Gary Barlow braves the media Circus

A very buff-looking Gary Barlow celebrates Take That's runner-up best-selling album of the year prize by getting his kit off for last month's i-D magazine. Or something like that.

B*Boy Underwear

B*boy Underwear has been created by Australian William Baker, designer and stylist, who is best known for his work with Kylie Minogue.

The range also includes swimwear.

I really like the clean graphic lines and especially their lovely bruised angel-looking American model Evan Wadle.

Babygod

Babygod are a new British men's clothing company who create clothing from organic cotton that comes from fairly-traded sources.

Now that sounds like it has all the potential to be dull and worthy, but their underwear is cleanly styled, very contemporary and rather sexy, and although their website gives little away (even their clothing range), they seem to be using a delightful amount of bearish models...

I'm sure you'll be seeing some hairy baby god wearing Babygod in a club near you soon...

Take That - Greatest Day for The Circus


Take That have scored the biggest first day sale of the year with their new album, The Circus.

The album sold 133,000 copies on its launch day on Monday, according to Official Charts Company sales data.

The figure puts the album easily on course to be number one in Sunday's album chart.

The year's previous fastest-selling album was Coldplay's Viva La Vida Or death And All His Friends, which sold 125,000 copies on its first day.

Despite netting the biggest first day sale title, sales of the album had actually been hit due to the collapse of major CD distributor Entertainment UK last week.

Several key retailers including Woolworths, Zavvi and W H Smith were left without the album on shelves and online on Monday.

Men get better with age - Gary Barlow

From the very first time I saw a photograph of Take That in 1991, before I even heard their first single, I liked Gary Barlow the best.

For years this meant I was out of step with most people - although, to be fair, Gary has always had a large and loyal following within Take That's large and loyal fanbase.

And now, more than fifteen year later, I like him just as much. In fact, I like him more, because men get better with age.
