Dylan Lauren, the daughter of fashion mogul Ralph Lauren and the founder and CEO of Dylan’s Candy Bar, will pay a visit to Darien Sports Shop on Tuesday Nov. 20 at 4 p.m.

Lauren will discuss and sign copies of her latest book, “Dylan’s Candy Bar:  Unwrap Your Sweet Life,” and share decorating and gift-giving ideas for holidays and special occasion.

As the daughter of legendary fashion icon Ralph Lauren and author Ricky Lauren, Dylan was immersed at an early age in design, art and fashion.

Inspired by seeing the film “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” on her fifth birthday, Lauren realized her childhood dream by opening her first candy store in 2001.

Now with five locations and two more opening this year in Miami and Los Angeles, Dylan’s Candy Bar is expanding to the international markets.

For the past 30 years, WWE has tagged Hulk Hogan, The Rock and other pro-wrestling Superstars for its pay-per-view spectacles.

Now, the Stamford-based company is getting behind the musical muscle of a rock `n’ roll colossus.

Next month, WWE plans to distribute the fifth and final concert of the Rolling Stones‘ latest tour as a live pay-per-view event, “One More Shot.”

“WWE is ecstatic to bring The Rolling Stones into your living room,’” WWE CEO Vince McMahon announced in a statement.

The sold-out Dec. 15 show at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., is one of five dates on the Stones’ brief 50th anniversary tour, which includes a stop at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Dec. 8, another gig at the Prudential Center on Dec. 13 and two concerts at London’s O2 Arena on Nov. 25 and 29. The tour marks the Stones’ first slate of shows in five years.

“I’ve always said the best place for rock and roll is on the stage and the same is true for the Stones,” guitarist Keith Richards, who owns a home in Weston, said on the band’s website. “I’m here with Mick, Charlie and Ronnie and everything is rocking. See you very soon!”
