Chicago dares LeBron James to join them as a Chicago Bull

I saw this photo and was impressed with the direct Chicago approach in their pursuit of getting LeBron James during this season's mega free agency offseason.

We all know that the biggest problem of getting any superstar to commit to the Chicago Bulls is living up to the legacy of the one and only Michael Jordan.

Well, instead of hoping that LeBron James would ignore this glaringly obvious stumbling block of joining a very attractive, young, talented Chicago Bulls Core of Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah, the Leo Burnett Ad Agency came up with this mysterious package that they sent to LeBron's home.

While I personally think money talks and that LeBron will either stay in Cleveland or go to New York (he can pick up many more endorsements as a NY Knick), this is a valient try by my beloved city of Chicago.

And how SUHWEEET are those 1985 Air Jordan Is from back in the day?

iAd Mobile Advertising Demo by Steve Jobs

I watched this video and was blown away at how cool the iAd platform could really be for advertisers within apps.

I was especially taken by the sample Air Jordan ad.

This video is of Apple CEO Steve Jobs taking reporters through the new platform.

Beso - Great restaurant in LA / Vegas, and now a reality show

According to a press release, VH1 is developing a reality series around Eva Longoria-Parker's restaurant Beso.

As I have been to the LA location twice and also the one in Vegas, I can attest to the fact that it is really good creative Mexican food. Now, I know the snobbery around Mexican food is high for those in Southern Cali, but as someone who is not from the area, I give it high ratings.

You might be surprised to find that the food at the bar (in LA) is even better than at the dining room tables!

Press Release:
VH1 is working on a new reality series about the staff of the restaurant Beso, owned by actress Eva Longoria-Parker (ABC's Desperate Housewives). Longoria-Parker's Beso has two locations, one in Hollywood and the other in Las Vegas and at this time it is not determined which location will be featured. Longoria-Parker will not star in the reality show.

Italian Diving School

We all know how badly the Italians dive in football. Well here's how they get so good at it!

South Korea goes through! US next?

It was an unbelieavable match with both Nigeria and South Korea missing on some amazing chances.

In the end, South Korea advances to the Round of 16, as Argentina stepped up and soundly defeated Greece. Park Chu Young for Korea finally got on the score sheet from a free kick that he bent around the wall of Nigeria.

As for tomorrow's match, I predict US and England to advance.

Jeff Zucker to get paid to leave NBC / Comcast

I am always in shock when people who are forced out get paid a ton of money.

Can I please somehow get that gig?

After leading NBC down to 4th place and completely fumbling the Conan O'Brien transition, Jeff Zucker is going to get a major payout to leave Comcast/NBC.

Press Release
"NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker is working on a deal to leave the network a few months after Comcast takes a controlling share of the company, according to the NYPost. The size of his golden parachute will be in the range of $30 to $40 million according the paper, citing "sources." NBCU extended Mr. Zucker's contract earlier this year through 2013."

James Franco in General Hospital

I think James Franco is hilarious. Especially because he is reviving his role on General Hospital.

Press release: "Actor James Franco rejoins ABC's General Hospital beginning June 30 as the daytime soap's summer storyline kicks off.

Franco will also appear this summer in the movie Eat Pray Love with Julia Roberts and just completed production on the film 127 Hours with former General Hospital actress Amber Tamblyn. "
