Can you say best teacher ever???

Venus Williams visited the charity FSM to meet kids whom are interested in tennis!

And if they were on the fence before meeting Venus, we can almost guarantee they can't wait to be tennis superstars now!

It is so sweet of Venus to be so charitable, and to help the children.

After all - they're our future!!!

Check out MORE pictures of Venus swinging away down (below) !!!

The Boy Scouts of America always endeavor to Be Prepared, but it seems they were not quite ready for the public's reaction to their ban on gay scouts and leaders.

As recently as July of last year the Scouts re-affirmed their No Gays Allowed policy, but the times they are a-changin'!

Many charities, businesses, and United Way groups have stopped donating to the Boy Scouts due to their discriminatory practices, causing the organization to rethink their ways.

The BSA's board of directors are reportedly "actively considering" changing their national policy to allow individual charters to allow in homosexual members if they so choose. Spokesman Deron Smith says:

We just previously mentioned that chicken wings stock was expected to hit a record high because of the Super Bowl.

Now it seems like chicken wings may be in such high demand that they won't be easy to find on game day!

Due to the high cost of corn and feed, chicken wing production has decreased.

So what happens when you add decreased production with an increased demand??

Color us shocked!

Considering he can get a date with any Victoria’s Secret model he wants, we’re a bit surprised Leonardo DiCaprio is having to pay anything for a date with anyone.

However, it looks like his $200K was all for a good cause.

Leo spent the money during an auction at the 2013 Sean Penn and Friends Help Haiti Home Gala to benefit Sean Penn's J/P Haiti Relief Organization, and in return, he will get to spend the day out with Bill Clinton.

But they won’t be alone!

Yup, a threesome with Leo and Bill!

The actor's previous bid of $100K was outbid at one point, so he decided to join up with the rival bidder and go halfsies to make the donation that much better while still reaping the rewards.

The total spent on a date with Bill: $400,000!

Boy, we sure hope Bill takes them to dinner and a movie!

Be super organized! You might run a tight ship normally, but the holiday season calls for military organization! Keep a notebook next to your bed and plan the next day. Having a schedule will keep you relaxed, even amongst the extra house guests and last minute duties.

At one time or another we’ve all received holiday gifts given to us with good intentions yet didn’t really work for our taste. Unwanted gifts clutter up the house or office while we figure out what to do with the gift. Guilt and fear paralyze us into keeping gifts we don’t want or need.

Re-gifting is becoming a perfectly acceptable social practice. In a recent survey, when asked if it is okay to receive a re-gifted item, 83% of survey respondents said yes. So if you are now considering re-gifting this holiday season, use these 6 tips as guidelines when re-gifting:

1. Gift packaging and contents must be in excellent condition;

2. Remove old tape remnants and re-wrap the gift in new wrapping paper;

3. Only give the gift to someone who will appreciate and use it;

4. Make sure all the pieces (puzzles, toys) are intact and unbroken;

5. Never re-gift unsold garage sale merchandise; fruit cakes, gift cards with partially used balances
and nothing monogrammed.

6. Keep track of who gave you the gift; don’t mistake giving it back to them!

Re-gifting is a great way to declutter your space and get organized, to be environmentally conscious by recycling and reusing and helps to keep your budget down. So go ahead and celebrate this season and re-gift, re-gift, re-gift! Santa approves.
