Serena Williams Defeats Older Sister Venus Williams



If there ever was a such thing as bitter sweet victory Serena Williams beating her older sister Venus Williams at yesterdays US Open quarter-finals has to be ONE.



Both women deserve to be championed. Far beyond worthy of their successes.

“She’s the toughest opponent I’ve ever played in my life and the best person I know. It’s going against your best friend and at the same time going against the greatest competitior in women’s tennis.” - Serena Williams

The match was very close with Serena winning by one point.



Now at number 1, Willaims will move on to the semi-finals on Thursday in New York. With the hopes of being the first woman in history since Steffi Graf in 1988 to win all four majors in a single year.

I am so proud to write this post. Serena AND Venus are a breath of fresh air when it comes to positive images of women in the media.



And speaking of positive images, Oprah and Gayle King were on hand to witness history as well as Donald Trump, Nas, and Kim Kardashian just to name a few.

I stumbled across this random photo of the late great rapper Tupac Shakur and Angela Bassett on Pinterest and just had to find out where it was from. It turns out this photo was taken at the premiere of Poetic Justice which starred Shakur and Janet Jackson but   there is no word on who the child in the photo is. And speaking of Angela Bassett... Angela Bassett pictured at the Indie Spirit Awards March 1 (AP Images/Invision) You better werk, Ms. Bassett...55 looks go on you and your bootayyyyyyy !!

VIDEO: Nas Performing "Daughters" + Album Release Party Pics

 Nas stopped by the Late Show With David Letterman last night to perform his new single "Daughters". I love the fact that Nas performed last night in and attended his album release party last night for his new album Life Is Good in the same outfit. None of that Hollywood fake shit here. The evening looked like nothing but fun with friends in attendance such as Chef Roble, Busta Rhymes and even a cheerful Jay Z all came out to support Nas on the release of his new album which hit stores today. Have a looksee!!

Awkward Spottings...

Image
Yesterday a few photos came out yesterday that were beyond the look and smile category. You had to look at them then ponder on them due to the subjects. Like..... Kobe and Vanessa Bryant were seen in Mykonos vacationing with their daughters. Let me first say the Bryant girls are adorable and follow that up with...anyone want any flapjacks? Kobe, go ahead and get Vanessa that mommy makeover...she may love you gain for it. Jaden Smith was spotted with a young beauty and she's not a Kardashian. She's cute...very cute. But ummmmmmmmm Jaden what you got on? Last but definitely not least, Earvin Johnson III and Lisa Raye were spotted dinning at the heavily pap populated Mr. Chow. Not only is this a rare pairing but why is EJ channeling NeNe Leakes ? From the outfit to the location this is all NeNe's steelo. Was I being polite by saying "awkward"?
