Ever since the Boston Celtics bounced the Cleveland Cavaliers from the NBA playoffs last week, the question on the mind of every sports writer, basketball fan and resident of Cleveland has been the same: Where will LeBron James end up once his contract expires and he enters into free agency on July 1? Despite his underwhelming performance in the playoffs this year, James may be the most coveted free agent in the history of the NBA, as he is undoubtedly one of the games greatest players and an incredibly dynamic presence who could easily change the face of a franchise.
There are only a few teams that have the right combination of salary cap room, an attractive city and the appropriate support staff (or the willingness to go out and get said support). There are also a handful of other reasons that disqualify certain teams (the Lakers theoretically could pay for LeBron,...

In a number of ways falling in love with a film is the same as falling in love with a lady. You can’t always chose who you hold a candle for. In fact, a lot of time, the heart dictates the object of its affection in spite of logic or pragmatism. Often the recipient of the heart’s desire isn’t the most obvious choice; they aren’t neccesarily the best looking or the smartest. Yet they always have something else going on, a je ne se quais, a something else you may or may not be able to put your finger on. It may be just a small idiosyncacy like the way she screws up her nose when annoyed or the kooky inflections that pepper her sentences.

Sad news out of Hollywood today, as actress Brittany Murphy — the star of modern classics like "Clueless" and "8 Mile" — passed away at the age of 32. The details remain incomplete, but there is a report that she was admitted to Los Angeles' Cedars Sinai Hospital in full cardiac arrest. Celebrity friends — including co-stars Ashton Kutcher ("Just Married") and Alicia Silverstone ("Clueless") — are already weighing in with reactions to the tragic news.
Murphy got her first big break in 1995's "Clueless," the Amy Heckerling-directed California adaptation of Jane Austen's "Emma." The film was a huge hit, as was the soundtrack that featured Radiohead, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Supergrass, Counting Crows and Smoking Popes. In one of the movie's definitive scenes, she raps along to Coolio's "Rollin' With My Homies" and does a little arm dance that ended up becoming associated with both the song and with Murphy.
That wasn't Murphy's only run-in with hip-hop.
