New York Knicks Break Out Clever PR Moves to Sign LeBron James

The New York Knicks are breaking out the big guns in a run to sign soon to be free agent LeBron James for the the coming NBA season. By big guns, I mean all of the New York Knicks celebrity fans that they can get their hands on.

The recruiting effort/sales pitch for the coming draft pick will include celebrity endorsements from the likes of Donald Trump, Alec Baldwin, Spike Lee, Tracy Morgan, Chris Rock, and a slew of other well known New Yorkers all speaking about how much they love the city.

It's a clever PR move from the Knicks. At 25, LeBron James has his pick of NBA teams, but in the past he has mentioned that he would love to play in NYC. The Knicks could certainly use LeBrons magic as well, as they haven't qualified for the playoffs in over a decade. LeBron would be both very loved in New York (where there would be quite a bit of opportunity here in in business and leisure for him to thrive) and in great company with all of the renowned New Yorkers who reside her from the areas of sport, film, business and beyond.

Even Mayor Michael Bloomberg has gotten on board with a plea to LeBron to join us is this great city saying, "I love living in New York, my kids love living in New York, I think LeBron James would love living in New York and it is the world’s greatest stage.”

Time will tell if this ploy works out, but it certainly can't hurt to have the best of the best pleading the case for the city of New York and it will most definitely create quite a bit of buzz. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

The FDA is going after General Mills for claiming that Cheerios is "clinically proven to lower cholesterol" without getting approved as a new drug. In a letter to General Mills, the FDA says that the labeling on the Cheerios boxes is "in serious violation" of federal rules and that Cheerios, " may not be legally marketed with the above claims in the United States without an approved new drug application." The letter further states, "Based on claims made on your product’s label, we have determined that your Cheerios® Toasted Whole Grain Oat Cereal is promoted for conditions that cause it to be a drug because the product is intended for use in the prevention, mitigation, and treatment of disease." The Cheerios box states the following : "Did you know that in just 6 weeks Cheerios can reduce bad cholesterol by an average of 4 percent?

Vogue: Huge Hollywood Stars Without a Cover

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are on the cover of the April issue of Vogue. Their photo on the largest U.S fashion magazine created quite a stir on social media when the cover photo was released over the weekend.  Many Vogue readers were upset at the choice of West and Kardashian on the cover and I began researching high profile celebrities that have never been on the cover. There have been many actresses, singers and models that you won’t believe haven’t made the cut! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Amy Adams: This gorgeous lady has had an amazing year in movie roles.  She gave a performance of a lifetime in American Hustle, where she wore some beautiful low-cut gowns for her character, Sydney Prosser.  We would love to see her on a cover! 2. Miranda Kerr: It’s hard to believe this famous model has never graced a cover, but it is true.  She has been many magazines for her beloved off-the-runway style a

America So Hot Right Now America

Most will know the title of this post is Reminiscent of our beloved Mugatu 's immortal words, "Hansel... So Hot right now... Hansel." Barack and Michelle Obama have been welcomed everywhere they've been so far in this European tour. The Public Relations face lift for America that most expected to get when they elected Obama is happening right before our eyes. America 's allie's citizens seem relieved that it looks like the US wants to cooperate with the rest of the world, after 8 long years of destructive and stupid Cowboy talk. Technological advances in telecommunications and travel have made the world a much smaller place. It is essential, now more than ever that the world figures out how to work together proper. That is what Barack Obama seems to be reflecting to us at home and the rest of the world. How much easier will it be to have Russia and China as actual allies instead of Frenemies. They might handle North Korea instead of us and the Russians migh
