Admirers hoping to mirror Beyoncé's Grammy look better start saving up early, as her designer dress was accessorized with $7.5 million worth of jewelry.
According to jewelry expert Michael O'Conner, "Beyoncé's predominantly platinum ring stacks included such unusual combinations as colored gemstones, colored diamonds, classic cuts, and rose cut diamonds. On her left hand – with her massive engagement ring – she partnered a very long north south style ring comprised of rose and table cut diamonds to keep it simple and classic. On her right hand, she partnered 6 styles from classic diamond solitaires to clusters, colored diamonds and colored gemstones. When wearing multiple cocktail rings, her choice of platinum ensures maximum sparkle, which is the rock n' roll feel that she was going for at the Grammys. Estimated total value of this unique stacked rings look (minus the engagement ring) is approximately $7.5 million."

How have internet service providers, rights holders and campaigners reacted to the Newzbin2 court ruling?
Internet service providers, rights holders and lobbying groups have reacted to Thursday's landmark high court ruling forcing BT to block access to the illegal filesharing website Newzbin2.
Simon Milner, director of group policy at BT
"This is a helpful judgement, which provides clarity on this complex issue. It clearly shows that rights holders need to prove their claims and convince a judge to make a court order. BT has consistently said that rights holders need to take this route. We will return to court after the summer to explain what kind of order we believe is appropriate."
Chris Marcich, president and managing director of the Motion Picture Association, the Hollywood studios industry body that brought the action against BT

Ofcom asks competition regulators to look at Sky's deals with Hollywood studios and prices it charges rival pay-tv operators
Film fans could find it cheaper to watch the television premieres of Hollywood blockbusters such as Avatar and Clash of the Titans in future after the competition regulator today launched an investigation into BSkyB's dominance of the TV film subscription business.
BSkyB has long-running exclusive deals with the "big six" Hollywood studios – NBC Universal, Viacom, Fox, Disney, Sony and Time Warner – that gives it a large measure of control over the pricing of Us films and their distribution to UK pay-tv subscribers.
Media watchdog Ofcom today asked competition regulators to look at the deals Sky has in place with the studios and the prices it charges rival pay-tv operators, such as Virgin Media, to broadcast channels such as Sky Movies Premiere.
