Hard Candy !!!

Madonna’s new album is called Hard Candy

Her rep, Liz Rosenberg, tells EW that Madonna chose to stick with the sweet theme because “she loves candy. It’s about the juxtaposition of tough and sweetness, or as Madonna so eloquently expressed ‘I’m gonna kick your ass, but it’s going to make you feel good.’”
You can suck on your own Hard Candy starting April 29 when it hits stores nationwide.

The world's largest arch bridge


This will be the world's largest arch bridge, with 2000 vehicles set to cross its 12 lanes—per hour, in each direction.

Dubai's Mile-Long Super Bridge construction is set for March for completion in 2012.
At 670 ft. tall, Dubai's next super structure will stand higher than the George Washington Bridge (604 ft.) but fall short of San Francisco's existing Golden Gate Bridge (746 ft.).

a girl & boy for Arc-Pez

Jennifer Lopez, 38, and husband Marc Anthony, 39, are the proud new parents of fraternal twins, a boy and a girl.

“Jennifer and Marc are delighted, thrilled and over the moon,” J.Lo’s manager Simon Fields tells People.

The babies were born at 12:12 a.m. at North Shore University Hospital in Long Island, N.Y. The girl weighed 5 lbs. 7 oz. and the boy, born just minutes later, weighed 6 lbs.

The twins are the first children for Jennifer. They also join Marc’s children from previous relationships — Arianna, 13, Cristian, 7, and Ryan, 4.

People reportedly shelled out $6 million for the exclusive rights to publish the twins’ pics in the United States. OK! magazine will run them in their 15 international editions.

Get Back in Khaki with Milo





Sexy in Khaki ... Milo ... I would love to bring him coffee!

" Funny thing about a khaki suit: Whether you drop a few hundred or a few grand on one, you’ll get loads of compliments. Partly, it’s because it’s different: It’s not your typical gray or navy business suit. It gets you noticed. Also, you can wear the hell out of it. A couple of years ago, I found my perfect one (slim in the legs, stiff in the shoulders), and I’ve worn it every which way—to the office (like Milo here), to summer weddings (white shirt, black straight tie), with a polo and sneakers, and with jeans (white or black, but for some reason not blue). At the first hint of warm weather, I pull mine out of the closet, and I dread the cold, damp day I have to stick it back in there.—adam rapoport



Suit, $1,695, by Armani Collezioni. Shirt, $325, by Isaia. Tie, $135, by Ralph Lauren Black Label. Tie bar by Gucci. Sunglasses by Blinde. Pocket square by Robert Talbott. Car: Aston Martin DB9. "
