Apparently, rapper Jay Z is a watch fanatic like me. Watches are my one weakness. But I would never drop $37,000 for a watch with a rubber strap in this recession. They say fools and their money are easily parted, and Jay Z is living proof of that.

Here’s what he’s wearing courtesy of Upscale Hype blog:

Rap mogul Jay-Z was seen out and about in a pair of destroyed Prps jeans and a pair of Nike Dunk Hi Premium sneakers ($95) in a red oxide colorway. The shoe features a suede and nubuck upper, leather safari print on the toe cap and a gum sole at the bottom. He appears rather ordinary until you notice the extraordinary Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore watch (estimated $37,000) on his wrist. This Audemars Piguet timepiece comes equipped with a black dial illuminated by hands and hour markers, a black rubber bezel on a gold 42mm case, and a black rubber strap.


47-year-old Paula Abdul looks so young! The former American Idol judge was spotted out & about today wearing some funky white 6-inch heels with patent leather toe caps. I want to say her heels are Lanvins, but I’m not a fashionista so don’t quote me.

More after the break…

Rapper-turned-actor Ice T’s wife CoCo and her bulldog puppy were spotted leaving the Law and Order-SVU set in her white COCO edition Cadillac.
