It's hard being rich and beautiful.

Just ask Gisele Bundchen.

The former Victoria's Secret Angel is being sued by a carpenter who injured himself after falling off a staircase in her New York apartment where he was doing work. The poor man suffered a fractured shoulder, broken ribs and herniated spinal discs thanks to his tumble.

No word if the accident had anything to do with the fact that the carpenter was trying to catch a peep of the Brazilian babe, while her football boyfriend Tom Brady wasn't around.

Just kidding! We don't want to get sued by anyone either. Although if we had as much money as Gisele, we wouldn't be sweating the legal fees too much.

Madonna is a bra-burning, blasphemous crucifix mounting sort of a feminist. So nothing about this story really surprises us. Madonna used her maiden name to buy a $7 million dollar Central Park apartment in N.Y.C., which just adds fuel to the fire -- are she and Guy Ritchie and the rocks?

There's a whole new batch of college freshman heading off to school this fall who are leaving home for the first time, and trying to make it on their own. While most dorm-dwellers won't have room for furniture and other household staples, chances are they'll have access to a kitchen, which means they'll need stuff to cook and eat with.

And while they could buy every single piece individually (or inherit an old set from mom and dad), it'd be far easier just to pick up a Kitchen in a Box.

This is a good idea for multiple reasons. First of all, it means not having to be embarrassed or creeped out by the stains and stale bits of ancient, impossible-to-wash off food attached to the rents' old stuff, and secondly, this is way easier to move than assorted bits of kitchen stuff that weren't designed to fit together into one box.

The safest bet appears to be the Chefmate Kitchen in a Box First Apartment Starter Set, which is full of everything any college student would ever need and only costs $29.99. IKEA also makes a set, which is probably nicer in quality, but also costs $89.99 -- and no self-respecting freshman is going to care about the quality of his or her cookware.
