‘Prince’ Anhalt to Wear $200,000 worth of Jewelry for the Oscars

I’m not too proud to hit into the TMZ video vault on occassion and what better time to go into that treasure trove than on the day of Oscars, even if this story is laced with a bit of crazy.

Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, better known as Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband, will be attending the Oscars, so he says, or maybe he will be attending one or more of the Oscar parties. Whatever, he needed some serious bling for the big night so he went to Beverly Hills jeweler, Raju Rasiah, to borrow some $200,000 worth of jewelry, including diamond-encrusted platinum rings, a diamond bracelet, and a diamond watch, TMZ reports.

In a video interview (no embed available) with von Anhalt in the jeweler’s store Saturday to show the goods to TMZ, the “prince” admits he isn’t wealthy enough to buy the jewelry but advises, “You can do many things with a jeweler,” he said. “A little advice for Lindsay Lohan, the next time you (leave) with a piece of jewelry, go to a good expensive jeweler on Rodeo Drive and get a good piece because you’re doing the same time when you get caught.”
