RANDOMS: THE CANNONS/CHRIS/TYLER/TERRENCE

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."

RANDOMS: THE CANNONS/CHRIS/TYLER/TERRENCE

Posted by THE fly GIRL at 9:38 AM

I see we've gone with a different ring huh...

NICK CANNON & MARIAH CAREY-CANNON made their first appearance last night as a couple, a MARRIED couple at Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People Gala in NYC.

Many say the couple were "Glowing and behaved like newlyweds." Also in attendance were LA Reid, Gayle King and the CEO of Time Warner Dick Parsons (which if you EVER get a chance to meet him, please take a moment to chat. He is FASCINATING). And don't hit the brotha up for money.

Mariah also marked this ocassion, by taking her ass back to work...Oh yeah, she IS a singer with a brand spanking new album out.

Which leads me to my next question. Mariah - look I love you. congrats on the wedding. If you like, I love whateva. But sweetheart, can we talk about your look. I mean ERRYTHING I've seen this chick in since the beginning of her recent media storm has SCREAMED 1996. It's like this is all the ish she WANTED to wear to promote Glitter but never got the chance. Please please please, for the love of Nick Cannon, FIRE YOUR STYLIST.

Now, back to the business at hand. TYLER PERRY & KEENEN THOMPSON were also there looking suspect.

And Chris & Maalak Compton-Rock were also in attendance. I really hope her real dress was under that trench.

And Herbie Hankcock "rocked" the house. Does Jimmy Jam know you borrowed his piotar?

Oh and that OTHER dude running for president, Senator John McCain, was there. They just let ANYBODY in that piece huh?

TERRENCE HOWARD and his "Cat On a Hot Tin Roof" co-stars, Anika Noni Rose and Phylicia Rashad were all honored yesterday with caricatures at the legendary Sardi's in NYC.
