Sorry, Serena: Our bad! Our colleague Dan Zak caught an accidental jab in the rib cage from the tennis superstar's powerful elbow Sunday at the Vanity Fair Oscars party --- but it seems Serena Williams had the worst of it these past few days. Late last week she was treated for a blood clot in her lung, her rep told reporters; on Monday, she was back in the hospital for treatment of a hematoma.
Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum have been suspended from their Fox News political-commentator duties, the cable giant announced Wednesday, because they're both seriously weighing 2012 runs for president that pose a conflict of interest. What about Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee, two other maybe-candidates with regular Fox gigs? Neither has yet taken steps to form an exploratory committee, so they're in the clear for now.

Today in celebrity litigation: Katie Holmes has sued Star magazine for its "Katie DRUG SHOCKER" cover earlier this year. The actress says the story, alleging "a cycle of addictive treatments" is untrue, and that it doesn't support the cover hype, reports the AP. The magazine says it stands by its story.
