President Obama Shares NCAA Toruney Bracket & Shows Love to ACC

2017-03-15T23:56:00.002-07:00

By Curtis Morton
President Trump is probably not releasing his latest tax returns anytime soon, and he also declined to release an NCAA tournament bracket this year. Thankfully, President Obama is continuing his tradition of filling out a bracket for the field of 68, and he is putting his faith in the ACC this year.

Here is President Obama’s long form bracket:

In the title game, Obama has Duke versus North Carolina with UNC winning an all ACC showdown. Judging from his past experience with picking brackets, it’s safe to say that North Carolina will not be winning the title this year, because 44 has never picked the champion in any of his past brackets.

However, President Obama appears to be the expert at picking early round upsets, so you may want to follow his lead and put down some “pay your rent” prop bets this week on the 12-5 match up.

Redskins Lyndon Antonio Trail Asks Why Black Athletes Marry White Women Catfishing NFL Player Explains How Black Women Aren’t “Coachable”

2017-03-15T23:45:00.000-07:00

By Robert Littal
Simple rule.

Date whoever you want, but don’t downgrade your race, because no matter what you say, your mom, grandmother, aunts, cousins and etc are all black women, so if you talking down to black women you are talking down to your blood.

Redskins Lyndon Antonio Trail on his personal Facebook page asked the question why do so many black athletes date white women.

The post has been deleted, but there was a lot of reactions including on from a guy who says he plays for the Dolphins who goes by Maserati Rick.

The problem is no one from the Dolphins that I have asked knows who he is, so either he is a practice squad guy or he is just catfishing and doesn’t play in the league at all.

If he is in the league or played in the league it was at the lowest of levels. He deleted his Instagram account before I can ask him which one it was.

Whatever the case he replied to Antonio Trail’s post by saying black women are uncoachable and aren’t submissive enough for his liking. It is a horrible, sexiest, stupid thing to say and frankly makes all black men look bad, so hopefully black women won’t hold it against us all.

Flip the pages to see the vile things he had to say…

Emily Ratajkowski Literally Stops Traffic Walking Her Dog in Just Underwear

"Good morning New York," Emily Ratajkowski says, smiling to the camera while walking her dog in a black lacy bra and briefs set.

DKNY released its newest campaign video on Monday, featuring EmRata in nothing but her knickers, her adorable pup, and the delivery guy, repairman, neighbor, and taxi driver who all stop for a double take at the half-naked girl casually strolling along with her dog on a leash.

The video advertises the brand's spring/summer intimate campaign, titled #GoodMorningDKNY. The lingerie pieces are priced at $12 to $62, and available today at DKNY, Nordstrom, Lord + Taylor and Macy's, both in stores and online, as well as select international retailers.

"I have never been one to shy away from expressing my individuality," said the model in a press release. "DKNY has always been about supporting strong, self-assured women and that is a message very important to me," she added. "I've always been a fan of the brand and this intimates campaign and film are a natural fit."

Fashion’s latest trend, red tracksuit pants, is a bogan staple worn by Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner

2017-03-14T02:06:00.000-07:00

SHOPPERS are seeing red ... literally.

A year ago many would’t be caught dead wearing a pair of bright red tracksuit pants. Now, it’s fashion’s hottest new look.

Demand for scarlet-coloured trackies has risen dramatically in Australia, following a trend worn by supermodels Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid, and Kendall Jenner.

Sales of tracksuit pants have risen by 200 per cent on shopping site The Iconic in the past 12 months, while popular e-retailers Stylerunner and ASOS have also recorded a spike in demand for the sporty staple.

A spokeswoman for theiconic.com.au said demand for tracksuit bottoms had more than doubled compared to a year ago — and red is a key trend.

Top-selling styles on the Australian shopping site included adidas’s signature three-stripe pants and Sydney label P.E. Nation’s baggy satin trackies.

