Rapper Lil Jon, who we have covered for his record-setting diamond necklace, is apparently joining the long list of celebrities with a wine project. The Little Jonathan Winery is the new project froml Lil Jon. Given his tastes in jewels and style these bottles look incredibly restrained. No word on pricing yet or where the wines are sourced but he's starting with a 2005 Merlot and a 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

Rapper Lil Jon has quite a handful with the necklace shown here. The Guinness Book of World Records has officially certified it as the largest diamond pendant ever. The "Crunk Aint Dead" pendant is 7.5 inches tall, six inches wide and weighs almost 12 pounds. This is some bitty bling, 73 carats of diamonds on the necklace but 3,756 round-cut white diamonds total set in 18K yellow and white gold. It is valued at around $500,000. I'd say something about how tacky it is but he seems so proud of it.
