Tilo Ploger, chief operating officer of the firm, told WWD: ‘The Bruce Willis scent will be extremely masculine and – starting from ingredients through to design – embodies every individual feature of the Hollywood star: strong, self-confident, consistent.’
Bruce, 55, is the latest in a long line of stars to bring out their own scent.
However, one celebrity who won’t release a scent is John Mayer as he thinks it will smell like ‘sausage and sleep’.
The ‘Gravity‘ hitmaker said: ‘I’m not diversifying in terms of selling anything. I’m not selling ‘John Mayer: the cologne’. If I did it would just smell like sausage and sleep. I don’t look at my fans and think, ‘Wow, they really like what I do musically. Imagine if I could get $60 more out of them.’ Who out there really foes, ‘You know what, I just f**king love perfumes. I always have since I was a kid. If I weren’t a pop singer, I’d be a perfumier.’? At some point I may turn into an a*shole, but right now I just peddle a CD for $15 every two years.’
An exhibition dedicated to the career of Kate Moss has been cancelled.
In September 2008, Paris museum Musee des Arts Decoratifs announced it would have a show in homage of the supermodel and explore the myth behind her.
The exhibition was set to include images of Kate, which have been taken by some of the world’s greatest photographers over the past 20 years.
It was due to be opened last November, but it was temporarily postponed due to lack of funds.
Now the museum has announced that ‘given the economic situation’ it is no longer planning to stage it at all.
While an exhibition is no longer happening, it was recently reported Kate‘s life is to become a play, which is being written by her musician boyfriend Jamie Hince with her help.
An insider said: ‘Jamie is addicted to playwriting and is always jotting down scenes.’
‘He mentioned an idea to Kate, based around the lives of her and her friends – and Kate leapt at the chance to get involved.’
The 36-year-old beauty’s life would certainly make for interesting theatre, as well as modelling for Burberry, Dior and Chanel, she has dated a host of famous men including Johnny Depp and Pete Doherty.
She also has a seven-year-old daughter Lila Grace from her relationship with magazine publisher Jefferson Hack.
Kate previously topped the poll in 2008, while Victoria couldn’t retain last year’s third place.
Cheryl has recently sported a series of figure hugging outfits, typically smart with short, neat skirts, or cut away harem pants, accessorised with hats, as she promoted her new solo material.
Rihanna donned a series of tight cutaway outfits and a strong urban, heavy metal and military influence during the latter half of 2009, promoting her latest album ‘Rated R‘.
Blake is a key figure in US fashion and has been praised for her abilities to carry off both casual bohemian style and catwalk dresses, and she has been tipped to replace actress Sarah Jessica Parker in the fashion stakes.
Renowned shoe designer Christian Louboutin claims a good pair of high-heels help transform a woman’s attitude and appearance.
The shoe designer – whose high-heeled designs have become a favourite among a host of celebrities including Sarah Jessica Parker, Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss – loves seeing females put on his footwear as knows what a difference they can make.
He said: ‘When women put on a pair of beautiful shoes they instantly hold themselves differently. Shoes transform your body language and attitude. They lift you physically and emotionally. I remember watching a Spanish woman in my shop try on some heels. She instantly stood up taller, her chest went out and her shoulders went back. She told her friend that they were better than a face lift.’
Christian – whose shoes come complete with a red sole – believes his footwear is so popular with women becuase he understand what they like after growing up surrounded by girls.
He told Stylist magazine: ‘Women love my shoes because I understand women. I was brought up surrounded by them – I have four sisters. I understand their feelings, their needs, their problems, those things they won’t show in front of men. I know that they want to look good not just for themselves, but for other people. I help them to look sexy and beautiful and feel as good as possible.

Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Nicola Roberts were among the fashionistas taking to the catwalk for Fashion For Relief yesterday (18.02.10).
In a touching tribute to Alexandra McQueen – who committed suicide last week – both Naomi and Kate wore designs from his last Spring/Summer 2010 collection.
The event was organised by Naomi to raise money for survivors of the Haitian earthquake.
She said: ‘I am deeply saddened by the recent tragedy in Haiti.
‘So many have been killed and severely affected by the earthquake – women and children in particular are most vulnerable in disasters. Fashion is universal, personal and touches everyone.’
Other celebrities who took to the catwalk included Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh, Welsh diva Dame Shirley Bassey, former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell and socialite Pixie Geldof.
Comedians James Corden and David Walliams decided to make a statement at the event, passionately kissing each other when they got to the end of the runway.
One model, Tolula Adeyemi, had trouble with her platform heels and almost dived off the runway.
Writing on twitter, she said: ‘OMG almost took a tumble in thos shoes on Naomi’s catwalk! 2 sizes 2 big! my falling from grace, almost, on Naomi Campbell’s catwalk!!(sic)’

Kate Moss ‘blags’ being a model.
The supermodel – who has worked on campaigns for a host of fashion houses including Calvin Klein, Chanel and Burberry, as well as appearing on hundreds of magazine covers – admits she is surprised by her own success.
She said: ‘I still can’t quite believe it, even now. I still think I’m blagging it a bit but nobody’s cottoned on yet.’
Discussing her level of fame, the 36-year-old beauty admits it does get to her on occasions.
She said: ‘Sometimes, I don’t like it, but then I’ve got to deal with it, so I do. You know, I just wanted to be good at my job, I never wanted to be famous, but that happens to come with it.
‘I’m still having a wonderful time modelling. In career terms, things have never been better. Modelling has given me insights and experience that I can now use in other ways.’
Kate also revealed her collaboration with leather goods company Longchamp came about as a result of simply liking their creative crew.
She told Britain’s Grazia magazine: ‘I just really like them as people. I find them lovely to work with, so that was the main issue.
‘For me, that is always the first thing. Longchamp is a family business, it’s been going for more than 60 years and I just love the whole feeling of it.’