ASOS Australia spokeswoman Susannah Tucker said the UK-based site had noticed a similar trend — specifically, rising demand for red bottoms.

“Red is back really for the first time since the prime Baywatch and Valentino years of the late 80s to mid-90s,” Tucker told News Corp Australia.

“We have seen an increase in searches and conversion on our most popular styles of red track pants, including our straight leg, side stripe and snap-button.

“And these are really bold, primary shades of red we’re seeing make such a comeback — cherry, cardinal, sports car red.

“When that shade is being delivered via a tracksuit it’s almost like wearing your team’s colours.”

Key brands for ASOS also included adidas, as well as Fila and British label Ellesse.

Tucker said the trend had made the high street after featuring in runway shows by high-end designers Stella McCartney, Versace, Margiela, Alexander Wang and Gucci.

“They’ve been taking cues from increasingly popular streetwear-leaning labels like Vetements and Off-White that are pulling in a younger audience keen on mixing their luxury with leisurewear and sportswear,” Tucker said.

Stylerunner chief executive Julie Stevanja said she had also noticed a surge in trackies sales on stylerunner.com.

“We’ve definitely seen an uplift in sales off the back of the heritage sportswear trend,” Stevanja said.

“Everything 90s is having a revival, from trackies to iconic 90s sneakers like the adidas Gazelles ... originally a Kate Moss favourite.”

Adidas Gazelles are, of course, the perfect shoe to team with a pair of red trackies.

Tyra Banks Named as New Host of ‘America’s Got Talent’

2017-03-13T06:41:00.001-07:00

By Hannah Hargrave
Tyra Banks has been named as the new host on the NBC show, and she’ll be replacing Nick Cannon on season 12.

Stars Who Were Fired From Jobs
AGT judge Howie Mandel made the announcement on Sunday, March 12, when he took to social media to spread the news.

Celebrities Who Have Look-Alikes!
“America, strike a pose,” he wrote on Twitter. “#AGT has a brand new host! Welcome to the fam, @tyrabanks!”

Banks confirmed the news too.

“Surprise!” she tweeted. “TyTy is the new host of AGT. Can’t wait 2work w/new fam @OfficialMel B @howiemandel @heidiklum & @SimonCowell.”

Banks, 43, will replace Cannon, who controversially resigned last month. In a Facebook post he claimed he was quitting because he’d been threatened with termination after making racial jokes on his Showtime special Nick Cannon: Stand Up, Don’t Shoot.

Just Like Us: Celebrity Moms
"I find myself in a dark place having to make a decision that I wish I didn't have to, but as a man, an artist and a voice for my community, I will not be silenced, controlled, or treated like a piece of property," Cannon wrote.

"Not to get too detailed but this isn't the first time executives have attempted to 'put me in my place' for so called unruly actions. I will not stand for it. My moral principles will easily walk away from the millions of dollars they hang over my head."

Zac Posen Explains Why He Won’t Dress Melania and Ivanka Trump

2017-03-13T06:20:00.002-07:00

A bold fashion statement. Zac Posen explained in a new interview with The Daily Beast that he chooses not to dress Melania and Ivanka Trump because he is aware of his “political responsibility” as a designer.

“I think everybody has a political responsibility,” the 36-year-old designer said in the interview posted on Thursday, March 9. “Everybody has a voice, whether in fashion or any field.”

Stars' Political Affiliations

The Project Runway judge, who has dressed both women in the past, told the site that his decision stems largely in part from the policies of the current administration, many which he does not agree with.

“[I have] no current plans to dress members of the first family,” he said. “Right now, I’m staying away from bringing my brand into politics. There are issues that are being questioned that are fundamentally upsetting to me, deeply: LGBT rights, immigration, funding for the arts, Planned Parenthood, and women’s rights. These are just issues that are very close to my heart, and I use my own private voice and funds to fight for them and in support of them. I think it’s important to use your voice. I think that every brand and person has a right to be vocal.”

