Abbie Cornish Sends Derek A Get Well Card From Grammy After Party. Mini Serves As Excuse

BMW took a break from the arduous job of creating new variations of its Mini, and went to a party. Even that was strictly business, Mini was the official partner of the Grammy after party at the Chateau Marmont, a hotel famous for its dead celebrities.

John Belushi infamously died of an overdose in a bungalow of the Chateau. In 2004, photographer Helmut Newton had a fatal heart attack upon leaving the hotel, and crashed his Cadillac.

Should you ever stay at the Chateau, also don’t miss the attractions in its vicinity, such as the body shop across the street. You can walk to your hotel if you’ve been at the shop for service, I’ve done it many times.

We use this opportunity as an excuse to show a few partygoers. Abbie Cornish sends Derek, who is still in great pain after his tonsil removal, a get well.

Some gentlemen don’t like blondes, for those, a Dita Von Teese.

And for good measure, a Kimbra.

For the perverts who like redheads or no hair, the Iconapops.

    Opening sentence...priceless. Blonde in perfectly fitted blue dress....there are no words. TTAC...best site on the 'net.

  • Lorenzo They won't be sold just in Beverly Hills - there's a Nieman-Marcus in nearly every big city. When they're finally junked, the transfer case will be first to be salvaged, since it'll be unused.
  • Ltcmgm78 Just what we need to do: add more EVs that require a charging station! We own a Volt. We charge at home. We bought the Volt off-lease. We're retired and can do all our daily errands without burning any gasoline. For us this works, but we no longer have a work commute.
  • Michael S6 Given the choice between the Hornet R/T and the Alfa, I'd pick an Uber.
  • Michael S6 Nissan seems to be doing well at the low end of the market with their small cars and cuv. Competitiveness evaporates as you move up to larger size cars and suvs.
  • Cprescott As long as they infest their products with CVT's, there is no reason to buy their products. Nissan's execution of CVT's is lackluster on a good day - not dependable and bad in experience of use. The brand has become like Mitsubishi - will sell to anyone with a pulse to get financed.
