PHOTO OP: Shrieka pimps out TAG Heuer, not so Pris-sy anymore (phew)

Maria Sharapova's starring in the latest campaign for TAG Heuer called "What Are You Made Of?".

The campaign asks people to help the charities of their fave TAG ambassador including Tiger Woods, Leonardo Dicaprio and Shrieka.

Is it just me or does it look like Shrieka's about to take someone out brass knuckle style with that watch in the first picture? I'd be afraid to meet the Ice Queen in a dark alley.

In any case, I'm relieved the watchmaker didn't go all Pris-sy with the Russian again. Egads.

PHOTO OP: Agnes + Dominika are cute but Caroline is a real drag

Here's a promotional image for a new series of Bluetooth watches launched this week by Sony Ericsson and starring Agnes Szavay, Dominika Cibulkova, and Caroline Wozniacki.

The watches can control a cellular phone and "with a glance at your watch you can see who is calling, what the time is and with a push of a button you can change your music or use it as a music remote control when your phone is on the other side of the room– all in one stylish device.”

How convenient indeed. But what happened to Caroline in the promo? Agnes and Dominika look fine and all but the 18-year old Dane looks like a 40-year old West Village drag queen. Someone get Wozy to a piano bar stat.

C'mon people - can't we just let kids by kids? Geesh.

VIDEO VAULT: Rafael Nadal sharpens his acting chops for TIMEFORCE watches

We all knew Rafael Nadal could smack a tennis ball, but did you know he could act? We didn't until we saw these funny commercials the World No. 2 did for TIME FORCE concept watches where he has his own Rafa Nadal Exclusive Collection. His co-star in these spots is his 7' 1" countryman Paul Gasol who plays for the Memphis Grizlies NBA team. The two athletes are put to three different tasks involving a chihuahua, a sumo wrestler, a some friendly ball-bashing. The ads are in Spanish - but no worries, you'll get the gist.

Rafa seems surprisingly natural in front of the camera - second career, maybe?
