(UPDATED) FASHION FIX: Are you "All In" for these adidas tees?
Have you guys seen these new adidas t-shirts their boys have been wearing during their practices in Estoril? How much do you WANT?
These tees are part of the adidas' latest brand marketing campaign called "All Adidas" which features the tagline "All In". It launched last month with a series of commercials that highlights their connections with worlds of sports, music and fashion. David Beckham, Leo Messi, Derrick Rose, B.O.B and Katy Perry all make appearances in these fast-moving, visually exciting spots. The brand has a dedicated YouTube page for the new campaign where you can watch all of the commercials.
So back to these most highly coveted tees. Apparently, they're not being sold to the public which makes absolutely no sense at all. Maybe they thought there wouldn't be a demand, but maybe that's because they haven't made a PR push and no one really knows about them yet. So, let's get the word out. I mean, these tees are like tennis' version of the sports jersey. How awesome would it be to have your fave baller riding your back?? Uh, don't answer that. Focus on the tees, people.
UPDATE: So it's settled. Go here, find your country or region, click the "Contact Us" link and let them know "I WANT A BALLER ON MY BACK!" That is all.

VIDEO VAULT: Serena hits the talk shows, Nole + NaturAna climb the Avala TV Tower
Serena Williams hopped onto the post-Aussie Open media tour making stops at Jimmy Kimmel to discuss the win, the fine and the Prince...
...and the Ellen Degeneres Show where she smashed plates. I'm more impressed with Ellen's power moves - nice.
Novak Djokovic + Ana Ivanovic visited the restored Avala TV Tower in Belgrade where they left behind hand prints. The pair also played an exo here 5 years ago won by NaturAna.
I have no idea what they're saying but these two are giving full-on hawtness.
(Edit: So reader Sara wondered whether NaturAna's man hands are bigger than Nole's. Any guesses? I know those bitches are bigger than my mitts but that's not saying much.)

SIGHTING: Serena Party Watch in full effect for Grammy weekend
The Serena Party Watch was in overdrive this weekend for the 50th Annual Grammy Awards. The 8-time Grand Slam champion, who came down with a strange case of camera-shyness recently, switched out her tennis gear for party gowns and hairdos as she hit up Clive Davis' prestigious pre-Grammy party on Saturday (above) and then the Entertainment Weekly Grammy after-party honoring music industry heavyweight LA Reid on Sunday, spending time chatting up family friend Janet Jackson (below).
Thought we think she looks great at both events, we're loving ReRe's sexy look from the post-Grammy party - the shorter, sleeker bob-style hair and salmon halter dress is very flattering on the former World No. 1.

SIGHTING: Anna Kournikova looking healthy, dressing badly
We reported a few weeks back about former tennis glamourpuss Anna Kournikova and her rumored struggles with an eating disorder. However, based on these recent shots of the Russian in Miami Beach, she's looking healthy to us. What we can't get over is her styling - head to toe. What's up with the platformy leopard-print heels, red shapeless babydoll dress, and lifeless hair? She used to bring IT to the tennis court but apparently those days were long ago.

A: Yeah, I was expecting that question on the first place (laughter).
No, let's not go too much with Maria. It's just a friendship we have. It was nice from her to come and support me. As well, Robert, he was yesterday on the match, and today.
I mean, it's amazing feeling to see such a successful people, you know, in my box supporting me, playing with me I can say, living every emotional moment. It's great. It's great.
A: She said she's going to kill me. Of course, she accepted it on the right way. Of course, she found it funny, not offended.
A: I met him randomly on the street. I was sitting in a bar. He was coming, smoking a cigarette (smiling). No, no.
We were invited ‑‑ I went with a couple of players, Ana Ivanovic, we got invited from he and his wife to come to the dinner. It was really nice. He owns the Japanese restaurant, so we went there for dinner. We met. We talked.
As well, his wife is a very big fan of tennis. She's a great woman. He's, you know, a great person. I'm really happy that they showed up and supported me.

Dear USA Network: No more awkward celebrity interviews at the US Open
Cut the fat: We have had it, and it seems we're not the only ones. Down the Line! would like to submit a formal complaint to USA Network about roving reporter (although we have another title in mind) Michael Barkan. Barkan has this unique talent of interrupting a great US Open match at the worst time for a pointless and annoying celebrity interview. To make matters worse, he creates severely awkward moments for all involved, mostly for himself.
Jossip, the media gossip blog, posted the ridiculous interaction between Barkan, Jerry Seinfeld, and Larry David that occurred during the thrilling quarterfinal between Venus Williams and Jelena Jankovic. Our favorite part:
Michael Barkan (to Jerry): What are you doing, quickly?
Jerry Seinfeld: I have a bee—
Michael Barkan: Or not quickly! I’m sorry.
Jerry Seinfeld: —a bee movie coming out November 2nd, an animated movie.
Michael Barkan: (whispering) Really? A bee movie?
Jerry Seinfeld (whispering) Yes.
Michael Barkan: (loudly) A bee movie!
Larry David (whispering) You’re talking too loud! What’s the matter with you?
Michael Barkan (whispering): I’m sorry. What’s the funniest thing that—that you’ve ever seen on a tennis court?
Jerry Seinfeld (loudly): Not you.
Jerry and Larry laugh.
Michael Barkan: Okay. Okay, with that, we, uh—shhhh! We send it back. With Jerry and Larry, and Larry and Jerry.
