Adam Levine and his wife Behati Prinsloo Get Bloody

Adam Levine and his wife Behati Prinsloo got bloody while shooting Maroon 5's dark and twisted new music video, "Animals."

The video begins in a meat shop, where Levine's character works as a cleaver-wielding butcher who has his eye on Prinsloo. He is seen casually walking behind her on a street, evading notice when Prinsloo suspects somebody is following her.

In the clip, Levine also stands outside in the pouring rain, peering up at Prinsloo's window through a pair of unflattering thick-rimmed glasses. Inside her bedroom, Prinsloo sleeps -- safe and sound -- until Levine breaks in and cuddles beside her in bed.

Another part of the video shows Levine's stalker character approaching Prinsloo in a club, only to be rejected, and later bedding her while blood trickles down from the ceiling.

The scenes are set to lyrics like "Baby, I’m preying on you tonight / Hunt you down eat you alive / Just like animals…" with added verses: "Maybe you think that you can hide/ I can smell your scent from miles / Just like animals."

Samuel Bayer, who directed "Animals," has previously worked on videos for songs like Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around… Comes Around" (2007), Good Charlotte's "American Idiot" (2004), and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (1991). The Nightmare on Elm Street director previously worked with Maroon 5 on their smash 2012 collaboration with Wiz Khalifa, "Payphone."

The Ferrari F80 Concept by Designer Adriano Raeli

Design by Adriano Raeli

The Ferrari F80 Concept

Beauty, luxurious sleek design, power and high speed, the new concept car design by Adriano Raeli makes the Ferrari F80 one to consider for production. The Ferrari F80 is to be powered by a hybrid drivetrain coupling a KERS system that produces 1,200 horsepower through use of a combustion engine.

While the favored V-12 will not be used, Adriano has decided to employ a 900 horsepower twin turbo V8 co-joined with the 300 horsepower KERS system to deliver the 1,200 horsepower for this supercar.

Current design offers a low weight of just under 1,765 pounds. According to the design team the low weight and engine specifications would allow the Ferrari F80 to jet to 62 mph in a mere 2.2 seconds.

For supercar speed enthusiasts, you will find the top speed of 310 mph quite thrilling. Although the thought of jetting past ho-hum traffic on the freeways may be exhilarating, this one may be best suited for the Salt Flats, Germany's Autobahn or the Middle Eastern deserts.

The Ferrari F80 is one of beauty and speed, it is what we as car enthusiasts desire most, causing adrenaline building rushes to course through our veins. What a awe-inspiring Supercar!

Enjoy the Ferrari F80 design video provided.

One Of The World's Most Expensive Homes

Villa Leopolda, Villefranche-sur-mer, France

Lily Safra, whose approximate net worth is $1.2 billion is the owner of the 3rd most expensive home in the world. The price in 2008 was $750 million or 500 million euro.

Lily Safra is a Brazilian philanthropist and social figure who attained considerable wealth after four marriages.

In regards to the home, King Leopold II reportedly built a series of waterside homes for his many mistresses.

This 20-acre estate, went up for sale in 2008, when Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov attempted to buy it. He eventually pulled out of the deal, forfeiting a 50 million euro deposit.

Villa La Leopolda in its current incarnation was designed and built from 1929 to 1931 by an American architect, Ogden Codman, Jr., on an estate once owned by King Leopold II of Belgium. Leopold had made the previous estate a present for his mistress Blanche Zélia Joséphine Delacroix, also known as Caroline Lacroix, and it derives its name from him.

After Leopold's death, Blanche Delacroix was evicted, and his nephew, King Albert I, became its owner. During World War I it was used as a military hospital.

The Safras bought the home in 1988.
