Madonna’s $28 million Beverly Hills mansion
All of us are aware of the singing fascination of Madonna but not all of us are familiar with her love for lavish mansion. The queen of pop Madonna has decided to put up her French Country-style mansion at Beverly Hills on sale for a staggering $28 million.
As per reports, she has pocket listed the property, which means that a real estate agent has a contract to sell it, but it is not been advertised. She picked it up in 2003 when she was married to English director Guy Ritchie for around $12 million. The 5,800-square-foot home is said to have three bedrooms.
David Beckham to dispense his motor collection
There are many things you start missing on when you are super rich and super busy comes with its own demerits. The 36 year old star David Beckham has planned to do away with his two Bentleys, a BMW 645i Convertible, a Land Rover Range Rover Sport and Lamborghini Gallardo. He may even sell his three Harvey Davidson motorcycles. That is one hefty collection to sell off. His collection is amazing and is worth a fortune, more so because Beckham A.K.A Goldenballs owns them.
The entire collection of David Beckham is hardly used and kept in superb condition, but David sees little point in them just mothballing in the UK. Shipping them to America isn’t practical in his view. He has sold several cars in the past including his Porsche 911 Carera which he sold for $216,441 and BMW M3 worth $70,000 which he sold for $143,191.
Kristen Stewart gifts Robert Pattinson a Steinway grand piano
It is always wonderful when your loved one surprises you with something very special and meaningful to celebrate a milestone. Twilight actress Kristen Stewart has gifted a piano to her long time love Robert Pattinson for their third anniversary. A source close to Kristen whispered that she was searching high-end piano shops in Los Angeles and has been researching the same with the help of top musicians and finally closed on the $80,000 Steinway grand piano.
As per sources, Kristen recognized the fact that “Robert’s been playing the piano his whole life and admits it’s the perfect escape for him when the showbiz world, paparazzi and fans get too much. Playing the piano is Rob’s therapy when he needs to be alone, to think, to get emotional and crazy”. For the sake of Kristen and Robert and for the celebration of their young love I hope the source’s information is true.

We all are trying to keep calm just for the Virgin Galactic to make history by foraying into space travel; a few wealthy folks have already gone ahead and booked their seats to space. The lucky few who will enjoy one of the first few journey’s to space is none other than Hollywood heart throb, Ashton Kutcher. Yes, the Two and a Half Men star has signed up to be the 500th “astronaut customer” to fly into space with Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic, announced Branson on his blog today.
As tweeting about all the latest happening is real essential for actors and thus he has tweeted about this development as well. Instead of writing an original tweet, he has gone ahead and re-tweeted Branson’s welcome: “Welcome on board @aplusk – @virgingalactic’s 500th future astronaut.
Warhol’s ‘Double Elvis’ aims for $50 million sale
A Pop Art king Andy Warhol painting showcasing rock ‘n’ roll king Elvis Presley as a cowboy gunslinger is expected to fetch $30-$50 million when it goes on sale in May.
“Double Elvis,” executed in black and silvery white in 1963, “is a seminal piece from the iconic series devoted to the singer,” Sotheby’s said. The painting “epitomizes the artist’s obsessions with fame, stardom and the public image.” “Double Elvis” will be exhibited in Los Angeles, Hong Kong and London before the auction in New York on May 9.
Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Otis Maybach
As per the fan following of Maybach, it would have ripped the hearts of a million Maybach lovers when they saw Jay-Z and Kanye West take a beautiful 2004 Maybach 57 and tear it apart for the Grammy Award winning song ‘Otis’ in 2011. The butchered and mangled Maybach 57 was sailing in the expected price range of $100,000 and $150,000 at an auction to benefit Save the Children Foundation.
But regrettably, the sedan fetched only a meager $60,000 at the New York Contemporary Art Evening auction held by Phillips de Pury & Co. It’s a very fine car, but in general folks are a tad intimidated to be spotted driving a model from 2004.
Private tennis lesson with Andre Agassi & Steffi Graf
Tennis stars Andre Agassi and his wife, Steffi Graf, is offering a one hour private tennis lesson with them for charity. The duo will give the lesson to the lucky bidder in Las Vegas and the auction is benefitting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The current bid is at $26,000.
Gaultier labeled Diet Coke creative director
Designing high-end collaborations like champagne packaging for Piper-Heidsieck, Jean Paul Gaultier is going for more mass market appeal by becoming the latest designer to collaborate with Diet Coke. The French creator has been named the beverage’s European creative director and is appearing in a series of short films for the brand.
As well as signing on to design bottles and cans, Gaultier will also have input on online content and retail concepts for 2012. He’s the star of three short films for Diet Coke’s YouTube channel, portraying a therapist, a journalist and a private detective solving a puppet’s wardrobe dilemmas.
As per French creator, the brand asked me to explore its fun personality and to style the bottle. He wants to show people the codes and signatures he loves. The bottles have the shape of a woman’s body, so it was great fun to ‘dress’ them. The Diet Coke motif is so beautiful he had to design around this. The finishing touch was to apply his logo to the bottle, like applying a fragile stamp making it something special you want to touch.
Gaultier follows in the footsteps of leading designers including Karl Lagerfeld, Roberto Cavalli and Nathalie Rykiel by teaming up with the soft drinks brand, while over in the US Diane von Furstenberg last month unveiled a limited-edition collection of bottles adorned with her signature prints in red and black.
David Cameron gets a personalized iPad app
When you are amongst the gadget geeks, politically correct and to top it all financially real sound then you just cannot settle for anything below apple. Falling in the same league was UK PM David Cameron who has personalized the iPad app will cost him $31,720 to the taxpayer. It is said to feature a management dashboard that will enable the PM “instant access to crime statistics, unemployment figures NHS waiting lists and the latest polling data”. It will also allow access to news from a particular constituency that is achieved by integrating Google search trends and Twitter feeds of MPs and government officials and that way he can also monitor his ministers and the working of his government.
