I’ve never been drinking an amazing Champagne and thought, “Hey, I’d like this all over my body!” Apparently, people who work at the Cadogan Hotel have. Starting today, they’re offering a Champagne bath menu. To fill the tub, it take 122 bottles so you can imagine it’s a little pricier than grabbing a beverage from … Continue reading

sports illustrated swimsuit bomb
There’s a fine line between bombshell and bomb. The new Sports Illustrated cover got leaked and, as rumored, Mark Sanchez’s hookup is on the cover.

After a laundry list of booze that includes Patron, Ketel One and Absynthe (huh?), she finally gets to the wine: “1 bottle of red wine … Continue reading
