Perfume Co. Sues Jay Z Living Up To His End Of Their Deal

Not everything Jay Z touches turns to gold -- his cologne line is an absolute disaster and it's all his fault ... according to a lawsuit filed by the manufacturer. 
Parlux Fragrances is suing Jay for failing to live up to his end of their deal. The company says it made a licensing agreement ... where it would use his name and image to launch Gold Jay Z in 2013. 
But Parlux says Jay was supposed to do more -- like make social media posts and promotional appearances, but he declined. The co. says he refused to appear on 'GMA,' at Macy's and in Women's Wear Daily to pump up the scent.

Couple Find Gold Coins Worth $10m In Back Yard



A couple have hit the jackpot after they discovered $10m (£6m) of mint condition gold coins buried underneath an old tree in their back yard.
The face value of the 1,427 coins, which date from 1847 to 1894, is around $27,000 (£16,000) but some of them are so rare they could sell for nearly $1m (£600,000) each.

The husband and wife made the find inside eight rusted metal cans as they walked their dog on their property in Gold Country, California, and now plan to sell most of the coins online.

David Hall, co-founder of Professional Coin Grading Service, which authenticated the find, said: "I don't like to say once-in-a-lifetime for anything, but you don't get an opportunity to handle this kind of material, a treasure like this, ever.
"It's like they found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow."

The couple have chosen to remain anonymous, but have loaned some of the coins to the American Numismatic Association for its National Money Show in Atlanta on Thursday.

PHOTO: Indian Man Shows Off His Swag In N34m GOLD Shirt!

An Indian businessman, Datta Phuge has paid £162,000 for a shirt made out of gold. The monster weighs in at 3kg (7 lbs), and could hardly be called understated. Best part - Whenever Phuge wears his £162,000 gold shirt, he has to be accompanied by a security guard!!

Phuge, nicknamed 'the gold man',  has a passion for gold. And he also wears chunky necklaces, rings and bracelets of his favourite metal along with the shirt - which must hamper his ability to do just-about anything. 

Traditionally in India wearing gold is a sign of wealth, so each time his property and money-lending company makes a profit Phuge buys himself some more gold. He says a gold mobile phone and shoes are next on his wish list.

Video: 3 Tsunami Survivors Received Gold Bars from Mysterious Benefactor



At least three people in the small Japanese fishing port of Ishinomaki have received gold bars from a mystery benefactor through the post.
The town was devastated by the 2011 tsunami, and most of it has still not been rebuilt.
In total, the gold bars received so far are thought to be worth around $250,000.
The townspeople say they do not know who has sent the gold, but they hope to use it to restore the area.
