Jennifer LopezKim Kardashian, and Britney Spears all have one -- so why not Kelly Bensimon? The leggy model and former Real Housewives of New York star is set to launch her first signature fragrance, In the spirit of.
In the spirit of what, exactly? The name was inspired by her book, In the Spirit of the Hamptons, about the famous chichi playground for the elite. But, says Bensimon, the scent "should always be in the spirit of you."
The 45-year-old New Yorker became obsessed with perfumes as a model in Paris, where she fell in love with the city's floral shops and the arrangements she'd see in the ateliers of Karl Lagerfeld, Valentino, and other designers. When she met scent guru Sarah Horowitz, the two decided to collaborate. After just minutes of mixing and matching scents, In the spirit of was created.
According to a press release, Bensimon's scent "has a sparkling top note of fresh cut lemon. The middle note accord is honeysuckle meeting with the lush, tropical note of tuberose, accented by a touch of spicy carnation. It rests on a base note accord of clean musk with a hint of the sexiest vanilla that is at once beautiful, warm and deep — just like the woman who inspired it."
Bensimon spoke to Us about her favorite celebrity fragrances on Oct. 3 at a screening of The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete hosted by The Cinema Society and Tommy Hilfiger in NYC. "I like Kim Kardashian -- it's a well done fragrance. Justin Bieber -- I don't know what the base is, but it smells really good and my kids love it too. I really like the Britney Spears since it smells like carnations."

Kim Kardashian, Kate Middleton Show Off Impressive Post-Baby Bodies Months After Giving Birth!

Whoa baby! Kim Kardashian and Kate Middleton had the world buzzing over their dual pregnancies this summer, and now, just months after giving birth in June and July, the first-time moms (who originally had the same due date for kids George and North) are ready to show off their impressive post-baby bodies.
On Friday, Oct. 18, Middleton revealed a slender figure while out at a SportsAid Athlete Workshop at London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, where she showed off her volleyball skills -- and a flash of her bare, flat post-baby tummy. 
The Duchess, 31, wore a striped black-and-white top, navy-blue military blazer and cropped J Brand jeggings as she made her way across the court, spiking the ball and gamely smiling for the cameras as she wore (and jumped around in) impressively tall wedges.
"She was a natural," 18-year-old Toby French, a volleyball player from Chelmsford, told Us Weekly of Middleton (she gave birth to son George on July 22). "You can tell she's sporty. She said she's played a little before."
Middleton family source told Us that the mom has "hardly done anything to lose the weight … she looks incredible."
"Kate's still breastfeeding and the small weight she gained while pregnant has just melted off," the source continued. "She's not dieting. After giving birth, she did continue with her yoga."
Kardashian, meanwhile, made her much-talked about body reveal just two days earlier, sharing a glimpse of her post-baby curves in a very revealing white one-piece swimsuit selfie.
In the shot, the 32-year-old reality star flaunts her famous booty and plenty of side-boob while glancing seductively over her left shoulder. (Though both Kardashian and Middleton have been out and about since giving birth, these are their most revealing photos to date.)
"She is eating lots of lean proteins, healthy fats like nuts and avocado, carbs, fruits, veggies and cheese," a rep for Atkins told Us. "She wanted to be a healthy, nursing mom and not toxify her milk with her diet or lose weight too quickly."
Kardashian welcomed her daughter with boyfriend Kanye West, 36, on June 15.

There is no such thing as a dumb question -- but this is beyond! A video of a TV Azteca reporter asking Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron what it was like to shoot his hit thriller, Gravity, in space has gone viral. 
At an Oct. 16 press conference for the film, the journalist, later identified as comedic talk show reporter Carlos Pérez, asks Cuaron in Spanish, "What were the technical and physical difficulties of filming in space?" He continues, "Was it very difficult? Was it complicated to shoot in space? Did the cameramen get dizzy? I don’t know."
Cuaron, who initially scratches his head, ultimately replies in good humor, “Well yeah, we took some cameras to the [spacecraft]." He then calmly continues to embellish his tale: "We were there for three and a half months, right? Three and half months in space."
Meanwhile, Pérez, whose prank spread like wildfire online, took to his Twitter to respond. "Forgive me Twitter for being a professional committed to information," he wrote. "Don't tell me I was the only one who had that doubt."

