Just what Mexico needs... a gym run by Madonna

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Get into the groove: Madonna teaches a dance class at the opening of her new gym in Mexico City
It's not exactly the first location one might associate as the chosen spot for a grand gym opening from the Queen of Pop.
And one might have thought there may have been other more worthy projects she could have put her very famous name to.
But as it is, Madonna has opened the doors to her brand new Hard Candy gym in Mexico City, and treated a hand selected troupe of new members to work out with her.
5,6,7,8: The Material Girl's new venture is called Hard Candy Fitness
Standing at the top of the class in head-to-toe Nike fitness gear, the superstar led a group of 20 hand-picked members through a routine to music by Paul Oakenfold, the DJ who opened her tour last year.
And there is no mistaking who owns the gym.
A huge mural of Warhol-esque images of the Queen of Pop greets each client as they walk through the sliding doors.
The 30,000-square-foot building is located in the city's upscale Bosques de las Lomas neighborhood.
High energy: The singer led 20 hand-picked gym members through a routine with music by Paul Oakenfold, who opened her last tour
Grand opening: The fitness fanatic cut the ribbon at a ceremony earlier
Earlier in the day she attended a ribbon cutting ceremony dressed in a black and white striped dress and thigh-high boots.
The star said she chose Mexico City because it was a stop on last year's Sticky & Sweet tour, which grossed $408 million and she liked the energy of the people.
The gym's name, which shares the title of her last album, she said, is the perfect combination of 'hard body' and 'eye candy'.
'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 singer said.
New franchise: She chose the city to open her first gym because 'she liked the energy of the people'
Good example: The 52-year-old health junkie showed off her own toned physique in a mini dress and thigh-high boots
'She chose the graphics, colors, the machines,' said Chris Dedicik, general director of California-based New Evolution Ventures, Madonna's partner in creating the gym.
'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.'
Members can do cardiovascular exercises on five types of advanced-technology machines chosen by Madonna, many with individual viewing screens and iPod docks.
The yoga instructors are trained in various styles of the ancient Indian art, inspired by the knowledge the singer has accumulated in her travels.
Material Girl: Madonna's face lines the walls of her new gym in Mexico, called Hard Candy Fitness
'Harder is better': The singer hand-picked the graphics, colours and the machines
The yoga room will also have a special wall used in Iyengar yoga, one of very few in the world according to Dedicik, with ropes and steps to help people with less physical ability. A balcony outside will feature plants and Zen-style decor, all at the singer's request.
'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,' she said. 'We spend what it takes to make a globally first-class gym.'
Membership runs 2,000 pesos a month, about $160, generally in line with what the best gyms charge in Mexico City.
She's watching you! Madonna's presence looms large throughout the facility
The one-time fee for joining is 10,400 pesos, about $830, which includes the first two months of membership. Those who signed up before the opening paid an initiation fee of 8,900 pesos, a little over $700, also including the first two months.
Members who have signed up so far didn't seem to care about matching Madonna's workout feats. Those using the gym during a weekend preview said they liked the equipment and features and cited proximity to their home or work as their reason for joining.
Ronen Waiss, businessman and Honorary Consul of Lithuania in Mexico, said his office is two doors away and he registered long before he was told it was a venture by Madonna.
Madonna mania: Hundreds of fans queued outside for a glimpse of their idol
'I think it's super sexy and motivating of course, but I didn't know till after I joined,' said Waiss, 32.
'But it's attractive to me because it's close and has the best computer technology. That's what caught my attention.'
Clara Ruiz, a 59-year-old housewife, said she, too, chose the gym for location. But she likes the facility and wishes Madonna success in her new venture.
'She has a lot of experience in this,' Ruiz said. 'She's done it all her life. I think she chose what for her is the best.'

Michael Douglas is optimistic about his recovery as he announces return to work
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju7ZFlSwN8Uendofvid
[starttext]
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
On the mend: Michael Douglas has signed on to play Liberace in a new film which begins shooting in the spring
Oscar winning actor Michael Douglas has been in treatment for throat cancer since August.
