Kelly Rowland and La La Anthony are not in London supporting their bestie Serena Williams as she plays for Olympic gold, instead the ladies are shopping it in up Los Angeles. First Kelly was spotted in the boxing ring! Yes, you read that right. The former X Factor judge posted a photo of herself in the ring with what looks like a trainer. Kelly wore a blue tank top and blue zebra print leggings plus a serious game face!

After completing her workout, Kelly caught up with LA LA Anthony who’s believed to be shooting scenes for the third season of La La’s Full Court Life. The duo were shopping through West Hollywood. See more photos of the ladies below.

Across the pond their girlfriend Serena Williams was sweeping through her first round at the Olympics with first lady Michelle Obama in attendance. The Wimbledon champ defeated Jelena Jankovic of Serbia, 6-3, 6-1.

“I was a little nervous in the first set, but once I got relaxed I played a little better,” said Serena after her win.  “I actually think I played solid today. I felt the ball well. I missed a few shots, but at least I was going forward.

Before her match, officials asked Serena if Michelle Obama can sit in her family box where Venus was already sitting. Her answer?

“They asked me if I minded if she sat in my box, and I was like, ‘Of course not. Please. It would be my honor. I mean; I love Michelle. She’s so cool. I’ve met her several, several times. Seeing her there made me feel better and made me want to play better.”

Seriously, would Serena say no to Michelle??! See more photos below:

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
