STOP THE CRADLE: HOW ON EARTH DO YOU EMBARRASS BOBBY BROWN?

BALLERZ & SHOT CALLERZ

Reprising their Sister Slam Show in the Wimbledon final after a five-year hiatus, Venus and Serena smacked big serves, hit hard strokes from all angles and chased down seemingly unreachable balls, like no one else does. Overcoming an early deficit, Venus beat Serena 7-5, 6-4 Saturday for her second consecutive title at the All England Club and seventh major championship overall. "I'm definitely more in tune with my sister's feelings because one of us has to win and one of us has to lose," the No. 7-seeded Venus said. "You could never detract from winning a Wimbledon, so of course it doesn't detract from that. But I'm definitely thinking about how my sister's feeling." No. 6 Serena, meanwhile, was sullen as could be afterward, as though she had just finished losing to a stranger. Which, it turns out, was the way she tried to view Venus. That the champion's trophy stayed in the family did not ease the pain of defeat."It's definitely not any easier," Serena said. "I just look at her as another opponent at the end of the day." Said their mother and coach, Oracene Price: "Well, you know, she's going to have to learn how to suck things up. Say, 'OK, I'm not going to win everything.'"

DO YOU USE YOUR 'GIFT OF FEAR?'

(Oprah.com) -- If you heard there was a weapon proven to prevent most crimes before they happen, would you run out and buy it? World-renowned security expert Gavin de Becker says this weapon exists, but you already have it. He calls it "the gift of fear." One chapter in Gavin's book "The Gift of Fear" has stuck with Oprah since she first read it. The story of a woman named Kelly begins with a simple warning sign. A man offers to help carry her groceries into her apartment -- and instantly, Kelly doesn't like the sound of his voice. Kelly goes against her gut and lets him help her -- and in doing so, she lets a rapist into her home. "We get a signal prior to violence," Gavin says. "There are preincident indicators. Things that happen before violence occurs." Gavin says that unlike any other living creature, humans will sense danger yet still walk right into it. Gavin says that "eerie feeling" is exactly what he wants women to pay attention to. "We're trying to analyze the warning signs," he says. "And what I really want to teach today and forever is the feeling is the warning sign. All the other stuff is our explanation for the feeling. Why it was this, why it was that. The feeling itself is the warning sign."

STOP THE CRADLE: HOW ON EARTH DO YOU EMBARRASS BOBBY BROWN?

Posted by THE fly GIRL at 10:34 AM

So if you were unlucky enough to miss last nights episode of MTV'S answer to American Idol, then you missed a real treat...And by treat I mean a complete and total embarrassment to two great songs of my youth.

Perhaps you didn't know that Al B. Sure! (the unibrowed lover - yest I said unibrowed, ANGEL) even had a son. But you DID know that her had a number one hit "Night & Day," the heartfelt ode to the lady in his life.

And then there's Bobby...Oh Bobby. The former bad-boy of R&B is quickly approaching Mike Jackson status - Every time you see or hear further example of his craziness, you simply shake your head and say, "Oh Bobby," because you know that given the right circumstance, some of his biggest hits could still pull you to the dance floor. And he too had a MEGAHIT in his "My Prerogative." But much like Sure! (You have to use the exclamation), he also has a son, Landon.

And Lil B. Sure! and Landon Brown, despite their dismal voices, did the unthinkable last night: They "performed" and by perform I mean butchered/dishonored/embarrassed their father's biggest hits.

I mean this ish was so bad that dead beat dads everywhere were pointing tot he screen exclaiming, "Look, this is why I don't F**k with Jr."

So if you haven't seen it yet, please take a look. Then have some Gatorade (cause you'll be in need of electrolytes) and then watch the REAL things below.

Listen, if I had to suffer through it, you do too dammit!
