Kick-Ass Celebrity Chef Anthony Bourdain Despises Celebrity Chefs

New York native Anthony Bourdain has certainly attainted an esteemed career, including author, TV persona and renowned celebrity chef, a series of awesomeness that began as a lowly dishwasher in New York! Yes, now a celebrity chef, Bourdain admits that he does see the irony in the fact that he has always loathed uh…celebrity chefs. 

What?  That is like driving a Lamborghini Gallardo rental NY but claiming to hate them.  Well, I suppose his unique take on the role allows him to express his true feelings.

Anthony Bourdain 'No Reservations'

Either way, I appreciate Bourdain’s complete lack of a filter and ability to marinate in every culture he encounters on his robust and intensely absorbing Travel Channel show, ‘No Reservations’.  Clever title, eh?  Well, when you ingest things like brains and blood sausage on television, I suppose you can’t have too many reservations!

A Delicious Auction of Rare Centerfolds, Thank You Christie’s!

Luxury auction house Christie’s certainly knows how to rev up engines, as in the exotic car rentals and more that often end up on its chopping block.  But now the good people at Christie’s are offering up something on the sexy side, in the form of centerfolds, art and photographs and life-sized plexiglass sculptures from the Playboy of Hef’s prime!  Come to think of it, Hef’s prime seems to be permanent, he is way cooler than 007 and all of his Aston Martin rentals put together.

Playboy Auction

Now that I have your attention, the rare centerfold auction will be held December 8th, 2010, and will offer the nude and naughty figures of Playboy celebrities of years gone by, including Paulina, Elle, Brigitte (Bardot and Nielsen) and a Marilyn or two.  Yum.

NFL Players Luxury Car Preferences Vary More than Lindsay Lohan’s Court Appearances

Cadillac Escalade Rentals Miami

NFL guys love their “rides”, but what a variety out there in the “players only” section of NFL stadium parking lots!  These guys also indulge in the occasional exotic SUV rental Miami or luxury car rental Miami, like when the urge for a new Ferrari F430 Spider rental is too much to ignore.  But what lurks in their garages?

Leno Loves Cougars

Jay Leno's Garage

TV star, Jay Leno, loves cougars.  Not the car, per se, but older classic cars.  Can I call them cougars?  Most cars are referred to as ‘females’, after all!

The longtime late night talk show host and comedian is well-known as a geeky collector of cool cars, but you won’t find any young stuff in his garage.  Forget the brand new models and current luxury rental cars Miami style, Leno prefers a bit of history with his expensive toys.

Jay Leno's Car Collection

He bought a turbo version of the Bentley when it first came out in 1990, a GMC pickup followed soon after, but then nothing new for years.

From Cuban Coffee to 200 Types of Beer-The Top 5 Miami Nightlife Hotspots

Miami’s nightlife is known worldwide for its extravagance, exclusiveness, and extreme excitement.  It is impossible to say exactly what the best hotspots are, as they are consistently shifting. 

Yes, much like Los Angeles, there seems to be a new “it” club weekly in the Miami nightlife scene.  Just like luxury rental cars, there is a desire to try the next best thing in the club scene, yet there are still Miami clubs that remain list-toppers through it all, like the following, who offer something for all tastes:

    •    The Wall at W Hotel South Beach
    •    LIV at Fontainebleau Hotel South Beach
    •    The Florida Room, Delano Hotel South Beach
    •    Abraxas South Beach
    •    Bongo’s Cuban Café, Owned by Gloria Estefan

Wall Lounge W Hotel South Beach

The Wall, W Hotel.  Located inside the new W Hotel South Beach luxury hotel, this steamy Miami nightclub is still a must on many a celeb’s list of faves.  Some of the best DJ’s from around the country provide pulse-racing entertainment for partygoers and guests of this Oceanfront luxury hotel.  Note that the majority of the music throbbing from the speakers is hip-hop, and while the attire is causal, the labels are definitely designer.  An exotic or luxury rental car is recommended for this see and be seen club, and prepare to be judged!

Famous Celebrities and The Luxury & Exotic Cars They Drive

Paris Hilton Pink Bentley GT Coupe

Paris Hilton Pink Bentley GT Coupe

Looking at this eyesore-extravaganza makes me wish Bentley, or whoever is responsible for this monstrosity of a custom paint job, had the heart to tell Paris Hilton NO.  Has anyone ever done that, by the way?  I can only assume that she did not get to color enough Easter eggs as a child.  This would never survive as a luxury rental car, so I shudder to think of what will happen to this Bentley once Paris tires of it.  Speaking of tires, scope the rims she has on it, ouch. 

 

Pam Anderson Jag

Pam Anderson Jag

Up next we have the luscious Pamela Anderson!  Oh and the Jaguar is not too shabby, either.  Anderson is always on top of her game, and I like the classic white Jag, it will go with anything, unlike Hilton’s pitiful pink Bentley.

Fans Forgive Big Ben

There was talk the Steelers would trade him.  There was talk the fans had disowned him and that he’d never hear the cheers again at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.

But fans are fickle. Like an angry girlfriend, there’s a chance they will forgive if you behave well and if you perform when required.Ben Roethlisberger Pittsburg Steelers

In his first game back as the starting QB of the Steelers after a Four-game, NFL-imposed suspension for getting in trouble with police during the off-season, Ben Roethlisberger, did hear the cheers when he trotted onto the field, and he did deliver.

Smirnoff Gets into the Marketing Mix and Reality TV

Smirnoff has been displaying an increasing urge to create its own unique television content, and the brand continues its quest for domination as Diageo Smirnoff launches its first brand-produced reality show.  The show will be called “Master of the Mix”, a reality competition and ad campaign rolled into one neat little package.
Master of the Mix Smirnoff
The show will feature a lineup of seven top DJs who will compete for the title of “Master of the Mix” and $250,000 in cash and prizes in various cities including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Miami and London.  This sounds similar to reality shows like “Top Chef”, “America’s Next Top Model” and the like.  Yawn…I feel like this reality craze is spinning out of control.  I would love to see some fresh ideas generated by the major brands of the world.  Continuously repeating what caused others success in the past does not breed creativity, but rather stagnates the entertainment industry.

Gloria Estefan Defies Death at Dolphins Game

Even writing that headline amused me, and so did the antics of singer and minority owner of the Miami Dolphins, Gloria Estefan.  Estefan climbed from the window of her luxury box at Sunday nights Dolphins Vs New York Jets game, due to the entrance becoming inexplicably locked.

It seems Estefan and guests became trapped somehow in the luxury box at Sun Life StadiuGloria Estefan Miami Dolphinsm in Miami sometime prior to halftime of the game.  Now people are talking about how badass Estefan is for kicking off her Dolphin-colored Yves Saint Laurent pumps and essentially became like Spiderman, scaling down from the third-level of the stadium as fans watched and snapped photos from below.  You go girl!

It remains unclear how the high-profile group became stuck in the luxury box, but it has been reported that locksmiths, stadium security and even local firefighters failed at freeing the group.  I think it is kinda sexy that Estefan climbed out the window, rather than waited for a rescue like a fairy tale.  She’s like 007, I think for the next Dolphins game she should just use our Aston Martin rental free of charge, and be James Bondish.

So was it an attempted sabotage from a Jets fan?  Well, if that is indeed what it was, Estefan still made it from her suite to the football field in time to introduce Enrique Iglesias for his halftime show.  I find this to be awesome, well done Gloria!
