MEGA BLING.


With it's misshaped teeth and diamond studded skull, the latest piece of art from DAMIEN HIRST (famous for his preserved sharks) looks like an inverted image of rapper Paul Wall (known for his misshaped head and diamond studded teeth).

Entitled "For the Love of God" after his mum asked him "for the love of God what are you going to do next" (gotta love that, wish we could reveal a diamond covered skull whenever our mum asked the same thing), it's up for sale for about US$100 million. Not exactly cheap, but you can always justify it as being good value relative to the intrinsic value of the piece. Compare that to the ratio of the cost of paint and canvas in a Van Gogh to its sale price...

Anyway, we're betting 10 bucks and a goblet of crunk juice that Lil Jon buys it, adds a chain and starts wearing it around his neck.
