Are you into Bling, either the real thing, as exhibited by 50 cent, who is worth just a bit more than that sum, or low-priced copies?

Well, bling is still king in certain quarters, and its popularity is again on the rise.

In case you ever wondered just what the hell bling is, here's the more or less official definition, compliments of Wikipedia:

"Bling-bling is a hip hop slang term which refers to expensive jewelry and other accoutrements, and also to an entire lifestyle built around excess spending and ostentation."

As an example of bling's far-reaching popularity, the Beckham's will be hosting a bling auction extravaganza, on May 21, to benefit charity.

Tom Cruise, Liz Hurley, and Prince Charles will be in attendance, and bidding on items such as a million dollar diamond necklace and a specially tricked out Bentley .

I had to decline my invitation because I have to take my mother-in-law to the foot doctor that day.

Want to bling it up at your next special event but your millions are tied up in pork belly futures? Not to fear, now you can rent some high-class stuff, and make like a celebrity at your prom, or volunteer firefighters annual awards ceremony.

And, you can rent this stuff online, have it delivered, and mail it back, when you return to the real world.

Check it out here.
