They all sailed to Italy, Greece, Malta and Turkey. She spent $5,400 for each person aboard.

If you thought Michael Jackson was too pass to come back ever in style, think again. That guy definitely knows how to be the king for he always has been the king of pop! In the This Is It gigs that he will have in London later, he is going to wear about 300,000 of these sparkling crystals to make the whole world gasp in wonder.

Chelsea Footballer Ashley Coles Has His Wife Get Him A Mini Hummer
Soccer players and their wifeys together with their passion for the really expensive stuff add fuel to the fire of luxury news. At first it were just the Beckhams followed by one offs like the Rooneys but not anymore as the Coles too join in the uber-rich spending club. Chelsea footballer Ashley Cole and his pop star wife Cheryl Cole have just got themslevers one of those stunning mini cars that we just love to see on the road.
Theirs is a black Mini Hummer H3 and apparently, Cheryl bought it for her hubby at $22,946 who always dreamt of owning one ever since Chelsea captain John Terry got his.
The Coles have also customised their dream machine with some extra spurts of bling that cost them an extra $8,195. So now the wheels are accentuated by gold-plated hubcaps and a gold-plated grill. Even the headrests bear the couple’s initials, AC and CC (which we think is a little bizzare because can women not want to ever drive!); all this done with the aid of Swaorovski crystals.
Bag It Like Victoria Beckham
David Beckham and a dress line to her credit, Victoria Beckham, we feel, has every right to defy recession and flaunt a super-expensive collection of bags that goes more than US $2.3 million. And her all time favorite seems to be about 100 of Hermes Birkin designer bags which alone amount to $2 million.
For the uninitiated, this bag is named after actress Jane Birkin and had become a hot choice for the fashionable and even serves as a status symbol. The basic Birkin bag models costs anything between $6,000-$7,000. And we heard that one of the Birkin’s that Vic owns cost hubby dear some $122,000.
Footballer El Hadji Diouf Splurges Money Again
Have you ever wondered what life is like for all those footballers who have all the money in the world? Well, life for them, is incredibly easy. Take for example the example of El Hadji Diouf, a famous footballer. He got himself a brand new shiny chrome Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren for himseA breezy 420,000 and it was all his. The car can race at a speed of 207mph and can accelerate from 0-60 in just 3.6 seconds. This chav is a famous footballer who seems to have all the money in the world to buy whatever he likes.
Beyonce Wears Balmain Crystal Jacket
Beyonce doesn’t need to be taught to wear on an occasion. She is one of the best dressed hip hop stars around and she exactly knows what makes her look like the star she is. This time around, she visited the Waverly Inn in New York City wearing the awesome Balmain Crystal Embellished Jacket which costs an amazing $11,410.
Of course, that is not a lot of money for someone like Beyonce. She looked swell with the glittery jacket and her trademark bleached hair. I did not know she liked to wear black nail polish on her feet!
Hmm, is she turning a Goth chick from being the hip hop babe she is? The jacket itself looks awesome and it almost looks like a million dollars. It somehow reminds me of the jacket that Michael Jackson wore many decades ago.
President Obama’s Date With The First Lady Making Headlines, Surprisingly
It was once thought that running a country would take so much of one’s time that a person serving as the President would have no time for personal luxuries such as spending time with their family. In the US, and the rest of the world as well, change is obvious.
Barrack Obama certainly does not believe in ignoring his family for his country. In fact, he even finds time to romance his wife of so very many years. Obama and First Lady, Michelle, found time over the weekend for each other. They may not have gazed dreamily into each others eyes, oblivious to others stares, or had a wild night but the date was still special enough (it seems) for it to be written and read about! The first public date for the Obamas since Barrack became the president turned out to be a walk to Michel Richards Citronelle. They had an extravagant dinner at the highly expensive restaurant but soon returned to the White House, wary of missing a Bulls game.
Rihanna In Trouble Over $1.4 Million Grammy Jewellery
Singing sensation Rihanna appears to be in trouble this time over something that is quite humorous in retrospect. Rihanna is being hounded not by gossip hungry paparazzi but jewellery designers.
Rihanna always looks great but special is needed when you�re attending a Grammy pre-party. Rihanna�s jewellery was seized after the Grammy party because of her fiasco with then boyfriend Chris Brown. Apparently, the jewellery was taken in as evidence after the beating up on February 7th of this year. Since she had signed an agreement promising the return of the jewellery after the part, the designers are demanding it back and Rihanna�s lawyer had to file a motion in a LA County Superior Court. The jewellery that Rihanna has to return amounts to $1.4 million but Riri has a good enough excuse.
Michael Jackson Auction Cancelled!
Michael Jackson’s auction to happen and we had wanted to get at least some of the goods being sold, if not for his chariot and house. Unfortunately, the auction has been called off and it has already disappointed many people. It was expected to bring $10 million and now, it actually resulted in about $2 million in expenditure while preparing for the sale.
This only shows how transient and impermanent everything around us is, and how we should not go by all the hype generated. I am a great fan of Michael Jackson and I really believed this auction would bail him out of financial troubles.
