Gwyneth Paltrow is scheduled to teach what is probably the most expensive yoga lesson ever taught. In an auction for Prince Charles’ charity, a fan paid $50,000.00 (no, we didn’t add three extra zeros…) for a private session with Gwyneth. "Someone has spent a great deal of money on it so I’m going to have to really come up with an excellent plan. Unfortunately, I can’t do it in the nude or anything to make it really exceptional…" Paltrow said. She went on to assure the bidder that she would do everything within her power to not make the lesson any more awkward than she just did.

Looking for a slam-dunk holiday gift… PLUS an exhilarating perspective on the new year? One man can offer you both, the now-legendary French artist Yann Arthus-Bertrand, who has brought to photography what Winged Migration and March of the Penguins brought to film. You may have heard of Bertrand's monumental coffee table book, Earth From Above, which documents from a bird's eye view the spectacular design of the planet’s natural systems – from estuaries and watersheds to archipelagos and deserts.
