George Michael pays $2 million for his own face
Don't call former Wham! front man and serial car sleeper George Michael a narcissist just because he's planning to shell out £1 million pounds to buy a gold and diamond encrusted statue of himself. Please! Philistine! It's art! Modern art!

Victoria Beckham - Driven to be stylish
Filed under: Accessories, Celebrities with Style
Victoria Beckham always strives to be slightly out of reach with her fashion. We love her crazy styles, and we love the fact that they aren't exactly real -- none of us could leave the house wearing half of what she wears. Which is why we are tipping our stylish hats to Posh on this latest bit of news -- she selects her car for the day based on her outfit.Now, to clarify, it's not that La Beckham has a car to go with every pair of shoes in her closet (but can you imagine if that were the case -- what would she drive wearing the heel-less shoes?), but she does choose between her Porsche and Bentley convertible based on her ensemble.
Leave the car like a lady (Paris, are you listening?)
Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes
We know as well as anyone that getting out of a car while wearing a dress or a skirt can be a tricky situation. Whether you're wearing the proper undergarments or not, you don't want to flash your adoring public when climbing out of your vehicle. And we've found the solution -- the Exi-quette Car Curtain (seriously, you have to watch the video above -- you'll thank us).

Styledash Giveaway: Jawbone Hands-free Bluetooth Headset
Filed under: Accessories, Contests & Giveaways
Now that states like California and Washington have "no cellphones in the car" laws in effect, it seems like everyone has a hands-free unit set stuck in their ears. A few smart manufacturers, like Jawbone, realized that if women are going to use these items, they better work and they better be pretty.
Our giveway this week, a Jawbone hands-free headset, meets both of those requirements. The luxurious rose gold finish and small but elegant shape puts it in a league with designer sunglasses. Jawbone claims to have 15 times the noise reduction of other headsets because of their Noise Assassin technology. We can't confirm the specific metric, but this demo from their site sure is impressive. And we could actually hear our friend on the other end of the phone, even though she was in a car. With the windows open!

Twelve great graduation gifts
Besides weddings, the most popular activity for June weekends seems to be high school and college graduations. Along with lifting a toast to grads at all the parties, it's also nice to acknowledge the effort that went into actually getting that degree with something lasting.
A thoughtful gift can be big or small, personalized or humorous, expensive or simply a gesture. The important thing is that it reflects something of the recipient, and your feelings for him or her.
There is a wide, wild and wacky world of gifts made especially for graduates, as well as some traditional, classic items. We've got the full range, from sweet tokens to sinful luxury in the gallery.
Jewelry isn't enough for Paris Hilton and Britney Spears -- They need bling for their cars too
Filed under: Celebrities with Style
As if wearing millions of dollars worth of jewelry every day weren't enough already, celebrities are now starting to put bling on their cars. A car jewelry (yes, you heard that right, I said car jewelry) company, License2Bling, has started manufacturing designs and license plate frames with Swarovski crystals embedded. In case you're worried about someone stealing your bling, you can even get special security screws to keep everything in place.
I think you'll be surprised at just how many stars own these products!
- The Hilton sisters
- Britney Spears
- Kim Kardashian
- Mya
- Nicole Richie
- Eva Longoria
- Alicia Keyes
- Jessica Simpson
- Hilary Duff
- Sanda Bullock
- Jessica Alba
- Jessica Biel
- Lindsay Lohan
- Kimberly Stewart
- Scott Storch
Paris Hilton was the obvious one on the list. I mean, when she's not out committing crimes against fashion humanity like in the picture above, she's can be found buying bling for herself, her dog, her ferret, her plane, her house, whatever. Her pets probably all own more diamonds than I do. But, is anyone else a little shocked to see Sandra Bullock on the list? She seems so down to Earth. I really would never have pegged her as a car bling kind of girl.
For you patriotic boys and girls you can get an American flag with red, white and blue crystals. My grandma would love that. There's also a pink crystal breast cancer ribbon and even a Christian fish. Anyways, check out some of the License2Bling's products and tell me what you think! Would you ever put something like this on your car?
Take a test drive for free beauty products
Filed under: Skin Care
What would you do for free Dior beauty products? How about taking a spin in a new Chrysler Sebring? Chrysler has a new test drive promotion called Awaken Your Senses that gives away a Dior Beauty To Go Kit worth around $75 with a test drive of the 2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible or the 2007 Sebring sedan. If you aren't interested in doing the test drive (not sure why you would turn down a free spin in a convertible) a deals blog has an interesting workaround so that you can get the kit anyway.
