The world was first introduced to Serena Williams when the pre-teen athlete burst onto the scene with her sister Venus donning matching hairstyles and a mouth full of braces. Proving to naysayers that Black girls could have a place in the world of competitive tennis, we’ve seen the younger Williams sister grow before our very eyes—ditching braids and beads and opting for high fashion and flowing weaves. Currently sidelined for a foot injury and previously withstanding surgery for a pulmonary embolism, we can’t wait to see this Williams sister back where she belongs—on the court this fall. Until then, take a look back at the evolution of Serena Williams at HipHopWired.com

Serena Williams is back on the tennis court and has returned with a bang. In a photo she posted on Twitter, the tennis champ dons a full body-length, hot pink unitard that leaves nothing to the imagination. Speaking in third person, she wrote: “Look who I spotted on the court. Her first day back…” Damn. We’ve seen her wear revealing outfits before, but this one may just get her a fine.

*After announcing her line of nail polish with OPI last year on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” tennis star Serena Williams is reportedly set to debut the collection in time for the French Open in May. The line, called Glam Slam! France collection, is comprised of two shades – Spark de Triomphe in glittery silver and Rally Pretty Pink. Each color comes with a Shatter polish which provides a broken or shattered effect as it dries. “Whether I’m on or off the court, style is important,” said Serena. “In addition to watching the runways for the latest trends, I think it’s important to add my own unique elements. “With the new White and Red Shatter, I can customize my nails for a high-fashion take on the classically elegant silver and sunset shades in the Glam Slam! France collection.” Katy Perry and Justin Bieber have also released nail polish collections with OPI.
Serena Williams has been deemed too sexy for television. A few days after a link to the tennis star’s new 2K Sports video game commercial was Tweeted, the company received enough backlash over the spot – which features a scantily-clad Serena taking on a scantily-clad model – to announce it would not air on TV. Banned Serena Williams Ad “As part of the process for creating marketing campaigns to support our titles, we pursue a variety of creative avenues,” 2K Sports wrote in a statement. “This video is not part of the title’s final marketing campaign and its distribution was unauthorized.” But it was clearly meant to hit the airways, as Serena Tweeted last week to be on the lookout for “awesomely sexy video.” And, come on, 2K Sports, billboards of Rafael Nadal shirtless are all over Europe. What do you think? Should the ad have been pulled?
Unlike the rest of us, Charlie Sheen seems to have been oblivious to how his “bi-winning” and “goddess”-f*cking could eventually impact his life in the real world. Until now… Charlie Sheen will tell a Los Angeles judge his internet broadcast in which he threatened to cut children’s throat was a “piece of fiction” — and the hell-raising star is likening his new role to Hollywood’s controversial comic genius and raging boozer Lenny Bruce. “It’s a character in a piece of fiction,” Sheen told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview, when told his estranged wife Brooke Mueller is planning to introduce the two broadcasts into evidence as part of their child custody battle over 23-month-old twin sons Bob and Max. Lawyers for Sheen, 45, and Mueller, 33, are frantically negotiating a possible peace deal, in a desperate bid to to avert a court face-off on Tuesday morning. Mueller does not want Sheen to see their twin boys unsupervised, RadarOnline.com has been told. In a bizarre broadcast from his Sherman Oaks, California, home on Sunday night, Sheen was recorded telling his associate/Tweet master Bob Maron that he wanted to continue his stream-of-consciousness monologues during his new web series Sheen’s Korner, as opposed to the public access show format he broadcast the night before. The actor said: “I’m gonna write my sermons, I’m gonna deliver them like truth torpedoes, and people are gonna f **king take it or leave it, we know they’re gonna take it cause they can’t process it, so they must condemn it, and it they can’t condemn it, they’ll like f **king turn me into a God and worship it, and realize I’m behind them, cutting their throats, and their children’s.” As we previously reported, Mueller’s legal team of Sorrell Trope and Lori Howe will use that webcast to make an argument that the embattled actor is spiraling out of control. Responding to that, Sheen told RadarOnline.com: “OK, well they should use Two and Half Men to say I am a drunk and sleep with wh*res. That’s all I am gonna say. That’s my answer. Bring it. It’s so f*cking stupid, if that’s the best they’ve got. “ Yeah…. we wouldn’t want him around our children either. We hope his other ex-wife Denise Richards is going to lengths to keep him away from his daughters too. Maybe that’ll get him back on this side of crazytown. Source
For the past eight months, Serena Williams has been fighting to get her body back on the right track. She spoke with the Today Show via satellite to give an update on what exactly she has been dealing with and also speaks on her return to tennis: She recalled that on Feb. 18, “I had a lot of swelling in my leg, which really is a tell-tale sign of an embolism, and I could not breathe.” She just thought she “wasn’t fit,” but went to the emergency room. Doctors at first,couldn’t find anything, she said. But then one ordered a CAT scan of her lungs. “That’s when they found several blood clots. They told me they had to check me in immediately or it wasn’t going to be a good result.” A week later, she walked the red carpets at Oscar parties. “I had been through so much. I really was kind of low on energy,” she said, but wanted to “do something to get my spirits up. I wasn’t doing so well mentally. … I was feeling terrible.” So she went out. And wound up in the hospital the next day, Feb. 28, because of a large hematoma in her stomach. A hematoma is a gathering of blood underneath the skin, Lauer explained. “I’m on blood thinner injections. I inject myself twice a day,” she said. “I apparently must have hit something, … so what started out as a golf ball ended up being the size of a grapefruit.” At the hospital she was told it couldn’t be drained; it had to be surgically removed. Did this all stem from her initial foot problem after stepping on glass last year? She said, “Yes, and not moving and doing as much as I normally do and flying back and forth a lot.” What are doctors telling her now? “I’m just taking it one day at a time. My lungs are fairly healthy and I’m on the road to recovering.” She said she’s still hoping to return to tennis this summer. “I want to come back and be able to do well.” A speedy but mostly a healthy recovery is what we wish for Serena Williams.
