Pamela Anderson Protests Whale Penis Leather SUV

Last month we wrote about the Russian-made $1.5 million Monaco Red Diamond Edition luxury armored SUV, featuring gold and diamond accents and an interior upholstered in whale penis leather. The unnerving upholstery is apparently in tribute to Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, who had whale penis leather aboard his yacht the Christina. Now pneumatic actress and animal rights activist Pamela Anderson, Greenpeace and the World Wildlife Federation have complained to Dartz, the company responsible, causing them to ditch plans for any whale genitalia to be used in making the insane vehicle. We can't imagine anyone but the Prince of Brothels would ever buy one anyway. Dartz's Leonard F. Yankelovich has now issued an unintentionally hilarious apology of sorts, in Russian-inflected English:

"We have no ideas to kill the whale or something like that," he insists. "All we want - to make just luxury car. Real luxury car which will be world number one car. We just looking for most expensive products for this car - and that's why we choosed whale penis leather when we checked it is most of most. After wave of protest we realised our mistake and make a decision not to use natural leather at all. We will focus on world most advanced nanotechnologies to achieve interior highest quality using artificial materials which also was never used for cars. We want to tell our hello to all whales: 'Our Sea Brothers! We all know that earth are stand on three whales - we will keep You live! We don't want Earth fall down to Ocean!'"

Pamela Anderson's New Perfume Line

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance, Celebrity Design

Pamela Anderson is stepping into the perfume game with two iterations of her Malibu fragrance named after the beachside town she calls home. Malibu Day/Malibu Pink is a fruity floral with notes of berries, white flowers, vanilla and ambered sandalwood. Malibu Night/Malibu Blue is a moodier scent, an oriental with notes of pomegranate, black orchid mahogany wood, lotus, patchouli and amber.

As Anderson describes it on her website she's been making her own products for years layering various scents. She says that her goal was to "create a fun, sexy fragrance that really captured the beach with soft, gentle touches in a way that lingers." Starting this month, Malibu Day and Malibu Night are going to retail for $39 (1.7oz) and $49 (3.4oz) at CVS/Pharmacy, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Nordstrom, Sears and other department stores and drugstores around the U.S. Maybe this new line will help pay off some of the $4.8 million in debt she has reportedly amassed because of some pricey home renovations.

The Brothel Prince & His Louis Vuitton Rolls-Royce

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Wealth, Crimes and Misdemeanors

Spotted in Monaco recently was this pimped-out Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe customized in a Murakami multicolored Louis Vuitton monogram, belonging to the infamous Prince Marcus von Anhalt. Von Anhalt, who's said to have essentially bought his title - Prinz von Anhalt, Herzog zu Sachsen und Westfalen, Graf von Askanien in full - by paying Zsa Zsa Gabor and her ninth husband Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt millions of dollars to adopt him, is one of Germany's largest and most high-profile brothel and nightclub owners.

He refers to himself as "Prince Germany" and apparently uses the Rolls to promote the Royal Race, a Gumball 3000-style exotic auto rally he launched last year. The Prince, who's been known to pal around with Pamela Anderson, claims to be a millionaire "in the three digit range" and to own 26 cars plus luxury real estate in several countries including Monaco and Dubai, attended by 12 bodyguards and 25 servants. This looks to us like not only a crime against taste but exactly the kind of thing LVMH's lawyers love to sue over.

Celebs Losing $100K a Week on Their Dubai Mansions

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Estates, Real Estate Developments, Wealth

One side effect of the implosion of Dubai's economy which my colleague Deidre Woollard reported on last month is the plummeting value of trophy properties owned by certain superstars. Celebs including David and Victoria Beckham (above), Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and Michael Jackson are losing £80,000 or over $100,000 a week as the luxury real estate they purchased in the over-inflated Emirate plunges in value, the London Daily Mirror reports. Posh properties that were worth £3.2 million (or about $4.4 million) in October now on the market for £1.6 million (or about $2.2 million), i.e. only half as much.

