The Miami Heat have a 2-1 lead over the Boston Celtics in the second round of the NBA playoffs, but LeBron James is turning up the heat on and off the court. Gossip blogs are reporting LeBron is having an affair with American Idol winner Jordin Sparks.

The NBA playoffs are the hottest tickets in town in Chicago, but there were two noticeable empty seats last night at the United Center for Game 1 of the Orlando Magic- Chicago Bulls second round matchup. Just before the end of the regular season, the Bulls and Magic faced eachother. After the game, Orlando’s Jameer Nelson was caught on camera telling Bulls’ Derrick Rose, “I’ll catch you in the second round.” But Nelson ran into one small road block, the Atlanta Hawks bounced the Magic in the first round.
Luckily, the Hawks were there to help Nelson out by leaving two tickets in his name at will-call at Chicago’s United Center. Head of Atlanta Hawks PR Arthur Triche tweeted, @HawksPRGuy, “Taking a page out of [former NFL coach] Jerry Glanville’s book, I think I’ll follow through on Jameer’s request to catch Derrick Rose in the 2nd round.”
While the tickets were not claimed, in Nelson’s defense they were in the 300 section!
Justin Bieber’s basketball skills from the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game seemed to have captured the eye of Hollywood. Paramount Pictures has approached the music sensation to star in a movie about street basketball. Bieber will star alongside Mark Wahlberg. And it appears that Marky Mark has Bieber Fever, “He’s been sending me video, he sent me a video of himself, and I think he’s really talented,” the Oscar winning actor said. “He loves the idea.”
This will not be Bieber’s first acting gig, starring in two episodes of CSI, where he showed off his skilled acting chops. In the movie, Wahlberg will play Bieber’s reluctant mentor.
