Super car brand Audi has been a winner all the way with its poweful S5 Sportback, sexy R8 Spyder, stylish A3 1.2 TSI and the glamorous A4 3.0 TDI. But as they say, sometimes even more is less.

Apart from being known for his delicious looks, scalding hot girl and many many kids, Brad Pitt is also famous for his passion for motorbikes. And yesterday, a new customised chrome bike reached his LA home, and we are told that this one looks macho indeed but has a metal seat. Ouch! Now that would hurt especially in the scorching heat these days.

Not much has been revealed about the new toy, but we can be sure that this one will be parked confidently along side the Ducati Desmosedici RR, Monster 696 and the selection of Harley-Davidson choopers that Pitt already owns. In a recent interview, the Hollywood star revealed that his bikes enable him to escape from the attentions of the world. It makes him just like “any other biker on the streets”.

A snazzy sport car is one thing other than a PYT (pretty young thing) that is sure make heads turn. We distinctly remember coming across reports of spotting a sexy Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, all chromed up and zipping by the streets of Dubai. And now, we hear of a similar wicked machine doing the rounds of Manchester in England.

The car is owned by an avid car lover El Hadji Diuof, who is also a player of the Blackburn Rovers Football Club of the English Premier League Football Club in the town Blackburn, Lancashire.

A year ago, there was a buzz about the concept-based TV from Brionvega – the Brionvega Alpha. And now to my much surprise, the company has finally unveiled “the new generation of Brionvega.’ Based on the modernist classics of Le Corbusier and Breuer, the TV features a 19-inch LCD screen installed within a chrome screen, an incorporated DVD player that comes with audio playback plus an iPod-shaped die-cast aluminum remote. It also offers you an option to get digital tuner fixed-in for additional amount.

It is available in three lively shades i.e. orange, silver and black and bears the starting price of €1,950 (£1,525; $3,000).
