Serena Williams Wins 2013 US Open Championship Serena is a beast !!! According to CBS News: Fussing with her skirt and flubbing her shots, Serena Williams was troubled in the U.S. Open final by the swirling air and the strong play of Victoria Azarenka. After one miss, Williams declared, “I can’t play in this wind.” After blowing a big second-set lead, Williams chucked her racket toward the sideline, and it bounced back onto the court. In the end, Williams pulled herself together, as she usually does when it matters the most. Facing her first test of the past two weeks, the No. 1-seeded Williams overcame No. 2 Azarenka 7-5, 6-7 (6), 6-1 on Sunday for a fifth championship at Flushing Meadows and second in a row. “As impressive as her final set was, the bigger achievement may have been handling both her nerves as well as the swirling winds throughout Arthur Ashe Stadium,” writes CBS Sports’ Mike Singer. Williams, who turns 32 in 2-and-a-half weeks, raised her Grand Slam singles title count to 17, the sixth-most in history and one shy of Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert. Williams collected a $3.6 million prize, including a $1 million bonus for producing the best results during the North American summer hard-court circuit leading up to the U.S. Open. Helped by nine aces, one at 126 mph, Williams improved to 67-4 with a career-best nine titles in 2013. Since a first-round exit at the 2012 French Open, Williams is 98-5 with 14 titles, winning four of the past six Grand Slam tournaments. But this one did not come easily, even though it appeared to be nearly over when Williams went ahead by two breaks at 4-1 in the second set. Williams served for the match at 5-4 and 6-5 — only to have the gutsy Azarenka break each time. This was a rematch of last year’s final, also won by Williams in three sets, and two-time Australian Open champion Azarenka provided another challenge with her big swings off both wings. Williams wound up holding there with a 104 mph ace, part of what seemed to be a match-altering stretch. She won five consecutive games and 16 of 18 points to take the first set and go up a break in the second. Her lead grew to 4-1 in the second set, before Azarenka made things competitive again. Azarenka is responsible for two of Williams’ four losses this season. And entering Sunday, Azarenka was 31-1 on hard courts this season, and she showed why for portions of the final, playing far better than she had in her preceding six matches in New York. But she simply could not keep pace with Williams, who eventually adjusted to her opponent and the wind that topped 15 mph. Williams put aside her issues to finish with a 36-17 edge in winners. The first time Williams served for the championship, at 5-4, Azarenka hit a cross-court forehand winner for break point, then forced a backhand long. Williams came right back to break for a 6-5 edge. But on her second chance to serve it out, she double-faulted to get broken for the fourth time Sunday. Congrats, Serena!!!!!
Twerking ruins relationships ! Liam Hemsworth Reportedly Wants To Break Up With Miley Cyrus Via US Weekly reports: Miley Cyrus may have no problem with her much-talked about performance at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, Aug. 25, but one very important person in her life does — fiance Liam Hemsworth. According to a source close to the actor, the pair is “just weeks away from calling it off permanently.” “He is over her and wants to make a clean break,” the source tells Us of the Australian hunk. “No more back and forth.” Another insider adds that Hemsworth found Cyrus’ performance, in which she rubbed up against Robin Thicke and made crude gestures with a giant foam finger, “mortifying.” Hemsworth, 23, and Cyrus, 20, have been on and off in recent months, and though the young couple reunited on the red carpet on Thursday, Aug. 8, the pair “acted as if they were strangers,” a source told Us at the time. At present, the pair still reside together at Cyrus’ home in L.A.’s Toluca Lake, but the pair are more like roommates than lovers, another source notes. “They’re not even sleeping in the same room,” the source said. This doesn’t make any sense. If he wants to dump her, do it already. Everybody is waiting for this train wreck to be over, but no, Liam still keeps hanging around. Do you think Liam should dump his culture vulture boo?

