Outrageous Celebrity Valentine’s Day Gifts

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, some of us will be scrambling for romantic ideas and gifts for our significant others. Looking at celebrities for inspiration could prove to be a bit discouraging: while us mere mortals are thinking a small gift or romantic dinner is enough, there is a whole other love dimension playing out.

Perhaps if you have the money to lavish on your partner then it’s not such a big deal. But, are the highly-priced, outlandish gifts handed out for attention and media coverage, or is it a token of sincere love?

Admittedly, there is something quite touching about Angelina Jolie’s Valentine’s gift to Brad Pitt a few years ago. A 200-year old olive tree valued at $20,000, which she purchased from a nursery in the south of France. The reason she chose this specific gift? It represented their love because an olive tree is a symbol of stability, longevity, and peace. One does have to wonder how that tree is doing now?

A bit more on the showy side is Kanye West’s gift to Kim Kardashian in 2013. A $73,000 Panthere De Cartier cuff, laden with diamonds, emeralds, and white gold. Of course, it was not kept secret and personal between them – it was featured all over Instagram. Similar to another West/Kardashian Valentine’s Day, Kanye sent Kim 1,000 red roses. And, what did she do? She rolled around in them (as you do…) and got 8 million views on Instagram.

Resembling a more authentic and romantic Valentine’s, John Legend was the ultimate gentleman, whisking his wife off in their private jet to an undisclosed location. They had their own personal Valentine’s Day and didn’t share it with the media. Keeping it real.

Where there are less ostentatious celebs, there will also be the more flamboyant ones. Like David Beckham’s big expense in 2006. He gave his wife, Victoria Beckham (also known as Posh Spice), a diamond Bulgari necklace costing a substantial $8 million. Was he trying to overcompensate for something?

This makes Howard Stern’s gift look cheap. In 2007, he proposed on Valentine’s Day with a 5.2-carat emerald-cut ring worth $250,000.

What a Body Language Expert says about Prince Harry

A body language expert recently revealed the meaning behind Prince Harry’s gestures, facial expressions, and body language. After analyzing photographs of Prince Harry in the media, the expert claims he is a ball of nerves and constantly anxious. Not too surprising considering Harry is always under intense public examination, he’s newly-married, and about to become a first time father. Who wouldn’t be anxious?

The body language expert observed that Prince Harry hasn’t suddenly become anxious but has actually developed anxiety since meeting his current wife, Meghan Markle.

In the early days of their courting, Harry showed odd gestures such as hand clasping his jackets, or suddenly frowning followed by a series of serious facial expressions. As a youth, Harry had a naughty boyish look that endeared him to us but he was never so serious.

When comparing Meghan’s behavior and response to her pregnancy versus Prince Harry, she really does show unmasked pride, love, and joy for her ‘bump’. Harry, however, is showing more signs of quiet panic by not publicly making a fuss or showing overt signs of enthusiasm. He has taken on the role of bodyguard, always looking worried with arm gestures of protection.

The experts may have us believe there is something significant about Prince Harry’s demeanor and body language, and they could very well be right. However, given recent tabloid news claiming rivalry between Harry and Meghan, and William and Kate, the Royals have a lot of rumors to deal with (whether they are true or not).

Prince Harry has spent his entire life in the spotlight. Each moment of sadness, happiness, naughtiness, kindness or rudeness is captured for millions to see. It’s enough to stress anyone out. Now that Harry is taking on more personal responsibilities and as always, more scrutiny, who can blame this handsome young Royal for taking life a bit more seriously.
