The Throne’s ‘Otis’ Maybach Now A $60,000 Work Of Art

Funds raised from car’s auction will benefit Save the Children’s efforts in East Africa.

It seems that anything Jay-Z or Kanye West touches turns to gold, even their mangled Maybach-mobile. In the most memorable scene from their 2011 "Otis" video, the Throne rode around in a one-of-a-kind Maybach, chopped and screwed to their specifications. Last week, the $350,000 remixed vehicle sold for $60,000 at Phillips de Pury & Company's New York Contemporary Art Evening Auction. The reason for the seemingly low bid? Well, the 'Bach isn't exactly street-ready.

The gaudy chop-shop display wasn't for naught as the proceeds of the sale will go to Save the Children, an organization that fights battles on behalf of children around the world.

"Jay-Z and Kanye West are towering figures in contemporary culture. They have greatly contributed to the artificial barriers between art, music, fashion and cinema to come down," Simon de Pury, chairman of Phillips de Pury and Company, said in a press release. "Their video for 'Otis' became an instant classic. The Maybach they have transformed for it has the starring role."

DUB magazine president and co-founder Myles Kovacs estimated that the custom job cost the Throne around $150,000, but by removing the vehicle's doors, cutting off the roof and switching the bumper and grill, Hov and Yeezy dramatically lowered the value of the car. "The thing is, the value of that car is nothing now, you couldn't drive it on the street," he said in an August 2011 MTV News interview. "It would start malfunctioning big time."

If you think of the "Otis" Maybach as a piece of art rather than a fully functioning car, then the $60,000 auction fetch makes more sense. If you consider where the money will be donated, then it's a huge win. "The funds raised from auctioning off the 'Otis' car are greatly needed to help sustain families [in East Africa] over the next several months," Save the Children President and CEO Carolyn Miles said in the press release. "We are grateful to Jay-Z and Kanye West for offering up pop culture history to do good for children in Africa."

Taylor Swift, Rihanna Dress To Impress At Billboard Awards

Nicki Minaj, Ke$ha, Selena Gomez also make fashion splash on red carpet, as showgirl style rules at the Las Vegas event on Sunday night.

By Jocelyn Vena

On Sunday night, some of the biggest names in the music industry hit up the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas and decided that sparkles and sequins make for the perfect additions to any red carpet get-up. Well, it is Sin City after all.

Taylor Swift always seems to bring some of that Nashville sparkle to any red carpet. She arrived at the show in a pale-hued, sequined Elie Saab gown. Nicki Minaj showed off her signature sense of style in her baby-blue, body-hugging spandex Mark Fast catsuit.

Selena Gomez turned up the style dial in a sexy, cut-out black Dolce & Gabbana gown that she paired with red strappy sandals with sparkly bow detailing. Like Gomez, Ke$ha opted for some cut-out detailing in her sparkly, slate-gray dress with tulle skirt. Rihanna looked white hot in her men's tailored Max Azria suit, which she kept sexy and feminine by not buttoning her shirt all the way.

Fergie went S&M chic in her little black bandage-type dress by Hervé Léger. Nicole Kidman also wore black. She paired a casual braid hairstyle with a long black gown and Keith Urban. British pop cutie Kyle Minogue looked funky in her little black lacey dress. Inside the show, Britney Spears sat in the audience wearing a skimpy black dress of her own, her hair in loose curls, with little-to-no accessories.

While some stars kept the color scheme low-key, Keri Hilson decided to stand out in her billowy little yellow dress paired with a turquoise-colored belt. Kelly Rowland showed off some of her best assets in a body-hugging, bright pink bandage dress.

The fellas also looked tight on the carpet. Joe Jonas wore all black with white sneakers, Ne-Yo paired his periwinkle suit with a Yankees cap and Justin Bieber wore black tuxedo pants with a gold-lamé tuxedo jacket.

Which stars' styles caught your eye at the Billboard Music Awards? Tell us in the comments.