But the 66-year-old star is so eager to return to work that he has signed on to take the lead role in the Steven Soderbergh directed biopic Liberace which begins shooting in May.
The film will chronicle the life and fame of the extroverted and celebrated pianist and also stars fellow Oscar winner Matt Damon.
The veteran actor recently spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about his treatment and revealed that he will learn in January if the cancer has been eliminated.
Doctors have told him that his type of cancer has an 80% cure rate.
Douglas admitted to the weekly trade magazine that his diagnosis has brought him closer to his 93-year-old father Kirk, with whom his relationship has always been strained.
'He really made an effort,' Michael said.
'He was back here almost 10 days. He came over everyday. He was great.'
Larger than life: During his heyday, which spanned the 50s and 70s the always flamboyant Liberace was the highest paid entertainer in the world
He voiced his understanding for the reasons behind the breakdown in their relationship in the past.
'In those key years, when Kirk was doing five movies a year, if we saw him it was only out of his guilt,' Douglas says.
He also acknowledges that he may have repeated that pattern with his own son, Cameron Douglas, 31, who was recently jailed on drug-related charges.
'I'm sure it's not easy, either, being a third generation,' Douglas says. 'Kirk was all-consumed, was overworked. Probably like myself at a certain time in my life.'
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas pose with their children, Dylan (L), age 10, and Carys (R), age 7, along with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse

I'm A Celebrity: Did Kayla Collins REALLY have to wear such a revealing monokini for Celebrity Chest task?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB5Gt87ESoEendofvid
[starttext]
By SARAH BULL
Revealing: Kayla Collins wore an incredibly revealing monokini to take part in the Celebrity Chest task with Jenny Eclair on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
When she was told she would have to wear swimwear to take part in the Celebrity Chest task on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, exhibitionist Kayla Collins couldn't believe her luck.
The 23-year-old Playboy Playmate quickly searched through her array of swimsuits to find the skimpiest one, before eventually deciding on an incredibly revealing black monokini.
However, 50-year-old comedian Jenny Eclair, who took part in the Celebrity Chest with Kayla, was less than impressed when she found out she would also have to don a swimsuit.
Get snappy: Jenny and Kayla had to unscrew teeth from a crocodile's mouth inside a pungent swamp
However, Jenny said: 'Kayla was fantastic, every time she got out of the swamp she did it with a beautiful ballet toe, pointed ballet toe. I was envious of that!'
Despite winning the chest, Jenny said she didn't hold out much hope that the rest of camp would be able to answer the question to fully unlock the chest.
She said: 'We won’t win it, we never do. We always get the chest wrong. Completely pointless exercise, might as well have just sat in that camp all afternoon.'
But when Jenny and Kayla returned to the camp, the rest of the celebrities were keen for them to have a wash before they tried to answer the chest.
And the pair were furious when their fellow contestants tried to start answering which of the quotes was said by which of their former campmates - to win the chest they had to correctly answer six out of the seven questions.
Going for it: The girls eventually managed to win the chest after working well together as a team
Jenny was not happy, adding: 'We did all the hard work for that, we should read them out.'
She moaned: 'Well that’s lovely for me isn’t it? Wearing a swimming costume next to Kayla, I’ve got a massive rash rampaging all up my neck and shoulders, I’ve got cellulite riddling all up the backs of my legs and I’m going to be standing next to Kayla in a swimming costume.'
She then added: 'Kayla is much much fitter than I am, in every sense of the word.'
As they got close to the chest area, Jenny and Kayla smelt a 'horrible stench' from the pool, and quickly realised they would have to get in to it.
The aim of the game was to pump open the jaws of the plastic crocodile, unscrew its teeth and place them on to a giant key.
They would have to get a certain amount of teeth to release the smaller key that would unlock the chest.
But Jenny refused to wear just a swimming costume, insisting on wearing her shorts, adding: 'I’m not taking my shorts off when I’m standing next to a 22 or 23-year-old glamour model, I’m not mad!'
