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."
So Mariah is in Japan and last night she threw out the first pitch at a major league baseball game in what has got to be the WORST fit ever worn by a non prostitute. Really Mariah, what year are you in baby girl? Stop this ish right now. You notice Nick wasn't even there. Even his ole lap dogged ass can't co-sign on this ish. You know what, perhaps I was a little harsh. From the neck up the fit is just alright. But damn if those dukes don't do you wrong girfriend.
Ultra FLY designer Christian Audigier celebrated his 50th birthday with a huge bash in LA last night. Guests like Britney Spears and Mena Suvari watched performances from SNOOP, FERGIE & MACY GRAY. Yes, that IS a naked feathered chick next to Snoop. For Macy, this look ain't half bad. She usually looks like a homeless chick.
But the surprise of the night came when Christian brought out a secret guest, the gloved on himself, minus the gloves. Yup Mike Jackson was in the house. I see he ditched the burkha/wheelchair antics from this weekends UFC. But for real dude, WHY are your leather pants so baggy? But I guess it IS kinda fly! to be able to say that Mike Jackson was at your birthday party. I've only had Mike Tyson at mine, and that nucca crashed it. SOURCE
