Ralph Lauren Drives $570K Car in Hamptons

World famous fashion designer and Hamptons resident Ralph Lauren was seen tooling around East Hampton in a $570,000 customized Ruf CTR-3, the Daily News reported Sunday. Ever the fashion icon, Lauren dressed in all black with black aviator sunglasses during his drive.

These extravagant wheels could blow local speed limits away, and outrun anyone trying to ticket you for it, but Lauren seemed happy enough to simply enjoy his weekend and obey the law. Made by Ruf Automobile of Germany, the CTR-3 tops out at 233 miles per hour and goes from zero to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. The car is based on the Porsche Cayman, according to the Daily News. As can be seen in the photo below, Lauren seems to have a love of Porsches.

See the Ruf CTR-3 above, and visit the Daily News to see shots of Lauren and his CTR-3 in East Hampton.

Below is the photo of Lauren getting into his orange Porsche 997 GT3 RS in January of 2010. Clearly, this is a man who likes his sports cars, and likes wearing black when driving them.

Lindsay Lohan May Blog About Rehab in the Hamptons

Embattled starlet Lindsay Lohan could blog about her recovery and experiences after she completes rehab in the Hamptons this summer.

New York Post‘s Page Six reported yesterday that Lilo is in talks with the Celebuzz website to publish an online diary about her struggles with addiction and the lessons she’s learned following a 90-day court-ordered stay at what is reported to be the Seafield Center rehab in Westhampton Beach this summer.

She would join the ranks of other Celebuzz celebrity bloggers, including Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Chris Jenner of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Snooki & JWOW‘s Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, among others.

Page Six notes that Lohan would follow the blog by launching her own site with her thoughts on fashion, art and pop culture of the moment. The star is allegedly still out partying and has yet to make any official meetings with Celebuzz, but it seems promising, considering there’s likely a dearth of offers currently appearing in Lohan‘s inbox.

Lohan is supposed to begin treatment at Seafield today, Thursday, May 2.
