It's Andre Agassi's last hurrah. And my favorite person on Earth is likely retiring in the near future.
But I wouldn't be worshiping at the shrine that is Tennis without the perfection of Billie Jean King. And now the powerdyke gets her own tennis center named in her honor. DE-licious.

David Bowie is... African?
I guess I'm a little slow with my celebrity charity eyeopeners, but Gawker's one off from the Keep a Child Alive campaign is throwing me off more than most quasi ewww/good intentioned...whatevers.
The concept is credited to Iman (her photo makes sense) and the photography is Michael Thompson (the work is fierce). How this translates to SJP and Alan Cumming wearing "tribal" facepaint and declaring, "I am African," I don't know.
Each and every one of us contains DNA that can be traced back our African ancestors. These amazing people traveled far and wide. Now they need our help.
Well, yes.
But it seems to me that calling for rigorous treatment availability and demanding recognition and commitment of/to global humanity need not also include a campaign with Richard Gere trying to suggest that he (and, in turn, all Americans) lives and breathes the same horror of non-access is, well, a little gross.
back, so to speak
I can't decide what is more horribly inappropriate and obnoxious:
That someone found this to be a good idea...
(via Slog)
...or that I felt it somehow necessary to start a blog. You know, since there is a lack.
