We first heard in April that Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony were checking out the Icon Brickell in Miami but now they have made it one of their many homes. Anthony gushed about the purchase to People Magazine Monday night during halftime of the Miami Dolphins vs. Indianapolis Colts football game at Miami's Landshark Stadium. He told the magazine that once they are through decorating it will be "the sexiest place in town." Anthony is a minority partner in the Miami Dolphins team.

The condo is a three-tower condominium designed by Philippe Starck in a complex that includes the Viceroy Miami Hotel. It's a bright spot in a condo market that continues to be fighting sluggish sales. Building amenities include multiple pools, a spa and fitness center, five restaurants, rooftop pool club, concierge and valet services.

Lopez and Anthony have multiple homes in New York and Los Angeles. Their Bel Air home remains on the market at $7.9 million.

Members Only was once an 80's clothing icon but today it has been re-launched by Kelli Delaney to suit top artists' tastes and yours as well. Some of the most beloved looks in the M.O. line include bomber, biker and trench jackets. Start with lambskin trimmed to perfection, add feminine lines, a shortened waist and metallic hardware and you have the beginnings of a beautiful jacket. One of the newest additions launched this week on M.O. is just such a jacket lined with sheep fur or chinchilla dyed rabbit fur for $1,320. It has even already been seen on Jennifer Lopez so it must be a hot item.

Members Only products are made with fine Italian leather, custom made hardware, and are produced by hand in NYC with such stars as Mariah Carey and Miley Cyrus wearing them around town.

Australia's The Age newspaper is reporting that Jennifer Lopez received a lavish "push present" from her husband Marc Anthony. The push present is usually a piece of jewelry given to a woman to celebrate the birth of a child and has gained great popularity as a tradition over the last couple of years. Anthony gave Lopez an eigh-carat canary diamond ring as a present. The Age reports that Lopez was thrilled with the bauble. Lavish indeed but you'd think maybe earrings might be a better gift for a double birth.

Fashion designer Vera Wang is famous for her extravagant wedding dresses but the most expensive dress she ever made is one we never got to see. In an interview on CNBC's "Conversations with Michael Eisner" that will air Monday, Vera Wang said the that the dress she created for Jennifer Lopez's canceled wedding to Ben Affleck was the most expensive she ever made. The dress was made of couture fabric and had 18 tiers. Wang says that it was the most expensive and the most time consuming to sew. I wonder what ever happened to the dress, was it destroyed or is it somewhere in Vera Wang's archives?

I must say I'm actually really glad that I'm not invited to Jennifer Lopez's baby shower, because that girl has some expensive taste and I wouldn't be able to get her anything she wanted! She's registered at Petit Tresor in L.A., and considering she's the richest woman under 40 (according to Fortune) it should be no surprise that she plans to raise her baby girl and baby boy in true superstar style. From cashmere baby outfits to Moses blankets to high-end strollers, not only does she have pricey taste but she's requesting almost everything in sets of two: one pink and one blue.

But don't worry, if you're invited to the shower you have until February to get your cash together!

The folks at Gresso have found a new way to sell music using on of their wood USB flash drives. They are now teaming up with music companies to release flash drives for specific albums. Their first offering is Jennifer Lopez's new album "Brave". The flash drive costs $70. Considering that Lopez is having enough trouble selling the album in its regular format this doesn't seem like the best choice for an initial offering.

It's not an awards show without diamonds and any worries over stars not coming to the red carpet draped in jewels after the movie "Blood Diamond" were quickly dispelled at the Golden Globes awards. Big beautiful diamonds were seen on most celebs with a heavy emphasis on yellow diamonds. Let's take a look at some of the most stunning pieces of the night.

Beyonce dazzled in a Lorraine Schwartz- multi-colored diamond and old ivory bangle valued at $125,000, multi-colored Diamond earrings of a 40 carat total weight valued at $225,000 and a knuckleduster of a gray, yellow and white diamond ring with a 25 carat total weight valued at $110,000.

You might question her judgment on fashion, men and musical tastes, but when it comes to her choices in pricey beauty products, Jennifer Lopez only picks winners. A case in point in her love of La Mer cosmetics.

Powered by some kind of mysterious unnamed "broth",  La Mer's lifting face serum and intensifer are, according to devotees like J.Lo, worth every penny.

The serum, which is applied beneath your moisturizer is created through blue algae bio-fermentation. Though it sounds yucky,  blue algae has a remarkable capacity for restoring the skin's smoothness and clarity. 

La Mer's intensifier is designed to boost the lifting benefits of The Lifting Face Serum with Azurite, a crystalline material formed in sea beds. As The Lifting Intensifier is absorbed over time, the mesh-like collagen and elastin uphold the skin.

Still, blue algae is a little weird, and I have to wonder where they got that special algae from, because at $285, it sure can't be from the pond in my local park.

Nothing is ever good enough for American Idol judge Simon Cowell. According to the 3AM Girls, Cowell is tearing down his Beverly Hills home. The mansion, which cost over $10 million used to belong to Jennifer Lopez.  J. Lo.'s white-on-white minimalist style wasn't right for Simon and so he is tearing it down and building a new one more to his liking. I'm wondering if this is the same house Sam Nazarian bought last year. Either way it's a pretty expensive tear-down even by Beverly Hills standards.