And while the pair quickly got the hang of the task, Jenny said the hardest part was getting out of the swamp elegantly.
Delighted: Kayla couldn't conceal her delight as Aggro helped her and Jenny take the chest into camp
She then added: 'For me that was a lot more strenuous and a lot more difficult than doing any of the Bush Tucker Trials I’ve done…It nearly killed me…I think when we came back me and Kayla should read them out.'
Kayla then read out the quotes and the celebrities succeeded in guessing the answers to all seven quotes and won spices, salt and pepper and seasoning.
The quotes included: 'People forget that I'm that old, they think I'm Peter Pan', which was said by Shaun.'
The celebrities later started talking about Kayla, with Dom saying they had started to see the real side of Playboy star Kayla.
He said: 'The real Kayla is coming out and I don't think it's a very pretty sight. I think she's probably very high maintenance in real life.'
It was 'Dunnygate', where Kayla had to clean up faeces left in the jungle toilet, that ensured the celebrities began to get to know the real star.
Run! Dom Joly completed the Bushtucker Trial of Savage Garden Centre
Struggling: Dom had to root around in a variety of horrible containers to find the stars
Dom added: 'Dunnygate was the real Kayla there, that's pretty girl syndrome. She had an anger in her eyes - she was angry.
'She’s not stupid, well she is quite stupid but she is street smart. She is tough.'
He added in the Bush Telegraph: 'The real Kayla is coming out and it’s not a pretty sight. I reckon she’s really high maintenance in real life. Ball buster is the word I’d use.'
Yesterday saw the exit of camp moaner Gillian McKeith, and the rest of the celebrities couldn't have been happier.
Former Happy Mondays star Shaun Ryder was absolutely delighted when the nutritionist was voted out, declaring: 'Fantastic, what a good choice public - I love the public. The public are very intelligent and wise.
'I'm a so relieved she's gone - all's fair in love and hate.'
Afterwards in the Bush Telegraph, Shaun said: 'It was wonderful to say goodbye to Gillian - absolutely great!
'I’m glad it was Gillian that went, personally for me, pure selfishness, couldn’t have been better.'
It's a smelly job: Dom had to root around in a huge pile of dung to find a star
Shaun's happy mood was then noticed by the rest of the campmates, especially Stacey who said: 'Shaun is as happy as Larry.
'I don’t know if its just because Gillian’s gone but he’s had a really good morning and I think he’s going to have a really good day today. Singing, dancing, smiling, that’s the Shaun we know and love.'
And later Jenny commented that Gillian had predicted her departure from the show, adding: 'She packed her bags, she had her coat ready, she’s a witch…she knew when she was going.'
Later in the show, the celebrities were seen trying to decide which of them would take part in the Bushtucker Trial, Savage Garden Centre.
Dom quickly volunteered for the trial in order to redeem himself after refusing to spend a night in the cave of terror the night before.
He said: 'I should do it as I didn’t go in the cave and I’ve not done one for a while. I’m going to have to face it. I don't know what this one is so it's a risk.'
Playtime: The celebrities were treated to a game of pass the parcel but it wasn't as fun as it first appeared
On his way to the trial, Dom explained: 'One of the reasons I did this today is that I felt I needed to get out and get the adrenaline pumping - I like adrenaline and I like being under pressure.'
When he got to the trial clearing, Dom was told he would have to try and find seven stars that were hidden in a giant greenhouse, two water pots and giant dung heap that made up the Savage Garden Centre.
A clue to the location of each star was given by a garden gnome before the 30 second limit to find the star began. Dom was also told the star would have to be placed in a wheelbarrow before the 30 seconds ran out for it to count and be considered a meal for camp.
But Dom wasn't too happy about the trial, telling Ant and Dec: 'It wasn't what I was hoping for. I'll be brutally honest with you, lads.'
For the first star, Dom was told to 'check out those boxes on the side' by the garden gnome, and quickly rummaged through to find the star before the time ran out - seemingly unconcerned by the rats inside the boxes.
