Fox News’ Megyn Kelly moderated a debate today, with radio host Jason Lewis and Democratic strategist Bernard Whitman, over President Obama’s innocuous remark about Robert Gibbs’ “relatively modest pay,” and the “outrage” it has spawned.

An orthodox Jewish rabbi claims his image was used without consent by Jimmy Kimmel in a late night joke about LeBron James last summer–and now the rabbi, who goes by the nickname the “Flying Rabbi,” is suing. According to The Hollywood Reporter‘s THR blog, Rabbi Dovid Sondik claims Kimmel and ABC made him “look foolish” and portrayed him as a “laughingstock.”

This is the type of Miami Heat team we expected to see, emerging last night in an 88-78 win over the Bucks. Specifically, it emerged in the moment depicted above, captured brilliantly by the AP’s Morry Gash,.

LeBron James wanted to alleviate any lingering tension with his former teammates during last night’s Heat-Cavs game. Which is something that Cavaliers assistant Jamahl Mosley didn’t take kindly to.

Tonight’s the night. LeBron James has taken the floor, and all of our questions (Will he play nervous? Will he defer to Dwyane Wade? Will he do the chalk thing?) will soon be answered.

As she has done for the last 17 years, Barbara Walters has once again drafted her Ten Most Fascinating People of the Year list. And it’s quite a list: Sarah Palin made the cut, as did Justin Bieber, LeBron James, and the entire cast of Jersey Shore. And if that doesn’t sound… enticing enough, Walters is also keeping hidden the identities of two mystery guests, which she’ll disclose on when her special airs on Dec. 9th.

Whammy. The latest LeBron James commercial spoof couldn’t have been done any better, as “South Park” plays a little game of cultural compare and contrast between the BP oil spill and James’ latest Nike ad.

Just as surely as the LeBron commercial was going to generate discussion, it was going to generate parodies. You’ve seen one high-profile riff, and via Lee Fisher, U.S. Senate candidate from Ohio, you can see another above. And it’s pretty good.

Alvin Greene has entered the modern era of political campaigning, apparently releasing a video that summarizes his policies. Folks, it does not disappoint. And it’s legit – at least according to the NY Times. Starting with a segment from one of his first interviews, in which an incredulous ABC reporter asks if he’s “up for [...]

Well, this was probably inevitable, in so far as LeBron James has made himself very mockable. Here is singer John Mayer — he of the “David Duke cock” — released a spoof of last week’s LeBron-a-thon to promote his upcoming concert schedule.

The New York Post, whose cover following the Lebron-a-thon earlier this week was rather disappointing, did not mince words this morning. LeBron James was apparently in town to attend the “blinged-out” wedding of fellow NBA star Carmelo Anthony held at Cipriani 42nd Street.

Vice President Joe Biden is on Team Leno, picks the Netherlands to win the World Cup and was hoping the US could trade that sexy Russian spy for Rush Limbaugh. As a special guest on the Tonight Show last night, Biden, who provides so much material for late-night hosts already, really delivered on the comedy, and spoke candidly about the war abroad and the need for civility in American public discourse.

The sports story here is that the Cleveland Cavaliers, the regular season Eastern Conference champions, are out of the NBA playoffs, falling 94-85 to the Boston Celtics on the road in game six. The still-sports-related subtext is that LeBron James, the #1 draft pick of the 2003 draft, reigning, two-time MVP, and the supposed savior of basketball in Ohio, will be eligible for free agency come the season’s conclusion.

William C. Rhoden wrote an open letter to LeBron James in yesterday’s New York Times, imploring him to play for the Charlotte Bobcats and its majority owner, Michael Jordan.

The pageantry. The drama. The 2010 NBA All-Star game! While everybody else watched figure skating, basketball’s best players got together for the most exciting (and sloppy) pickup game on earth. Here are the highlights, the lowlights, and the things you may have missed from last night’s game

TMZ is not just for breaking news about celebrity deaths (and incorrectly breaking news about semi-celebrity deaths). It’s also here for you sports fans.

TMZ announced this morning they have obtained a video of the incident at a basketball camp earlier this month of NBA superstar LeBron James getting dunked on by a college player. Want to see? Well, not yet.

If arguably the best basketball player in the world gets dunked on, and no one’s there to watch it on YouTube, did it really happen? That’s the question coming out of the LeBron James Skills Academy this week, where two freelance videographers say Nike, who ran the camp, confiscated tapes they shot of a particularly [...]
