Verizon Wireless has always provided it's customers with the latest technology and the coolest ways to integrate entertainment into our mobile phones. Now they're taking that a step further by giving away a trip to next years Grammy Award ceremony. Getting into the Grammy's is no easy feat; neither is getting into one of the Grammy after parties, which is another prize Verizon will be hooking the winner of this contest up with.

The grand prize in this contest is a VIP trip for two to Los Angeles, tickets to the show and exclusive access to one of the hot after parties, where the winner will be rubbing elbows with the likes of Jay-Z and his girl Beyonce. But I’m sure the after party won’t be the only highlight of the night. Last year heavy hitters such as John Legend and Kanye West hit the stage for a few rockin’ performances. This year, big names like Justin Timberlake and The Black Eyed Peas are sure to make an appearance as well.

Of course there can only be one grand prize winner, but don’t get too worried if it isn’t you; thankfully, there is a consolation prize. Bonus prizes include tickets to the Grammy telecast party in New York. Not exactly the same as mingling with the stars themselves, but definitely beats watching the show on the couch in your boxers.

Don't be left out; enter now for a shot at this once in a life time opportunity. Winning will definitely give you stories to tell for months to come!

Right now there's probably no better way to impress your friends then with a translucent TV screen. I'm talking about the Claro Holographic TV; a brand new type of technology that looks like it's straight out of the Jetsons or a movie like Minority Report. With the Claro Holographic TV you can use a projector to watch the upcoming game or the hottest music videos on a transparent display monitor. Not only does this revolutionary piece of technology look cool, it also performs well by providing exceptional picture quality and brightness, even in a well lit room.

The screen itself displays a 40” picture on a narrow sheet of glass, which gives off the illusion of a picture floating in mid air. And anything can be watched on a Claro TV, including cable TV, DVD's and you can even hook up your PC or favorite gaming console. The entire set comes with a pair of Ferguson Hill FH001 speakers, which are encased in glass, just like the TV. The speakers hike the price tag up by £9,999, to a total of £25,000 for the entire set. That's $47,200, and not a penny less.

A limited number of Claro Holagraphic TV's will be sold at Harrod's department store in the United Kingdom. It's easy to see that with a TV like this one, the future is definitely here. Now if we could get our cars to fly.

Palms Springs has always been a vacation location for the rich, and the Hamrick House is continuing the city legacy in a big way. But this isn't any luxury hotel. The superstars and the super rich who stay at this house want privacy along with their fun, and that's exactly what they get when they rent this state of the art home tucked away in the San Jacinto mountains.

This historic landmark was restored earlier this year, so you know it's fully pimped out. The Hamrick House has five luxurious bedrooms featuring modern interior design, and an expansive pool and lounge area with cabana's, a fire pit and multiple sitting areas. The house comes staffed with a concierge to wait on your every whim and desire. This includes making dinner reservations, spa treatments or things as simple as picking up dry cleaning and doing the grocery shopping.

The premiere feature of the Hamrick House has to be it's state of the art, outdoor movie theater. This is where the guests sit back and relax on plush couches and pop in a favorite movie to watch on a wide screen that takes an entire wall of the house. Now that's livin'. In addition to this, the Hamrick House has flat screen TV's mounted throughout for a more intimate viewing option.

Of course high end luxury doesn't come cheap. The Hamrick House rates start at $2,800 a night, going up to $18,000 a week at peak periods. But having your own private and personal resort experience for a week? Priceless.

Just when you thought the robotic vacuum was the most ingenious device for taking over mundane chores, along comes a machine that will not only iron but dry your shirts for you. I'm talking about the Dressman Shirt Ironer TJ10000. Obviously, someone over at Siemens knows that real baller has little time to worry about household chores, and can hook you up with this revolutionary machine for a mere 999 Euros (approximately $1275.22).

How does it work? It appears to be quite simple. The Dressman Shirt Ironer uses an inflatable body, made from parachute silk. Just place an already washed shirt (or your lady's blouse) on the body and it uses warm air to dry and iron your shirt in minutes. And this includes those tricky areas, such as the sleeves, the cuffs and even the collar. But the features don't stop their, the Dressman has 12 options for wet shirts, two options for damp shirts and it can also be programmed with cool air “freshen garments”. In other words, if your sweatshirt gets sweaty at the gym, just put it on the Dressman you'll get it feeling stick free in just minutes.

The Dressman Shirt Ironer is currently out of stock, but it's no surprise that busy people would snap up such a convenient and useful device. I'm sure Diddy already has a couple hooked up in his ultra luxurious closet.

Anyone who is really pimpin' knows that luxury isn’t only about hot cars and fine clothing. The home is just as important, and no home is complete without an ultra relaxing bathroom. So, you already have whirlpool tub with a flat screen mounted on the opposite wall. How about a state of the art, electronic shower to go along with that? Villeroy & Boch knows the importance of comfort, and has created a standalone steam shower that caters to your every need, at all times of the day.

