Anna Kournikova’s Backhand Needs Work

As far as Anna Kournikova pictures go, these are pretty terrible. Not only is she covering up all the good parts of her tight little former tennis hottie body, but pictures playing ping pong? Come on. I’m guessing that, like her tennis career, she didn’t win…. Unless she paired up with someone who carried her to victory.

Serena Williams U.S. Open Outburst Prompts Investigation

Serena Williams’ outburst in the women’s championship match was the talk of the U.S. Open Sunday, and the tennis star could dace further consequences yet. Williams was docked a point early in the second set against Samantha Stosur – who won 6-2, 6-3 – after shouting “Come on!!!” as encouragement to herself. That’s typically standard, but because she yelled before the point was over, she was penalized … and then LOST IT at the umpire for evoking the “hindrance rule.” Watch Williams’ U.S. Open outburst here: Serena Williams U.S. Open Outburst “If you ever see me walking down the hall, look the other way because you’re out of control,” Serena said. “You’re a hater and you’re unattractive inside.” It is worth noting that Williams, who infamously lost a match by virtue of a pair of code violations in her 2009 semifinal meltdown , did not use any profanity. Nevertheless, she ranted to the point where a referee will pass along the findings of the investigation to the Tournament Grand Slam Committee. That board will decide what discipline, if any, is appropriate. Fines are all but a given; Worst case is she could be banned from future tournaments. Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal play for the men’s title today at 4 p.m. UPDATE : Officials just fined Serena $2,000 for the outburst, deeming that “Williams’ conduct … does not rise to the level of a major offense.” Evidently not. Her runner-up prize? $1.4 million. So that’s that.

Lindsay Davenport pregnant

Lindsay Davenport, 35, was forced to withdraw from the World Team Tennis Pro League after experiencing complications. “Dr. put me on rest,” she Tweeted earlier this month. “I feel so bad about … having this happen at last minute, but have to listen to my Dr. and do what’s best for baby.” Lindsay Davenport is set to hear the pitter-patter of more little feet around the net: the tennis pro is expecting her third child — a girl — with husband Jonathan Leach. The new addition will join siblings J

Big Brother Recap: Fighting For the Crumbs

Last week’s nominees, Keith and Porsche, were both certain they had the votes and didn’t even try to save themselves from eviction ( the joke was on Keith ). This time around, several newbies were scrambling to cut deals and cover their respective backsides before Jordan’s nominations were even announced. Who did she put up, and who do you think stands the better chance of survival? THG breaks down last night’s live episode in a +/- recap below … Porsche is, like, so said to see Keith go. “NOT!” Minus 7 for that sixth-grader style diss, and for how funny she thought she was while delivering it. Adam and Dominic are both convinced the other turned on Keith, when neither of them did! Plus 5 for Shelley’s turncoat vote that no one expects. Pretty poor display by the new kids overall, though. They had the numbers, then coughed it up, and now kiss up, rather pathetically. Minus 7 . Evel Dick left , but his prediction of picking off these weak ass competitors one by one looks spot on. Plus 3 , because we really miss that guy. Only Dominic seems like he gives a crap about fighting back against the big kids and formulating a plan beyond straight up begging. Even if we’re not sure the Daniele mini-alliance will do the trick, Plus 6 for effort. Hopefully Dom and Daniele continue this “showmance” though. We can actually kind of see it, and the season needs a jolt of excitement. Plus 7 . Adam goes the opposite route and tells Jeff he voted against them in Week One. Honestly is the best policy … everywhere but Big Brother . Minus 5 . Rachel in a Princeton shirt reinforces why you can’t assume people attend the colleges whose apparel they sport. Anyone can buy them. Plus 4 . SHOCKINGLY, Brenchel wins the Have-Have Not competition. They could have likely won this one in their sleep, too. Minus 8 for everyone else. Kalia got HURT? Really? They barely even moved! Minus 5 for that horrific display, and Minus 2 more for the comment about Lawon’s future grandkids being up in there. That doesn’t make any sense … why wouldn’t they just be his kids? Minus 3 more for imagining Rachel “on the bottom.” Ugh . Like Human Centipede 2 , that competition was so gross – as much for the commentary as for the visuals – it could have been banned nationwide. Plus 4 . For some reason, Cassi refuses to even try to hide her disdain for Rachel. Not that we don’t understand the sentiment, but Minus 6 for terrible game play. Plus 8 for Lawon and Kalia’s “game play,” because they are such a mess, it’s working in their favor at this point. J-squared never even mentioned them! No need for these floaters to grab a life vest anytime soon. Jeff and Jordan are smart players, and handling the situation as well as anyone could, but Plus only 4 because the competition makes it so easy for them. Adam and Dominic are nominated for eviction. The kid knows he’s up against it big time but doesn’t seem fazed in the least. Don’t count him out. Plus 3 . The season is feeling a bit dull so far. There’s just something missing. Maybe it’s the scheming. Maybe it’s the hookups under night vision. Maybe it’s the screaming matches. Or all of the above. Step it up, guys! Minus 15 . EPISODE TOTAL: -13. SEASON TOTAL: +12.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians: Ear Wax and Appendectomies

