"Sexy" Serena Williams Cheers Venus to US Open Win
01/01/1970 - Unable to defend her championship do to a nagging injury, Serena Williams turned up at Flushing Meadows to cheer on big sister Venus Williams during the US Open tennis tournament on Friday night (September 3). Splitting time between the players' box and announcers' booth, the world's top player happily watched on as her sis beat up on Mandy Minella of Luxembourg in the third round matchup - as Venus won 6-2 6-1. And with the tennis being a bit uncompetitive, attention turned to Serena's glammed up look including a hot red dress with fully done hair and makeup. Commenting on her little sisters alluring appearance, Venus - who designs dresses as a side-gig - said, "Serena is looking rather sexy tonight. She looks lovely in red."

Taylor Lautner Settles RV Lawsuit Dispute
01/01/1970 - Unwilling to cave into an absurd push-up challenge, Taylor Lautner has ended up reaching an amicable agreement in regards to his lawsuit against an RV dealer. Stemming from a snafu in which the "Twilight" hunk's customized trailer wasn't delivered by the expected date of June 21, Lautner has accepted a charitable donation to call off legal proceedings against McMahon's RV. Talking to Us magazine, Lautner's attorney Robert Barta said, "McMahon's RV has agreed to settle its dispute with Taylor Lautner. McMahon's RV will pay $40,000 to Lautner, which Lautner will donate to The Lollipop Theater Network, a children's charity with which he has a long-standing relationship." Barta continued, "The Lollipop Theater Network is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing movies currently in theaters to children confined to hospitals due to chronic or life-threatening illnesses. The Lollipop Theater Network works with hospitals nationwide, including the greater Los Angeles and Orange County areas.?" As for claims that Taylor was suing over emotional distress, insiders tell TMZ that this just wasn't the case - it was about holding McMahon's accountable for their unacceptable business practices. "This was never a suit about money. It was to hold someone accountable," TMZ's source tells. "Taylor never ordered a customized RV -- it was a used RV which needed simple safety-related repairs. There was never any diva behavior. 'Emotional distress' is an automatic checked box on a fraudulent claim."
Lindsay Lohan's Grove Movie Night
01/01/1970 - Seeking out new ways to spend her free time aside from her previous partying ways, Lindsay Lohan headed out for a night at the movies in Hollywood, CA on Friday (September 3). Joined by a few friends, the "Georgia Rule" babe got the help of a security staffer as she made her way into The Grove to catch her just-released movie, "Machete". Meanwhile, LiLo popped up in headlines earlier today over reports of a hit and run incident claiming that she clipped a baby carriage in her Maserati before speeding away. Since the initial story broke, TMZ sources tell that the tale was embellished - as it reportedly took place on Wednesday with Lindsay making a legal turn while "ever-so-slightly tapped the stroller -- like 1 mile an hour." Rather than just driving off, the TMZ insider tells that Miss Lohan stopped to make sure everything was okay before proceeding on her way.
Katy Perry: Claridges Cutie
01/01/1970 - Still situated in the UK, Katy Perry was spotted greeting her adoring fans in London, England on Friday night (September 3). Following another busy day of promotions, the "California Gurls" singer kindly spent time outside the Claridge's Hotel to sign autographs and pose for pictures before continuing along with her nighttime agenda of traveling to Germany. Having released her new album "Teenage Dream" earlier this week, Katy was able to grab the top spot on the sales chart with 192,000 copies sold while "California Gurls" saw 3.6 million downloads. Despite the fact that she had the best numbers, industry experts were surprised by the low totals, as one source said, "I'd like to meet one industry executive last week who thought her album would do under 200,000 units, because I don't think that person exists." The insider adds, "It was a wake-up call for some folks. Some think the sky is falling. Others said, 'Wait a minute, she's a singles artist.' And still others said EMI should have put out the album six weeks ago and it would have sold more."
