Ballin' in Outerspace

You think, somewhere out there, there's an intergallactic episode of "Cribs" where some jackass alien musician is saying, "You wanna be a real balla, son? You get you a diamond PLANET!"

From The Huffington Post:

Scientists say the planet exists about 4,000 light years away from Earth, and is probably the remnants of a once-large dead star, Reuters reports. (Scroll down for video.)

"The evolutionary history and amazing density of the planet all suggest it is comprised of carbon," Matthew Bailes of the University of Technology in Melbourne told Reuters. He calls it "a massive diamond orbiting a neutron star every two hours in an orbit so tight it would fit inside our own Sun."

This sounds like something out of Futurama. And I feel bad for any guy in the market for an engagement ring. Once your lady gets wind of this, nothing less than a planet-sized rock will be good enough.

Kanye's Million Dollar Smile

First he spit through the fire (and the wire); now he's spitting through the ice.

In his latest GTFO move, Kanye West recently revealed that he's had his bottom row of fronts replaced with diamonds and gold.

From New York Daily News:

After tweeting a picture in July that showed the hip-hop artist had a mouth full of bling, West explained on the "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Tuesday that he actually had gold and diamonds inserted to replace his bottom of row of teeth because he "just thought the diamonds were cooler."

That echoes a similar remark he made in an interview for Vanity Fair's Nov. issue, after he was asked why he had "permanent diamonds drilled into [his] bottom teeth."

Personally I can't imagine why anyone would want to intentionally remove their teeth, even if you are replacing them with diamonds. Especially when your ego and arrogance could lead to someone knocking them out at any given moment.
