Prada's for pussies. These handbags double as a convenient tool for ladies who like to deliver head traumas on the go. Available in white and black leather, but I'd recommend the latter -- bloodstains are tough to remove.

privé on emerald hill is located near the top of Emerald Hill, an exclusive, leafy, cobblestone clad street in the heart of Singapore.
Slated to open in May 2005, it will be an uber exclusive establishment fitted with Herman Miller designed sofas, Verner Panton and Pistillino vintage Italian lamps and a leather clad centerpiece showcase bar.
Simply by virtue of the location, size and design, privé will be positioned as an upmarket, exclusive café/bar that is promoted primarily via word of mouth and direct recommendations. Main focus will be on the after-work, after-dinner or pre-clubbing crowd. Operational hours will be from 3pm – 1am so this is also a haven for those seeking a late afternoon meeting/chat over some coffee, drinks or cigars.

John Casablancas stands by his claim that Gisele Bundchen is a "monster of selfishness". The model man, who founded Elite Models 34 years ago before retiring to Brazil five years ago and being tempted back into the business by its new owner, Eddie Trump, in January, is clearly still angry with the model who he is credited with discovering when she was 14-years-old. "When I criticise Saint Gisele it is only to put things on the right perspective," he told the Brazilian paper O Globo. "She behaved badly with people who made everything for her. There are those people who are humble and keep that in mind, and others who pretend they were born superstars." Casablancas, who tore into the 24-year-old model when she defected from Elite to IMG in 2000, also once famously branded Heidi Klum a "German sausage".
France's Catholic Church has won a court injunction to ban a clothing advertisement based on Leonardo da Vinci's Christ's Last Supper. The display was ruled "a gratuitous and aggressive act of intrusion on people's innermost beliefs", by a judge.
The church objected to the female version of the fresco, which includes a female Christ, used by clothing designers Marithe et Francois Girbaud. The authorities in the Italian city of Milan banned the poster last month as well.