Has homewrecking put her on top of her game? As she dominates the US Open, Serena and her rumored coach boo are the subject of a new feature that credits him with helping her kill the competition. Via NYDailyNews reports : At 31 years old and chasing history, she has overpowered everything on her court, ranked or unranked, finding health and peak performance behind a new coach who apparently doubles as a significant other. It has been this way for months — ever since Patrick Mouratoglou began overseeing her career last year. “Mentally, she’s different. She really wants it,” the Frenchman coach said. “She’s working like she’s 19 years old and wants to win her first Grand Slam. She has the same appetite. “That makes a huge difference. How many players being (almost) 32 have the same appetite and especially after winning so many Grand Slams? I mean, they are different. Serena is really different, mentally.” Williams, who turns 32 on Sept. 26, is the unbeatable force at Flushing, a lock, it would seem, to bowl through Friday’s semifinals and move one step closer to the three women with more Grand Slam titles — Chris Evert (18), Martina Navratilova (18) and Steffi Graf (22). Williams, who faces fifth-seeded Li Na on Friday, has 16 Grand Slam titles and counting. She has dropped just 13 games through five rounds at the Open. But Mouratoglou said history or records are never discussed. “She doesn’t speak about it,” Mouratoglou said. “What she says is she wants to be the best she can be. She wants to keep on improving. She said to me at the start, ‘I’m prepared to do anything to be back to the top and to be winning Grand Slams.’ ” According to reports and paparazzi pictures, Mouratoglou, 43, is more than a coach to Williams. He started working with Williams in June last year, following her first-round ouster at the French Open. Williams responded with three Grand Slam titles and an Olympic gold medal, while her off-the-court relationship with her coach raised eyebrows. The pair has been photographed together during intimate moments, whether holding hands on a boat, or cuddling on a street in France. Both have declined to discuss their relationship beyond tennis, but it’s clear they’re comfortable in each other’s presence. Maria Sharapova, who skipped this U.S. Open because of a shoulder injury, brought negative attention to the relationship in a back-and-forth with Williams during Wimbledon. “Maybe she should talk about her relationship and her boyfriend that was married and is getting a divorce and has kids,” Sharapova sniped. Mouratoglou, who has three children, is separated from his wife. Williams is by far his highest-profile client, and certainly a success story after guiding her through the best stretch of a 17-year career. So what adjustments has Mouratoglou made to Williams’ game? “When you have a player at that level, small changes make big differences,” he said. “Small changes make major differences. They can make someone play from a great level to an unbelievable level. “The better you achieve what you want to achieve, the more confidence you get. The more confidence you get, the more difficult to beat also you get. So little things have many consequences.” Should it matter that homeboy is married with three kids since he’s technically SEPARATED? And do those details even belong in a story that is about her SPORT, not her personal life? Is Serena different mentally because she’s happy and in love and it translates onto the tennis court? Just some questions we had after reading the story. Getty Images
Miranda Kerr is no stranger to letting it all hang out, and her new spread in V Magazine is no exception. Although calling it a “nipple slip” is a stretch. That implies it was accidental. This was not. The 30-year-old Australian model recently flashed her bare breasts during a super sexy photo shoot for the publication, as you can see after the jump. While our headline may make this magazine spread seem racier than it is – it’s far more tasteful than Miley Cyrus Twerking – it is technically true. Kerr, posing as Hungarian-born Italian porn star and politician Cicciolina (real name Ilona Staller), certainly gets into character and pushes the envelope. Check out the (sort of NSFW) shot below: Of course, this isn’t the first Miranda Kerr nipple slip we’ve seen, nor is it the last time we’ve seen her flash her breast for a sexy modeling gig. Not that we’re complaining.
James Francis Edwards, one of three teens charged in the killing of Christopher Lane, posted racist Tweets on his account, according to a new report. One tweet from him reads, “90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM.” Another reads, “Ayeee I knocced out 5 woods since Zimmerman court! :)” The Daily Caller says “woods” is a derogatory term for white people. Christopher Lane Murder Suspects Charged Edwards and Chancey Allen Luna, 16, were charged with first-degree murder as adults Tuesday and are being held without bond in Duncan, Oklahoma. Bond was set at $1 million for 17-year-old Michael Jones, who allegedly drove the vehicle carrying the suspects accused of murdering Chris Lane . Jones is considered a youthful offender but will be tried in adult court along with his cohorts. Jones named Luna as the gunman, police said. The “thrill kill” slaying of Lane shocked the nation due to its random nature – the trio allegedly admitted they did it “for fun” and because they were “bored.” Police Chief Dan Ford said the victim, 22, appeared to have been “targeted” at random after he jogged by a house where the teenagers were. Australian Lane was on a baseball scholarship at East Central University and was in Duncan, Okla., visiting his girlfriend when he was shot and killed. Some bystanders tried to perform CPR on a dying Lane, but he was unconscious and had stopped breathing before an ambulance arrived. Prosecutor Jason Hicks called the boys “thugs” in court as he detailed the senseless murder they allegedly carried out at the end of last week. Edwards has had run-ins with the law previously and had been in court Friday, the day of the killing, to sign documents related to his juvenile probation.
I don’t watch horror movies because I get really bad nightmares that will last for months. So that would explain why I have no clue who Danielle Harris is since she is some kind of scream queen. Anyway, here she is at the Midsummer Lingerie Carnival in a sexy outfit that reveals her huge body tattoo. Unfortunately, I can’t make it out and think I need to have a closer look. Danielle, call me.
