Chris Evert's Kids Mesh Well with Greg Norman's

Chris Evert, known for winning 18 Grand Slams in tennis and being the number 1 women's tennis player for 7 years in a row, has been married to pro golfer Greg "The Shark" Norman for two months now. And their families are getting along great. Evert has three sons with former Olympic skier Andy Mill: Alex, 16, Nicky, 14, and Colton, 12. Norman's kids, Morgan and Gregory, are older so they don't live with The Shark.

Evert says that the families "all mesh pretty well." Her sons get along great with Norman.

At a press conference to announce Evert's new tennis center at a Dominican Republic resort, the couple looked like teenage sweethearts, walking into the press room holding hands. Norman jokingly asked a question during the conference, "So, how is your marriage working out?"

Evert answered, "It's gonna be great forever." Aw, isn't that sweet? I had such a crush on Chris Evert-Lloyd as a kid. She's still a hottie that I wouldn't mind sharing a Grand Slam with. What? I meant the Denny's breakfast. Pervs.

Serena Williams Not Pregnant, Kicks Ashley Harkleroad's Ass

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 27 May 2008 14:05:00 GMT

Well, it turns out Serena Williams wasn't pregnant as I reported last year (okay, so I shouldn't have listened to my mom's neighbor's hairdresser.) But she did kick ass at the French Open, beating fellow American Ashley Harkleroad on Sunday, the first day of the tournament.

Harkleroad isn't hanging around licking her wounds, though - she's preparing for her debut in the August issue of Playboy. When Serena heard about Bible-studying Ashley's upcoming spread (no pun intended) she joked, "I'm surprised she beat me to it."

By the way, Ashley Harkleroad definitely is not pregnant. You heard it here first.

Common and Serena Williams at Villa

Karen — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 16:05:00 GMT

Hip Hop artist Common was spotted leaving Villa last night and as paparazzi were trying to get photos and autographs, the police came and broke it up, telling photogs to get out of the street.

Just as Common was about to pull away, Serena Williams was spotted in the front seat! Video here at TMZ.

Common is father to 10 year old Omoye Assata Lynn (named after exiled political prisoner and former Black Panther Party member, Assata Shakur - a woman whose life story also inspired Common to write the song "A Song For Assata" from his album Like Water for Chocolate).

Serena Williams' Rep Denies Pregnancy, I'll Start Knitting Booties

Serena Williams' rep, addressing the pregnancy rumors that started after the tennis champ's loss at last month's U.S. Open issued the following statement to OK! Magazine: “Serena's not pregnant.”

Which of course means Williams is at least three months along and will be seen from here on out wearing loose-fitting sundresses and holding large purses over her abdominal region.

Remember, I was right the last time.

Game, Set, Match - Serena Williams is Pregnant

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 21:05:00 GMT

Serena Williams may have just been knocked out of the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open, but apparently she has something else going on in center court. MediaTakeOut is reporting that the tennis star is expecting her first child with her longtime boyfriend, actor Jackie Long. Word is that Long has already announced to friends and family that he hit one into the net, so to speak.

The talk around the U.S. Open is that Serena's dad, Richard has been telling everyone that his daughter is pregnant. And if only I could come up with another tennis metaphor I'd have a witty ending to this piece.
