Grave Jewelry Security Whitney Houston

WHITNEY HOUSTON STILL NEEDS BODYGUARDS

We were just waiting for THIS to happen. When The Enquirer revealed that Whitney Houston was buried with $500,00 worth of jewelry, you could just imagine the grave robbers making plans. Whose brilliant idea was THAT? Her burial site in Westfield, New Jersey, has been closed to the general public for the past week after hordes of fans overran the cemetery. 24 hour armed security guards have been hired by the family to keep her grave from being robbed. What a waste of money.

Casper Smart Diamonds Jennifer Lopez Jewelry Marc Anthony

JENNIFER LOPEZ WANTS TO ERASE EVERY MEMORY OF HER MARRIAGE

There’s no doubt that Jennifer Lopez is living it up to the max since she filed for divorce from Marc Anthony. She’s hot again – performing on TV, doing movies, and vacationing with her young boyfriend Casper Smart. She’s also quietly selling off ALL the jewelry Marc gave her while they were married. He was very generous and showered her with diamonds (including that big engagement ring) but she wants NONE of it. Her mood is that the marriage is over and she wants to start fresh.

Auction Christie's Elizabeth Taylor Jessica Simpson Jewelry

JESSICA SIMPSON WAS IMPRESSED BY ELIZABETH TAYLOR’S JEWELRY

Jessica Simpson spent Friday afternoon with her girlfriends ogling the Elizabeth Taylor estate collection, which will be auctioned off at Christie’s in December after it travels around the world for people to see. Fans paid $20 a pop to see Elizabeth’s clothing, movie memorabilia, art, jewelry, Oscars, etc and the museum showing in West Hollywood was sold out. Jessica certainly wasn’t there to get fashion inspiration (Liz’s clothing was incredibly gaudy) but she did linger over Liz’s astonishing collection of gems and her 33 KT diamond in particular. We wonder if Jessica will bid at the auction.

Hoodie Jewelry Leonardo DiCaprio Thief

LEONARDO DICAPRIO WOULD RATHER LOOK LIKE A THIEF THAN BE RECOGNIZED

Surely Leonardo DiCaprio wasn’t surprised when he was mistaken for a thief in that jewelry store in Sydney, Australia. A lot of the time he LOOKS like a potential thief. Anybody running a jewelry store would be freaked out if two burly guys (bodyguards) followed by a furtive man covered up in a hoodie and sunglasses walked in. Most guys covered up in hoodies are up to no good, as President Obama is well aware. Time to push the silent alarm. Luckily, Leo took off his glasses and revealed his sweet face before there was a problem and it was endearing to hear that he picked out a necklace for his mother.

Crimes and Misdemeanors Entertainment Tonight Jewelry Lindsay Lohan Shoplift Video

YOU CAN WATCH THE TAPE OF LINDSAY LOHAN STEALING THAT NECKLACE ON MONDAY NIGHT

We were GLAD to hear that the jewelry store where Lindsay Lohan is accused of shoplifting sold the surveillance tape for $35,000! Who WOULDN’T – given the opportunity? The store has put up with a lot of aggravation for that $2500 stolen necklace and they have to spend who-knows-how-much time in court. The tape belongs to them and they have every right to profit from it. Selling it has NOTHING to do with Lindsay’s guilt or innocence. Everything she did IN the store and later – having the necklace delivered to the police instead of returning it to the store with an apology – indicates to us that she’s certainly guilty, and is, in fact, an experienced and clever thief. Watch the tape on ET Monday night.

Crimes and Misdemeanors Jewelry Lindsay Lohan Mink Coat Sticky Fingers Stolen

IT’S NOT THE FIRST TIME LINDSAY LOHAN HAS HAD STICKY FINGERS: HOW ABOUT THAT MINK COAT?

This stolen necklace situation with Lindsay Lohan is an instant replay of a stolen coat situation in 2008. The neighborhood jeweler who spotted a paparazzi photo of Lindsay wearing his missing necklace called her on it, and the jewelry was delivered to the police the next day. Back in 2008 Lindsay was at a party at 1Oak in New York seated next to a young woman who took off her $11,000 blond mink coat. When the woman got up to leave, the coat was gone. Days later, she saw paparazzi photos (above) taken that same night of Lindsay wearing the coat! She called 1Oak, who were of no help, and had her lawyer contact Lindsay’s lawyer. The next day the coat was delivered to her, reeking of cigarettes and booze. No apology, nothing. She didn’t press charges. A coincidence? We think not.

Angelina Jolie Fashion Golden Globes Jewelry Red Carpet

AS ANGELINA JOLIE GOES, SO GOES THE ECONOMY

Angelina Jolie usually gets talked about for the things she does, but regarding the Golden Globes, she’s now being talked about for what she DIDN’T do. She didn’t wear visible jewelry. The jewelry industry was bitterly disappointed by the shortage of ostentatious chunky diamond necklaces and earrings at the event. And they were particularly upset by Angelina’s simple, toned down look of long sleeves and no glitzy accessories. Industry insiders are terrified that it will catch on and it’s bad for business. Jewelers really depend on red carpet exposure to stimulate sales.

A LAPSE OF TASTE FOR RIHANNA: WHAT WAS SHE THINKING?

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

We can’t just let this slide. When mothers of the children in this photo take a close look at the picture they are NOT going to be happy. Rihanna is being very sweet with the kids but she’s wearing a surprisingly tasteless necklace that says “F—YOU.” What possessed her?

ELIN NORDEGREN IS WASHING THAT MAN RIGHT OUT OF HER JEWELRY BOX

Tiger Woods’ ex-wife Elin Nordegren is quietly selling all the jewelry her errant husband gave her wile they were married – and she doesn’t want anyone to know. She intends to get rid of the trinkets that remind her of her marriage so she’s having Sotheby’s sell the stuff. She instructed that it be sold without provenance – even though it might sell for a lot more money if buyers knew where it came from. Much of her collection will be in an upcoming auction.

Jewelry Kim Kardashian Pascal Mouawad

YOU CAN HAVE JEWELRY LIKE KIM KARDASHIAN FOR A FRACTION OF THE PRICE

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

Kim Kardashian is pictured walking out of Pascal Mouawad’s jewelry store in West Hollywood where she had a meeting to discuss her jewelry collection. Kim is using her extensive personal jewelry as inspiration – she is particularly fond of vintage Chanel pieces that she’s collected for years. Her namesake collection with Pascal will reflect her own favorite baubles… at an affordable price. (Sounds like a deal Elizabeth Taylor had years ago.)
