Serena Williams won her first title in two years when she defeated No. 1 ranked player in women’s tennis, Maria Sharapova 6-1, 6-2 to win the Australian Open today.

Sharapova was run down by the Williams’ power and aggression, punctuated by fist pumps and glares.

Serena told Yahoo News that she was inspired by the memory of her sister, Yetunde Price, who was killed in 2003.

Usually I write, Look at the ball, move forward, do this, do that. Today I just had one word. My note was just Yetunde. Every changeover I looked at it and I just thought about how happy she would have been … about what an amazing sister she was to me. I just said, ‘Serena, this has to be more than enough to motivate me.’ And I think it was.

Williams entered the Australian Open ranked No. 81 in the world. But as she exits the tournament her projected ranking is 14, which is a phenomenal achievement.

We barely post men in the “Who Rock’d It Better” posts, but here is one for yall. Ludacris and Chris Brown both wore the same Billionaire Boys Club “Cigarettes and Pagers” hoodie at recent events. There’s really not much difference other than color choice.

Chris was at the MTV VMA Forum on August 30th 2006, and Ludacris was at the BET Hip Hop Awards on November 12th 2006.

Hip hop mogul Russell Simmons’ estranged wife was at the center of a “fight” during Alicia Keys’ 27th birthday party in New York on Wednesday (January 24th) night, according to reports.

Soon after guests including Missy Elliott, Clive Davis and Common had sung Happy Birthday to Keys, Kimora Lee Simmons reportedly began yelling at an unknown woman, shrieking,

“Get out of my face, bitch!”

A source tells the New York Daily News, “Kimora said that the woman had thrown a drink at her. She didn’t look wet to me. But security grabbed the girl and ushered her out. When Kimora was leaving, Alicia totally ignored her.”

Simmons’ representative described her client’s alleged combatant as “a disrespectful fan” who “accosted” Simmons.

BLIND ITEM OF THE DAY: RAPPER’S MID-LIFE CRISIS

Friday, January 26, 2007 |

This man is affiliated with the hip-hop industry. He’s old by rap standards but young by society standards. He seems to be going through a mid-life crisis. He’s partying like a frat boy and he’s taking ecstasy and Viagra on a regular basis. Few people know that he fathered three children in 2006 with different women. He has a ‘main girlfriend,’ but he’s also had outside women in virtually every area code. He’s also been in love a few times. He loved one of these women real hard. Sadly, when one of his friends stopped by to visit him at the studio, you could hear him in the back, beating the hell out of her. She broke up with him the next day. He never left marks on her face but she received beatings on other areas of her body. He beats his women on the low and never leaves visible marks, the public is still not aware of his domestic violence issues. This man is currently cheating on his girlfriend with two women. One resides in the dirty south and the other resides overseas.

NOTE: All blind items are written by Myra Panache or her staff. No, I do not know what the answer is, after all it is called a Blind Item. Please contact Myra if you have any questions. Thank you.
