VIDEO REPORT
BEVERLY HILLS, CA (Reuters) - Regular bottled water is, like, so yesterday.

Enter Bling H20 Beverly Hills, California. Luxury water...that, let's face it, it will end up very pricey.

Tap water's free, bottled water's a few bucks...but this pimped out bottle's 50-60 bucks, and up to 90 dollars at the club, that's, like 4 dollars a sip. But it's so now. Paris Hilton even gave her dog some...after having the Swarovski crystals customized for her little chihuahua Tinkerbell.

A tourist said, "It just says 'Bling beverages Beverly Hills,' I don't know if any waterfalls or springs in Beverly Hills that would produce really great water, so it sounds like it comes from the tap or something."

Duh, of course it's not from the tap. It's from Tennessee, from an award winning spring that is said to have perfect pH balance and a, like, totally sweet taste.

Bling's founder hopes that regular folks who like to spend money and celebs will gulp down the latest product offered in the uber-rich celebrity marketing machine.

Kevin Boyd, Bling H2O founder said,"If you really think about it, there's no difference in going to a nightclub and having a 350 dollar bottle of fancy vodka, or having a 50 dollar bottled water in your hand. The perceived value is probably about the same."

Bling's founder knows that dropping all those coins for a bottle of water isn't for everyone...but that's why he says other people can drink the Bling out of a plastic bottle and still feel like a superstar.
