Chris Cester Shows Us Real Rockstar Style

If the name Chris Cester doesn't sound familiar, don't feel out of the loop; the Australian is the drummer and backing vocalist for the band Jet, which I'm sure rings a bell (and his brother is lead singer Nic Cester).

If the name Chris Cester doesn't sound familiar, don't feel out of the loop; the Australian is the drummer and backing vocalist for the band Jet, which I'm sure rings a bell (and his brother is lead singer Nic Cester). The news that Cester had listed his three-bedroom, two-bath Los Angeles home for $1.135 million wasn't particularly exciting — that is, until I laid my eyes on it. The cliché "rockstar style" doesn't come close to the hip factor of this rocker's home. From shapely upholstered headboards to intricate wallpapers to a Murano chandelier, Cester has all the elements of an elegant home, but he's topped it off with musical instruments galore and cheeky, irreverent photography; the juxtaposition is flawless.

Trend Alert: Gray Jeans

It's not shocking, it's not new, it's gray jeans.

It's not shocking, it's not new, it's gray jeans. We've been seeing so many blue styles lately, did you forget about the icy cool of the go-with-everything gray jean? I kinda did. To make matters cooler, Bar Refaeli wore a skintight pair with crisp white on top and bold black aviators on toppest. It's pretty swanky, and pretty easy. Fit is imperative here; make sure you try on a few pairs, as lighter-hued jean are less forgiving. But once you find your match, make them your mainstay — you'll be glad you did.

Amid Lean Times, Starbucks Buys a Jet

It's been all over the news that Starbucks took a financial hit in 2008.

It's been all over the news that Starbucks took a financial hit in 2008. So why is the coffee giant starting off its year on an even riskier note?

Flight records indicate that Starbucks purchased a $45 million corporate jet — around the same time last month it announced it was reevaluating its employee 401(k) matching policy. The Gulfstream 550 jet can transport up to 19 passengers, and includes such features as DVD players and floor to ceiling closets.

According to Starbucks rep Deb Trevino, the order for the jet was placed three years ago, and canceling the transaction would be too expensive. They ordered the jet to save costs; one of its two corporate jets is no longer under warranty and would require more repairs than a new model.

Corporate watchdogs have called this purchase "an unacceptable answer in 2009." It does seem to be representative of excessive corporate spending, especially after a year in which the chain closed 616 stores and slashed thousands of jobs.

Whose side are you on? Do you think this purchase will help the company's leaders work more efficiently, or is Starbucks losing sight of its priorities?
