Can you even imagine if Michael Jackson were found alive? No, we are not promoting any conspiracy theory, but Michael Jackson had 3D scans taken of his body, believed to build a virtual reality double of himself. The 3D scan data has been put on sale on eBay by an anonymous U.S businessman, who claims to have these scans from 1996, when MJ was 37 years old. The anonymous seller asking $1.5m, says this data was collected using the same equipment that creates the data used to create video games or CGI avatars to make him speak, laugh, sing or dance. Given MJ’s reputation of surprising us with his financial, legal and medical woes for years, this could have been the biggest of them all before “This is It.”

The internationally recognized auction house, Gooding & Company, ever since setting the record at Palm Beach in 2006, is looking for the right opportunity to return. And here they are again with their first ever auction in Florida. Among the number of exceptional consignments, the best of the show will be a 1931 Voisin C20 “Mylord” Demi-Berline. A unique combination of technical and artistic excellence, this C20 is recognized as a marvelous tribute to the design and engineering genius of Gabriel Voisin. Powered by one of only five extraordinarily intricate Voisin 12-cylinder sleeve valve engines known to have been built by the aviation pioneer, it is one of the most complex engines from the pre-war era. Voisin has transferred the lessons of aerodynamics to vehicle dynamics in his unusual interior designs with an array of dials and switches that are exposed for the driver to see. Gooding & Company’s one-day auction will take place on Friday, March 12, 2010 at 4 p.m. on the grounds of the Amelia Island Plantation.

Perfect8 speakers are certainly not new to the elite audiophiles. You might recognize them better with the pseudonym “Most expensive Glass speakers,” which we featured on our Top 10 luxury speakers list. This Sweden-based manufacturer, in their mission to produce the world’s most exclusive and best sounding loudspeaker systems, has now come up with an ultimate surround sound system that will baffle you for more than one reason, especially for its $566,000 price tag. The ultimate Perfect8 5.1 ensemble comprise five floorstanders, including two Force tower speakers for the front left and right, a Force Center channel speaker and a pair of Point speakers for the wealthy audiophiles along with a passive subwoofer (The Cube).

There is a reason that it is said that the tone produced by a Marshall amp is legendary. Dubbed as “the sound of rock” for the last 40+ years, Marshall celebrated its 40th year of tonal heritage in 2002 with a limited-edition handwired reissue of the Bluesbreaker covered in stunning cream leather by the car manufacturer Jaguar. No. 14 of the total 40 amps with gold plated chassis, control panel, logo, footswitch and screws is available for $8500, along with the original owner’s manual complete with a certificate signed by Jim Marshall, Bob Dover and all the people who were involved in each stage of the manufacturing.

Hollywood Power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are well known for their relentless pursuit of charity, and the duo are now venturing into another new dimension, all for the sake of charity, with their jewelry line for Asprey titled “The Protector.” Angelina found her inspiration from a snake ring gifted to her in her pregnancy days and the couple then dedicated their jewelry line to the serpent. The collection features limited edition gold jewelry and silver accessories including rings, cuff links, bracelets, spoons and cups, all with the snake motif. Reportedly, Angelina even wore one of the bracelets to the BAFTA awards. The collection will go on sale at Asprey stores in London, New York, Beverly Hills, Tokyo and Dubai later this week, according to Asprey officials. And the proceeds will benefit one of Angelina’s charity organizations, the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict. The snake-motif pieces would go well with your Cobra Vertu, just in case you are contemplating buying one.
