So wonderful! So much charity happening these past few weeks!

Andre Agassi, tennis player and now charitable humanitarian, set up an evening with Andre Agassi's Grand Slam For Children at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas!

Showing the love was Train, Carrot Top, Smokey Robinson, and Jimmy Kimmel amongst others!!

Hope it was a hit, Andre!

LOL!

We LOVE this! Andy Samberg was asked to portray some of tennis' most famous rivalries for a New York Times Magazine and he serves them up with a perfect ace.

The Motherlover was photographed by Walter Iooss Jr., the same man who captured the actual iconic images of rivalries between players John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg, Andre Agassi, Jimmy Connors, and Pete Sampras.

The results are HIGHlariously uncanny! We've got more pics below, but click here for ALL of Samberg's impersonations.

While Derek Jeter was busy setting Major League Baseball records on Saturday, a retired tennis player was being recognized for records he broke years ago.

Andre Agassi, winner of eight Grand Slam singles titles and the oldest player to reach the top of the rankings, was honored with an induction into the International Tennis Hall of Fame on Saturday.

He was joined on stage by his wife and women's tennis great, Steffi Graf, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2004 for her accomplishments in the sport.

Check out the video above for more details and to hear part of Agassi's gracious, yet inspiring speech.

Congrats, Andre!

We hope his wife hasn’t heard about this yet! LOL!

In order to push up the price of an autographed dish at an auction, Andre Agassi offered to show the winner a naked picture of his wife, Steffi Graf, if the dish sold for over $4,000. (skip ahead in the video to see Andre talk)

He’s crazy, but it actually worked! At least the money went to charity!

She looks so amazing!

Jennifer Hudson recently went from a size 16 to 6 on the Weight Watchers program, and we couldn’t be more proud of her! She sang at the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education’s 15th Grand Slam for Children benefit concert in Vegas over the weekend.

Keep it up, bb! You’re an inspiration!
