Why Paris Hilton and Mariah Carey Are Spending Memorial Day Weekend In Turkey

A bunch of celebrities including Mariah Carey, Seal, Richard Gere, Sharon Stone and Paris Hilton wound up at the Mardan Palace Hotel in Antalya, Turkey this Memorial Day weekend. The NY Post reports that Carey picked up a $1.5 million paycheck for performing at the opening of the hotel which bills itself as "Europe's most expensive hotel." The Post says Tom Jones also got the same fee. Other celebs reportedly earned more modest sums simply for showing up. Pics from the event in the gallery below.

Roberto Cavalli Freedom Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Freedom Bag by Roberto Cavalli has an appropriate name for the Handbag of the Day on Memorial Day. The bag is a medium, nylon fabric shoulder bag that features a textured leather strap and borders. The red fabric is a bold, bright red and actually has the designer's logo woven throughout the material, though an unusual weave gives the whole piece a rippling effect and conceals the name in places. From a distance, this design merely gives the bag a textured appearance. A metal accent, which is also engraved with the designer's logo, is used to embellish the basic bag. The Freedom bag zips closed and has one inside pocket. Price: $208.
