We last heard of famed Scottish photographer Rankin when his bespoke bottle for The Macallan

Rankin's cheeky new photography book.

single malt Scotch debuted. Now the shutterbug has released a new volume of edgy erotica appropriately titled Rankin’s Cheeky.

The book features a foreword by Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and an introduction by Heidi Klum, who has shed her clothes for the photographer’s skillful erotic studies on a number of occasions. “I’m never shy with Rankin,” Klum says.

Kate Moss has also been snapped by the master in her birthday suit many times; some of the images are featured in the book. “Any time Rankin takes a picture he knows what he wants, and there is really no chance of being anyone but who you are, even if you try,” she notes. “You can trust him. I trust him.”

With Tiger Woods now being associated with at least 10 women that he was sexually involved with, his celebrity is quickly falling.

Based on a consumer celebrity endorsers poll, Tiger has fallen from sixth to 24th place, which can only mean bad things for the golfer.  Wonder what all the endorsers are thinking right about now.  Maybe Woods should do a Playboy spot…

It’s that time of the year boys and girls!

Neiman Marcus unveils their 2009 Christmas Book.

Neiman-Marcus has unveiled the 2009 Christmas Book.  Oh happy days and damn any recession because we have visions of cupcake-shaped electric cars for the kiddos, the world’s fastest electric motorcycle, and dinner with some of today’s bestselling authors.  These are just a few of the fantasy gifts for sale in Neiman Marcus’ 2009 Christmas book.

Dallas-based Neiman Marcus made a conscious effort to offer more affordable options while not disappointing loyal luxury shoppers as it unveiled its Christmas Book at the Dallas Contemporary.

Among this year’s offerings are a customized Cupcake Car for kids that costs $25,000 and reaches top speeds of 7 miles per hour. For adults, there’s a 2010 Jaguar XJL super-charged sedan, priced at $105,000. Neiman Marcus customers will be the first to be able to purchase the vehicle, which comes with a 5-piece set of luggage that matches its leather interior.

This year’s his-and hers gift – an annual tradition – is an ICON A5 sports aircraft, with pilot training for two. It costs a mere $250,000.

At $200,000, the Algonquin Round Table Experience includes dinner for two at New York’s Algonquin Hotel with Malcolm Gladwell, John Lithgow, Nora Ephron with eight famous authors, including and Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

About 40 percent of this year’s catalog items are priced under $250.

The luxury retailer’s his-and-hers gifts and other over-the-top holiday gift ideas represent a tradition that dates back to the 1950s. Stanley and Edward Marcus started picking attention-grabbing gifts to get the store on national TV, and it still works.

Last year, the Dallas-based retailer offered all 530 square yards of one of the end zones at Texas Stadium and a party to go with it for $500,000. His-and-hers gifts were life-size Lego likenesses of the buyers for $60,000 apiece.

A limited-edition 2009 BMW Individual 7 Series sedan offered a year ago didn’t sell out. Thirty-one were offered to represent the number of years that BMW has been selling in the U.S. A car has been part of the catalog for many years and has been known to sell out in a matter of minutes.

Luxury has been hard hit by the recession and has experienced some of the biggest sales declines. Neiman Marcus is adding more merchandise in its middle price points this year, while it continues to sell its highest priced luxury brands.

For the second year, Neiman Marcus is publishing a separate holiday book featuring “giftable” items, many under $100.

Hollywood power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have plans to build their own private airstrip adjacent to their luxury estate in France.

Pitt and Jolie are trying to avoid the paparazzi with the building of this new small airplane strip where they could easily escape into the night without being seen.  Ahh, to be young and wealthy…

When most people think of visiting the Cote d’Azur, they fancy they will be clad in haute couture and dining only at Michelen starred restaurants.

Jack Nicholson enjoys his French holiday in unique style.

So what a delightfully refreshing change to see legendary actor Jack Nicholson showing them all how it’s done.

Surrounded by a bevy of ladies 50 years his junior, the 72-year-old actor has been jumping off of yachts to swim, floating in the sea while puffing on a cigarette, downing that drink that he claims is the “best in the world” — beer, and if that were not enough, he decided to take himself a catnap.

But it wasn’t a nap on the veranda of Club 55.  No, not our Jack.  He sprawled out on a grassy median and snoozed away.