"The Dubai market has fallen off a cliff," Jack Whisker of luxury agents Dream Property Dubai tells the paper. "The credit crunch hit us suddenly because all the foreign investors lost confidence. It has hit the higher-value properties the hardest." In January Deidre reported that the Beckhams, who have a luxury villa on the Palm Jumeirah complex, were considering purchasing a second property in the Burj Dubai tower, so they could be doubly exposed. Brad and Angelina reportedly own one of the artificial islands in the out-there development known as The World.

Former Baywatch bombshell Pamela Anderson will star in famed fashion designer Vivienne Westwood's runway show in Paris on Friday, Vogue UK reports.

Anderson, who was photographed for the British designer's sexy new Spring / Summer 2009 ad campaign (right) by Juergen Teller in Miami, has become Westwood's new muse.

At the recent New York Fashion Week, Anderson appeared on the runway in a gold swimsuit for avant-garde label Richie Rich.

Westwood, who's credited with bringing punk and New Wave fashions into the mainstream, formed an early alliance with Malcolm McLaren and the Sex Pistols. She often incorporates the Union Jack into her designs.

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Wings

The 35th Annual Las Vegas Collector Car Auction from Kruse International at the South Point Hotel and Casino on December 19 and 20 will offer the usual vintage cars and a few celebrity vehicles such as Wayne Newton's 1982 Mercedes-Benz and 2001 Jaguar XK8 Convertible but the real excitement is reserved for two other types of vehicles. One of three jets Elvis Presley owned during his lifetime, a 1962 Lockheed Jet will be up for auction. It has never been restored and has original external painting and detailing, as well as original interior. It is the only airplane that belonged to Elvis still in private hands and is estimated to sell between $700,000 to $2 million (engines not included).

For those with more modest means there is Pamela Anderson's 2001 Playboy Airstream otherwise known as the Lovestream. This was a gift from Hugh Hefner to Pamela Anderson and she will be selling it in person at the auction. It is ready for action with Playboy bunny logo seat cushions and a pole and disco ball. Pictures are in the gallery below.

Pamela Anderson Working On A Dubai Hotel

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Celebrity Shopping, Green

Ugh, isn't Dubai full up of celebrity hotels, resorts, and developments already? Apparently not, as the latest celebrity to join the fray of "I have a hotel in Dubai" is Pamela Anderson.

Her hotel will apparently be environmentally friendly, although how exactly we're not sure -- except that she was quoted as saying "It's built with no fossil fuel at all... in Abu Dhabi - where they have all that oil."

Pamela was first inspired for the project after traveling to the area this past June with the Make a Wish Foundation. No word on what her hotel will be called, or when it will open for business.

Pamela Anderson is mainly known for her physical attributes but she's also a huge fan of shabby chic . And like another famous blonde, Tori Spelling, she's having one monster garage sale. The sale starts tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. sharp at the Malibu mansion she's been renting for the past year. The pink and black website for the sale has pictures of some of the items for sale include many pieces of white furniture including armoires, headboards, vanities, sofas and more. The sale also includes outdoor furniture, clay pots, scooters, skateboards, a Jacuzzi and even an electric car. There is no street parking and everyone who wants to go to the sale must take a shuttle from a local market to get there. If the crowds are anything like the hordes that turned out for Tori's sale, be prepared to wait in a long line to get in.

Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock got married this weekend aboard a yacht in Saint Tropez. When I saw the pictures over at Perez Hilton I knew that gorgeous yacht looked familiar. It's none other than the Altavida. This 163-foot Oceanco was built in 1993 but went through a major refit in 2005. This gorgeous yacht is for sale and she can be yours for $19.65 million.

Just call it the Pamorama, People Magazine (via the Wall Street Journal) is reporting that Pamela Anderson has purchased a new two-bedroom, penthouse apartment in a Vegas condo project, The Panorama Towers. The Panorama Towers is a four-tower project currently under construction. The hotel is located west of the Bellagio and has Strip views. The apartments have ten foot ceiling, stone slab countertops and large windows. The amenities include pool and Jacuzzi areas, his and hers spas, racquetball courts, a large screen theater room, concierge and valet parking services. Pammy won't be moving in anytime soon, her apartment won't be ready until the end of 2008. At least this project, unlike so many others in Las Vegas, is actually under construction.
