World's Most Expensive Food Is Albino Caviar AKA “White Gold”

 And You Wont Believe How Expensive A Teaspoon Cost (Photos)

White Gold anyone??? Most Expensive Food Product - Dried Albino Caviar held by its creator Walter Gruell
A special type of caviar, made from rare albino fish eggs and laced with 22-carat gold, is thought to be the most expensive food on the planet. Priced at a staggering $300,000 per kilo (that’s about $40,000 per teaspoon), ‘White Gold’ caviar will be served to the super rich at some of the best restaurants in the world.
The powdery caviar, also called Strottarga Bianco, is the creation of Austrian fish farmer Walter Gruell, 51, and his son Patrick, 25.
According to Patrick, the Strottarga Bianco comes from the white roe of the extremely rare albino sturgeon. To make just one kilo White Gold, the father-son duo use five kilos of caviar, which is then dehydrated. Older sturgeon are used because the eggs are apparently more elegant, smooth, spongier, aromatic, and they simply taste better.
The albino beluga that produces the special caviar originally lived in the Caspian Sea, but it is now almost extinct in its native environment, making it a rare delicacy. Another reason for the prohibitive price of White Gold is the age of albino belugas. While sturgeons usually live over 100 years, few belugas reach that age due to a genetic flaw that shortens their life.

He also explained that the caviar they produce in Austria is among the best in the world because of the pristine, pollutant-free water that flows down from mountain snowcaps. “It is part of the reason why it probably tastes so good, that and the fact that it is specially seasoned before being dehydrated, when it loses 80 percent of its weight. It is then grated extremely finely and mixed with 22-carat gold, which in very small amounts has a very positive effect on the human immune system,” he added.




“The golden yellow white spreadable powder that we create can quickly be made into a paste, risotto, or put on toasted bread with butter. The taste is very strong and tastes distinctly like fresh fish. It only needs very small quantities for the flavor to be spread to a meal.”

Patrick admitted that white gold caviar is not meant for everyone because it is an acquired taste. But he does believe that there is a market for such exclusive products, especially when newly introduced. And in order to give people a taste white gold, they are currently offering the stuff at a discounted price of $112,000 to selected customers.

Chris Brown disses the Grammys, says he'll be happy if Rihanna gets with Leo Dicaprio


Chris Brown and Tyga are currently promoting their new joint album- Fan Of A Fan 2, which drops Feb. 24th and have been doing a lot of interviews. In an interview with Hot 97 today, Chris Brown dissed the Grammys, Drake, and said he'd be happy to hear his ex Rihanna is dating Leonardo Dicaprio. Meanwhile, Tyga said he's not going to stop being 'friends' with Kylie. Real all that below...
Chris Brown on The Grammys:
“The Grammy is f*cking bullsh*t. I’m that great that I don’t need to vote for myself. So many people are scared to say something. I kinda give it to Kanye [West] cause say what you want. I think it should be a different form of how they judge.
Chris Brown on Drake:
“This n*gga not making us no money by us talking about him. We not getting no checks by this n*gga. We making him hot by talking bout this n*gga. I’m not giving this n*gga no more ratings. I’m not taking his side cause I don’t mess with dude. I’m on probation so that’s all I’m gone say.

