Madonna Moves For Her First Gym in Mexico

















Madonna the Queen of Pop has opened her first gym in Mexico City. During the opening event, the 52-year-old taught a short dance lesson to a handful of Hard Candy members at the event. The name is inspired by her eleventh studio album, which topped the charts around the world in 2008.

“It's a sexy name that gives you the opportunity to have fun and to build strength as far as the imagination will allow,” the BBC quoted her as saying. The star is expecting to open a chain of gyms and chose Mexico City for the first one because she likes the energy of the people, she said.

“Our plan is to use Mexico as a place to fine-tune our brand and then expand it to other countries,” added Madonna. Madonna’s love for exercise has been well-documented over the years and it is speculated she works out every day and follows a carefully controlled diet.

Chris Dedicik, who helped Madonna create the gym, said the star was very hands-on when designing the concept. “She chose the graphics, colours, the machines. She has weighed in on the choreography of all the classes and given them a twist to make them more dynamic, more special and to better reflect her style,” he said.

Eventually, Madonna concluded saying, “If any of you have seen my shows, you know that I don't skimp on them and the same is true for the gym. We spend what it takes to make a globally first-class gym.”

Michael Buble Ready To Marry His Argentinean Girlfriend On April 6

















Michael Buble announced his engagement to Argentinian beauty Luisana Lopilato in January, and now the two have set a date: April 6, 2010. The singer even joked that he had planned on tying the knot on April 29, but was concerned the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton would overshadow his nuptials.

He told the Today show: "I was going to do it on the 29th but I figured I wouldn't get any press." The musician recently revealed that he and Luisana plan to have two weddings so both their families can be in attendance.

Michael explained: "We are doing one in Argentina and that's for her close family, and then we are doing one in Vancouver."

Meanwhile, instead of jetting off on a lavish honeymoon, the pair plan to head to Africa to undergo charity work for children's causes following the nuptials. However, the couple's romance hasn't always ran so smoothly, as Michael recently confessed his bride-to-be thought he was gay the first time they met.

He said: "I don't speak Spanish and she had no English. But the guy did so I just spoke to him. I was a bit nervous because of how beautiful she was. I later found out she was on the phone to her mother the whole time saying, 'Buble's gay. He's hitting on my friend.'"

Jennifer Aniston's Mexican-themed Thanksgiving

Jennifer Aniston hosted a Mexican-themed Thanksgiving bash for 15 friends. The 41-year-old actress is said to have flown a group of close pals out on two private jets to her lavish estate in the Mexican resort of Cabo San Lucas, where they spent the holiday on November 25 "eating, drinking and relaxing".

While "The Bounty Hunter" star indulged in plenty of food and drink during the break, she also made sure she worked out every day.

An onlooker told People magazine, "Jennifer spent the trip enjoying herself with her friends relaxing, drinking and eating."

"But she also worked out every day, including yoga sessions with Mandy Ingber. She looked amazingly fit and seemed to have a great time just relaxing and hanging out with her friends."

The star's yoga coach Mandy, as well as her manager Aleen Keshishian and chat show host Chelsea Handler, were reportedly just some of the guests flown out to Mexico for the bash, where they enjoyed a Thanksgiving meal that included chips, salsas and margaritas.

Despite being known for her strict diet and exercise regime, Jennifer recently admitted she is a big fan of Mexican cuisine. When quizzed on what she would have for her last meal, she said, "It'd be chips and guacamole, quesadillas, enchiladas and a big tostada salad and nachos!"

Faster star and former professional wrestler Dwayne Johnson says he used to get into trouble on the Pacific island of Hawaii for fighting, but insists his “poor decisions” never led to long-term disputes.

He said: “I was just always into violence when I was younger. I was just a real violent kid. “But growing up in Hawaii, it’s always lots of fighting and then everybody makes up – I love you, you love me, let’s have a beer; what about a barbecue?

“I didn’t come from a broken home, I had very loving parents. I was just making poor decisions.” However, his background did not inform his later career as an action star, as he wanted to work on other styles of film.

He told Total Film magazine: “I wanted to break out of the action genre. I stopped and said, ‘I’d like to do a comedy next,’ Then I’d like to do a little drama. It was just a matter of just resetting for a moment, taking a beat.”

Jake Gyllenhaal Does Not See Himself As A 'Leading Man' in Showbiz
















Jake Gyllenhaal is a pretty modest dude. He says he doesn't see himself as a big time, "leading man" kind of actor in the ranks of huge stars like Tom Cruise. The real question, however, is: Is he currently Taylor Swift's leading man? Still no hints on that front, unfortunately.

Getting back to movies, he said: “I don’t see myself like a leading man at all. That’s very result-oriented. I’ve been like that at different times in my career, but at this point I’m not. I think people look at me like that bit, but I don’t. I’ve been the lead in lots of different movies but it’s never been about that.

“It’s funny, I as at some event for Prince Of Persia and Tom Cruise and Nicolas Cage were there. And there I was standing with them thinking ‘What the hell am I doing here?’ ”

Jake also admitted he likes to tackle a wide variety of characters in his movies because of advice he was given by his father many years ago. He told Total Film magazine: “My dad always says to me that the job of any artist is to disturb the comfortable and to comfort the disturbed.”
