Source: Examiner - Rocker Sting and Trudie Styler, his wife of 18 years, maintain their fit, youthful physiques by doing yoga every day and having an active sex life.

Styler, 57, who released a yoga exercise DVD in 2009, is launching another workout video called Weight Loss Yoga in March 2011.Both she and Sting, 59, have been doing yoga for 20 years, crediting their daily workouts with a happier marriage and an increased feeling of well-being in all areas of their lives.

Despite their disciplined approach to exercise, Styler and Sting indulge their joie de vivre. "We're epicureans; we believe in the good life," Sting tells the February 2011 issue of Harper's Bazaar.Styler adds, "Eating's pretty major; we have feasts at our house."

Another major component of their happy marriage is plenty of "tawdry" sex."

I don't think pedestrian sex is very interesting," says Sting. "I like the theater of sex. I like to look good. I like her to dress up. I like to dress her up."Trudie and Styler, who have been together for almost 30 years, have raised six children together and weathered ups and downs in both their personal and professional lives.

Through it all, they've managed to stay in love despite the pitfalls of fame, fortune and temptation. So what's their secret?

"We treat every day as it comes," Sting explains. "Relationships aren't easy, and I don't think they're particularly natural, but we're lucky because we actually like each other."

We love each other--that's a given--but Trudie lights my world up when she comes into a room. I don't take her for granted.

"Communication is also key. "It's important to have frank discussions about what the other wants," Styler says.

"To be in a relationship that is like a little lifetime, that's a challenge."

Michael Jackson's 'Michael' Projected to Sell 400,000 Copies In First Week

Source: Rolling Stone - Sony Music Entertainment, which is distributing the first the first posthumous album from Michael Jackson, is expecting big numbers from the Epic Records release Michael when it hits stores on December 14.

Billboard reports that the company will ship 900,000 copies of the album to retailers around the country, and that Sony expects to sell some 340,000 units at physical retailers during the album's first week. That, plus a projected digital-sales total of 60,000 albums, adds up to a grand total of 400,000 first-week sales, which would make Michael one of the better-selling chart debuts of 2010.

Taylor Swift's Speak Now, which sold more than a million copies in its first week, is the best-selling chart debut so far this year; 2010 albums by Eminem (Recovery), Sade (Soldier of Love) and Drake (Thank Me Later) have also sold more than 400,000 copies in their inaugural debut weeks.

Second-week projections estimate that total sales will slip to 280,000 units, with digital sales making up 8 percent of that total (22,400 copies) as opposed to the previous week's 15 percent. That second week starts December 21 and coincides with the height of holiday shopping season, and Jackson's enduring popularity means that Michael could be a popular last-minute stocking stuffer or office grab bag item.

"Breaking News," a teaser track from Michael, was released online earlier this week to controversy over whether or not Jackson was actually providing vocals for the track. The first official single from the album, the Akon-assisted "Hold My Hand," will go on sale at digital retailers this Monday.

Michael's list price will be $13.98.

Sean Penn Honored For Work In Haiti (Video)

Source: Ecorazzi - Sean Penn might occasionally lose his temper, but his passion for social causes keeps him resting steady as one of our favorites!

 On Thursday, The Huffington Post hosted the 2010 Game Changers — an annual event celebrating “100 innovators, mavericks, visionaries, and leaders who are changing the way we look at the world and the way we live in it.”

According to Arianna Huffington, “Game Changers operate in multiple worlds but, whatever the arena, they share a common trait: a willingness to look at things and take the risk of saying, ‘I think I have a better way.’”

At the ceremony, Penn — a game changer in many ways — was honored by Anderson Cooper for his work in Haiti.

Since the earthquake struck Haiti earlier this year, Penn has been working relentlessly to help rebuild the country and even founded the JP Haitian Relief Organization with philanthropist Diana Jenkins.

While accepting the award, Penn asked donors to be more discerning about where they send their money and suggested to entrepreneurs that Haiti would be the perfect location to create green tech jobs.
