Shaun White flaunts his Olympic gold medal and patriotic pants on the latest cover of Rolling Stone.
The 23-year-old snowboarding champ reveals some of the music that’s on regular rotation on his iPod: Jimi Hendrix, Guns n’ Roses and Led Zeppelin. “Getting into music has changed my personality and my way of doing things,” Shaun shared.
Diamond supplier Petra Diamonds has sold a 507 carat diamond for $35.3 million, breaking the record for the highest price ever paid for a rough diamond. Reported to be as big as a chicken egg and weighing just over 100 grams, the stone is among the world’s top 20 high quality rough diamonds.
Recovered from Petra’s Cullinan mine in South Africa, such a rare gemstone has been sold to a Hong Kong jewelery company that plans to yield a large, unblemished polished gemstone for some wealthy Chinese collector.

Not your typical music video, although somewhat expected from ‘OK Go’ (remember what put them on the map?), this video is a good demonstration of what can happen when a group of 30 can do when dedicating hours and hours of work. Shooting the video took two days and more than 60 takes, with most attempts failing at around the thirty second mark. To reset the entire contraption took a team of 30 volunteers close to an hour. Watch this video, you will be blown away.
After the jump is a series of short videos show how things went down behind the scenes to make this video happen.
