Caroline Wozniacki’s prank on Maria Sharapova doesn’t go according to plan
Caroline Wozniacki is a world class tennis player, girlfriend of PGA golfer Rory McIlroy, and apparently a bit of a prankster. She seems to be pretty good at the first two items on that list, but her pranking may need a bit of work, after this failed practical joke attempt on Maria Sharapova at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.The prank seem simple enough—pop a balloon while the unsuspecting Sharapova is being interviewed—but for some reason the playful Wozniacki can’t seem to execute the most important part of her nefarious plan. She jumps on it, stomps on it, and still can’t pop the balloon, even after she gets caught in the act by Sharapova. They should build airplanes and space stations out of this balloon and it’s seemingly indestructible material. Read more ›

VIDEO: Aussie Open Ball Girl Takes on Cricket and Barely Wins
Since when is it a ball girl or boy’s responsibility to corral wild animals and creepy insects that wander on the tennis court? Last time I checked wrangling wayward tennis balls was the only thing noted in their job title or description. And is a cricket on the court that much of a distraction or safety hazard that it has to be immediately removed? I mean, what’s the worst that could happen—it gets stepped on and the person responsible for squashing the bug is the lucky recipient of cricket innards on the bottom of their expensive tennis shoe.This poor ball girl at the Australian Open was called upon to remove a cricket during the day two men’s singles match between Cedrik-Marcel Stebe and Lleyton Hewitt for reasons unknown. Perhaps Stebe was afraid the cricket might attack his ankles with it’s vicious mandibles of death, or his chirping would lull him into a state of extreme relaxation, leading to an easy point or two for Hewitt. Or maybe the Aussie Open officials just wanted the lost insect to pay admission for his courtside seat.
All I know is, the ball girl got rid of the cricket quickly, admirably, and hilariously. Read more ›

Serena Williams Shows Off Her Very Heroic, Very Unsexy Superman Pajamas

Novak Djokovic Will Flex His Acting Chops in “The Expendables 2″
The Expendables 2 is currently filming in Bulgaria, and this time around the star-studded cast of action heroes from the first film (Stallone, Couture, Statham, Lundgren, Li, etc.) are joined by some of the other giants of the Hollywood action movie genre, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, and Novak Djokovic.Wait, what?
OK, so Djokovic’s starring role is actually more like a cameo, and the character he plays won’t be a stretch at all, seeing that he’ll be playing himself in the flick, and not some badass Serbian hitman or tennis playing secret double agent with a quick trigger finger and a heart of gold.
