The Blue Room, more commonly used for debates (Winston Churchill, the Dalai Lama and Theodore Roosevelt are some of the personalities who held a speech here) is now the place for… another range of activities.

As a Cambridge Union spokeswoman said: “”We are of the opinion that classes like these are a way of empowering women, as well as being a fantastic way to exercise and have fun together with other women. If an intelligent, independent woman wishes to learn a particular form of dance in respectable surroundings, we see nothing degrading in that.”

Juan de Francisco, the Union Ents Officer responsible for the classes, reinforces this idea: “The classes are for fitness and well-being, and are not intended to be sexual. High heels are actually discouraged – the instructor has told me that attendees should wear trainers or go bare-foot.”

Well, if they offer a diploma at the end of the classes, there will be much more Cambridge graduates for sure!

But what about you? Can you think of a better way to fight exam stress?

They say second time is a charm, no? Actually, it was the third time, but in this case, I hope the first version applies also, because Siena and Jude do look nice together and if she managed to forget him for the cheating in the past, maybe it’s because she trully loves him. And true love always deserves a second chance. I just hope he doesn’t blow it this time.

Jude Law (37) and Sienna Miller (28) are said to have got engaged for the second time, with the actress seen wearing the same diamond ring he gave her in 2005, but on her right hand, trying to avoid all speculations. News flash: is not working, since the rumours started spreading!

The two actors went back together in December 2010, when a Caribbean beach holly day gave them the opportunity to relight the fire. Jude worked hard to redeem himself in front of Sienna, her parents and her sister, Savannah. But, when you have an affair with your children nanny (Daisy Wright in this case), you should be lucky if you get the chance to even plead your cause, not to talk about forgiveness. Jude Lude is a lucky man. Maybe he will act like a grown up this time, but then again, he’s just 37….

Few days ago, The Sun reported that Robert Pattinson will portray Kurt Cobain in a biopic called “All Apologies”. Moreover, Courtney Love was supposedly the one who proposed R Patz (blame it on the fans! ) for the role of her ex-husband. And, if you wonder who was Courtney’s first choice in playing her, the answer is: Scarlett Johansson! The similarities between the two are striking: first of all, they are both blondes, second… Well, at least Scarlett is a good actress and we all know make up can do miracles these days.

But let’s get back to our vampire, wanna-be rock star. Pattinson apparently “has always thought of himself as a musician rather than an actor”. So, there’s no surprise that the part of Nirvana frontman is the dream role for the young actor. But will this dream come true? According to Jonathan Daniel, Love’s manager, everything is just “an amazing story, and the first I’ve heard of any of this…. Courtney likes Scarlett Johansson as an actress and as a person, so it wouldn’t surprise me if she wanted her to play her. I’m not sure she knows who R Patz is, but he sure is cute”. Nonetheless, he confirmed that a film was in the making, based on the famous biography of Kurt Cobain – “Heavier Than Heaven”.

So, maybe after all we won’t see R Patz playing Kurt Cobain. Relieved? Although there’s no denying that a vampire can “smell the teen spirit” better than anyone or anything else, I have a strong feeling that there are more actors out there better suited for this role. What do you think? Any suggestions?

Kurt Cobain really desearves a great movie!

Oh, the horror! Ricky Martin is gay! Who would have guessed? All those pictures with him and another man (gorgeous one I may add) at the beach, all the rumors, everything was true! I know is not the right time to joke about it, but he must be the last one to figure this out…

“I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man,” Ricky said in a message posted on his offical Web site. “I am very blessed to be who I am… This was not supposed to happen 5 or 10 years ago, it is supposed to happen now. Today is my day, this is my time, and this is my moment,” he wrote.

No news for us here, but we applaud Ricky for finally stepping out. It took him 38 years to find the courage. The singer traded his “Livin’La Vida Loca” days for quality family time with his twin sons and his partner.

Well, at least, we still have the videos from when he used to “shake his bon-bon” for all of us….

