Valet parking has turned va-va-voom in Beverly Hills, where struggling models and actresses in bikinis, miniskirts and lingerie are getting behind the wheel.

A new chord is set to sound this week in the world’s slowest and longest-lasting concert, which will take more than 600 years to perform at the Buchardi Church in Halberstadt, Germany.
The piece for organ by avant-garde composer John Cage began in 2001 with total silence, and the first chord – G-sharp, B and G-sharp – didn’t even sound until Feb. 2, 2003. The performance is scheduled to last until 2639.
