Fit like Madonna

In a bid to mop up some of the money in the world she doesn't yet own, singer-turned-dullard-turned-children's-author-turned-string-seller Madonna is launching a chain of gyms:

A statement by Hard Candy Fitness says gyms "will open in major cities around the world," including 10 more locations in Russia, Brazil, Argentina, Europe and Asia. No gyms are immediately planned for the United States, but the statement noted that more locations are possible in the future.

Working out the Madonna way. Remember, though: she's been doing it for years, so it's unlikely you'll suddenly turn as grimly humourless as she did overnight.
