Jennifer Aniston has a sense of humor.

A rep for the actress, 41, confirms to UsMagazine.com that her first fragrance will be named Lola Vie, which roughly translates into “laughing at life” in French.

Another tabloid incorrectly reported it as “Lola V.”

“I’ve worked on it for over a year,” Aniston recently said of her scent to London’s Capital Breakfast Show. “When they asked, I don’t think they really expected me to be [so] picky. But you’ve got to have it smell right.”

Women’s Wear Daily first reported that the Falic Group, which will release Eva Longoria Parker’s scent, Eva by Eva Longoria, this April, is behind Aniston’s perfume.

The Bounty Hunter star is also a spokeswoman for Glaceau’s SmartWater.

A make-up firm has capitalised on Ricky Martin’s announcement that he is gay – by using the news to promote its waterproof mascara.

Yardley’s TripleXXX lash mascara is being promoted as ‘tear-proof’ – a necessity for the singer’s legion of adoring female fans, who may well have been left grief-stricken by the turn of events.

Last month the Livin’ La Vida Loca singer posted on his official website: ‘I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.’

Martin, who had always dodged questions about his sexuality, told fans he decided to come out while writing his memoirs.

What do you think of the new ad?

Glamour girl?

For the May cover of Marie Claire, Jessica Simpson went without makeup or retouching.

The reason: To promote her new initiative, “A Beautiful Me,” a program she is launching next month to encourage young women to love themselves and feel comfortable in their own skin.

“I don’t have anything to prove anymore,” says the singer, 29, who once admitted to getting too much Restylane in her lips. “What other people think of me is not my business.”‘

Still, she tells the magazine she likes to get dolled up every once in a while. “If I’m in a mood to go out and feel hot and sexy, I want long hair that I can feel on my back,” she says. “But I also like bed head.”

Although Simpson said she was thrilled to shoot VH1′s The Price of Beauty — which centers on her world travels to discover how other cultures define beauty — viewers aren’t responding. Her show’s March debut attracted around 1 million people, getting beat by a show on The History Channel.

Are you watching Jessica’s show on VH1? I am – and I actually really like it! I think Jessica is beautiful, with or without makeup!

Black Eyed Peas star Fergie has blasted critics who insult her looks – insisting her hectic lifestyle means she is often too busy to bother with a beauty regime.

The Boom Boom Pow hit-maker, 35, has long faced taunts about her appearance, but is adamant the spiteful comments will not force her to slow down and spend more time preening.

She tells Elle magazine, “It has hurt in the past when people say things like how ‘fugly’ (f**king ugly) I am or how horrible I look. Look, when you’re trying to juggle all of this in your life, sometimes you’re not going to look perfect.”
