Serena Williams and her glorious booty

Well, what do you call it? Serena Williams was confused momentarily at a press conference at the Australian Open this week when a reporter asked her what she thought about a TV commentator admiring slow-motion pictures of sister Venus's "posterior": "We say booty. I'm not quite sure about 'posterior'. I'll try to keep that in the back of my mind. 'What are you doing?' 'I'm shaking my posterior'."

I've seen Venus and Serena in action and they definitely both have a booty. All that jelly don't make for no high-falutin' posterior!

Equal pay for women at Wimbledon

The Wimbledon Championships will offer women and men equal prize money for the first time at this year's tournament. Well, it's about bloody time! There may have only been a small difference of 5% between the men and women at Wimbledon, but heck, it's the principle.

Some people have the nerve to criticise the decision though. Not least, the hot German tennis player, Tommy Haas. He says "I don't think it's really fair. I think the depth of men's tennis is much tougher than the women's, plus we play best of five sets. Not to say the women don't deserve it. The top players train very hard and are very good players but in general I don't agree with it."

What Tommy forgets to mention is that the men play best of 3 sets most of the year, just like the women. They only play best of 5 at the Grand Slams and a couple of other big events. Plus, the women have repeatedly offered to play best of 5 set matches too.

I mean, who would you rather watch play a match, Tommy Haas vs David Nalbandian or Serena Williams vs Maria Sharapova? I know which pair i think would provide more drama (and hissy fits!)

Here's a photo of Tommy practising during the 2007 Australian Open. He's cute but look at those veins..