Other big-name designers who have similarly declined to dress members of the Trump family in protest against President Donald Trump’s controversial policies include Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford, Sophie Theallet and Phillip Lim.

One outspoken fashion icon, Karl Lagerfeld, made headlines last month for criticizing the mixing of fashion and politics in today’s social climate.

“I knew Trump before, when he was not in politics,” the 83-year-old German designer told the WSJ Magazine. “I’m not American, but he’s a democratically elected president of America, so people have to deal with it.” Added the Chanel designer, “Fashion people are fashion, they are not politics.”

Ivanka Trump’s less-than-stylish shoes are actually saving her much-criticised fashion business

2017-03-12T23:31:00.001-07:00

Ivanka Trump arrives to Trump address in nearly $4,000 dress
By Nadia Salemme, News Corp Australia Network

HER controversial clothing line was famously dropped by some American retailers. Now, Ivanka Trump’s seriously ugly shoes could actually be saving her business.
The First Daughter’s self-titled clothing, footwear and accessories line has been a PR disaster for the Trump “brand” since her father became President.

But sales — specifically, of her high heels — have increased over the past month, says a US-based retail site.

Ivanka has been a walking ad for her own shoe range, wearing a pair of US$78 strappy sandals to the Governors Ball last month.

Did you design those power heels, Ivanka? Picture: AFPSource:AFP
Sales of Ivanka’s fashion line are up overall according to online retailer Lyst, with her less than stylish high heels the No. 1 selling items, followed by dresses, in February, The Washington Post reported.

THE PROBLEM WITH IVANKA’S LABEL
IVANKA SLAMMED FOR WEARING $4000 DRESS

But Ivanka’s shoe range is definitely not for the fashion forward.

Styles include a pair of black round-toed strappy block heels with gold detailing, hot pink suede-look heels with multiple bows, and a studded pair of cream heels with a thick strap around the top of the foot — along with more silver studs.

Ivanka Trump, pictured with husband Jared Kushner, was criticised for wearing this AU$4000 dress by Roland Mouret to her father’s State of the Union speech. Picture: AFPSource:AFP

There are also a pair of heels made completely of cork and others covered in a resort-style floral print.

Though Ivanka has managed some borderline tasteful designs, including pointy-toed block heels (the “Katie”) in pink suede and other suede heels — dubbed the Evia — in ”natural”, “maple” and “dark navy”.

IVANKA V MELANIA: STYLE CLASH

Ivanka’s brand recorded a dramatic sales spike on February 9 — the same day top White House adviser Kellyanne Conway was accused of violating ethics rules by promoting the line during a TV interview last month, The Washington Post said.

“I’m going to give a free commercial here. Go buy it today, everybody,” Conway told Fox & Friends.

Heels are the best-selling category from Ivanka Trump’s fashion line. Picture: AFPSource:AFP

And apparently, it worked.

E-commerce site Lyst says sales of Ivanka’s line increased by 219 per cent compared to the previous day, catapulting her brand to the eleventh most popular on Lyst, The Washington Post reports (Ivanka’s brand was previously No. 550).

The president of Ivanka’s fashion line, Abigail Klem, confirmed to the Post that “the beginning of February” was “the best performing weeks in the history of the brand”.

“For several different retailers, Ivanka Trump was a top performer online, and in some of the categories it was the best performance ever,” Klem said.

Ivanka Trump is rarely seen without a power stiletto. Picture: AFPSource:AFP
That is despite major American retailers including Nordstrom, Sears, ShopStyle.com, Gilt, Belk and shoes.com dropping her label in an apparent protest against her father’s political policies.

Neiman Marcus also axed it but appears to have changed its mind, with Ivanka’s jewellery line again being sold on its website.

Two cocktail rings — priced at US$4360 and US$5400 — are currently being stocked by the department store.

