Conan O'Brien: Divorce from NBC is Ugly and "Crazy Expensive"

Filed under: Events

If you can't beat them and you are leaving anyway, why not spend all their money?

That seems to be Conan O'Brien's philosophy this week as he embarked on a series of skits and extraordinarily expensive props to put on the appearance that he intended to blow through the Tonight Show budget in one week.

On Wednesday he trotted out a Bugatti Veyron, a rare and pricey sports car that costs as much as some private jets. O'Brien unveiled the Bugatti Veyron, showing the million dollar car embellished with mouse ears and whiskers. O'Brien claimed to have purchased the sports car.

Last night, he upped the ante by bringing out Kentucky Derby winning racehorse Mine That Bird adorned with a mink "Snuggie" and by showing restricted Super Bowl footage. This "crazy expensive" skit, he claimed, cost NBC $4.8 million.

Filed under: Apparel

Last summer we reported that Mick Jagger's beautiful daughter Georgia May Jagger was embarking on a modeling career, following in the fashionable footsteps of the rocker's other daughters, Jade and Elizabeth. Now the 17-year-old Georgia May, whose mother is Texan stunner Jerry Hall, has landed a sexy ad campaign for Hudson Jeans (above) evoking Brigitte Bardot. Georgia May, who has one year of school left and lives with her mother in London, tells the October issue of Vanity Fair that modeling is just a temporary gig for her while she tries to break into art, design and photography. With her genes that shouldn't be too hard. As for her sexy poses, she tells the mag that daddy Mick "doesn't hate it at all."

Mick Jagger's gorgeous glamazon girlfriend L'Wren Scott has put her her Norman castle-style Hollywood Hills house on the market for $999,999. The 6'4" stylist, designer and former model's chic 1,712-sq.-ft., 3-bed, 2-bath in the Bronson Canyon area was built in 1926 and is very privately situated, with two secured entries off the street leading to a English-style garden courtyard, the Real Estalker reports. The interior features a beautiful carved stone fireplace in the living room with a vaulted ceiling and a formal dining room with stained glass windows. Overall the home has something of a Chateau Marmont feel. Scott purchased the house in June of 1996 for $255,000. She and Jagger are said to be currently living in London.

Mick Jagger's Latest Model Daughter

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Looks like wrinkly Rolling Stone Mick Jagger has sired yet another gorgeous girl: Georgia May Jagger, 16, his daughter by Texan stunner Jerry Hall. Following in the fashionable footsteps of the rocker's other daughters, Jade and Elizabeth, Georgia May just made her modeling debut in the UK for the London Mail on Sunday's magazine, and has signed with the Independent Talent agency. To our eyes, Georgia May has a major modeling career ahead of her. Having Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall for parents won't hurt either, obviously. And we bet we haven't seen the last of her dad's stunning offspring; after all, he has sired seven children with four different women (that we know of).

Filed under: Auctions, Celebrity Shopping, Charity

Jerry Hall, supermodel, actress, and ex-wife of Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger, is emptying out her closet and donating everything to charity.

She's getting rid of 430 items total, including clothing and accessories from designer names like Dior, Balmain, Balenciaga, and textiles from as far back as 1700. Also included in the sale will be several outfits and evening dresses worn to various events, and perhaps most noteworthy of all the wedding dress she wore at her wedding to Mick Jagger back in 1990. The goodies will be auctioned off at Sotheby's in London on June 10th, with all proceeds going to benefit the homeless through the Emmaus charity.

The Most Expensive Private Music Performances

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Services, Celebrity Shopping

As far as I'm concerned live music is one of the things that makes a great party great, but it doesn't come cheap! Local bands and gigs can easily run thousands for a good show, so how much to get a real celebrity performance? Forget thousands, you're in millions country.

So who's the most expensive act? That would be the Eagles, who set the record back in 2003 when they performed their hit "Hotel California" at a private party in New York for a whopping £4 million. Rounding out the top three are the Rolling Stones (£3.5 million) and Celine Dion (£2.5 million).

In order to support the Rolling Stones A Bigger Bang tour, Mercedes-Benz is auctioning off a Rolling Stones Edition R-Class and Fender Telecaster guitar, both signed by each member of the Rolling Stones. The auction will run on eBay from April 10-20 and profits will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters. The car has an airbrushed Rolling Stones A Bigger Bang design as well as Rolling Stones embroidered headrests and floor mats. You can pre-register online now for bidding ease later. And here, I thought Jack Osbourne's BMW was the height of rock tackiness.
