When a new form of media emerges, you can bet that advertising is not far behind, and that includes celebrity endorsements. Now that Twitter is in its 5th year and boasts millions of users, celebs can rake in as much as $10,000 per Tweet…depending on their popularity. Think of it as a mini-advertising campaign…in 140 characters or less!

So who are some of the famous people out there using Twitter as a side source of income? Here are a few:

In what is an undesirable situation for Abercrombie, the tacky yet unexplainably popular cast of Mtv’s “Jersey Shore” has received a business err…opportunity from the good people at the clothing empire recently. It seems that Abercrombie is concerned that the cast of Jersey Shore is damaging the reputation of the preppy clothing line. Hey, at least Jersey Shore's Situation Ferrari video was entertaining. Basically, the Jersey Shore cast has been cast out by Abercrombie & Fitch!

Esteemed fashion designer Amanda Che made waves at the Mercedes-Benz fashion week swimsuit show at the Raleigh on July 16th, 2011 with her tribal infused tributes. The exotic sports car rentals Miami lined the streets, and the models lined the runway!

The stunning models took to the runway to showcase Che’s own label, A.Che!, and the latest swimsuit collection by the designer.  The collection includes sexy leopard print, plenty of sea-colored turquoise options, and plenty of accessories.  The models featured interesting tribal face and body paint to finish off the look.

Above is a brief clip of Che's 2011 swimsuit collection, shown at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Miami

Mercedes-Benz Fashion week included many sough-after swim collections and designers, including Mara Hoffman, a celebrity favorite with a client list including Kate Hudson, Nicole Richie, Mischa Barton and the Kardashian sisters.  Did Kim Kardashian’s pimped out Rolls Royce appear outside?  Not so much, that beauty is in LA!

By week’s end, onlookers were left feeling a bit oversaturated by the hauteness of so very many swimsuits, but once in a while a breath of fresh air, like Mara Hoffman, cascaded down the runway with a decidedly different angle.

Emerging from a sea of spandex and Lycra, the designs of Mara Hoffman & Klee Van Schoonhoven feature unique silhouettes and prints literally bursting with color.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes enjoyed a hot date night recently in sultry South Beach.  Tomkat were spotted strolling hand in hand after enjoying dinner on July 16th.  No word on if the celebrity couple hired a chauffeured luxury car or other exotic rental car Miami during their stay.

Oprah and Lady Gaga

LeBron James Miami Heat

LeBron James seems to be settling into Miami, with a $9 million dollar mansion overlooking Biscayne Bay and a modest (insert sarcasm) fleet of luxury cars including a Ferrari F430.  Recently, the sports mega star has invested in a Miami clothing store called ‘Unknwn’, yet another sign that he is planting roots in South Florida.  Follow link for more details on LeBron's Miami mansion.

Automotive-inspired apparel can go either way…like Lindsay Lohan.   Fashion inspired by luxury cars can be interesting, understated and sophisticated, or just downright upsetting to the eyes.  Fashion design students challenged by Bentley recently created some pieces inspired by the new Bentley GT luxury car, please comment below with your opinions!  Follow link to view our available Bentley rentals.

After viewing some of these celebrity closets, mine suddenly felt like a shoebox!  Check out the following unbelievable celebrity closets:

1.    Mariah Carey
2.    Paula Abdul
3.    Nicky Hilton
4.    Eva Longoria Parker
5.    Victoria Beckham

Mariah Carey

This Grammy award-winning singer has the pipes of an angel and the wardrobe of a star, housed in a 12,000 square-foot closet.  Mariah owns an estimated 1,000 pairs of shoes and gorgeous Louis Vuitton luggage (that she eludes to in a song).  Located in Manhattan, Mariah’s closet would make even Sarah Jessica Parker envious!  She also drives in style, with a $400,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom that was a Christmas gift from hubby Nick Cannon.  Can't afford that?  Indulge in a Rolls-Royce rental Miami!

Shopping for him can prove to be a bit of a headache when the holiday season approaches each year, but fear not, for I have the perfect gift idea for that special man in your life this year!  Instead of wringing his neck, Snag a package of Otis James custom ties to wrap around your man's neck this year, they are both awesome and functional, as they will come in handy for all those obligatory holiday events, and make him feel like 007 (Aston Martin rental optional and also encouraged).

With fashion season smoldering, the chatter has turned its attention to the rapidly approaching “World’s Greatest Catwalk”, set to strut its sultry stuff on August 14th.  This luxury event will start at 3pm, culminating Copenhagen’s Fashion Week for summer of 2010.  So what makes this fashion show unique?