Ivanka Trump’s fashion line has previousy been labelled ‘daggy’, ‘basic’ and ripped off from high-end designers, according to fashion followers. Picture: Getty ImagesSource:Getty Images
Ivanka’s label has caused a string of headaches for brand Trump.

This month, she raised eyebrows in Washington wearing an off-the-shoulder dress that cost nearly $4000 to her father’s first speech in Congress.

Ivanka definitely did not wear her own line ... instead, she sported a burgundy frock by French designer Roland Mouret to the State of the Union address.

She did not win any fans for her fashion sense — again — with social media branding the outfit “inappropriate”, “awkward” and more fitting for cocktails than Congress.

Ivanka has also been criticised for contradicting the “buy American” message by manufacturing her label’s clothes offshore (in China and Bangladesh), and regularly wearing foreign designers including Oscar de la Renta and Altuzarra during official engagements.

She was slammed when she wore a $US10,800 ($AU14,111) gold bracelet from her fine jewellery brand, Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry, during a 60 Minutes interview ... then tried to flog it in a press release.

Beyoncé Just Made These Dancers' Lives With a Surprise Visit

2017-03-12T15:30:00.000-07:00

BY LAURISE MCMILLIAN
Since announcing her pregnancy, Beyoncé has been taking some time off from her own performances —but that isn't stopping her from crashing others'. Yesterday, Bey surprised the Alvin Ailey dance team backstage at their show at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles.

Backstage after the Alvin Ailey dancers performance it was magnificent. With my beautiful Tina's Angels and with a few of the mentors. My very gracious daughter who met the girls and spent some time with them and made their day!

A post shared by Tina Knowles (@mstinalawson) on Mar 11, 2017 at 7:01pm PST

One dancer saw her and cried out, "BEYONCÉ," because that's just what you do when the queen comes to see you, right? Bey told the team that they were "incredible" and "beautiful," and thanked them for sharing their talent.

When Beyoncé surprises you back stage!!!The Alvin Ailey Dancers are the most beautiful and Talented and gracious Human Beings. I was honored to meet them and they were so nice and patient to my girls!!! ❤️❤️

A post shared by Tina Knowles (@mstinalawson) on Mar 12, 2017 at 1:44am PST

Fans got to take selfies with her, and this dancer even gave Bey his dance poster.

🐝AAHH!!! It was an honor dancing in front of Queen B @beyonce today here in Los Angeles @musiccenterla Not only I had the chance to chat with her and catch this quick selfie but I also gave her my Ailey Poster 😍 She loved it!

Michelle Obama Wrote a College Recommendation Letter for Yara Shahidi

2017-03-12T12:49:00.003-07:00

BY LAURISE MCMILLIAN

I have a feeling she'll get in...

Essays and SAT scores are important, but Yara Shahidi has an extra something-something to help her college applications along. In a recent interview with W, Shahidi reveals that former FLOTUS, Michelle Obama wrote her a college recommendation and gave the Black-ish star words of encouragement before taking AP exams. YES, YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY(!!!) She's living every high schooler's dream — but, we're sure her chances would've been just as high without the letter, considering the fact that she maintains a 4.6 grade point average.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

A post shared by Yara (يارا‎) Shahidi (@yarashahidi) on Jan 10, 2017 at 11:32pm PST

"She is very amazing and such a supporter, which is something very surreal to say," Shahidi said of Obama. The interview states that the 17-year-old is finished with college applications now, and she plans to double-major in African American studies and sociology after taking a well-deserved gap year like Malia Obama.

Katherine Jenkins FINALLY responds to David Beckham's cruel honours comment: "Of course it was hurtful"

BYJAMES DRAPER

She was embroiled in a rather salacious scandal, earlier this year - through no fault of her own.

And now Katherine Jenkins has finally hit back at David Beckham over cruel comments that she didn't deserve to be recognised by the honours system.

Speaking to The Sun's Fabulous magazine, the star - who used cocaine in her early 20s - said: "I'm a human being. Of course something like that would be hurtful."

