MotoGP Star Jorge Lorenzo Wins Tissot T-Touch Expert Watch

Filed under: Timepieces / Watches, Sports

Recently at the 2010 MotoGP race at Laguna Seca near Monterey, CA, I got to see Jorge Lorenza get a 1st place win at the race. The showboating young Spaniard wooed audiences with his post-victory clown acts that fans the world over come to expect and appreciate. Before winning the race itself, Lorenzo also received a 1st place position in the qualifying pole position race - for the fifth time in a row. This earlier lap taken the day before determines in what position the riders starts the actual race. Lorenzo also beat out everyone else in this race, and for his top results, was awarded a watch by Tissot - a long time major sponsor of MotoGP.

Actually, Lorenzo won two Tissot watches that day. Another for when he won the race itself. Though as a privilege for getting a top time in the pole position lap, he got a nice Tissot T-Touch Expert watch - presented to him directly by Sharon Buntain, Tissot's US President. Lorenzo will likely we wearing the Tissot watch with frequency - just as many people in MotoGP do (given that Tissot has been associated with MotoGP for so long).

Million Dollar Coconut Brandy...Any Takers?

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Spirits

Mendis is introducing the world's first ultra-premium coconut brandy, and they're not shy about making a big deal about it. Mendis coconut brandy is an all-natural, clear brandy with delicate tones of coconut, vanilla, and chocolate and a "velvety sweet texture." It's recommended neat or on the rocks, but can also be enjoyed mixed.

The very first bottle of this very first coconut brandy is going up for sale in August for $1 million dollars. So if you're the type to collect "firsts," or really love coconut flavored drinks, or just happened to have an extra million or so burning a hole in your pocket, then you might want to hurry and buy that first fancy bottle as it rolls off the product line (well, I'm sure it doesn't actually roll, do you think?) before somebody else does. Or if you're like me, and even if you had it really wouldn't spend that kinda money on a single bottle of anything, you can enter to win the second bottle for free -- along with a luxury trip to go pick it up and personal security to help you hold on to your pricey little prize.

So how much do you think it would go for on eBay?

Emmy Swag and a Tax Reminder to Celebs

With the Emmy Awards approaching in just a few weeks, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (ATAS) took the time to remind celebrities that their swag bags are considered taxable income and need to be reported as such when tax season rolls around. This is no small thing, either. The value of this year's Emmy gifts is estimated to be between $27,000 and $33,000. The ATAS even sent out letters to the presenters asking for compliance with the various tax codes with a waiver to sign, proving that they read it.

One of the reasons that the ATAS is being rather strict is that the IRS reportedly stands to collect over $1million from Oscar bags alone, which were worth over $100,000 each last year, and the ATAS doesn't want to be held responsible for any tax problems stemming from the Emmy Awards.
