Michael Kors retail locales have been popping up left and right. His newest store will be replacing the 7,000 sq. ft. Rockefeller Center shop at 49th Street and Channel Gardens currently housing Kenneth Cole (which is slated to close its doors this April, along with eight other full-price locations). The much-sought-after space will don marble floors, wood displays and a zebra hide motif.

Ready-to-wear from the Michael Michael Kors line alongside accessories from the Michael Kors, Michael Michael Kors, and Kors Michael Kors collections will be featured.

“The opening of my lifestyle flagship boutique at Rockefeller Center is an extremely humbling and exciting reality,” Kors said. “As both a designer and a native New Yorker, what could be more incredible than a store in the heart of the city at Rockefeller Center?”

Michael Kors is making big moves all over the world with lifestyle boutiques already in operation in Andorra, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Canary Islands, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and the UK-just to name a few.

The brand is currently eyeing space on Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles, Madison Avenue in New York as well as a three-year plan to open 50 stores in the greater China region. {Daily Front Row}

The most unexpected aspiration? Kors would follow Vera Wang in jumping on the burger bandwagon if asked by the right chain. “I want a deal with In-N-Out Burger — to do a special sauce or a wrapper. I’m horseradish-obsessed!” {LA Times} Not sure if an In-N-Out burger with purchase will draw in the fashionistas, but if anyone can make it work, it would probably be Kors.

Yup, you read right.

Cristiano Ronaldo is now a father, with the birth of his son when he announced the news to fans on his Facebook fan page, on a perfectly timed, Independence Day.

But how and when did this take place? Did he bear the child with current girlfriend, Russian Model Irina Shayk? Or was it with one of his many ex-girlfriends from the past? Well according to the Portugese soccer star’s own Facebook announcement, it could quite honestly, be anyone, instead preferring to keep the whole matter a secret.

Cristiano Ronaldo's announcement to fans on his Facebook fan page.

He wrote, “It is with great joy and emotion that I inform I have recently become father to a baby boy. As agreed with the baby’s mother, who prefers to have her identity kept confidential, my son will be under my exclusive guardianship. No further information will be provided on this subject and I request everyone to fully respect my right to privacy (and that of the child) at least on issues as personal as these are.”

However, according to latest updates, the baby was actually conceived through surrogacy and the mother is believed to be American, although her identity remains unknown. Portugese newspaper Diario de Noticias was the first to report this, also further that Ronaldo’s son was actually born on June 17 in the Californian city of San Diego, while he was away in South Africa for the World Cup.

Perhaps that is the real reason why he scored only one goal throughout the tournament, which occurred in a routine 7-0 thrashing of North Korea?

Or was his mind actually on this other matter – the fact that he paid a whopping amount of nearly $20 million to the surrogate of his son so as to attain all rights to the child and for her to remain silent and unseen throughout the entire process and ensuing media whirlwind. {Gossip Center}

One source said, “He paid nearly a yearâ€s wages but itâ€s more than worth it,” before continuing, “Heâ€s called it the most expensive day of his life, but at least he has sole custody.”

Although the highest paid footballer in the world might have paid an insane amount to have a surrogate bear his child, he couldn’t buy his way to a World Cup trophy. But we’re sure the feeling of a trophy in one’s hands pales compared to holding a child.