She went on to add that the disgraced former footballer, 42, knows "nothing" about her.

"But at the same time I've learned that when you're famous sometimes you get dragged into things you shouldn't be involved in," she continued. "Sometimes people feel like they know you, but actually they know nothing about you."

Katherine Jenkins has spoken out in a new interview with The Sun

Her comments come just weeks after hackers leaked Beckham's emails, in which he fumed: "Katherine Jenkins OBE for what? Singing at the rugby and going to see the troops plus taking coke. F***ing joke."

The foul-mouthed emails - allegedly sent to his long term agent Simon Oliveira - appear to reveal Becks deep seated anger over not being made Sir David, branding the honours committee a "bunch of c**ts".

Representatives of the Welsh singer quickly provided Mirror Online with a fact sheet detailing why she received her honour in 2014.

"We are not issuing a statement – just providing a fact sheet as to why Katherine Jenkins received an OBE in the 2014 New Year's Honours List for services to music and charity in response to Beckham," a representative for the star said.

Katherine's reps also addressed the claims she took cocaine.

"With regards to the taking of coke which Katherine has courageously publicly admitted with great honesty - this was when she was in her early 20s still a student – over a decade before she was awarded her OBE and started her recording career," her rep said.

The statement lists "Katherine's services to charity prior to being awarded an OBE".

These include her visits to troops in active war zones including Iraq in 2005 and 2006, Afghanistan in 2007 and 2013, Cyprus in 2007 and 2009 and Kosovo in 2009.

In 2006 Katherine also became a trustee of the British Forces Foundation and is also a trustee of Care after Combat and an Ambassador of the 2016 Invictus Games.

Sibling Confirms Hiatus

2017-03-11T09:43:00.002-08:00

LONDON based fashion house Sibling has announced that it is winding down the business. Established in 2008 by Joe Bates, Sid Bryan and Cozette McCreery, the brand had established itself over the last nine years as a favourite on the London Fashion Week calendar, thanks to its joyful knitwear and cool-girl aesthetic.

Sid and Cozette at the end of their January show.

"Sibling is now on hiatus and liquidators have been appointed voluntarily to assist in winding down the business and studio," a representative for the brand told us this afternoon. "Cozette and Sid thank everyone who has been a part of Sibling and the joyful Sibling squad over the years”.

Bryan and McCreery have been solely in charge of the creative direction of the label since Bates passed away in August 2015. The last show for the house took place in January during London Fashion Week Mens.

Taylor Swift "Stalker" Arrested

2017-03-11T06:49:00.003-08:00

A MAN accused of embarking on a relentless stalking campaign of Taylor Swift has been arrested in New York. The man, 29-year-old Mohammed Jaffar, is charged with burglary and stalking, according to Page Six, and is barred from getting in contact with the Shake It Off singer.

According to court papers, Jaffar was hoping to get face-to-face contact with Swift and, in attempting to do so, continued to arrive at the singer's Tribeca penthouse apartment - which she bought for $20 million in 2014 - even when told to stay away. On February 6, he managed to enter the building and lingered outside the front door to Swift's apartment, before taking to the roof of the property, in a visit that lasted four hours, confirmed by surveillance footage.

On a separate occasion, he is accused of ringing Swift's doorbell for an hour, as well as making 59 calls to Swift's management between January 27 and February 16 asking to be put directly in touch with her.

Swift's friend Gigi Hadid faced a similar situation in 2015 at her own New York property. Last October the man in question - Marcell Porter - was committed to a psychiatric facility by a Manhattan judge. Hadid sold the $2.45 million space soon after.

Two Yves Saint Laurent museums to open in Paris and Morocco

2017-03-08T21:21:00.000-08:00

By AFP
Two new museums dedicated to the life of fashion designer Yves Saint-Laurent will open in Morocco and Paris in October 2017

Two museums dedicated to the life and work of fashion legend Yves Saint Laurent will open in Paris and Morocco later this year, his foundation said Tuesday.

