not please the public. And the media will create stories whether they are true or false. So why stop doing what makes you happy? Be true to yourself and everything else will follow.”

•On getting dramatic in her upcoming film Buttercup: “Obviously, I’m drawn to comedy, good or bad. But I love doing parts that are different and I sprinkle those throughout to get creatively unstuck.”

•On the possibility of directing: “I have a project in development I’m going to direct. After you get enough movies under your belt, you sit back and go, ‘What’s next?’ It’s getting to be the time where creatively I want to turn in a different direction.”

Could this summer mark the arrival of Eau de Die Hard or Armageddon Cologne?

According to WWD, actor Bruce Willis is adding the role of perfumer to his resumé, with a deal to create a men’s fragrance with German cosmetics company LR Health & Beauty Systems, which has also collaborated on perfumes with Heidi Klum and British singer Leona Lewis.

While details about the scent–due to debut in July–are scarce (including whether or not it will only be sold abroad or in the U.S.), the Twitterverse is already abuzz speculating about its name and what it will smell like.

Newly single Jennifer Love Hewitt ditched her bob for longer hair extensions while shopping in Beverly Hills Tuesday afternoon.

The actress, 31, chopped off her hair last month after announcing her split from boyfriend (and Ghost Whisperer costar) Jamie Kennedy.

Of her short, bouncy curls, Hewitt told UsMagazine.com, “I needed to feel lighter! We just finished season five of [Ghost Whisperer], and I was just ready for a change.”

She denied it was a post-breakup ‘do.

“I actually cut my hair before,” she told Us. “It’s just that I had to have long hair on the show, so I’d already done the haircut and we were just clipping in some pieces to keep it going. I just happened to finish filming and unveiled the haircut around the same time as the unveiling of the other news so now it’s become my ‘breakup haircut.’”

So how is she coping with the split?

“Yoga, 72 hours of ice cream … it’s all good!” she joked to Us. She’s also “trying to follow” the advice of her new book, The Day I Shot Cupid.

What do you think of her new look?

When Leighton Meester decided to become a “musician” last year, girlfriend lost her damn mind. Her heavy, club-kid eye makeup and whackadoo outfits had us pining for the days of Blair Waldorf headbands and demure makeup. Fortunately the Gossip Girl star has left the party eyes behind, opting instead to try a fresh-faced, natural beauty look that’s much more flattering. Leighton recently said that she’s learned to embrace her natural beauty, and with her sheer lipstick and rosy blush she definitely hit a beauty bullseye.

What do you think of Leighton Meester’s toned-down makeup?
