Nick Cannon donates $2 million dollar shoes to New York children's hospital

 

Nick Cannon wants to help keep a New York City children's hospital open by donating the stunning $2 million diamond-encrusted shoes he wore to the America's Got Talent final show to the board of directors of the hospital.

The actor, rapper and TV host had the costly pair custom-made for him by designer Jason Arashenen, each shoe boasting more than 14,000 full-cut diamonds set in white gold, with a weight of 340 carats.

He showed off the fancy shoes during the last episode of America's Got Talent's 9th season on September 14th.

He said, "I'm on the board for St. Mary's so we're gonna do it for the children in those hospitals and save some hospitals."

"I want to keep this children's hospital going. It's one of the oldest children's hospitals in New York. You go in there and it puts everything in a proper perspective. You see all that they're going through and that they can still have a smile on their face. I get so much out of it."

The shoes are to be auctioned soon. 
Really nice of him :)

Men's guide: How to choose a good suit (and how to wear one)

Most men will need to wear a suit at one point in their lifetime.

Picking the right one could be a tricky affair, but not so if you always have these tips in mind.

Purpose of wearing the suit is always important: Whether you are picking one for the first time or you do this quite a lot, some important questions to ask yourself are: "Why am I going for this particular suit?" "Do I need the formal or casual look for this particular ocassion?"

Three golden tips to remember when it comes to picking a good suit are: 
Versatility, style and fit.

1> Versatility- As a general rule, its best to invest your money in a suit that can serve you for more than one occasion.

On picking a first suit, opting for black can be a bit of a bore, as it tends to give you strictly a formal look and nothing else, offering less flexibility. 

Personally, I would recommend a deep hue of blue(plain or striped), purple or grey for a first suit, as these colours can easily be played and also go pretty well with different shades of pants.

2> Style- Except of course you're to play the role of an actor in some '80s classic re-make, you do not want to get stuck in a rut still rocking old trends. New styles  are good for you. Embrace them.

3> Fit- The importance of a well-fitted suit cannot be over emphasized. A oversized suit or a really tiny one would do you no justice, so its really all about striking a balance. Snug is the word. A good suit should feel comfortable, while offering a bit of grip on the wearer. Here's a visual guide to how a suit should fit.

Early... or Later?

Besides its perks, a career could be a time-consuming affair.

A lot of CEOs and people in the business world would often complain of not having enough time for their personal lives, since they work so hard.

Supposing you have had a successful career, at what time(or age) do you think its best to retire??

Are you for early retirement... or later on?