The larger museum in Marrakesh -- where the late designer often retreated to work in the home he shared with his partner Pierre Berge -- hopes to attract up to 700,000 visitors a year.

"Both museums are aimed at the general public as well as fashion lovers. Yves Saint Laurent was a major artist of the 20th century," the couple's foundation said in a statement.

It holds a collection of more than 5,000 outfits and 15,000 accessories the Algerian-born designer created during his 40-year career.

Berge opened Morocco's first museum of Moroccan Berber art in 2011 -- three years after the death of his partner -- to house the collection they built together.

The new purpose-built Marrakesh museum is near the historic riad mansion the couple shared.

Both museums will open in October, with the Paris site housed inside the foundation's headquarters.

The model has recently enjoyed a revival of her catwalk career, following an extended break in the mid Noughties, and in the last couple of years has walked for labels including Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors and Prabal Gurung, as well as shot editorials and campaigns for Banana Republic, Yohji Yamamoto and Loewe.

KNOWN for her reticence to share too much in interviews, Kate Moss has opened up in the April issue of Vogue - on everything from her new role as a model agent to catching the tube in London.

Although she graces the cover, photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, inside the issue Moss assumes her contributing fashion editor role - styling a shoot photographed by her boyfriend, Nikolai von Bismarck, and starring two protégés of her Kate Moss Agency, Elfie Reigate and Louis Baines.

“As a model I am prepared to stand in a bikini at the end of an ice glacier when it’s minus 30, because that is what the client has booked me to do and that’s the job," she explained of launching the agency, which she has been building since last September. "So, as I get older, it seemed like the natural thing to do was to take responsibility for my choices both as a model and with the branding I put my name to.”

Having started her career at 17, Moss revealed that she's understandably protective about her young charges; trying to shield them from the problems that she herself faced.

“I don’t want a young girl to feel bad if she has to wait around," Moss said. "I was that person with Steven Meisel, even though I was the face of CK at the time. I had to sit around for days. It can be really hard. I’m maternal; I don’t want the girls to feel insecure.”

The model, who revealed that she recently took the tube in London ("Everyone seemed so quiet!"), joked about her current level of celebrity - a far cry from those early days - with paparazzi a constant presence in her life.

“Actually, it doesn’t particularly bother me," she joked. "One guy sits outside the house. He comes to the country, too... Once he brought his kids and they spent the weekend sitting in the car.”

Paris Jackson has signed with a top modelling agency.

The 18-year-old, the late Michael Jackson's only daughter and middle of his three children, has signed a contract with IMG Models.

President of IMG Models Ivan Bart shared the news on his Instagram page: "One singular sensation!! Welcome Ms Jackson! @parisjackson #imgstar @imgmodels."

PASCAL LE SEGRETAIN

Michael Jackson's 18-year-old daughter joins the ranks of Gigi and Bella as she signs with IMG Models.

She has also been dabbling in the style scene in recent months, sitting front row at Dior and Givenchy's recent shows during Paris Fashion Week: Men's, and appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, in which she gave a candid interview about her battles with depression and anxiety as a young girl, and in the years after Michael's death in 2009.

As for music, Paris currently has no plans to follow in her father's footsteps.

"I write music for myself. I use it as a way to get stuff out. It's not something I see myself following career-wise," she said in a recent interview for Carine Roitfeld's CR Fashion Book Issue 10, in which she features on the cover. "There are so many amazing artists in my family. If I were to do it as a career, it would change how I feel about music and I don't want that to happen."

IMG Models has many top models on its books, including Gisele Bundchen, Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Hailey Baldwin, Karlie Kloss, Lily Aldridge and Cindy Crawford's daughter Kaia Gerber.

