For those of you who have been wondering – and asking, via the Comments section – about what the Williams sisters have been up to, the New York Post’s ever-vigilant Page Six posted an item on her yesterday.
I tried to navigate through the Search pages this morning to retrieve the item (which I read on the subway before giving away the paper), but it was so frustrating that I’m just going to quote it in full:

TENNIS superstar Serena Williams seemed a little overserved at a Vibe magazine Oscar pre-party in L.A. Our spywitness spotted a wobbly Williams being helped out of Republic nightclub by two friends. "They were literally holding her up and keeping her steady so she could walk out," clucked our spy. Serena - who’d been indulging in freeflowing Moet Champagne - stumbled out early from a party that drew the likes of Queen Latifah, Terrence Howard, Kimora Lee Simmons, Ludacris and Nia Long.

In an email, Jon Wertheim also noted that Venus reportedly was interviewed at an Oscars party, and she remarked on how she was much happier where she was than being on a tennis court.
Suddenly, the upcoming NASDAQ 100 event in Miami - the Williamses home tournament - looms as a fascinating career juncture for both girls.