Not so good: Dom was disgusted when he found out there were cockroaches in the package
However, he was unable to locate the second star in the set time.
At one point Dom muttered: 'This is it, the lowest moment in my television career!'
He then won a further two stars but lost out on the rest despite the fact he declared before he started: 'I want to beat Aggro because he’s a very tough rapper and I want to disrespect him to the max.'
So, at the end of the task, Dom only succeeded in getting three stars for camps - meaning three meals to share between the seven remaining celebrities.
Afterwards, he said: 'That was Aggro level, I’m very disappointed with that - it spells loser to me.'
Coming back to camp to inform the celebrities of his trial result, Dom said: 'I thought I’d chicken out, there were spiders there but I threw them across the room, I also got dung on Ant and Dec so that deserves a star.
'I did it all but it was just more annoying that I couldn't find them. But there's nothing I can do about it.'
Yuk! Kayla started screaming when she found a 'leech' on her arm, but her fellow celebrities played the incident down
Having a chat: Jenny and Dom take about their fellow campmates as they sit on the communal sofa
Later the celebrities were treated to a game of pass the parcel, to the soundtrack of In The Jungle.
Wearing party hats, the stars passed around the box, but it was Linford who opened the first layer to find hoards of cockroaches.
Dom said: 'Seriously, for one night, just leave the bloody cockroaches!'
And Kayla added: 'This games sucks, we should be getting food, they know how hungry we are.'
Each layer of the parcel contained a gift from a former contestant, and the first one had Gillian McKeith's own brand health bars inside.
But Dom was less than impressed with the gift, saying: 'Would you eat them? Look at the way she has behaved for the past three weeks, would you really think, "I need whatever health bar she's eating?" Come on!'
He's out: Linford was the latest celebrity to be voted off
Other gifts include coconut butter from Alison Hammond and antiseptic wipes from Britt Eckland.
And it seems being in the jungle is taking its toll on Dom and Jenny, who both admitted they are bored with the conversation between campmates and living in the jungle.
Jenny said: 'I’ve felt fine, weepy, mad, fine, weepy mad today and I’m not sure I can go through another day. It’s like time has stood still like groundhog day.'
Dom added: 'I’ve had it with this endless round of conversation, I need to talk to someone else, if you weren’t here I would have definitely walked, I need to talk about something else, I sit here and listen to endless conversations about sh** music I hate.
'It is groundhog day in ever decreasing circles, I could very much do with Kayla going. She’s really annoying me for no reason at all it’s totally not her fault, it’s mine.'
And while Jenny said Kayla hasn't been annoying her, she added: 'She doesn’t do anything for me at all. I try to be sympathetic but she’s totally disinterested in me and what I do, she’s only asked me one question, what I used my mayonnaise for at home. She told me today she’s worried about her cat.'
Dom agreed: 'That’s the big emotional issue of her life. I think she finds you frightening because you are old. You represent her future.'
Slightly offended, Jenny replied: 'I’m trying not to be insulted by that! She finds Hugh Hefner a bit disgusting to her credit, she cringes about all the girls who actually sleep with him.'
In the evening, the camp were given three kangaroo sausages following Dom's performance in the trial.
And while Dom said he shouldn't have any of the meat, the rest of the camp insisted he should have a little bit of the sausage.
However, Kayla started to annoy Linford when she tried to put herbs and seasoning in with the beans.
He later said: 'I do not like taking orders in the kitchen. The person who is cooking should do the cooking.'
With only seven celebrities left in the camp, conversation topics are starting to dry up, prompting Shaun to tell his campmates about his troubled childhood involving vandalism, theft and selling stolen goods.
The singer admitted: 'As a child I loved getting chased and climbing, also stealing and entering and vandalism. On our industrial estate we had a Schweppes and a Bulmers and by the age of 12 I’d screwed the lot of them.
