Valentine's Day: The world's most expensive gifts revealed, including solid gold and diamond stilettos

V-day gifts to seriously spoil your loved one this February 14 - £25,000 compact mirrors and £1,800 chocolates.

Most of us will be hoping for a nice card or a bunch of flowers this Valentine's Day.

But for any man looking to really spoil his partner this February 14th, there are the world's most expensive V-day gifts to consider.

 From solid gold heels encrusted with over 2,000 diamonds for an eye-watering £140,000 to a £25,000 compact mirror - these Valentine's gifts are surely the most lavish ever created.

British designer Christopher Michael Shellis - who's taken note of a woman's love of shoes - spent three years creating the stilettos, which were crafted by skilled goldsmiths in temperatures of more than 1000C.

Naturally, he realised the shoes would indeed need a matching bag, so has also designed an equally luxurious clutch - for a whopping £200,000. So you're all in for £340,000.

The traditional gift of chocolates on Valentine's Day hasn't been overlooked either, with a truly extravagant truffle being created by Danish chocolatier Fritz Knipschildt.

La Madeline au Truffle, a favourite of US star Oprah, consists of 70 per cent Valrhona cocoa blended into a creamy ganache with French truffle oil - which should explain the price tag of £1,800 per lb.

And for those of us just hoping for a card this year could be in line to receive a very bling version - such as the custom made luxury Grand Couture line of cards - should our partners wish to part with around £3000.
Created by Gilded Age Greetings in Miami, USA, the cards are the most expensive in the world and feature rare pink diamonds and sapphires, white diamonds, red rubies and authentic Swarovski crystals.

 The company has even hired a poet to serve as a personal Shakespeare to help customers express the love they feel for their other half in a one-of-a-kind poem written in the classic prose of centuries gone by.

Co-founder of Gilded Age Greetings Melissa Schechter said: "Giving or receiving a Gilded Age Greeting Valentine's card is truly a memorable experience to cherish forever.

"I can't think of anything as romantic as this unique and heartfelt keepsake."

Lucy Hale Gets Playful in Sexy Bongo Ad Campaign Shot by Terry Richardson

In the shots, the 23-year-old actress poses with a number of oversized props, including a telephone, a teddy bear, a fishbowl and a hula-hoop. Hale works her doe-eyed look in the photos, dressed in a colorful array of the junior brand's bikini tops, bright jeans and printed dresses while eyeing the camera in a very confident manner.

Richardson has previously worked with such A-list talents as Lady Gaga, Kate Upton, Lindsay Lohan and most recently, Beyonce, for GQ's February cover.

Hale, for her part, has been looking to grow up from her more tween-centric fan base and will be redirecting her career back toward her musical roots, she told Billboard magazine in an interview.

"[The album] is something I wanted to do way before Pretty Little Liars or anything," she told the magazine. Hale recently signed with Hollywood Records to produce a country album later this year. "I grew up singing, and acting sort of came up along the way. ... [Recording] is a lot of weekends, it's a lot of long nights but I'm so passionate about it ... I'm just really excited."

But though Hale was among the winners in 2003's American Juniors, a short-lived spinoff of American Idol, the Memphis-born actress still admits that she has her occasional doubts.

"It's absolutely terrifying," she told Nylon magazine's December/January issue. "You only get one album. You only get one single. You get one shot in music. But I have a million different dreams. Why can't I go out and try to achieve them all? Who are you to say I can't?"

Mary O'Connor, Hugh Hefner's Longtime Playboy Secretary, Dies

Heavy hearts are aplenty at the Playboy Mansion today. Hugh Hefner's longtime secretary Mary O'Connor has died, the Playboy boss announced via Twitter on Sunday, Jan. 27.

"Mary passed away today. We loved her more than words can say," the Hef tweeted to his nearly 1,300,000 followers. O'Connor, who worked with Hefner for more than 40 years, was a familiar face to fans of E!'s hit show The Girls Next Door.

The three former stars -- and Hefner's then-girlfriends -- all similarly took to Twitter to share their condolences for the Playboy mansion's loss.

