Guess who was named the worst…no surprise “Christina Aguilera”....

  • Who wants to give Anna a job
    Poor Anna! However I did find this quite a funny piece from insinuendo. She has never appeared to be one of the smartest around…I think she should stick to the modelling, thats where she should have started anyway, tennis is definitely not her field…

  • Smart Changing Rooms
    Soon dept stores will be filling up with smart changing rooms according to Wired news. The smart dressing room features six tennis ball-size digital cameras distributed at key points around the cubicle. A three-dimensional replica of the customer before she tries on clothes is extrapolated and the data fed to a computer running software that matches styles to body shapes. The...