NEW YORK (AP) — Venus Williams chatted with fans and autographed balls at a low-key fashion show on Sunday, highlighting her spring tennis clothing line.

The EleVen by Venus collection will be worn by ball girls and ushers at the BNP Paribas Showdown on Monday night at Madison Square Garden.

"(We) have the opportunity to outfit everyone, and it's just a win-win," Williams said in a recent phone interview with The Associated Press.

Showdown founder Jerry Solomon and Williams decided to showcase her active wear, featuring berry colors and classic black and white. Vince Camuto sportswear will outfit the male staffers at the 10th anniversary of the event on World Tennis Day.

"We have always been more than a night of tennis," Solomon said.

At the Garden, Williams will play French Open champion Garbine Muguruza in an exhibition with a team tennis format of "The Americas vs The World."

She'll join Juan Martin del Potro in doubles against Muguruza and Kei Nishikori. Andy Roddick faces Lleyton Hewitt and Jack Sock takes on Nick Kyrgios.

Here are some things to know about Williams, who frequently travels with her gray Havanese dog Harold, enjoys singing karaoke and looks forward to the French Open, where she'll extend her record as all-time leader in Grand Slam appearances to 74.

OFF COURT

Williams has a busy life off the court, working toward her master's degree in interior architecture for her VStarr Interiors company and as part-owner of the Miami Dolphins with her sister Serena.

She relaunched EleVen in 2012 after dealing with distribution issues during the recession. Paragon Sports in New York, which hosted the fashion show, and other stores and tennis clubs will sell her line of tennis, yoga and active throughout the year.

"I'm fully on the case, my hands are all involved in design," said Williams, who earned a degree in fashion design at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. "That's what makes obviously EleVen very EleVen, it has my point of view."

She says the tricky part is coming up with a new selection of hues.

"It feels like you've used every color already," she said, laughing. "Let's try to find a color that people like to wear that we haven't used already."

VETERAN SMARTS

Williams needed all the savvy of a 36-year-old veteran to reach the Australian Open final in January, competing for the title for the first time in 14 years. She lost to Serena, but the seven-time Grand Slam singles winner seems to especially savor those moments.

"It was great, I played against a lot of players who were very worthy of being in that final two," Venus said. "So I was pretty delighted to be there."

Now ranked No. 13, she'll play this week at Indian Wells, California, followed by the Miami Open near her backyard of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

She's experienced the roller coast of fatigue with Sjogren's Syndrome, diagnosed in 2011. After the Australian Open, she lost in the first round of the St. Petersburg Open and acknowledged she wasn't feeling her best.

RIGHT COACH

All the while, she's maintained a steady decade-plus coaching relationship with Dave Witt.

"I think we have very similar temperaments, we're very laid back," Williams said. "If it's working, don't fix it."

She says her game has evolved since turning pro at 14 in 1994.

"You have to improve to be competitive," Williams said. "I think my mental game has improved the most, trying to be stronger mentally and physically. Just a lot more time in the gym increasingly is crucial."

SOCIAL VOICE

Williams has 1.66 million followers on Twitter, which features a photo of Harold, posts on keeping girls in sports and her cover story on entrepreneurship in Inc. magazine.

Williams helped bring equal prize money to the Grand Slam tournaments in 2007, urging Wimbledon to finally give athletes of both genders the same paycheck.

She's also an investor in Ellevest, which helps women with investment strategies.

Williams recently joined the #StandUp movement, saying in a video on Twitter: "I'm standing up against inequality and I am standing up for constant positive change, embetterment and for love in this world."

AIMING FOR 40?

Williams has talked about possibly playing in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, when she'd be 40. Billie Jean King played until 40 and Martina Navratilova won the U.S. Open mixed doubles title at 49.

She attributes her longevity to "lots of prayer" and passion for the game.

"You have to love it, it's a lot of work," Williams said. "If you feel like you have more to give, the heart is in it, that makes it pretty easy to get out there and pay the price."
