Beach theme for Elton’s annual charity bash

Elton John hosted his annual White Tie and Tiara Ball at his £20 million house in Windsor, Berkshire last night.

Last year he raised £6.1 million for Elton’s Aids Foundation, and this year the £3,000 a ticket event was attended by Mischa Barton, Eva Herzigova, Elle Macpherson and Will Smith. This year’s bash had a beach theme.

Slightly further down the fame stakes, other guests included Gordon Ramsey, Graham Norton and Westlife’s Kian Egan.


Dot-com era soon to be no more

As internet regulators yesterday granted permission allowing thousands of new domain names.

In one of the biggest changes to the web since it was created, businesses have been given the all-clear to apply for different suffixes, rather than the normal .com, .org, or .info currently being used.

So the future of internet webpages could cover locations such as .london, industries such as .bank, or entertainment such as .gamble. It could also mean that website creators could end their website addresses with .sex or .xxx. Something tells me people are going to start to get imaginative…
