Sister Sledge(hammer)
With all of the attention given to Sarah Palin's speech and the season premiere of ANTM last night, we almost forgot about that little tennis competition called the U.S. Open. Hurricane Sarah? Pshaw. More like Hurricane Serena. Last night, the younger Williams sister beat older sibling Venus in a grueling quarterfinal match that involved two-tie breakers. Serena said she was surprised that she won... maybe she was still smarting over her loss to Venus at Wimbledon in July? [NY Times]

Love Means Zero
Guess what? Women's Wimbeldon scheduling sucks. The chief of the Women's Tennis Association, Larry Scott, says he is "disappointed and concerned" with the scheduling of women's matches and plans to discuss it with organizers. Serena Williams, Jelena Jankovic and defending champion Venus Williams were all pushed off the two main show courts for their fourth-round matches. Jankovic had to play in Court 18, which she described as "almost in the parking lot." Roger Federer , Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray have played all of their matches on the main courts. Serena, who played on Court 2, says, "Initially I thought, OK, is this the right schedule? I thought maybe there was a mistake." She is an eight-time grand slam winner, after all. According to ESPN, "the last time Federer was off the two main show courts at Wimbledon was the 2003 quarterfinals against Dutchman Sjeng Schalken β and that was before Federer had won his first title." By the by: Both Venus and Serena won in the semifinals, so they'll face each other in a sister showcase showdown for the Wimbeldon crown! [ESPN, ESPN, Guardian]

Williams Sisters Closer To Wimbledon Finals β’ Ignored Woman Dies On ER Floor In Brooklyn Hospital
The Williams sisters could both qualify for the Wimbledon final as they both reached the semifinals. β’ Missouri, the home of Megan Meier, has outlawed harassment via computers, text messages and other electronic devices. β’ A woman collapsed and was ignored by patients, doctors, and security guards as she died on the floor of an emergency room in Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn. Absolutely disgusting behavior from these people. β’"Divorce experts" report that a rocky marriage could have something to do with birth order/ believing ridiculous claims about divorce. β’ Protests of a teen girl's death in China have forced police to reopen the case and highlight the growing distrust of local officials by Chinese citizens.

It's A Bird! It's A Plane! No, It's Anna Wintour's Dress
The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute's annual gala: Oh, it happened all right.
