I loved the Diddy JLO era, I loved her with Marc too but there was such a big difference. While she was with Marc until American Idol is was kind of like she disappeared for the public eye, and with Diddy that was the total opposite.An informant in Diddy’s camp told BET that Jennifer Lopez is “The love of his life” and that he’s excited that they are back together. The couple split back in 1999 during the Diddy’s gun trial but the two didn’t let the flame blow out. A source from JLo’s camp told BET that Diddy “wouldn’t be my first choice for her, but then again he was always very supportive of her sex symbol image and never got mad when she wore sexy clothes. He actually encouraged it.” This statement says a lot about the relationship Lopez and Anthony had, alluding to him as being jealous and overprotective.

DTC isn't a stranger to either custom convertibles or the SEMA show...

Rodiney sat down with connex to dish on his modeling career and appreciation for his fans.... THE NEXT LEVEL I am just an easy going normal guy with great friends. I love to live life to its fullest, and stay true to who I am. I am from Brazil and now live in Miami Beach. I came to the USA to take my career to the next level, and what a great decision that has been. I am the kind of person that likes to work real hard, and then head to the beach. AUTO SHOOT FIRST My friends in Brazil always told me I should be a model. I didn't really think anything of it until I someone came up to me and asked me if I was interested in modeling. The rest is history. My first shoot was for a auto company. I would like to say modeling came natural for me, but it did take some practice. I was a little stiff in the beginning. OPEN MIND The modeling world can be glamorous. But, what I have found is that it is more of a place to meet very talented and interesting people. I have learned so much about cl...

Leaving the world rocked to its core last year when Alexander McQueen committed suicide, documents revealed yesterday what happened to his fortune after death. Lee McQueen was worth an estimated 16 million pounds when he died -- the equivalent of about $26 million. His lucky dogs received 50,000 pounds for their continual care, and the designer left another 100,000 pounds each to the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and the Blue Cross Animal Welfare Charity. "It is a touching tribute to his obvious love for his dogs and his legacy will allow us to help many thousands more sick and homeless animals across the UK," said Kim Hamilton, chief executive of the Blue Cross charity. The news that his dogs were left a hefty chunk of change is unsurprising since the designer's short suicide note read, "Look after my dogs, sorry, I love you, Lee." McQueen also left bequests to his siblings, nieces, nephews, his godson and his two-person household staff, but the bulk of his mill...
