It’s make or break time for Emily Thorne on Revenge, which returns for an explosive third season Sunday, September 29, and is teased by a new ABC promo. This preview makes it abundantly clear that after an uneven second season, “friends will turn,” “enemies will fall” and “new threats will rise.” All awesome! What does it mean specifically? Aiden teams up with Victoria (?!) and Jack issues a threat to Emily, who plans the “Wedding of the Century” with Daniel. The reasons, schemes and ulterior motives are unclear, of course, as are the circumstances that lead to one main character – spoiler alert – being shot.

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!!!!!
Snooki says her dramatic weight loss was not the result of any unnatural products or practices, and that she’s a lot healthier since she’s shed 50 pounds. Yes, 50. “People are jerks,” the 25-year-old says. “I don’t look emaciated. I look healthy! My arms still jiggle when I wave! I’m 4-foot-9, which is the size of a third-grader.” “Weighing 96 pounds is normal for me!” Snooki, who admitted weighing in at 146 pounds during her early Jersey Shore days, credits her slimmed-down figure to intense workouts at the gym. A few months back, Snooki proudly posted a photo in which she flexed her growing bicep muscles after some folks claimed she was becoming “too skinny.” “‘Too skinny’ my ass. #FIT,” she wrote. Snooki denied that her new look is due to anything unorthodox or inadvisable such as starvation and laxative binges , both of which have been rumored. In any case, the reality star is not likely to pack on any more weight anytime soon as a member of the Season 17 Dancing With the Stars cast . Good luck out there, Snook.
