Gemma Atkinson is an English actress and glamour model.

Atkinson rose to fame playing Lisa Hunter on the teenage soap opera Hollyoaks. Atkinson played Goldie Lookin Chain’s love interest in the music video for the single R’n'B and featured the releases cover.

In early 2006, Atkinson underwent breast enlargement surgery, which took her chest to a 36DD.She said in an interview that she lost weight due to a fitness regime but her bust slowly declined. The surgery then gave them the original shape they once were.”

Since launching her parallel career as a glamour model, Atkinson has appeared in provocative photoshoots in lingerie and swimwear, including non-nude topless shots, for men’s magazines such as Arena, FHM, Loaded, Maxim, Zoo Weekly and Nuts. In October 2006 she appeared in three of the aforementioned magazines in one month, becoming one of the most prolific celebrity glamor models in the UK. In November 2006, it was announced by Zoo Weekly that Atkinson had agreed to lend her name to their regular “sex and relationships column”.

In May 2007, Atkinson was announced as the “glamourous new face” of the British Grand Prix and the official “mascot” of the “hi-octane” championship at Silverstone on July 8. She was the face of the 2007 Tour de France. She has most recently been seen as the new face of the Lingerie chain La Senza. Recently she went to Thailand to shoot her 2008 calendar.

More recently, she has been linked to the Portuguese international and Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Pierre Spies (born 8 June 1985 in Pretoria, South Africa). Pierre started his career on the flank, but has since moved the more suitable position of eight man where plays for the South African Springboks and the Vodacom Blue Bulls.

Spies made his Super 12 debut on the against the Brumbies, becoming the youngest player ever to represent the Bulls. After being injured in his first ever Super 12 match, he made his comeback through the the national under-21 league, where he scored nine tries in just six games.

Although he plays as a loose forward, he has incredible pace. His 100m time is believed to be about 11 seconds. This is especially impressive considering his size, 195cm tall and 107kg at present.

After starring for the U21 Springbok side that played in the U21 Rugby World Cup in France last year, Spies made his debut in the Springbok’s 49 - 0 drubbing at the hands of Australia in the 2006 Tri-Nations. Spies was largely anonymous in that game, however, Springbok coach Jake White picked him again for the home-leg of the tournament. There, Spies turned in two Man of the Match performances, most notably in the win over the All Blacks in Rustenburg, and in the victory over Australia in Durban.

Spies will be representing South Africa at the 2007 Rugby World Cup to be played in France in September.

After retaining the Tri Nations and Bledisloe Cup in Auckland, New Zealand coach Graham Henry has named 29 of the players.

One player perhaps unlucky not to make the squad is Piri Weepu, the good performances from Brendon Leonard and Andrew Ellis in the Tri Nations and IRB Pacific Nations Cup respectively seeing them join Byron Kelleher as the three scrum halves in the squad.

His fellow forward Bob Skinstad and fullback Percy Montgomery also return to the World Cup stage some eight years after their last appearance, while seven others involved in the 2003 tournament are named in White’s squad, including captain John Smit.
