Ice also purchased Odimo’s remaining diamond and jewelry inventory and corporate packaging for an additional $2 million.
Whitney Houston’s Sad Story
The National Enquirer recently broke the news that 80s pop-diva (should I say the fallen diva?) Whitney Houston has a fatal brain tumour and is ignoring advise for treatment. Then Whitney released a press statement saying the news is baseless and said she’s fine.