'I robbed them all. I sold the booze to an ice cream man. Once someone broke into our junior school, chopped the heads off the hamster and guinea pigs, sh** all over the place, smashed the place up and wrote Shaun Ryder on the blackboard. They spelled me name wrong of course.
'Before I was ten, three kids grabbed hold of me and held me down while one booted the hell out of me.
'We also used to get ping pong balls put them in silver paper, burn them and they’d be smoke bombs.'

For the first star, Dom was told to 'check out those boxes on the side' by the garden gnome, and quickly rummaged through to find the star before the time ran out - seemingly unconcerned by the rats inside the boxes.
Not so good: Dom was disgusted when he found out there were cockroaches in the packageHowever, he was unable to locate the second star in the set time.
At one point Dom muttered: 'This is it, the lowest moment in my television career!'
He then won a further two stars but lost out on the rest despite the fact he declared before he started: 'I want to beat Aggro because he’s a very tough rapper and I want to disrespect him to the max.'
So, at the end of the task, Dom only succeeded in getting three stars for camps - meaning three meals to share between the seven remaining celebrities.
Afterwards, he said: 'That was Aggro level, I’m very disappointed with that - it spells loser to me.'
Coming back to camp to inform the celebrities of his trial result, Dom said: 'I thought I’d chicken out, there were spiders there but I threw them across the room, I also got dung on Ant and Dec so that deserves a star.
'I did it all but it was just more annoying that I couldn't find them. But there's nothing I can do about it.'
Yuk! Kayla started screaming when she found a 'leech' on her arm, but her fellow celebrities played the incident down
Having a chat: Jenny and Dom take about their fellow campmates as they sit on the communal sofaLater the celebrities were treated to a game of pass the parcel, to the soundtrack of In The Jungle.
Wearing party hats, the stars passed around the box, but it was Linford who opened the first layer to find hoards of cockroaches.
Dom said: 'Seriously, for one night, just leave the bloody cockroaches!'
And Kayla added: 'This games sucks, we should be getting food, they know how hungry we are.'
Each layer of the parcel contained a gift from a former contestant, and the first one had Gillian McKeith's own brand health bars inside.
But Dom was less than impressed with the gift, saying: 'Would you eat them? Look at the way she has behaved for the past three weeks, would you really think, "I need whatever health bar she's eating?" Come on!'
He's out: Linford was the latest celebrity to be voted offOther gifts include coconut butter from Alison Hammond and antiseptic wipes from Britt Eckland.
And it seems being in the jungle is taking its toll on Dom and Jenny, who both admitted they are bored with the conversation between campmates and living in the jungle.
Jenny said: 'I’ve felt fine, weepy, mad, fine, weepy mad today and I’m not sure I can go through another day. It’s like time has stood still like groundhog day.'
Dom added: 'I’ve had it with this endless round of conversation, I need to talk to someone else, if you weren’t here I would have definitely walked, I need to talk about something else, I sit here and listen to endless conversations about sh** music I hate.
'It is groundhog day in ever decreasing circles, I could very much do with Kayla going. She’s really annoying me for no reason at all it’s totally not her fault, it’s mine.'
And while Jenny said Kayla hasn't been annoying her, she added: 'She doesn’t do anything for me at all. I try to be sympathetic but she’s totally disinterested in me and what I do, she’s only asked me one question, what I used my mayonnaise for at home. She told me today she’s worried about her cat.'
Dom agreed: 'That’s the big emotional issue of her life. I think she finds you frightening because you are old. You represent her future.'
Slightly offended, Jenny replied: 'I’m trying not to be insulted by that! She finds Hugh Hefner a bit disgusting to her credit, she cringes about all the girls who actually sleep with him.'
In the evening, the camp were given three kangaroo sausages following Dom's performance in the trial.
And while Dom said he shouldn't have any of the meat, the rest of the camp insisted he should have a little bit of the sausage.
However, Kayla started to annoy Linford when she tried to put herbs and seasoning in with the beans.
He later said: 'I do not like taking orders in the kitchen. The person who is cooking should do the cooking.'