Chris Brown on Drake surprisingly dropping his mixtape If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late:
“Yea that’s cool, forget him though. We talking about Beyonce. But that’s copying what you saw from the success you saw from somebody else.”
Chris Brown on having to reschedule dates for the “Between the Sheets” tour:
“I lost $3 million from doing that, $3 million in production. The thing that hurt me the most was it was already an approval. I had 100 hours left, but they knew doing that would mess up a lot of stuff. So they were like I had to finish the 100 hours before I went on tour. I wish they had told me that two, three weeks in advance.”
Chris Brown on PETA coming for him and Karrueche :
“As far as PETA, I wish they would throw a cup of paint on me.” Then he quickly changed it up, “I don’t wish. I’m on probation, so how about we not throw paint and we find another way to converse on this situation [laughs].”
On he and Karrueche showing up in matching furs at NYFW:
“We’re great. We never really got a chance to step out as a fly couple so being able to do that during Fashion Week at Michael Costello show, we just got a chance to go to the show and have some fun. She’s on the tour [with me] now. I love that girl.”
Chris Brown on Rihanna:
He said he didn’t send Rihanna a birthday text, but said he would give her a high-five if she gets with Leonardo DiCaprio. “I’m not a hater, I’m not envious. I can’t have it all.”
Chris Brown on having beautiful women around him while he’s in a relationship with Karrueche:
“If I was were to have 15 girls in the studio, my girl know it’s 15 girls in the studio. Am I boning the 15 girls? Naw, but they’re giving me inspiration. I can have b*tches…around.”
Tyga on his “friendship” with 17-year-old Kylie Jenner:
“She’s just a good person. I love being around her. It’s my decision to continue to be around her. I don’t think it’s the world’s decision to dictate that.”
Tyga on Kylie’s family giving them the side-eye:
“We always hung out whether if I was in a relationship or not. They knew I had a kid. King [his son] would go over there and play with North [West] so it wasn’t nothing new. Life is about being happy and keeping yourself surrounded by people who bring that good energy.”
Tyga on tweeting Drake’s a “b*tch” on Twitter and then deleting it:
“Yea that was quick like, you know. You know how you get hot real quick then you think about it."
Tyga on Cash Money:
“I learned a lot being around [Lil] Wayne, but I started realizing the business wasn’t right. I would ask him [Chris] questions because I didn’t know. It got to the point where I had to speak how I feel. Then, when I started speaking up, people start coming at me like I was crazy. You see the situation with Wayne right now and now people are like ‘damn, you was right.'”
Tyga on getting out of his YMCMB deal:
“I was supposed to be out the deal. They agreed to a number to let me out the deal. I was going to pay them a few million dollars to get out the deal. Even though they owed me money, I was going to pay them because I’m not petty. I just want to move on with my life and continue to build. I don’t know what happened, everybody went M.I.A.”
Tyga on how he gets money:
“I have a clothing line that’s a $20 million company. I have a boxer line that we’re about to put in stores. I have a real estate investment company that I just started. I don’t have the shoe deal with Reebok no more, I’m with L.A. Gear. I’m about to bring the light ups back because I want to do something that’s retro that ties in what we’re doing [with the album].”

Here's why 100 million people have gone nuts over 'Fifty Shades of Grey'

anastasia steele fifty shades of grey.JPG

The "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie made $81.7 million on its opening weekend, making it the most successful Presidents Day weekend debut in history and one of the biggest debuts for an R-rated movie. 
Released in 2011, the first book became the fastest-selling novel written for adults of all time, and the three-part trilogy sold more than 100 million copies, putting it in the same class as the "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" series and making its author, E.L. James, over $90 million in one year.
This is quizzical, given that the critical consensus is that both the books and the movie are pretty terrible.
Why have so many people become obsessed with "Fifty Shades" in print and on the screen? 
To untangle that knot, we've gathered possible explanations from a range of reporters, critics, and academics: 

While appearing new and divisive, "Fifty Shades" is an old, beloved story.

If you cut away the light bondage, "Fifty Shades" is the same story as "Beauty and the Beast," which was originally a French fairy tale first published in 1756 before becoming a blockbuster Disney feature. 
So it's kinky, yet familiar. 
"Fifty Shades" fits "the time-honored trope: innocent girl falls for troubled man, endures his anti-social behavior out of belief in his ultimate goodness, and eventually teaches him to be a sociable, polite member of society," writes blogger Joe Bunting
That same "tame-the-ruffian" plot has been endlessly re-fashioned, from "Pretty Woman" to "My Fair Lady" to "Taming of the Shrew" to "10 Things I Hate About You." 

New technology made the book accessible — and hideable.

"Fifty Shades" started as an e-book sensation, which may have helped give it an initial lift. 
"People who like to trace all new trends back to new technology have offered this explanation — that women who wouldn't be seen dead reading smut on the tube could read it on their Kindle, and this launched a whole world of sales," argues Guardian columnist Zoe Williams

Anti-fans couldn't stop talking about it. 