Kailyn Lowry has much to celebrate these days. The Teen Mom 2 star had not one but two weddings with hubby Javi Marroquin, and she's due to give birth to her second child in November. 
Lowry, 21, welcomed son Isaac in January 2010 on Season 2 of 16 and Pregnant. Isaac's father, Jo Rivera, is still in the child's life, but the reality star moved on from her baby daddy to Javi Marroquin, who recently joined the Air Force. 
Lowry and Marroquin's romance has played out on Season 4 of Teen Mom 2, and the couple even shared a court house wedding ceremony with Isaac on the show. This September they had a bigger bash with family and friends. The kicker? Lowry was eight-months pregnant at the time.

The glowing mom of one has remained tight-lipped about her second pregnancy, but there was no denying that she had a baby on board for her most recent ceremony. 
To further confirm that a baby's on the way, Marroquin Instagrammed Lowry's ultrasound from a few months ago on Oct. 15. 
The couple has decided to keep the baby's sex a secret, but Lowry admitted on Twitter that she'd prefer another boy. 
"Well, let's hope Baby M is a boy because if not Baby M is gona be Baby M for her whole life," she tweeted on Oct. 18. "Haha still don't like any girl names."

The teen pop sensation's MTV Artist to Watch tour -- a 10-city event originally scheduled to kick off in Miami Thursday -- was postponed that evening, per Michele "Mama" Mahone. "Austin is very upset about this & we want to say we are sorry to all the Mahomies & their parents who have made arrangements to come out," Mama Mahone shared with her son's 4.4 million followers. MTV said in a statement that the sold-out tour would be postponed to 2014, adding that ticket holders would be notified once exact dates were confirmed.
Despite the cancellation, Austin's fans quickly expressed support for the "What About Love" singer via social media. #PrayForAustin rapidly became a trending topic on Twitter at the urging of Mama Mahone.

Josh Duhamel, Fergie Already Planning for Second Baby: "We've Gotta Move Fast"

No time to waste! Josh Duhamel and Fergie's son, Axl Jack, isn't even 2 months old -- but the Transformers actor already has more babies on the brain. Asked about his bundle of joy at the Salvatore Ferragamo-sponsored Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts Gala in Beverly Hills on Thursday, Oct. 17, the new dad revealed plans for more just like little Axl.
"It's the best thing ever," Duhamel, 40, told Access Hollywood of parenthood. "It's the best thing that's ever happened to me. It's fantastic."
It's so fantastic, in fact, that the star is worried Axl has given him and the Black Eyed Peas singer, 38, a false sense of comfort. "He's a really good little baby, which means the second one will be a holy terror!" the proud papa quipped, laughing. 
So a second one is in the cards? "Of course! Yeah, we've gotta move fast," the actor said, noting that he and Fergie are "beyond happy."
Married since 2009, the elated couple welcomed their first child together on Thursday, Aug. 29, in L.A. A few days after Axl's birth, Duhamel took to Twitter to thank fans for their well wishes.
"All is good!" he tweeted. "In fact, never better. Much love, JD."

Kristen Bell Confirms Marriage to Dax Shepard Via Twitter

How sweet it is! Kristen Bell took to Twitter just one day after she and longtime love Dax Shepard said "I do" in Beverly Hills on Thursday, Oct. 17, confirming that the pair had indeed tied the knot in a super low-key ceremony.
"Wife coffee tastes way better than regular coffee in the morning," she shared with fans, tagging Shepard's Twitter handle.
On Thursday, the couple was at the Beverly Hills County Clerk's Office picking up their marriage license when they decided on the spur of the moment to take up a court employee's offer to marry them in a nearby courtroom, TMZ first reported.
Bell, 32, was reportedly shedding tears as they exchanged vows.
The House of Lies actress and Shepard, 38, have been engaged since the 2009 holidays, but famously refused to make things official until same-sex marriage bans were overturned nationwide (the couple are already parents to daughter Lincoln, 7 months.)
Almost immediately following the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of the Defense of Marriage Act this past June, Bell proposed to Shepard -- on Twitter!
"It wasn't any particular pressure put on them, but having a baby now did push them towards making everything a bit more official, just to be seen as husband and wife officially for the sake of Lincoln," a source tells Us
"They are both great parents and love being with each other constantly," the source added.
