Serena Williams Won't Be Doing Manicures on Reality TV

We learn from our sister blog SportsNewser that the Lifetime network rejected a reality series about tennis star Serena Williams’ double life as a nail salon pro. What?

One of the biggest names in sports has chosen a side career in a pink collar industry dominated by struggling immigrants. This is reality television GOLD. Serena gave Oprah Winfrey a pedicure, for crissakes. Nothing that mind boggling will ever happen on The Bachelorette.

Needless to say, we would’ve tuned in.

Surprisingly, Williams really is a professional manicurist.
