Serena Williams defeated Maria Sharpova for the fourth time straight on Friday, 7-5, 4-6, 6-1, in the Family Circle Cup quarterfinals. Serena hasn’t lost to Sharpova since 2005. I wonder will this spark a little bit of a rivalry if it hasn’t already. Check out the highlights video up top! Serena feels that this was best match she ever played:
“It was an up-and-down match,” said Williams, trying for her third tour title this year. “I don’t think I played my best. Actually, I played far from my best.”
Ballots for MVP are already in and Kobe Bryant is the winner, but LeBron James agrees that Kobe deserves the award. Lebron recently said:
”I’d give it to Kobe,” Lebron says ”What he’s done this whole year, to carry that team to the No. 1 team in the West right now. He’s playing his best basketball all around. I’ve watched him the whole year. I saw it last summer when I played with him with USA Basketball and the sacrifices he’s made for the team and he’s done that with the Lakers.”
Jay-Z will appear on the remix to Mariah Carey’s second single, “Bye Bye”, from her new album E=MC2. Jermaine Dupri actually confirmed both of these facts, quote unquote:
“The remix for the Mariah record is crazy.” “Young Hov and Mariah crank it up, and myself — a.k.a. Barry Bonds — cleans up.”
BEYONCE’S NEXT ALBUM MIGHT BE HER LAST » Word on the sidewalk, street, highway, bridge, and everything in between, is that Beyonce plans to hang it up after she releases this next album. Now, if you’ve been following Beyonce, you’ll know that over the past decade of her music career, she’s stated several times that she plans on retiring before she turns 30. But she’s also said that she’d be taking a few breaks in between that time, but we all know that didn’t happen.
But her cousin Angelica Knowles (not to be confused with her coustin/stylist Angela Beyince) has spilled the beans to the media. According to Angelica, Beyonce plans to spend her days scouting talent for Jay-Z’s upcoming label, The Carter Music Group. She’ll also see that as the perfect time to make some babies and cause 9 months of ruckus online. Y’all know how it is when it comes to Jayonce!
I just don’t see Beyonce retiring any time soon. Sure she’s had several albums with Destiny’s Child, but she’s only done 2 albums so far, and 1 is currently in the making. I don’t see her calling it quits with just 3 solo albums under her belt. Besides, she loves what she does way too much!
We’ll definitely keep you updated on this rumor!CONTINUE READING

When Foxy Brown was released from prison in Rikers Island earlier today (Apr. 18th), some tears were shed and some words were shared. The rapper was met outside of the prison by members of the press and some of her family, including her mother, whom she thanked repeatedly in the video above sent over by Danica from SOHH.
Homegirl might be boo-hooing and thanking God now, but I’m still not convinced that she’s learned her lesson. She’ll be back…
Damn I really wish I could hit this tour up, but times are hard with gas being damn near $4/gallon and all. It’s too late to get good seats now, anyway. I guess I’ll have to settle for the photos and youtube videos. ((Sigh))
The hip-hop star may or may not have been thinking about Richard Wagner’s epic Ring cycle when he decided to turn his Glow in the Dark tour into an apocalyptic space opera. The show, which premiered Wednesday at this city’s Key Arena, had more obvious reference points: Japanese anime, Will Smith in “I Am Legend” and any Imax shows about the planets that West might have seen as a kid.
But West, the chart-topper most determined to burn his likeness into the walls of pop’s Valhalla, cares deeply about what it means to be a hero. Wednesday, he didn’t take a spear to the gut the way Wagner’s Siegfried did, but he did confront terror, doubt and filial grief in a show that carried his braggadocio into the realm of myth itself.
Performing a set of favorites from throughout his repertoire, West moved like a dancer in a Gene Kelly movie on a slanted stage made to look like a distant moon.
Houston Astros’ Miguel Tejada lied to the MLB (Major League Baseball) about his real age. Records show that he signed out of the Dominican Republic when he was 17 but he was really 19. In the video above he states that he’s 32, that’s not even his recorded birth age, but he’s actually 33. In the “E:60″ interview airing on April 22th, Tejada states: CONTINUE READING

Tiger Woods was hospitalized two days after becoming 2nd place at The Masters tournament. He was put in the hospital to undergo knee surgery. This is supposedly the second surgery on his same left knee in five years! It should take him about a month to recover. He held off the surgery until after the Masters, he responded with this quote:
“I made the decision to deal with the pain and schedule the surgery for after the Masters. The upside is that I have been through this process before and know how to handle it. I look forward to working through the rehabilitation process and getting back to action as quickly as I can.”
Tiger might miss out on the Players’ Championship, but he should return in time enough to prepare for the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines on June 12th.

(Photo: Getty Images) NFL Star and Balitmore Ravens’ quarterback, Steve McNair, is calling it quits after 13 long seasons. McNair intended to finish the 3 year contract with the Ravens but he proposed that he wasn’t physically fit for the position:
“Coming out and making this decision, it was hard, in your mind, you feel like you can play, that you can still compete. But when your mind and your body are not in accord, it’s not going to work in the National Football League.”
“My mind was there. Mentally, I could go out and play. But physically, I couldn’t do it anymore. Not to the capacity that I need to help my teammates win a football game.”
He received a standing ovation from his fellow teammates and they respectively accepted his decision. Steve McNair won a NFL MVP Award and led the Tennessee Titans to a Super Bowl. Happy Retirement Steve.