And when I say mamma, I mean it! Pregnant for the second time, actress Monica Belucci (45), poses naked (well, almost) for the cover of Vanity Fair, Italian edition.

This is the second time she does so (each pregnancy deserves it’s nude photoshoot,no?), but the stunning actress insists she is just a normal mother-to-be. Talking about pregnancy glow….

Monica isn’t the only celebrity to pose nude (or semi-nude) on Vanity Fair cover. The most famous baby-bump has to be the one Demi Moore showed on the cover in 1991, when she was pregnant with her second child.

Just one small observation: the father of Monica’s children is Vincent Cassel, a french actor, and,in the case of Demi Moore, the father was Bruce Willis, THE Bruce Willis. From such parents, we can only expect that the youngsters will pick up on acting too. We know this is the case of Scout LaRue Willis, although she is only allowed to be in movies that her parents are in. For Monica Belucci children, we’ll just have to wait and see.

At HiFi Arena, Bang&Olufsen presented the BeoSound 5 player. Actually, this player was presented here for the first time in the world. I don’t have to mention again that this player has a very interesting design. Basically, the design is the first thing that will make you say “wow” when you see it. Second of all, BeoSound 5 reintroduce an old pleasure of the user, the one of scrolling the wheels. It has such a friendly user way of searching through the artist, albums and tracks, between different radio stations, or cd’s by using a huge wheel.

BeoSound 5 comes with a new featured developed by B&O. This feature is called MOTS (More of the Same). The player analyzes what kind of music you you listening to and scans your music library to create a playlist based on the parameters analyzed. Basically, you choose to listen a couple of tracks, and BeoSound 5 will take the control after. The parameters analyzed by the MOTS are rhythm, syncopation, key tonality and vocal harmonies. Now, the player knows your mood and will try to satisfy your music needs.

The BeoSound 5 is capable of playing WMA lossless files. This format of files contains the bits that are missing in the MP3 format. So, the listening experience will be much more closer to the reality. The player comes with another unit, called BeoMaster 5. This unit is the “brain” of the system. It has a 500GB HD drive, capable of storing the songs and the galleries. Also, it has the ability of playing Internet Music (N.Music), Internet Radio (N.Radio), Photos and even Web browsing. Supported formats are WMA, WMA Lossless, MP3, WAV, ASF, AAC, ASX, M3U, BMP, GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, JPG, MPEG, MPE, PMG, AVI, WMV, VFW1111. The software inside works on Microsoft Windows XP embedded.

Did I mention something about photos and web browsing??? Yes. The BeoSound 5 has an “album cover” feature. Through the 1024×768 LCD display, the user can see the album cover of the played album. This album cover feature is so easy to use using the BeoConnect software.

The BeoSound 5 has two very interesting stands. One of them is a black soft touch laquered iron stable and the other is a silver iron/zinc floor stand.

The only thing that I can say is that by far the Bang&Olufsen BeoSound 5 player was the most interesting device seen on HiFi Arena Bucharest 2008.

The big names of the exhibition were: Bang & Olufsen, Bose, Sony Overseas, Yamaha and Audiotehnic. I tried many products and all of them were incredible.

These days we are going to present you the latest and the most interesting products. You can find these articles by searching the “Hifi Arena” tag.

It is equipped with medical emergency equipment and high speed survelliance devices. It has a refrigerated cabinet in the hood for transporting donor organs and a defibrillator on-board. So, the policemen have to know some medical studies. There are 30 police officers (including 3 women) that have been trained for using the medical equipment.

But this car is not just an ambulance. It has attached in the front a live video camera connected to the station that surveillance the traffic and the speed of the cars. This camera is connected with a GPS device. Both of them, working together, make everything much more easier. The camera broadcasts live the chasing and transmits all the data (location, speed, direction, license plate number) to the police station using radio data transmission. This way, the details about the pursued car are already found out.

Now, this is the most powerful police car at the moment!
