We're told Serena hit the studio last week to lay down a few tracks ... and is working with a record label owned by Minnesota Vikings star Bryant McKinnie.
During the session, we're told Serena did some work with renowned hip-hip producer DJ Clue ... and she wasn't half-bad.
Well.........it can't be any worse than her trying to channel Madonna while singing Karaoke with her pals last month, right? Right!?!
Slowly but surely, videos and pictures are leaking out from the Monte Carlo players party where the guys get to let their hair down, dress in drag, and poke fun at other players. In this video, Janko Tipsarevic takes a digg at his bestie Novak Djokovic and his team. I think he did pretty good, no? Enjoy!
Really, the title should be, "Oh No She Didn't" because last night Caroline Wozniacki was invited to the exclusive, hush hush men's players party in Monte-Carlo where the boys like to have fun, (meaning dress up in drag) and what is the first thing she does when she gets there? She breaks man-code and takes a picture of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga expressing his inner diva. Shame on you girl! But really (whispers) ......thanks for the pic, you deserve the Zorro Snap in Z formation. (minute 3:06)
I'm not sure what exactly happened here, but in the semi-finals of the Movistar Open, words were apparantly exchanged over the net between Fabio Fognini and Tommy Robredo. After Robredo defeated Fognini, he refused to shake his hand, and then Fognini called Robredo a "piece of shit." The crowd was clearly in Fognini's corner as they booed Robredo off the court. The best part.....they meet at the Brazil Open next week in the first round. Drama.
Jelena Jankovic recently and unknowingly ended up on an advertisement for a Swiss Sperm bank. The caption reads "Make a donation here." (I hope I don't need to explain how the picture and the caption relate.)
Apparently the sperm bank didn't even know it was Jelena and have since taken the adverts down. No word on whether she gets free turkey basters for life.
Things got a little heated on showcourt 2 today in a doubles match between my beloved Feliciano Lopez/Juan Monaco and the duo Leander Paes/Mahesh Bhupathi.
I was watching the match and then switched my livestream right as all of this happened (figures). When I tuned back in, Pico was trying to have a "friendly" talk with Paes at the changeover that had to be broken up by the umpire (not so friendly). ESPN2 replayed part of the incident, and at one point, it looked like Pico took a headshot at Paes during a point.
On Twitter, (the MOST reputable source) I heard multiple reports that the word "puta" was used by Feli (Google it,) and that Paes kept yelling Vamos! in their direction whenever they (Bhupathi/Paes) would win a point, and for the record, I'm pretty sure that his first language is NOT Espanol. I also heard from a birdie that Feli said Paes was "loco" and "sick in the head."
In the post-match presser Deliciano did the talking, trying to downplay the situation and Pico sat next to him fuming, and it was all kinda hot.
In the end, all I really care about is that Pico and Feli are out of the Aussie Open for good, losing to the number 3 seeds. All the sexy was just drained from the tournament.......
Now back to tennis.

I just found video from the incident:
It looks like Pico is trying not to giggle, so I guess he wasn't "fuming" but it was still hot. :)
Also, transcripts from the players pressers are here (Bhupathi/Paes) and here (Lopez/Monaco).