People love to hate "Fifty Shades," argue British feminist lit scholars Sarah Harman and Bethan Jones in a 2013 article for the journal Sexualities, and that's a big reason that the series has swelled in popularity. 
"We suggest that 'Fifty Shades' has ... generated an ironic, even guilty, fandom in which readers and viewers bemoan the series' flaws, while enjoying (sometimes furtively) the texts," they write. 
In this way, "hate reading" the books is a way of deeply engaging with them, as well as telling everybody about your taste. While the haters might dismiss the books as "bad literature," "popular," and "drivel," they're still talking about the books with their friends — making everybody more curious about what's inside. 
It worked for the movie, too. MSNBC editor Adam Howard has said that "Fifty Shades" is a zeitgeist-capturing conversation-driver like another big 2015 release — "American Sniper."
"These are films that become events because of the 'controversy' they generate as well as their box office numbers (which becomes something of a self-fulfilling prophecy)," Howard writes. "They drive audiences into pro- or con- camps that often have little do with a film's merits and much more to do with what they represent for their fans or detractors."

The movie was incredibly well-timed.

Universal was originally going to release the "Fifty Shades" movie in October 2014, but saved it for the Valentine's Day and Presidents Day combo weekend, usually a time reserved for family-friendly romantic comedies
"Fifty Shades" is anything but family friendly. 
"The gamble paid off," BoxOffice.com analyst Phil Contrino tells Variety. "It flies in the face of what you'd expect to be released on that day. It's usually safe and non-offensive dramas and comedies."

The sex is good.

Most sex scenes in books are terrible, says Williams, the Guardian columnist. That's why the Literary Review Bad Sex in Fiction Award exists — for authors that describe sex with awkward metaphors and excruciatingly awkward sex scenes, which are often disconnected from the plot.
Then there's "Fifty Shades."
"James' sex scenes are not incidental; they are the meat of the plot, the crux of the conflict, the key to at least one of and possibly both the central characters," she says. "It is a sex book."
In this way, "Fifty Shades" captures something that serious fiction misses: sexuality. As New York Times critic A. O. Scott says, the novel "trashily" and "triumphantly" succeeded in being something that there's a proven market for: pornography. 
The film — in fitting snugly within the R-rating — is much less explicit than the book, but surprisingly relatable.
"The sex scenes are closer to actual sex between two people who like each other than almost anything I've ever seen in a theater," writes Business Insider's Shane Ferro. "They're not even really that good, but they are better than the male-centric sexual cliché that Hollywood usually churns out."

Mike Tyson Still Doesn't Regret That Face Tattoo

Mike Tyson Mysteries seems like a hallucination one might have experienced following an uppercut from the former world champion 20 years ago. Oh, look, there's Iron Mike, tooling around in a "Scooby-Doo" van, solving mysteries with the help of a ghost, a teenage Korean girl, and an alcoholic, masturbating pigeon with Norm Macdonald's voice.
So when is it time for me to wake up face down in some boxing ring?
The animated series of 10 quarter-hour episodes—which premieres October 27th at 10:30pm ET on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim—is only the latest insane step in a rehab process that's slowly transforming Tyson's public image from monster to funny retired sports hero. Basically, Tyson has pulled a nearly complete reverse O.J. Simpson.
"Whoa!" Tyson, 48, said during a phone interview. "I don't know. That's pretty interesting that you said that, but this is what I know—it's because I put forth the effort, but it has a lot to do with a lot of other people, too, being patient with me and having the confidence and belief in me."
Tyson's knockout from grace involved a rape conviction, making ear sushi out of Evander Holyfield, and a whole bunch of other stuff we invite you to read about yourself on Wikipedia.
The Hangover was how it all started coming back around. In the 2009 comedy hit, Tyson—who later admitted to taking the part to fuel a coke habit—played up his negative image to tremendous comedic effect.
"People told me I was funny—the executives," Tyson said. "I never in all the years thought that I was.”
Tyson said comedy is not so dissimilar from his old job: "You have to feel the timing, just like fighting. It's not about the rehearsing. It's about feeling it and going in precise time, just like punches."
The Hangover led to a standup comedy act, which HBO filmed for a 2013 special, Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth, and nowMike Tyson Mysteries.
"Some executives came to me," Tyson said. "I didn't think it would be a good idea, the writers didn't think it would be a good idea. So we went in the studio, and it turned out pretty good."
Tyson said his character on the show shares his real-life love for pigeons, his poor driving skills, and his crippling neuroses.
"I'm a worry wart," Tyson said. "My head is driving me nuts. I'm always thinking about something that's not true, that's going to happen but never happens.
"Man, it's really weird," he said. "But it's good stuff."
When asked who he thought was more insane deep inside, Norm Macdonald or himself, Tyson had a surprising answer: He has never met his co-star and has no idea who the formerSaturday Night Live news anchor is. (They recorded their parts separately and Macdonald blew off the show’s Television Critics Association press conference.)
"Man, I don't know Norm from a can of paint," Tyson said. "I met the guy that did the ghost and I always thought that was Norman. What I do know about Norman is that he's very famous. Around 100 people already in the street asked me, 'Hey, you're working with Norm Macdonald?'"
Tyson said he has few regrets about his past. “I understand the game now,” he said. “It’s about just being grateful for what you have now and not to really dwell on the past. There’s no future in my past. My future’s in my future.”

