Who doesn’t love a nice smooth glass of scotch? And who says that one is the loneliest number? This November, The Glenlivet®, long-revered as the benchmark for single malt Scotch whisky, is pleased to introduce The Glenlivet Nàdurra Triumph 1991— a limited-edition expression of the Nádurra range of single malts.

 

This unique offering was created using a single-source grain—Triumph barley—and was distilled and casked in Speyside in 1991. The Glenlivet Nàdurra Triumph 1991 has been aged 18 years, and is non-chill-filtered so the final product retains all of its natural flavors.

 

After 18 years it is clear this scotch as paid its dues and is ready for your palate to savor. This November make sure to grab a bottle, sip and enjoy!

Emmanuelle Alt (Vogue Paris' Fashion Director) has been seen strutting her stuff all over the city of lights in skintight leather.  The legging upgrade is significantly less 80s than its duller spandex counterpart.  I love motor biker chic for the fall (in jeans as well).  However, the standout look is ostensibly the sequined leggings.  Pair them with a plaid-tee to get the indie-rocker look of Lindsanity Lohan or an oversized black blazer to garner the slightly more restrained feel of Diane Kruger's sexiness with ease.  Please be advised: Apply consideration when donning these threads. Fashion forward can easily turn into flaunting floozy.    

Macallan launches a 57 year old single malt whisky in Lalique Decanter. There are only 72 decanters of this limited-edition bottling that will be available in the U.S. This is the third in a series of six decanters that are inspired by The Macallan's six pillars, the unique elements that combine to make the whisky so special.

 

Containing an exceptionally rare 57 years old single malt whisky, the Finest Cut decanter is valued at $15,000 and will be available by special order beginning in October 2009. The introduction of The Macallan in LALIQUE Finest Cut decanter comes on the heels of the August 2009, record-breaking, £11,750 ($19, 080) sale of one of The Macallan's 50th anniversary bottles at a Glasgow, Scotland auction.  

 

Designed exclusively for The Macallan by the legendary French crystal house LALIQUE, The Finest Cut decanters have been individually numbered and produced in a very limited quantity-only 72 of the 400 launched worldwide will be available in the US, ensuring that this introduction will follow in the footsteps of its two predecessors -- a 50 Years Old Macallan celebrating the exceptional oak casks and a 55 Years Old Macallan inspired by the distillery's insistence of natural color -- and become an extraordinary collector's item...

Did anyone else see the series finale of "Shaq Vs.?"  It began with Shaq's self-declared nickname, Shaq-mu. Incidentally, next, the nearly 300-pound NBA star stuffed himself into a Speedo, proportionally scanty yet possessing enough cloth to drape the altars of St. Peter's. The finale ended with a swimming sprint against superstar Michael Phelps, who, despite skewed distances, defeated the 7'1'' submarine. Michael beat Shaq.

It's only fitting that as Shaq wraps his first season of multi-sport competition TV, his original opposition continues to barely stay afloat. Aaron Carter, who originally challenged Shaq with his nauseating breakout single "How I Beat Shaq," has further scarred his career, birthed upon the ridiculous lie that Mr. O'Neil could ever be beat.

Wall Street swindler Bernie Madoff's Montauk home will soon be on the market. Madoff has owned the house since 1981. The building sits on 1.2 acres of land very close to the shore. Federal marshals believe the home could be valued at $8 million, although in court last year Madoff claimed that the house was worth about $3 million. But who can believe what he says, anyway?

 

The home comes complete with vaulted ceilings, a stone fireplace, a set of leather couches, 1980s kitchen appliances, a porch with panoramic views of the ocean, a private path to the beach, and a small swimming pool overlooking the water.
I don't think Madoff will be using the beachside residence anytime soon-nor will anyone in his family.  Personally, I think anyone he stole from should be able to use the house at will; everyone he robbed should receive at least one week to enjoy the place for free.

 

Thanks, Bernie, and enjoy your new home... More >> ..

It started out as a portal towards dreams-- Ellis Island. Millions of wide-eyed immigrants passed through these weathered gates, gaping from overuse. Despite historical significance, Ellis Island did not open a formal museum until 1990, when a Boston-based construction company restored the Beaux Arts Main Building to expose the bare essence of the widest opening in American history.

 

In related news, Playboy just offered Kate Gosselin $400,000 to pose nude. In an attempt to capture the second most important aperture of American obsession, Hugh Hefner wrote a personal letter, which sources reported "totally mortified Kate." Star Magazine cited further that "she didn't think it was appropriate because of the children," though she has publicly declared that post plastic surgery and a close relationship with her personal trainer makes her "proud of the way she looks" - kind of like a lion, which would explain that freaky mane of hers...

Chris Bridges, a.k.a. Ludacris, has teamed up with an Atlanta car dealership to give away twenty cars to those in need.

 

Here’s the deal: people submitted their stories of hardship and described how not having a car has affected their lives. Why is he doing it? Simply put, Ludacris felt that he could step in and help out. Each used vehicle that is given away includes thirty days of free gas, but the winners are responsible for paying for their vehicle’s insurance, registration, taxes, and tags.

 

Around 4,000 contestants submitted essays of approximately 300 words to the Ludacris Foundation. One of the winners was a man from the Sudan who had lost his entire family to the violence there. He now works at a school, but struggles to get to and from work every day.

 

In tough economic times, it’s always nice to hear that those who can give big are actually doing so... More >> ..

You all remember Melissa Joan Hart, right? How could you forget the star of "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch"? She must be desperate to get out of her current home, given that she's taking a loss on the sale. The house she just sold is a Spanish-style home with 4,911 square feet and five bedrooms.

 

Melissa bought the house new in 2005 for $2.8 million. She attempted to sell it for $3.25 million last October, but no one was biting. She then relisted the home for $2.7 million and eventually ended up selling it for $2.475 million, taking a fairly substantial loss.

 

Hart's one-story home includes a screening room, master suite, walk-in closet, master bath with separate tub and shower, maid's room, and elegant woodwork throughout. The building sits on 0.49 acres of land and also includes a deck and swimming pool.
