| Maria Sharapova shines at IMG players party
The traditional IMG players party at Crown was a glamorous affair with the likes of Maria Sharapova and James Blake leading the stars on show. But earlier Jelena Jankovic, who has climbed into the top five in the world, stole the limelight at a party held by Prince. Jankovic looked more like a model wearing 10cm heels and a small black mini-dress. Alighting from a yellow Lamborghini without showing her underwear was a struggle. "It's hard getting out of a car in a dress like this with photographers everywhere," Jankovic said. Joining her at the party, which was held at the Lamborghini outlet in South Yarra was controversial world No.4 Russian Nikolay Davydenko. He turned up looking smart and colour co-ordinated with a black car.

South Africa has lost another great talent too soon. My soap star deluxe is Nthathi Moshesh. The Scandal actress, one of our most gifted actresses, says she is having a ball on the show and looked relaxed in spite of the dreaded contract negotiations. In fact, she was all smiles talking about how her cousin, Mashechaba Moshoeshoe of Kaya talk, reads a book a day. "She has been reading since she was little," she said, before dashing off to join Scandal's Jenna Dover, Dawn Matthews, Litha Bam and Rhythm City's Jamie Bartlett, another amazing acting talent that's getting a raw deal from the industry's act-in-a-soap-or-be-jobless status quo.
