Brad Pitt tunes Ocean's 13 up with a BMW Hydrogen 7

Brad Pitt BMW Hydrogen 7 Ocean's 13
It's not as if Ocean's 13 hasn't been tuned up enough by itself, but Brad Pitt preferred to tune himself up even a bit more for the premiere of his new movie at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. And this time his choice was not Angelina - yes, yes, they are still together, but for the premiere night he chose a brand new BMW Hydrogen 7 as company, leaving all B-list actors with Priuses standing at the green light.

Brad's brand new BMW isn't a part of a lease contract yet, BMW spokesman Andreas Klugescheld told to Hydrogen Cars Now. According to Klugescheld, the luxury limousine was only a loaner for that particular evening.

Brad Pitt's spectacular entrance isn't the first and by far not the only promotion of an eco-friendly attitude coming from a Hollywood A-lister - and it actually isn't the first from Brad Pitt himself. Brad is currently featuring on the cover of Vanity Fair's special Africa edition - guest edited by Bono -, and is commonly associated with charity and humanitarian actions.

Most Hollywood actors don't push environmental activism as far as buying a BMW Hydrogen 7 luxury car (except for governator Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is known by his vision of California Hydrogen Highway). It's Toyota's Prius, that usually sets the standard for Hollywood to stand out for nature and against pollutant fossil fuels.

Brad Pitt now seems to have raised the bar a bit higher. But, honestly, coming from him this is anything but surprising, eh?

Sex will sell luxury yachts too

Ferretti Custom Line luxury yacht
Suprising it may be, but sex appeal sells everything. I mean, really everything. At least that's what Italian luxury yacht maker Ferretti aims for in their latest TV ad.

In their new tv-spot, Ferretti makes an interesting choice: let's forget the deep blues of the sky and the seas, and focus on something that might be even more attractive for middle aged billionaires. What about young girls?

The three minutes long black and white film grabs the mood of a luxury yacht by showing very little of the boat itself. What really is in focus here is the lifestyle that a multi million dollar private yacht suggests. It is like living in a penthouse apartment, that is always floating somewhere in the Caribbean. Any complaints?

No, not any. Not from me at least.

The commercials, by the way celebrate the release of three new ships, the Riva, Itama and Custom Line. But, come on, if you are really interested in the models, you won't decide based on a TV-spot, will you. Go, and check them with your local yacht dealer!

Fendi Neon Clutch Wallet

Fendi Neon Clutch Wallet
Need a quick and tasty facelift to your summer outfit? Something that is light enough for the summer heat, still visible from quite a distance?

Look no further! Fendi's all new Neon Clutch wallet is here for you! It immediately intesifies your look and becomes your signature accessory for the day.

These clutch is part of Fendi's new, small accessory purse line designed specially for the summer, and as of now, it is only available at eluxury.com for a price of $395.

The purse is made of coated leather with the well known, embossed double-F pattern. The logo is also printed on the textil lining of the wallet, and - of course - it makes the snap closure buckle (made of decorative polished silver metal) on the front side.

The interior pockets of the wallet include eight credit card slots, a clear ID-window, and 3 flat pockets.

Unfortunately, though, no matter how spectacular the design is, these wallets always come empty, when ordered.
