Let’s face it – people are fascinated with what celebrities are saying and doing. They want to know about their love lives, their break-ups, their mistakes, their good deeds – almost anything you can imagine.

Tabloids will invent stories simply because people cannot seem to get enough celebrity gossip in their daily lives. And who hasn’t stood in line at the grocery stores and thumbed through a few celebrity gossip tabloids? I mean, we all know that they are usually false, but the stories are still intriguing. Today’s society revolves too much around celebrity gossip.

The difference in 12 months was easy to see.  Serena Williams, wearing fuchsia bicycle shorts and headband, a short white dress and dangling, chandelier-inspired earrings, found her form quickly and beat Jarmila Gajdosova 6-3, 6-3 on Monday in the first match in the Australian Open.  Last year, Williams was unseeded, ranked 81st and coming off one of her worst losses on tour — in a Tier 4 event at Hobart — yet she beat six seeded players en route to the title at Melbourne Park. It was her eighth, and least expected, Grand Slam win.  Expectations — hers and the pundits — are much higher this season.  “It’s obviously a lot different — I’m not No. 81 any more. And the court’s different — it’s a different color,” Williams told the crowd after her 62-minute match at Rod Laver Arena against wild-card entry Gajdosova, a Slovak who is representing Australia.
