Say whaaaa!?

Japanese beauty brand, Cle de Peau Beaute, is selling what they claim to be the most expensive moisturizer in the world.

The less than two-ounce jar costs a staggering $13,000 which makes it five times more expensive per gram than gold.

Dayum.

Only three jars will be sold, and according to spokesman Megumi Kinukawa, that's something they rarely do:

"We do not usually make limited editions of our products, but this is to mark a special occasion for the Cle de Peau Beaute line."

Maybe Amanda Seyfried's face will help push the three jars since she signed on to promote the moisturizer that is packaged in crystal and topped off with three platinum rings!

We don't know about you, but we certainly won't be lining up to spend that kind of money on some face balm!

A leading primatologist, Dr. Malik, has sent a letter to director Cameron Crowe on PETA’s behalf in response to recent comments made by Crowe.

Crowe was talking about Crystal, the capuchin monkey most recently in the Hangover II, saying she is:

"not just the hottest actress around, but also the most compelling."

He also said that monkeys are:

"like Mickey Rourke [because they] do nothing you tell them to."

In the letter, Dr. Malik explains how the “highly social” monkeys are taken from their mothers at birth, kept in relative isolation, and not given proper exercise on movie sets.

So sad!

She compells him to use today's technology, such as animatroincs or CGI, instead of animal actors. Not a bad idea, especially after such a big CGI hit like Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Read Dr. Malik’s entire letter after the jump…

Inneresting…

According to a new report, Rihanna has a "secret family" in Barbados, which includes 2 sisters and 1 brother who share the same father as RiRi.

Not only THAT, but it also looks like RiRi is an aunt to her "secret" sister Kandy's two daughters, 14-year-old Brandy and 11-year-old Crystal.

Here's what Kandy had to say about Rihanna:

"Even then, before she was famous, she was really cool."

"My girls thought she was great fun and now, of course, they love the fact their auntie is one of the most famous singers in the world. They love her music and are always singing her songs at the top of their voices."

More from Kandy on RiRi:

"I saw her a few times again after that initial meeting but it wasn't long after that she moved to the States to pursue her singing career and I didn't really hear much from her again."

"She's very busy jetting off all over the world and I have to work long hours so I suppose there hasn't been much opportunity to talk really. But I'm very proud of what she's achieved."

"I'm not jealous of the fame or fortune - I live a simple life out in the country but I'm very happy with what I have."

RiRi's other "secret" siblings include 30-year-old Samantha and 27-year-old brother Jamie.

Samantha is married and works as a "policy consultant for Caribbean regional governments," while Jamie works as a graphic artist.

Sounds like they all seem to be doing well for themselves! Hopefully they'll get to have a reunion sometime soon.

Family's important, RiRi! Don't you agree???