Bruce Jenner did all he could to tune out his annoying family on Keeping Up with the Kardashians last night. He gets countless points for the attempt, but the clan as a whole lost a ton in this +/- review of its weekly, scripted shenanigans… Kim asks Rob, in response to him having not seen Mason in awhile, “doesn’t that hurt your soul?” She then sticks her chest out for a nice shot by the E! cameras. PLUS 7 . Khloe brings Bruce a “harmony comb” to help with his hearing. It’s a paper plate and candle (below) resting on the side of his head. He then complains about Khloe taking a photo and putting it on YouTube. The E! camera man shakes his head and hands out MINUS 13 points for the irony. Keeping Up with the Kardashians Scene “When in doubt, throw it away,” Khloe says in regard to a turkey baster. MINUS 6 to E! producers for not taking the same stance with all copies of this show. Kourtney is afraid Rob is missing her son growing up because they haven’t spent quality time together. PLUS 5 to Rob for understanding he can just watch the process via the Internet instead. Kris tells Bruce she told him to pick up the girls 45 minutes ago, but he didn’t hear her. MINUS 47 points to every viewer who believes this exchange actually took place. PLUS 12 , though, to Kendall and Kylie for selling this imaginary storyline pretty well… until, MINUS 67 , one of them says they could have “been kidnapped.” People actually get kidnapped, you self-serving, greedy morons. Bruce passes his hearing test. He failed his integrity test years ago, so we’ll give him PLUS 6 for finally getting a passing grade here. Rob is sick ! Kris changes out of her fancy shoes and into her tennis shoes to check on the problem! PLUS 3 points to myself for having not broken my television yet. Kris says you “worry a lot” any time your child is “put under.” MINUS 29 because she forgot to include: “unless she is put under Ray J on video because that nets your family millions.” You won’t believe this, but Kourtney brings Scott flowers to close the episode and the pair makes up. PLUS 9 for such originality. The show NEVER concludes this way. EPISODE TOTAL: -129. SEASON TOTAL: -334

Martin Solveig’s ‘Ready 2 Go’ Video Premieres

DJ/producer drops second clip from his album Smash, set to drop this summer. By Adam Stewart Martin Solveig Martin Solveig may very well be one of the greatest athletes in dance music. And if you were one of the more than 22 million people who viewed his music video for “Hello” on YouTube — you know, the one where Solveig comes all the way back from a 6-love, 6-love deficit against fellow Frenchman Bob Sinclar, only to throw the tennis match due to a broken heart — then you know exactly why. And now Solveig has released his latest homage to sports with his video for “Ready 2 Go,” which premiered Friday (April 15). “We are shooting the video and episode for this at Stade de France,” Solveig told MTV News at Miami’s Ultra Music Festival last month. The track features the vocals of Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke, which keeps the overall feel “a bit more on the rock side. It’s quite exciting.” Exciting is a bit of an understatement. Fueled by the massive success of “Hello,” which was filmed live in front of 15,000 fans at the Roland Garros Tennis Stadium, “Ready 2 Go” again ventures toward high drama, with a humorous and ambitious plot that in the real world would likely land Solveig and his cohorts in prison. Cleverly garnished with v
