Princie Diamond, one of the largest and pink diamonds in the world, was sold at a New York auction for $40 million!

The pink diamond is a 34.64 carat gem with a “fabulous provenance,” according to Christie’s jewelry chief Francois Curiel.

The bid came from an anonymous telephone caller who paid $39,323,750 for the Princie Diamond.

The pink stone was from the ancient diamond mines in southern India. It was once owned by the royal family of Hyderabad, and by the London branch of Van Cleef & Arpels since 1960.

Christie’s jewelry acquired the pink diamond for 46,000 pounds, which is equal to $1.3 million today.

The bid sets a new record for Christie’s auction. Before Princie Diamond, the most paid gem at the exclusive jewelry firm was the 31-carat Wittelsback diamond which was sold for $24.3 million in 2008.

Fallen Angel, that is now how many refer to Miranda Kerr, one of Victoria’s Secret most famous model.

Since last week, rumors have been going around that Victoria’s Secret did not renew its contract with Miranda Kerr because “she was difficult to work with and didn’t draw in as many sales as her fellow Angels.”

The gorgeous model came out in the open to clear things up and say her hide of the story.

In an interview, Miranda Kerr confirmed she no longer has a contract with Victoria's Secret. She said being an Angel was too time-consuming and it was taking away precious time away her son Flynn and her husband Orland Bloom.

She explained that she has been modelling since she was 13, and now that she already have a family, it’s time to set her priorities. She added, “I’m just not in a position to commit to a full contract at this time.”

Ed Razek, Victoria’s Secret president and chief marketing officer said Miranda Kerr will always be an Angel to him, in fact, he invited her to walk the runway in this year’s fashion show. Razek was happy that she agreed.

Gwiyomi Song going viral

2013-04-06T00:04:00.000-07:00

So, after Gangnam Style another Korean song craze is spreading on the web and expected to bring more versions on YouTube the way Call Me Maybe and Harlem Shake did.

It’s the Gwiyomi Song or Kwiyomi Song, a digital single by South Korean artist Hari.

Many say that Gwiyomi means “cute” but as per this Wikipedia page, cute only refers to the last syllable mi. The first part Gwi can be translated as “ear” or “spoon.” Combined with the second syllable Gwiyo, it is a diminutive form of ear or spoon which means little ear or little spoon. So, the literal translation of Gwiyomi is “cute little ear” or “cute little spoon.”

Anyway, after the single was first released on February 18 of this year, it has garnered wide attention from netizens with many, yet again, uploading their own versions of Gwiyomi Song videos on YouTube.

Here is a compilation of the Gwiyomi Song videos on YouTube.

Here's another one...

Okay, I think that's enough.

Do you find it cute? Would you be uploading your own version soon?

How long do you think this trend would last?
