Not long out of the cinema, the recent biopic of Serge Gainsbourg, which went by the name of Gainsbourg, is heading to DVD and Blu-ray in a matter of weeks.
Both are set for release on 10th January 2011, so you might want to save some of your Christmas money if you were a fan of the movie when it went round the cinemas – or you missed it first time round. It had mixed reviews, some people loving it, others disappointed – but if you're still reading now, I suspect you're one of the former.
Themed hotel rooms are nothing new, but the 007 Suite at the Seven Hotel, Latin Quarter, Paris might just have the ability to draw a gasp out of you.
This 60s-inspired boudoir is just one of 28 themed suites at the hotel – everything from Alice in Wonderland through to Marie Antoinette, plus some simply based around colour schemes. But the Bond-inspired suite looks like the one to book.
A tribute to an icon who has, perhaps, never been so hip, the Serge – Singer, Lover, Provocateur, Smoker limited edition print by Bonnie and Clyde.
The print focuses more on just one of those attributes, with Serge Gainsbourg captured in four smoking poses on a print that's sized at 23 x 30 inches, silkscreen printed and limited to just 20 – each one signed by the artists.

With summer fading into a memory for another year, it's sadly time to put the sunglasses away. What better way to keep them in style than with Jonathan Adler's heart sunglasses case.
Since the 1962 film, heart sunglasses will forever be associated with Lolita and they still frequently crop up on the catwalk. The motif on this case is immaculately crafted using needlepoint and uses a Lolita-style colour scheme too – red frames against a bubblegum pink background.
The case costs £30.