The Aquagate steam shower is a standalone cabin that can be placed in the middle of your bathroom or off to the side, but who would want to stick such a beautiful creation in a corner? This shower was designed by a world class architect and was inspired by Stonehenge, so obviously someone put a lot of thought into this! The cabin has a very sleek and modern look, and is of course customizable; customers can choose different shades of wood or metal for their cabin. But Aquagate is much more than just a decorative piece of furniture, what it does will amaze you.

The Aquagate has the ability to spray different temperatures of mist at the same time from above your head, or from any of the six jets on the side. It’s settings allows the user to choose hot mist for a relaxation, cool mist for after a workout, and even aroma therapy. The shower comes complete with an touch screen electronic panel that can be accessed from the inside and the outside to create a customized shower experience for the moment. And for those moments when you just don’t have the time to lounge around, there are four automatic settings, one of which is especially designed to wake you up. Now there’s something everyone can use!

One of the best amenities that comes with the Aquagate is it’s built in music system. Aquagate will play any MP3 you load into it, or simply a radio program of your choice, meaning it’s no longer necessary to turn your stereo up full blast outside of your shower. Whoever owns this piece of equipment, easily has the coolest gadget of all!

Their mission statement reads: "Where remarkable pay-it-forward people come together to expand their spheres of influence in sensational and elite social settings." Their last event benefited "Head to Hollywood", a charity founded by Carmen Electra for brain tumor survivors. With a variety of prestigious supporting sponsors The Karma Foundation and its alliances have been successful in growing their membership worldwide. They have been known to hold their members-only roundtables in elite hotels and events at high profile venues. Ladies and gentlemen, may we present The Karma Foundation.

We always knew that the sentiment of generating positive energy will only create more positive energy. The Karma Foundation has utilized this principle and applied it in many areas including big-pimpin' parties at the Playboy Mansion.

Eric Stotz, one of the founders of the Karma Foundation along with James Pratt began the foundation back in 2005 with the goal of helping good people with good friends find professional and social advancement through philanthropic events.

Along with mixers, and private pool parties which have been at wonderful locations like the W Hotel to events at such legendary venues, as the Playboy Mansion where their latest event Kandyland took place on June 3rd of this year.Kandyland, entertained over 1000 guests who enjoyed the event which complemented its universal theme with celebrity DJ's, body-painted ladies, and the requisite bunnies, and based on the member's response plans to be an annual Karma Foundation event.Up-and-coming events include a exclusive poker tournament slated for later this summer and a black tie gala in the winter; one can only imagine what they are planning in 2007.

In addition to tremendous parties, the foundation members also hold roundtable meetings to network and to discuss ways of benefiting worthy causes. Marvin Epstein, one of board of Governors of the Karma Foundation who is a board member on 5 charities himself exemplifies this initiative. The members prioritize philanthropic organizations that they believe may need support as more and more funds are diverted to natural disaster funds and the like. Members are generally successful, well-connected, good-hearted, and business-savvy. Their process to join the organization is by invitation from a founder or existing member. (For the
not-so-well-connected, one can also fill out an application and be considered for membership.)

What makes the Karma Foundation different from many other well-meaning social groups? While the foundation anticipates it will significantly grow its members in the next year, the founders believe that its invitation-only policy ensures like-minded members and an amiable tone that lends itself to truly efficient and effective networking. While many would assume that it is non-profit, Karma is actually an LLC (limited liability company) that gifts its members with networking and entertainment services.

The Karma Foundation's first chapter sprung up in Los Angeles, and others are developing around the country in San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Dallas, as well as in London and Australia internationally. Check out more information on upcoming events and how to join at The Karma Foundation

If you’re still rockin’ Von Dutch hats and apparel, I hate to break it to you but there’s a new brand of motorcycle loving fashion in town, and its name is Ed Hardy. Ed Hardy has become famous for it’s signature vintage tattoo wear, which has been quickly snapped up by celebrities and non-celebs alike. At the helm of the company are two talented artists, both at the top of their game. Christian Audigier, who once worked for Von Dutch, brings the fashion design talents to the table, and Don Ed Hardy is the tattoo artist who brings the vision of the line together.


So what makes this clothing line different from others? Mainly their tattoo inspired designs, which they’ve made available on hats, shoes, jeans and clothing for men and women of all ages. Most notably, a type of shirt they invented, called a tattoo sleeve. The tattoo sleeve is a mesh sleeve attached to a t-shirt, which gives the wearer the illusion of having a multitude of multicolored tattoos covering his or her arms. So for those who have a fear of needles, or perhaps are a little bit commitment phobic, these shirts are the perfect solution.

The rest of their line features over 140+ graphics to choose from, including skulls, roses, animals and knives, and you can bet new designs are always popping up. Along with that, many of the designs also include slogans such as “love kills slowly”, “love dies hard“ and “death before dishonor”. Making it even harder to choose, the company also has it‘s clothing categories well covered. For those looking for a unique pair of shoes, Ed Hardy has seven different styles, including sneakers, decks, high tops and flip flops, and several designs and colors under each.

It’s impossible to deny that Ed Hardy is expanding at a rapid rate and quickly becoming a lifestyle brand. In addition to clothing, there’s also an Ed Hardy line of cosmetics, energy drinks, bottled water, and of course custom choppers. Basically, whether you’re looking for hip hop fashion or an edgy hard rock look, Ed Hardy is bringing it.

