X'mas comes early for Danai Udomchoke and friends

Danai Udomchoke from Thailand is already in the Chrismas mood.

Together with team mate, Tamarine Tanasugarn and Korean Woong-sun Jun, they were out in the snowy, freezing cold weather making snowmen.

The tennis players are in Astana, Kazakhstan for the Asian Hopman Cup from 12-15 November.

Below are team photos taken before and during the Opening Ceremony of the Asian Hopman Cup, all taken from Danai's official site.


Kudos to Danai for keeping his website updated!

Camilla Belle ditched BFF Maria Sharapova, hooks up with Joe Jonas

Maria Sharapova and actress Camilla Belle used to be inseparable.

They were seen everywhere from basketball matches to fashion shows and from parties to going on vacations together.

Some people suggests they were more than just BFFs.

In recent months, Sharapova and Belle have not been seen together. Sharapova is not seeing Charlie Ebersol either.

But according to the People magazine, Belle is now dating Joe Jonas, one third of the boy band The Jonas Brothers.

The couple met on the set of The Jonas Brothers "Love Bug" music video.

Fernando Verdasco and Ana Ivanovic spotted together at Real Madrid match

There's no PDA (public display of affection) like Jurgen Melzer and Domonika Cibulkova yet.

But this is the first time we see Fernando Verdasco and Ana Ivanovic, or better known as Anando, together in a photo, off-court after China Open.

Verdasco (or Nando who is what he is affectionately called) flew all the way to Doha to support Ana at the WTA Championships and of course to celebrate Ana's birthday.

Now this week, Nando will be celebrating his birthday on Nov 15. So, to see them together at the Real Madrid vs Real Union match doesn't come as a surprise to me at all.

From the youtube video, it looks like the hottest couple in tennis right now is pretty comfortable opening up their relationship.



Come Anando, give us more...
