"There is something natural about it. It’s very alive. I think that as a young person wearing it - considering that I’ve never worn a scent - it kind of puts you on this level of, like:"Whoa, check me out,"" Kristen Stewart, 22, told WWD.
"I’m very lucky that I like the fragrance, because I would have done anything with (Balenciaga designer Nicolas Ghesquière)," Kristen added about the perfume, which is due out in September. "And I’m a terrible liar."
"Even though, yes, it’s an ad and we’re selling a fragrance - I don’t want to sound pretentious - but I want to be part of this art project," Kristen quoted as saying. "I want to be around Nicolas when he gets excited about fabric. I want to see the look on his face when he sees me put on a dress."
Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr would have probably wished this commercial stay overseas, but thanks to the power of the web, Kerr's hilarious new Lipton Limone spot is available from Japan for your viewing pleasure.
In the Japanese commercials, Miranda, 28, dons a cute yellow waitress uniform and brandishes her Lipton Limone in front of a confused gentleman who appears to have rubbed his piece of cake all over his face and glasses. Why, by the way?
There's also the guy who hands her the drink, who's dressed in a face-obscuring brown robe. There's a reason he's dressed that way...
And then comes the ultra-catchy jingle.
We can't put our finger the supermodel is actually singing the recorded version of the song, but in the behind-the-scenes video, she lets a few notes loose ...
Kerr, who reportedly filmed the commercial on a trip to Japan, now joins the elite club of celebrities quietly shilling foreign goods, which already includes Megan Fox's South Korean handbags, Jennifer Connelly's 80's Shiseido spots and hilariously, Jennifer Aniston's German ads for Heineken.
What do you think of Miranda Kerr's commercial as well as the behind-the-scenes video?

It has to be mentioned that Kim made a 1-year deal with the company, which touted "Shape-Ups" as a shoe that promotes toning and weight loss. The FTC now states the claims are bogus and that there's no proof the shoes do squat.
But Kim is telling friends and family when she signed the original deal, she was a habitual "Shape-Ups" user and it toned the back of her legs and her considerable butt.
Kim reveals she signed a 1-year deal that ended in January, but even before the expiration she started to hear about the new research which showed the shoe didn't work, so she stopped promoting it all together.
Even though she wasn't about to promote the shoes for other people to wear, Kim had conflicting feelings about using the product herself.
Kim admits she wouldn't endorse the shoe now, but she's not throwing her "Shape-Ups"out. She still has them and might still wear them!

The Skechers fitness shoes Kim Kardashian tried to persuade you to purchase don't actually work according to the federal government.
The "Federal Trade Commission" has determined Skechers made unfounded claims about its Shape-Ups shoes pushed by hot-bodied spokespeople like Kim Kardashian and Brooke Burke.
According to the FTC, Skechers lied about clinical studies which the company stated proved the shoes help people lose weight and strengthen muscles in the ass, legs and stomach.
In fact, Skechers has agreed to pay $45 million in settlement costs and anyone who bought the shoes will be eligible for a refund.
Still, Skechers is reportedly disputing the FTC decision and plans to conduct more research on the effects of the shoe.
