After a few weeks off, No. 4-ranked Maria Sharapova, who turns 19 on April 19, says she'll be ready to jump back into the tournament circuit after losing to her Russian rival Svetlana Kuznetsova in Miami at the NASDAQ-100 last month. That gives the tennis star, who's been living in Bradenton, Fla., time to relax at her new Los Angeles home, a house she bought on Manhattan Beach.

Going to Bed with Jamie Foxx
Originally posted 08/27/2004 06:00AM
As if it weren't already hot enough in Miami this time of year ... Collateral star Jamie Foxx dropped by the regular "secret society" party at nightspot Bed, a hip-hop club where VIPs are invited to lounge on – you guessed it – beds. While Florida Marlins pitcher Josh Beckett relaxed on a bed with a bevy of women, Foxx grabbed a microphone and sang along to hip-hop tunes like J-Kwon's "Tipsy." Rapper Timbaland joined Foxx, who worked the crowd well into the night, finally winding down and going back to his Bed bed at around 3 a.m.

It's All 'Love' for Sharapova
Originally posted 07/09/2004 06:00AM
File under good sports: Maria Sharapova took the big prize at Wimbledon, but the 17-year-old Russian tennis phenom isn't letting fame go to her head. She showed up as scheduled for a kids' tennis clinic in New Haven, Conn., this week, and spent two hours in the blazing heat helping 100 kids learn the basics of tennis. "When I make a commitment I stick to it," Sharapova tells us. "Most of these kids never played before so it was great for them to pick up a racquet at such a young age. I love giving back to kids." Sharapova's newfound celebrity hasn't been entirely smooth sailing, however. "It's been crazy, I've had photographers all around me and people driving behind me and following me, which is very unusual, but that's the way it's going to be. I want to be a tennis player, but to achieve what I want to achieve, these things will happen, and if you don't like it, just don't win. It's simple."
