Guy Ritchie Picks Up A New Rolls-Royce

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Celebrity Shopping

Kim Kardashian isn't the only one to "see a Ghost" recently. Director Guy Ritchie, who is currently filming the second Sherlock Holmes movie, followed in Kardashian's footsteps picking up a new $250,000 Rolls Royce Ghost car. The Daily Mail reports that the director's new car was delivered straight to the set of his new film. They have pictures of Ritchie in his new purple and silver baby.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost is the smaller, more nimble sibling to the Phantom. The eight-speed automatic transmission luxury car is designed for a speedy driving experience to appeal to those driving as much as those being driven. It is powered by a twin turbo 6.6-litre V12 engine that gets up to 62 mph in 4.9 seconds and with a top speed of 155 mph. The interior is rich with soft full grain leather, natural wood veneers, Blenheim wool carpets and a cashmere-blend roof lining. Each Ghost is hand-built to order with a variety of custom options available.

Tired of mini-movies for scent campaigns yet? The recent weeks have brought us a variety of high-profile directors creating short films, as luxe and glossy as the scent ads in magazines. We've seen Martin Scorcese directing for Chanel and Frank Miller for Gucci. Now it's Guy Ritchie's turn, directing a new movie/ad campaign for Dior Homme cologne starring Jude Law. The sexy little five-minute movie features Law at his dandified best, suit-clad and driving a curvy little convertible and cavorting with the lovely Michaela Kocianova.

The other day we reported that Madonna has borrowed Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich's brand new superyacht, the 377-ft. Luna, while filming the new Duke of WIndsor movie she's directing in the South of France. The yacht is fitted out with two helicopter pads, a covered pool, spa, medical center, hot tub and 40 staff, including butlers and a macrobiotic chef. The middle-aged Material Girl isn't the only celeb cadging a ride on a pal's superyacht this summer, however – everyone from Brad and Angelina to the Beckhams are living it up on the high seas, though some stars are actually paying their way. Here's the full rundown on the famous folk's nautical hijinks:

1. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: the world's most famous movie star couple have borrowed Johnny Depp's classic yacht, the 156-ft. Vajoliroja (above), which as we noted in April is available for charter at $130,000 per week, JustLuxe reports. The mahogany paneled craft features accommodations for 10 guests and a crew of 8, a formal dining room, library, plush salon and outdoor seating and eating areas, all decorated in Depp's signature version of Art Deco Paris meets the Orient Express.

2. David Beckham and Victoria Beckham: Posh and Becks have borrowed their pal designer Roberto Cavalli's iridescent 133-ft. yacht, the RC, which features a leopardskin interior, 15 bedrooms, a gym, whirlpool spa and locker full of fur coats for when the weather turns cool. Supposedly Cavalli only allows clothes he designed to be worn onboard.

3. Simon Cowell: The TV star is one of the few celebs footing the bill for his fun, having shelled out a whopping $975,000 per week to charter the 196-ft. Slipstream. The 12-berth yacht boasts sumptuous leather sofas, mirrors above a giant waterbed, a Jacuzzi, an observation lounge with panoramic views, gym, a sky lounge with a retractable roof and a crew of 14 including a private chef.

4. Paris Hilton: The world's biggest party girl is kicking back on Microsoft magnate Paul Allen's 300-ft. pleasure craft the Tatoosh, which as we recently reported has been put up for sale at $160 million. The yacht, which has a pool, hot tub, cinema, basketball court, recording studio, spa, massage room, gym, games room and helicopter pad, comes with a crew of 30. "The best summer of my life," Paris recently tweeted about the trip. "Our yacht is incredible! I'm in heaven on the water. Definitely the biggest and best yacht everywhere we go. Love it! Huge!"

Filed under: Auctions, Art

Nudes of Madonna have made their way to the auction block before but none as unflattering as this rendition of Madonna with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie painted by Peter Howson. The oil painting shows Madonna with a large belly, no neck and meaty arms being pawed by monstrous version of Ritchie set against a cityscape. The painting is owned by a private collector and is estimated to sell for £15,000 - 22,000 at McTear's auctioneers in Glasgow, Scotland on Saturday May 30. Madonna owns several of Howson's paintings but she probably won't be bidding on this one.

The Big Plans For Madonna's 50th Birthday

Filed under: Celebrity Shopping

Wow, Madonna is finally turning 50. And what does the superstar music icon who has everything want most for her birthday? The one thing she's been denied, of course: a baby girl adopted from Malawi.

Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie have had a strained marriage as of late due to Madonna's desire to adopt again and Guy's resistance to the idea. Apparently he's changed his mind, though, as reports are he'll be giving Madonna a love letter on her birthday with a written pledge in it to not only allow the adoption but to actively help her fight for it.

And that's not all! Other gifts will include a pledge to spend more time with her in New York, a rose named after her, a 45 minute video of their family put together by Guy, and a bespoke Bulgari necklace and earrings set valued at almost $500,000.
