Yasmin Simon’s saviour - March 05
Simon Le Bon has talked candidly about wife Yasmin.
The Duran Duran frontman has been singing his wives praises in the run up to the release of his latest single. Simon Le Bon told press that Yasmin had saved him from a deep depression and was the driving force behind DD getting back together. “Yasmin is the most amazing person, much stronger than me. She said ‘you can’t carry on like this, you’ve got to change.’ And I did.” He went on to dismiss any rumours of trouble in their marriage which have been circulating thanks to a hectic tour and publicity schedule, explaining “Yasmin loves to see the band on tour. She’s the biggest Duran fan on the planet…I guess that’s a good thing.”

£10 Million woman - 09/12/03
Yasmin Le Bon was model chosen to wear the most expensive necklace ever to grace the shelves of Harrods.

The £10m necklace is 18 carat white gold and is built around the Blue Empress - a rare blue diamond that was mined in South Africa and cut and polished in India. It is among a collection of 11 blue diamonds mounted in settings from LA based designer Christian Tse. The necklace will be on display at the exclusive London store and auctioned off on December 23rd, so Yasmin does not get to keep it.

Harrods are hoping someone will buy it as a Christmas present. I’d like to see the shape of that Santa.