"HONG KONG - Paris Hilton says her upcoming album will be a mix of reggae, pop and hip-hop, with the first single being a reggae song called "Stars Are Blind."

Hilton will also do a remake of the Rod Stewart song "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?," she was quoted as saying in the June issue of Hong Kong magazine Prestige.

"The whole album has so much different music on it. I like all music. It's not like I only like pop or only rock. I want to have something for everybody," Hilton said." [Via yahoo.com]

The PimpWiz.com Bottom Line: This is going to get real ugly. We heard the leaked version of one of her track,"Turn You on" and it makes William Hung sound like Al Green. We amost puked in our mouths just thinking about it.

Oh and Scott Storch, don't think we didn't hear that you are producing this. We are praying to it's just a terrible rumor.

PimpWiz can report exclusivly that sources close to Brooke Hogan (Hulk Hogan's daughter) have confirmed that Storch will be producing her new music project.

No, seriously we aren't joking. We love your tracks but man we got to put you on blast for this one. How do you go from "The Roots" to this...

This is what he posted March 14, 2006 on his website:

"So, here's the story... I said to my girlfriend that any stupid website could get tons of hits, simply because people are bored all the time. She said that I was an idiot and couldn’t make a website that could get tons of hits if I wanted to. After a long argument (mostly centered around the fact that she called me an idiot) we made a bet:

If I could not make a website to get 2,000,000 hits, I would agree that I was an idiot; however, if I could make a website to get 2,000,000 hits, she would have a menage a trois (that's a threesome to you non french-speakers) with me and another girl. I thought she was kidding at the time, but then she said she was so sure of herself, that she would even put it in writing.This of course is an ultra-binding contract.

So, this is my somewhat lame attempt to get two million hits. I’m pleading to all my fellow guys (and any supportive ladies) to please forward this to as many people as possible so I can make my girlfriend eat her words... and more importantly get my threesome! I'm going to ask one or two of her friends and maybe scout the local bars a bit, but if you know of someone who might want to be our third, please contact me
If I start getting a ton of hits, I'll post updates about my girlfriend's reaction and a picture of the third girl once I find one.THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!" [Via HelpWinThisBet.com]

The PimpWiz.com Bottom Line: Currently the counter is over 16,000,000 hits in a little over a month. All we know is he obviously didn't request a bonus package for exceeding the original bet. I guess he will learn for next time ;-) His weekly traffic average was in the top 3000 for websites in the US...somebody get this kid a job![ PimpWiz]

"Nick Naylor doesn't hide the truth…he filters it."

What happens when a powerful subject is flipped on its backside and hung upside down? Something refreshingly exhilarating. Thank You For Smoking, directed by Jason Reitman, the son of genius director, Ivan
Reitman, takes an interesting spin on a subject that has been overwhelmingly depressing.

The sardonic comedy follows the scheming of Big Tobacco's chief spokesman, Nick Naylor, played by Aaron Eckhart, who is quoted as being, "The Sultan of Spin," based on his uncanny ability to turn a problem into a solution. During the movie, Nick Naylor, the cigarette lobbyist, attempts to remain a role model for his twelve-year old son. Naylor is the king of talk and it shows in this 90-minute catalog on how cigarette smoking has consistently shielded itself from the truth.In a world that constantly creates new laws and regulations, this movie goes into depth (without really trying too hard), as to how simple it is to make all that's wrong, feel so right..

This movie will catch fire. The fact that it hasn't yet surprises me. Anybody who can appreciate great acting, innovative cinematography and a witty plot, should run to the theaters." [Via PimpWiz.com]

No sooner had laser-hot Kanye West finished rapping about a character "addicted to retail" at a party to celebrate his Source magazine cover the other night, then a rep from American Express handed him an Amex Black Card.

That's not gonna help the 26-year-old West's shop-aholism.

The platinum-selling West, whose "College Dropout" CD is on Billboard's Top 10, was shocked to receive the plastic pass to unlimited spending.

A person has to spend at least $150,000 a year for Amex to invite you to join the exclusive club - which is said to include Sean Combs, Russell Simmons, Denzel Washington and Damon Dash.

Lil' Kim wears a diamond-encrusted one around her neck.

In fact, though a company spokeswoman says there is great diversity among the few thousand "CEOs, athletes, artists and entrepreneurs" (including pitchman Jerry Seinfeld) who carry the slice of superaffluence, hip-hop stars have so taken to the card that West calls it the "African-American Express Card."

"It's a sign you've arrived," the Amex spokeswoman said.

West - who's also produced cuts for Janet Jackson and Alicia Keys - wears only Ralph Lauren Purple Label, boasts numerous Rolex watches and Louis Vuitton cases. But he's is at least more socially conscious than earlier rappers for whom acquiring bling was the be-all and end-all.

An activist with Simmons' Hip-Hop Summit Action Network whose mother is a Ph.D., West says, "I'm a cat with a Benz and a backpack."