Floyd Mayweather Announces Fight With Manny Pacquiao Is Set For May 2

At long last, pound-for-pound greats Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao will fight.
Yes, the bout that looms as one of the most anticipated in boxing history is finally on.
For more than five years sports fans have clamored for a summit meeting between the two best fighters in the world, and after various failed negotiations -- and a protracted and difficult effort to make the fight in recent months -- they will get it on May 2 to unify the fighters' welterweight world titles at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The showdown is a lock to be the richest in boxing history and will, barring a draw, settle the issue that has been debated for years: Who is the No. 1 fighter in boxing and who is the king of this era?

Mayweather made the announcement on Friday afternoon on a social media platform called Shots, of which he is an investor.

"I am glad my decision to meet with Manny and discuss making this fight happen helped get the deal done," Mayweather said, referring to a chance Jan. 27 meeting with Pacquiao at a Miami Heat game followed by a private discussion after the game. "Giving the fans what they want to see is always my main focus. This will be the biggest event in the history of the sport."

"Boxing fans and sports fans around the world will witness greatness on May 2," Mayweather said. "I am the best ever, TBE, and this fight will be another opportunity to showcase my skills and do what I do best, which is win. Manny is going to try to do what 47 before him failed to do, but he won't be successful. He will be number 48."

In addition to the future Hall of Famers finally hammering out a deal for their welterweight title unification bout -- one that will see Mayweather receive the lion's share of a 60-40 money split in a fight that could gross around $400 million -- rival premium cable networks Showtime, which has Mayweather under contract, and HBO, which has a deal with Pacquiao, went through a brutal negotiation.

The networks resultingly will come together to produce and distribute a joint pay-per-view telecast, which is expected to cost a record-high $89.95 (and probably $10 more for high definition).


The fight is expected to shatter every revenue record in boxing history, including the pay-per-view buy record of 2.4 million generated by Mayweather's 2007 junior middleweight championship fight against Oscar De La Hoya; the all-time pay-per-view revenue record of $150 million generated by Mayweather's 2013 junior middleweight championship fight against Canelo Alvarez; and the all-time gate record of $20,003,150.

"Everyone involved, including Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, knows this fight simply had to happen," said Stephen Espinoza, executive vice president and general manager of Showtime Sports. "All of us are thrilled to be able to deliver this event to boxing fans around the world.

For years, Mayweather and Pacquiao have been the two best fighters in the world, fighting in the same weight class but having not faced each other despite constant public demand.

Both have been considered the pound-for-pound king at various times, with Mayweather having held that mythical position for the past few years with Pacquiao right behind him for most of that period.

Dubai Infero : Fire rips through one of the world's tallest residential buildings in Dubai

 

The Dubai Marina Torch, an 86-storey building which stands (1,105 ft), was engulfed by fire in the early hours of today forcing a mass evacuation.

Thousands of residents were evacuated from the highrise and it took more than a dozen fire trucks to extinguish the flames.

Authorities say there were no reports of deaths or injuries from the Marina Torch fire and the cause of the fire is not immediately clear. See photos from the incident after the cut...
