Yes - Hayden Panattiere in nothing but a bikini. This girl’s star is going places.

 

Yes - Hayden Panattiere, that beautiful cheerleader with the mutant healing factor from that NBC TV series Heroes - the second season of which is due out really soon, which just means, more of Hayden. We’re waiting in anticipation.

Situated with the Baltic sea as a backdrop, St. Petersburg was founded by the great conqueror Peter the Great, and was the capital of Imperial Russia from 1712 to 1914. It remains the most beautiful of Russia’s cities, and is Russia’s cultural capital, with residents including luminaries such as Pushkin, Dostoyevsky, Tchaikovsky and Tolstoy. The city itself is like a living museum, with such classical and beautiful architecture, and art is a key attraction. With a collection that dwarfs that of the Louvre or the Guggenheim, the Hermitage, which was started to house Catherine the great’s art collection, is probably the definitive art museum, and an attraction every bit as engaging as the balleriinas in the Bolshoi theatre in Moscow.  

Disembarking from your cruise ship, you’re likely to receive all sorts of warnings from ship personnel about pickpockets and black marketeers. The stern-faced customs officials at the pier don’t help to dispel any impression of the staid image of the city. But, once in the city, you will find St. Petersburg a wonderful place, little different from any other northern european city.This was the beautiful city Peter the Great founded in 1703, built on what was originally swampland, and is now home to some unbelievably sumptuous palaces,  Orthodox cathedrals and the lovely Neva River, along which romantic twilight cruises glide. Peter the Great was inspired by London, Paris and Vienna and most of the original city design remains till today.

Italy versus France in the World Cup Finals

Zidane and his team of superstars have surpassed expectations and are now facing Totti and his Italian team-mates for world cup glory in Munich.

Who’s going to take it home? We’re all for Zidane, all for the guy who has played superb football and given us so much to enjoy for the last 10 years. Here, we’re all looking forward to a really good match come Sunday.

World Cup Fever

It’s the world cup season in the blisteringly hot summer of Germany. Footballers are expected to fry in the pitches while the spectators sweat in the stands. And the TV audience enjoy the games from the air-conditioned comfort of their living rooms. Brazil is all set to win, with Argentina the dark horses, and England set to make the last 16 but no further.

Beautiful Russia

Russia looks like the next big European travel destination. Big on heritage and beautiful scenery, Russia has it all. For those looking for art and beautiful palaces, look no further than Saint Petersburg,
where the State Hermitage Museum downtown contains more beautiful art pieces than the Louvre. Boasting pieces from Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, a gallery dedicated to Rembrandt, pieces from Central Asia and Egypt, as well as assorted European masters,
this is one of the great art museums of the world.

Enjoy the fountains of Petershof, the summer palace of Peter the Great, inspired during his visit to Versailles, it features a cascading fountain second to no other.

And the babes aren’t half bad either. Think anna kornikova and maria sharapova. Think blonde and blue-eyed beauties. You get the idea.
