Rapper Arrested For Bringing Brass Knuckles To Airport
Americans Living Longer With Diabetes: CDC
Few professional athletes look as healthy as Serena Williams (pictured), but the tennis diva was hospitalized in Los Angeles yesterday while battling serious blood clots in her lungs, according to published reports.
Williams, the poster girl for athletic excellence, glamour and self-confidence looked her normal robust self at a party Sunday evening for Elton John's AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party.
But just a day later, Williams was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital for emergency treatment of a blood clot in her lung, according to a statement from her representative which appeared in People magazine.
The cryptic nature of the statement has to be troubling to the legions of Williams fans who are hoping to see her back on the tennis court after battling injuries for the past several months.
Williams, 29, had surgery last year, after cutting her foot on broken glass.
Some folks are put off by Williams self-assuredness, but I've never understood that. She and her sister, Venus, represent all that is right in modern athletics. For the past decade, they have stood among the best women's tennis players in the world.
Serena clearly likes the good life, with her frequent forays in to the worlds of high fashion, acting and all things glitzy. Climbing from the garbage-filled tennis courts of Southern California, where she grew up, she has earned every bit of the good life she now enjoys.
From her powerful yet seductive physique to the confident way she conducts interviews to the ferocity with which she pounds a tennis ball, absolutely nothing about Williams hints at fragility.
But it's obvious her health is now question. It's time for the tennis star and her fans to put dreams of her 28th Grand Slam victory on the back burner and put getting healthy on the top of her agenda.

Though Im not a sports fan at all there is no denying the greatness that Ms. Serena Williams exudes not only in sports but her day to day living. You will never see her drunk in the club, having relations with married men, doing drugs and alcohol for the world to see or being a common thief. Based on what I have observed of Ms. Serena Williams is that she is a Beautiful Black Woman who our young girls can look up to and be proud of. May God Bless You Ms. Serena Williams becaus you are truly all that.

Such a tasteless and trashy comment...I wonder what "YOUR MOMMA,SISTER, WIFE OR DAUGHTER" looks and dresses like? If it's anything like your comment...then the apple probably doesn't fall too far from the tree.

Lmao! Because you are so jealous of black people. Your comments actually make me feel so good because we as African Americans are a big threat to you! Anyone that takes the time out to trash another culture feels inferior! By the way Serena is laughing at your butt too all the way to the bank. Oh I forgot she didn't even read your comment because she only associate with people on her level.

Uub, your mama was a ho who brought a piece of shit like you into the world. You are nothing but a colossaal waste of oxygen, and like I have said numerous times before your hateful, racist ass should have been aborted. I am so sick and tired of you going from blog to blog spewing your hatred and making disparaging remarks against Blacks, no matter what the subject is. You need to be reported and blocked. You truly make me sick!