"RIP Mary O'Connor. She was an amazing person who helped me through so much," Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett posted. "But I know she's happy with her boo Captain Bob. :)"

"Thank you for all the sweet messages," Bridget Marquardt wrote. "Mary O'Connor will be missed. #RIPMary."

Holly Madison kept her sentiments succinct: "Rest In Peace Mary."

Hefner, 86, has previously credited O'Connor with helping to orchestrate his reunion with wife Crystal Harris, 26, after the two famously called off their engagement in June 2011. The couple married in a private ceremony this past New Year's Eve.

"It's Mary O'Conner that brought Crystal Harris back," Hefner tweeted on June 1, 2012, after the pair reconciled. "Crystal was miserable & said so. Mary told Crystal to write & tell me, which she did."

Harris also expressed her sadness over O'Connor's death Sunday.

"Hef's long time secretary & my dear friend Mary O'Connor has passed away," she wrote. "It's a very sad day here at the Playboy Mansion. We love you Mary."

Liberty Ross, Rupert Sanders Divorce: She Couldn't "Get Over" His Kristen Stewart Affair

After one of the most trying (and public) years of her life, Liberty Ross is ready to liberate herself from husband Rupert Sanders. As revealed on Friday Jan. 25, the British model, 34, filed for divorce from the director, 41, after ten years of marriage and two kids (Skyla, 7, and Tennyson, 5). The move (Ross asks for joint custody of the kids, spousal support and attorney's fees) isn't exactly shocking: Despite several amicable meet ups with the kids, the twosome had appeared to be mostly estranged ever since Sanders was caught (in exclusive Us Weekly photos) having a midsummer fling with Kristen Stewart, the 22-year-old star of his Hollywood blockbuster Snow White and the Huntsman.

"This was a long time coming," one source tells Us Weekly, explaining that, in the aftermath of the shocking tryst, Sanders "did want to try to repair the relationship and didn't want a divorce."

Ross, who picked up her life and career in London to move with her husband to Hollywood a couple years ago, "was more than a little upset," adds a second insider. "They gave it a shot for the kids, [but] she was just so angry . . .she's the kind of person who wouldn't really ever get over it."

The stunning brunette, who walked in Alexander Wang's NYC Fashion Show last fall, hinted at changes to come in a confessional video series for the designer. "[This year was] the end of some things and the beginning of something else," she continued. "Beginnings and endings are always really exciting."

By contrast, in the wake of her betrayal (and a very public apology) Stewart mended things with her longtime love Robert Pattinsonl; although the British hunk is now filming in Australia, the Twilight costars were most recently spotted together at a private Golden Globes afterparty in Hollywood Jan. 13.

Ashton Kutcher Was Hospitalized After Adopting "Fruitarian Diet" for Steve Jobs Movie

Ashton Kutcher definitely suffered for his art. To realistically channel the late Apple Inc. founder Steve Jobs in biopic jOBS, the actor, 34, went to extreme lengths: Watching "hundreds of hours" of footage, scouring the visionary's speeches, interviewing Jobs' friends . . . and even copying his "fruitarian diet," Kutcher told the Associated Press at the Sundance Film Festival premiere of the film in Park City, Utah on Friday Jan. 25.

The choice to go "fruitarian" -- consuming only fruits, nuts and seeds and no animal products, vegetables or grains -- "can lead to some serious problems," Kutcher revealed. Indeed, as a result, Kutcher "ended up in the hospital two days before we started shooting the movie," he said.

"I was like doubled over in pain, and my pancreas levels were completely out of whack, which was completely terrifying, considering everything," said the That 70s Show alum. (Jobs died in October 2011 at age 56 of pancreatic cancer.)

The pain was worth it, Kutcher (a tech entrepreneur himself) insisted to Us Weekly at Friday's red carpet, which he attended without love Mila Kunis. Not that he isn't a little nervous about the reception to the film: "It's portraying a guy who just passed away that is really fresh in people's minds ,that people are really passionate about, and care about, and have an opinion about -- that's really scary," he confessed. "Especially portraying a guy that I really admire . . . it's terrifying, it's terrifying!"
