Destination Inspiration: {El Cartligto, Spain}

{..."El Carligto is a private and secluded 3.5 hectare (10 acre) country estate perched in the mountains of Andalucia (Andalusia), near Malaga, Spain... Set atop a private hill, bordering an Andalucian mountain nature reserve and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, El Carligto is a rustic luxury villa retreat and an exclusive destination in itself... El Carligto is an ideal base from which to explore the mountains and beaches, the cities of Malaga, Granada, Cordoba and Seville or the quaint local whitewashed villages so immersed in the region’s Moorish history."}

London overtakes New York as top fashion capital

According to a new survey by internet tracking company, the Global Language Monitor, the British capital takes the reign thanks to fashion's most prominent pairing in years: Princess Kate and Alexander McQueen.

Based on a ranking that tracks mentions on the internet, New York had ruled supreme in past years, but 2011 seems to be the end of the "Sex and the City" era, making room for the Duchess of Cambridge's royal style, which first came to the world's attention thanks to her McQueen wedding dress.

"We are seeing what the impact of two genuine media stars, Princess Kate and Alexander McQueen can have upon a global ranking. Our numbers show that it was their presence that tipped the victory to London over New York," said Bekka Payack, the Manhattan-based fashion correspondent of the Global Language Monitor. "

London and New York are followed by Paris, Milan, Los Angeles, and Hong Kong. Barcelona, Singapore, Tokyo and Berlin are also featured in the top ten.

Jennifer Lopez returning to 'Idol'

If there was ever any doubt, it's gone now. Jennifer Lopez will be back at the judge's panel for the 11th season of "American Idol."

The Fox network has made Lopez's return official, along with her fellow judges, Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler and record producer Randy Jackson. In addition, Fox said Wednesday that Ryan Seacrest will be back as host.

Singer-actress Lopez debuted as a judge this past season. But in recent weeks, she had publicly been coy about whether she would stay with the hit musical competition.

Any lingering skepticism was dispelled last week by "Idol" executive producer Nigel Lythgoe. He declared, unofficially, that Lopez would be back while interviewed on Seacrest's radio program.

"American Idol" begins its new season Jan. 22.
