Spot which stars will shine on hi-tech TV

Victoria Ward

HOLLYWOOD star Cameron Diaz could become the biggest casualty of high-definition TV, topping a list of celebrities whose flaws cannot be concealed by the harsh lens.

The former Charlie's Angels actress "looks more like Charlie than an angel" according to entertainment guide OnHD.TV which has listed beauties most likely to suffer by the new technology.

HDTV is six times clearer than normal television, meaning beauticians will have to work six times harder to hide every spot and stray hair.

Michael Douglas comes in a close second and OnHD.TV claims being married to Catherine Zeta Jones doesn't help much either.

"He appears even older when he's standing next to her," it declares.

But it's good news for his Swansea-born wife. OnHD.TV says she is "absolutely gorgeous" and it shows in high definition.

Others who can expect their careers to falter include Britney Spears, who reportedly looks ten years older on HDTV, and Brad Pitt who has some skin problems of his own.

But it's not all bad news for viewers. HDTV can make those blessed with good looks appear even more beautiful and tennis star Anna Kournikova tops the list of those who will benefit from a clear lens.
