US tennis icons Venus and Serena Williams are set to give the public a sneak peek into their private world as the latest celebrities to star in their own reality television show.
The sisters are the main attractions of Venus and Serena: For Real which premieres on American ABC Family this week.
The network said today: "Venus and Serena take you off the court and into their private lives for an up-close and personal look at who they really are.
"There's more to their lives than tennis, a lot more."
The station promised viewers would see the famous siblings "like you never have before".
The 25-year-old Venus, who is ranked ninth in the world, has won five grand slam tournaments, including the Wimbledon women's finals this month.
Her sister Serena, 23, has brought home seven grand slam titles.
The sisters join a growing list of celebrities happy to expose their private lives in the living rooms of viewers across the world.
They follow in the footsteps of The Osbournes, former Playboy pin-up Anna Nicole Smith and more recently Britney Spears and husband Kevin Federline, as well as Bobby Brown, the husband of diva Whitney Houston.
How much money and attention do you need?
They are probably going to embarrass themselves, but I do love their tennis.
Did you see the Hulkster & Family on VH1?
I'm not even sure what "VH1" is...
VH1, cable or satalite Video Hits-1 music channel.
I thought one becomes an icon when people give a sh*t about you. Who really cares about the steroid sisters?
Do the Williams sisters have a Paris Hilton-like video coming out?
Is the world ready for their whacked-out racist father?
I hope they have a Christmas Special
as good as their older brothers do.
I don't know. I hope they're saving up for retirement though. Sports figures tend to burn out early, except for golfers.
"Who really cares about the steriod sisters?"... I agree, who cares. They are the most un-atractive "girls" that I have ever seen. Compared to all the other tennis players they must be on steriods. I am really sick of all the reality shows.
The man is nuts.
I for one think both are more attractive than that dumb blonde Russian chick Pornhova.
I may be in the minority, but I think they're hot.
How long you been on the drugs?
