Lindsay Lohan – A Richard Phillips Film

Transitioning from her early days as a Disney movie actress to now becoming somewhat of a cult figure, Lindsay Lohan has emerged through multiple battles with society and has, for the most part, done quite well in different arenas of creativity. Her latest project is being the main subject of a short film by Richard Phillips and surf filmmaker Taylor Steele, simply titled “Lindsay Lohan.” The piece was filmed in Malibu, California with Lindsay on house arrest, making it just a tad bit more intriguing, depending on how you look at it. Enjoy!

Lady Gaga Wears Two More Outlandish Outfits in London

 Lady Gaga always tries to surprise her fans not only with new songs or dance moves but also her outfits. Her fashion sense is already something too common for us. We would probably be more amazed if the singer appeared makeup-free or in ordinary clothing. Anyway Gaga isn’t going to stop. Just have a look at her most recent outlandish outfits.


The black-and-white alien-style attire was something really new. Gaga wore a dress that featured a rigid structure to the side and the back. She accessorized it with black gloves, a black veil and a pair of teetering leather boots.

BMW 328 Hommage

The BMW 328 is widely considered one of the 25 greatest cars of the century, such so that the carmaker has produced a unique concept car to mark the 328′s 75th birthday. The BMW 328 Hommage is specially crafted to mimic the design of the original–an ultra-lightweight 1,720 lb. sports car utilizing carbon fiber-reinforced plastic. The automobile was also one of the first in the line to incorporate kidney grilles upon the front and wide-set tail lamps in the rear. The sleek, doorless design and simplistic earthtone interior make for deconstructed elegance.
Although no official specifications have been announced, BMW casually mentions the inclusion of a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine.

Model Kelly Brook Suffered Miscarriage

Kelly Brook suffered a miscarriage. The woman was five months pregnant when it happened. Both she and her boyfriend Thom Evans do not comment on their pain. They asked people to respect their privacy.

Kelly Brook’s rep told The Sun:

"I can confirm that Kelly and Thom have very sadly lost their baby. They request that everyone please respects their privacy at this very painful time and there will be no further comment.”

JustVim crew expresses deep sympathy to the couple.

Lady Gaga Leaves Little To Imagination Wearing Mugler Dress

 Lady Gaga seems to be unaware of what modesty is because her outfits are getting skimpier and skimpier. At a photo call in Mexico city the star appeared wearing a sheer blue dress from her favorite designer Mugler (she is reported to have bought the entire collection!) with no bra underneath. Instead she had square pieces of stripy tape to cover her nipples. She left little to imagination really. Didn’t look sexy at all but was unexpected.

Lady Gaga wouldn’t be herself if she hadn’t teamed her outfit with a pair of super-towering platform shoes. Too crazy even for her.

Jaguar C-X75 Supercar to be launched in late 2013

Jaguar has confirmed that its gorgeous C-X75 supercar concept will be heading into production and should be hitting a road near you by late 2013. The concept car received overwhelming praise since its debut last year at the 2010 Paris Auto Show. The car is jointly developed by Williams Formula 1 team and parent company Tata Motors.

Williams in particular will be providing insight gathered from the world of F1 racing, namely, its aerodynamic design capability, efficient powertrain technology and carbon fiber construction expertise. The new eco supercar will be built around a full carbon fiber chassis, which could see the car's final curb weight come in at less than 3,000 pounds. This should ensure not only stunning performance but also stellar fuel economy.
The microturbine technology previewed in the original C-X75 concept won’t make it to production in time for the 2013 deadline. Instead, the production version will initially feature a plug-in hybrid setup with dual electric motors, a downsized internal combustion engine and all-wheel drive. However, both Jaguar and its parent company Tata have confirmed their commitment to microturbine technology in cars, which means we could eventually see the new Jaguar supercar fitted with the jet engine based powertrain.
As for the plug-in hybrid system, it’s thought that Jaguar will employ a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, similar to the design to be adopted by Williams and other F1 teams in 2013. This downsized engine will be used to charge up an array of lithium-ion batteries which will power the car's two electric motors. Jaguar describes the system as being a parallel hybrid, which means this compact internal combustion engine should also drive the wheels along with the two electric motors. The car can either be driven at pure electric mode with a range of up to 30 miles or hybrid mode where the internal combustion engine works in parallel with the dual electric motors.
Jaguar promises that fuel economy will be comparable to a compact hybrid sedan on sale today, which means a combined fuel economy of around 40 mpg. Despite this frugality, performance will be world-beating. Some initial specs are a 0-60 mph time of less than 3.0 seconds, a 0-100 mph time of less than 6.0 seconds and a top speed in excess of 200 mph. To make sure that handling compliments the high speed, the new Jaguar supercar will also feature advanced torque vectoring technology, active suspension and carbon ceramic brakes.