With only seven celebrities left in the camp, conversation topics are starting to dry up, prompting Shaun to tell his campmates about his troubled childhood involving vandalism, theft and selling stolen goods.
The singer admitted: 'As a child I loved getting chased and climbing, also stealing and entering and vandalism. On our industrial estate we had a Schweppes and a Bulmers and by the age of 12 I’d screwed the lot of them.
'I robbed them all. I sold the booze to an ice cream man. Once someone broke into our junior school, chopped the heads off the hamster and guinea pigs, sh** all over the place, smashed the place up and wrote Shaun Ryder on the blackboard. They spelled me name wrong of course.
'Before I was ten, three kids grabbed hold of me and held me down while one booted the hell out of me.
'We also used to get ping pong balls put them in silver paper, burn them and they’d be smoke bombs.'

Will Cheryl Cole's assault conviction stop her from getting green card and being U.S. X Factor judge?

Judge's problem: Cheryl Cole's assault conviction may prevent her being granted a U.S. visa to take up her role on the American version of the X Factor
Cheryl Cole’s American dream may be scuppered – as a result of an assault conviction seven years ago.
The Daily Mail told yesterday how Mrs Cole had landed a place on the judging panel of the U.S. version of the X Factor in a deal worth up to £3million.
However, now Mrs Cole’s American dream may be jeopardised by her conviction for assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH) in 2003.
U.S. law states that all convictions – indeed, all arrests – have to be disclosed on visa application forms.
Some less serious offences may not affect work visas.
However, according to Susan McFadden - a partner with Gudeon and McFadden law firm who specialise in U.S. visa and immigration - in more serious cases an appeal to the U.S. authorities may be necessary.
Snapped: Cheryl Tweedy, as she was then, arrives at Kingston Crown court charged with punching toilet attendant, Sophie Amogbokpa ...
‘If the conviction is for something that triggers ineligibility the person would have to appeal for a waive,' she said.
Miss McFadden added that her firm had been instructed by the U.S. embassy that with regards to more serious crimes it would depend on ‘facts regarding the conviction' before a decision is made.
However, she said this can lead to 'permanently ineligibility' from being allowed a U.S. work visa in certain cases.
.. and departs after being found guilty of the assault
Mrs Cole attacked Sophie Amogbokpa, a toilet attendant, at Drink nightclub in Guildford, Surrey in January 2003.
In October that year, Mrs Cole was found guilty as assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
At the time, Mrs Cole – who had been catapulted to stardom the previous December after her band Girls Aloud emerged from TV show Popstars: The Rivals - was sentenced to 120 hours unpaid community service.
She was also ordered to Miss Amogbokpa £500 compensation and prosecution costs of £3,000.
Mrs Cole – who was 19 at the time - punched Miss Amogbokpa after she tried to stop the singer taking some lollipops.
Despite the shame, Mrs Cole’s career has since gone from strength to strength.
As well as achieving huge success with Girls Aloud, last year she launched a solo music career. She has since secured two No1 albums on her own.
She has also been a hugely successful judge on the X Factor.
As we said yesterday, on Saturday night Mrs Cole was officially offered the job as a judge on the US edition of the talent show.
The singer had already been in discussions to launch her music career in the U.S. next spring.
A show source said: 'When Cheryl goes to America she will also launch her music career there too.
'It's the next part of her big plan, she's an incredibly hard worker and she will definitely get a boost by appearing on the X Factor, which is set to be a sure-fire hit.'
X Factor Svengali Simon Cowell, 51, has revealed he plans to officially announce the judges for the U.S. version later this month.
Mrs Cole, who has an estimated £10million fortune, will earn £1.5million for this series of the X Factor - but will make up to twice as much from her U.S. television deal, as the budget for the show is considerably larger.
She is already accustomed to the U.S. lifestyle, having spent weeks in Los Angeles working on her music and spending time with her close friend Derek Hough as she recovered from malaria.
She was in California as her divorce from her footballer husband Ashley Cole was finalised in October.
