1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica fetches $3.5 million
1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica2.8 million euros ($3.5 million USD) is a lot of money. You can buy two Bugatti Veyrons, two Aston Martin One-77s and – well, you get the idea. However, if you’re a collector than you won’t feel bad cashing out $3.5 million for a 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica. The model brought in the highest price ever paid for a Ferrari Superamerica in Monaco over the weekend at RM’s Sporting Classics auction.
What’s so special about this car? It is one of only a handful of “short-wheelbase” 400 cabriolets ever built with a 95-inch wheelbase.
The car was originally purchased in Arizona in 1962 and the first owner immediately took it to the Bonneville Speed Trials where the V12 helped it hit a top speed of 145 mph.

David Boreanaz Cheatgate: Here Comes Gloria Allred
Did David Boreanaz confess to being unfaithful to wife Jaime Bergman to thwart Gloria Allred?
The camera-loving attorney, who has already made cameos in the Tiger Woods and Jesse James cheating scandals, has now inserted herself into the Boreanaz case.

Ferrari 599XX Laps Nürburgring in 6 Minutes, 58 Seconds
Ferrari is the latest manufacturer to claim a lap record on the famed Nürburgring, with the race-ready 599XX. ( Click here to read our review of the burly beast.) Test driver Raffaele De Simone lapped the German track just in 6 minutes, 58 seconds. Click here to watch an in-car video of the lap.
Ferrari says the 599XX is the first “production-derived” car to lap the ‘Ring under seven minutes, although using the word “production” here, while technically true, seems like a stretch. The 599XX has Lexan windows instead of glass, a trick active downforce system complete with trunk-mounted fans, costs $1.5 million, and isn’t road-legal. In our book, that’s pretty far from production, no matter how similar the bodywork is to a regular 599GTB. Regardless, 6:58 is blisteringly quick and a testament to the 599XX’s monstrous performance levels.

Charlie Sheen and Wife Brooke Split
After months of legal drama, rehab, bad disguises, buzz cuts and tabloid headlines, Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller have split.
“Charlie has returned to old habits,” a source close to the Mueller family exclusively tells E! News. “Brooke has moved out of their family home. Brooke and Charlie still talk, but they don’t see each other.”
Despite reports that Sheen moved back into his house with an escort, in turn prompting Mueller to leave, the source says that scenario is “totally false.”
“Charlie is still in rehab,” the insider explains. “He isn’t living at home right now.”
There was no immediate comment from Mueller’s attorney on the marital turmoil. However, Sheen’s publicist, Stan Rosenfield, disputed the family source’s contention, telling E! News the information is “not true” without elaboration.
