Are Brad and Angelina Buying A Yacht?
A report has reached our friends over at Gadling that Brangelina is buying a ginormous Italian yacht. According to "sources," the couple have ordered a 240 ft yacht from Privilege Yard on the Mediterranean near Rome. Currently, the yard is confirming that a large order has been placed, but isn't saying whether or not it's for the famous couple. The yacht in question features a 6 suites, a swimming pool, and Helipad. Personally, I doubt the validity of this story. I think that if Brangelina was in the market for a boat, they would be looking at container ships and/or Noah's Ark to fit their ever growing family.
Bentley Brooklands

Many people have seen the coverage of Paris Hilton running her Bentley Continental GT into things and getting tickets; that poor car has been through alot lately. That's the tragedy of youth, wealth, and powerful cars. But, I think we should stand together and ban Paris from the new Bentley Coupe, Brooklands. It would be a travesty to see her ungraciously exit this fine vehicle and have paparazzi crawling on it. Hopefully, its staid styling and land yacht status would keep her away. We can hope. Autoblog was on hand in Geneva for the debut.
First Bugatti Veyron Crash
Don't you hate that sick feeling you get when you have some motoring mishap. You know, the nauseous feeling that repairs are needed and are gonna be expensive. Well, try having those feelings about your million dollar Bugatti Veyron of which you just lost control. Our brethren over at Autoblog have all the details about this sad event. My question is, "Why would you drive your supercar in the rain?" Apparently, the crash occurred in the U.K. and there isn't much choice about driving in the rain. We want to warn you, the pictures may be disturbing to some. Luxury super car carnage!!
Ritz-Carlton New Orleans Reopens
Planning to drop in on Brangelina in the Crescent City? Wondering where to stay? Well, good news is here. The Ritz-Carlton has reopened after a renovation to repair the damage caused by hurricane Katrina. The beautiful hotel was originally the Maison Blanche department store features a variety of restaurants and a lovely courtyard. After Katrina, the hotel closed and the entire HVAC system was replaced along with numerous other repairs and enhancements. While New Orleans might not be the safest city, if you desire to stay over, the Ritz-Carlton is a safe bet.
Dolce & Gabbana Winter 2008 Menswear
The global rounds of fashion week have brought us a wide variety of styles that range from boring to out of this world. One fashion house that always manages to blast off is Dolce & Gabbana. The Italian duo takes a space voyage with its winter 2008 menswear collection. With loads of metallic silvers, bronzes, and gold, the collection has a very space program theme to it. Coats and and pants reminiscent of spacesuits are blended with sleek sweaters and form fitting leather. Dark suits with metallic ties lend a secret agent feel to the collection all the while continuing the not-so-subtle celestial theme. The item that I feel is the hotspot of the offering is the tight biker jacket in a variety of materials. I'm thinking I'll be needing one.LV Home by Rocio Romero
In need of a guesthouse or suitable modern accommodations? Designer Rocio Romero has been crafting fantastic prefab structures for several years now and her work can be seen across the country. Available in several different floorplans, the LV Home can be customized to your liking but the modern design comes standard with all homes. Chose between studio, two, and three bedroom plans. Each have massive windows and high ceilings, perfect for panoramic vistas of mountains or gentle rolling pastures.Jonathan Adler Gold Piggy Bank
In celebration of the Chinese New Year, why not give a gift that commemorates the year of the pig and helps a friend achieve a goal? I think there is nothing more appropriate to give this year than a old fashioned piggy bank. Mind you, it's not just any piggy bank. No, it's a porcelain pig coated in fabulous gold from design guru Jonathan Adler. It's the perfect piece of bling that can help you save money for fantastic vacations or a new pair of shoes.Louis Vuitton Monte Carlo Initials Loafer
Normally, I don't lust after shoes. I let my sister salivate over Manolo and Louboutin while I stick with Kenneth Cole. Kenneth Cole makes understated, classic, and well crafted footwear. However, I have recently come across a casual loafer that by itself, is a finely crafted driving shoe. But, when the venerated house of Vuitton slaps its famous "LV" across the top, the loafer is transformed from a mere weekend casual shoe to a veritable piece of bling for the feet. Perfect for casual evenings out when comfort must reign.Luxist Holiday Guide: The Gentleman's Gift Guide
What to get the guy who has everything? Sure, it may sound cliched, but this year, why not actually find something unique and original instead of the old reliables. The following is a list of gift ideas that are sure to surprise and leave a lasting impression. To tell the truth, these are actually things I'm hoping to find under the tree myself, but the odds aren't in my favor of that happening.

Singapore Airline's New First Class
Right as we went to press with an article about our favorite first class sections, Singapore Airlines announced an overhaul of its own program. Singapore's first class has been a darling of the Asian routes with superlative service and cuisine. What may have been lacking in amenities has surely been addressed by their recent announcement. Starting in December, Singapore will roll out an enhanced first cabin with the largest seats in the sky, a whopping 35 inches across. The seat lays fully flat to create a massive bed with a down-filled mattress, duvet, and fluffy pillows. For entertainment, a mere 23 inch LCD screen will keep you happy with on-demand movies and games. As expected, plenty of Dom Perignon and Krug are on hand to smooth out any turbulence.
