STRAIGHT BALLIN !!!!! Marking the end of seven years of construction work, India’s richest man is planning a housewarming party for his 27-story palatial new home in Mumbai, replete with no fewer than three helipads and an air-traffic control station on its roof. The 570-foot-tall glass tower, called Antilia, “features a swimming pool, a health club, a salon and a mini-theatre,” reports the Times of India. “The first six levels comprise the garage where more than 160 cars can be parked. Atop the parking lot is Antilia’s lobby, which has nine elevators.” The house also has a garden that can accommodate trees, according to the Telegraph, and a separate ballroom. About 600 staffers will be required to run Antilia, named after the mythical island in the Atlantic.

I AM A VERTU OWNER SO I GOTTA SEE WHATS UP WITH THIS It packs all the high-end design features that set a Vertu apart from more common mobile phones, but packs a full QWERTY keyboard and a wider screen to keep its user connected and in the loop. For the Quest, Vertu has also introduced new features like Vertu Remote Assist that allows the tech support team on call ’round the clock to go into the phone and fix whatever’s not working. There’s also Vertu City Brief, providing users with fingertip access to information on whatever location they’re traveling to. All that and more, packed into a choice of stainless steel (matte or polished) or 18-karat gold case with a leather back and sapphire crystal screen.
