LeBron James Has A Children's Furniture Line

It is no secret I am a MEGA Fan of LeBron James. He is very talented, organized and created a smart business team. They all understand the entertainment business. In one of the more bizarre athlete endorsement of all time, LeBron James has "designed" his own signature line of children's bedroom furniture.

The collection is called "Home Court by LeBron James" and you can see his advertisements here.

The company that makes the beds, American Signature, is based in Ohio, but sells their wares at Value City Furniture stores all over the country.

They signed a deal with then Cleveland-based hero back in February. After James moved to Miami this summer they saw no need to cancel the deal, but the collection hard to find on their website. Once again, the team LeBron wins again.

LeBron James Purchases $50 Million Home in Miami

Newly acquired Miami Heat player LeBron James is starting off his stay in Miami very comfortable. According to reports, James is now the proud owner of a $50 million dollar mansion that was once owned by famed NBA coach Pat Riley.

The home which is tucked in the exclusive Coral Gables community has over 880 feet of water surrounding the property as well as holsters a whopping 8 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.

The total amount of property that King James has acquired is 20,862 square feet. Not bad for a transition, let's see what the Cleveland fans have to say about this.

Lash Out with Ja'Maal Buster!!!

Eyelash Guru Ja'Maal Buster's new line makes going glam easy - and affordable
By Lisa Petty
NBC Dallas, TX


“My life revolves around lashes!”

We first met Ja’Maal Buster years ago when he was getting his start here in Dallas. Back then, a steady stream of our city’s most fashionable women would line up each day to receive a set of his flawless false lashes. Today, the story’s much the same for this busy stylist, except home base is now Beverly Hills and his clients are among the most famous faces in the world.

On any given day, you might find this “Eyelash Guru to the Stars” in New York, Miami, Paris or Dubai – anywhere a glamorous party, award show or special event requires the glitterati to look their very best. For example, Beyoncé wore Ja’Maal’s lashes each night on her most recent tour. Martha Stewart also often wears a pair when filming her television show, and Rihanna rocks ‘em every single day (rain or shine). A small but crucial beauty detail, the impact of a great set of lashes can’t be underestimated. Unfortunately, though, many women are intimidated by the application process. And let’s be honest – we can’t all call a celebrity Guru when we’re getting ready for a night on the town.

But now, great lashes are right at our fingertips.
Enter Ja’Maal’s new line of affordable at-home lashes, ideal for regular girls who like a little touch of glam. “Each lash in my line has a name, has a meaning,” he explains, pointing out favorites like the Trophy Wife, the Gold Digger and the Little Black Lash. Each fits a certain style and personality, from flirtatious to outrageous and everything in between. The best part? They’re only $10 per pair, and with Ja’Maal’s Placement Tool (only $10 as well), application is also a breeze. So, between making the rich and famous even more fabulous and developing his own line of lashes, we had to wonder whether our old friend Ja’Maal missed Big D (‘cause we sure do miss him). The answer? “I do miss Dallas. That’s where I got my start…my stories from there are very close to my heart.”

What a sweetie. You can check out Ja’Maal’s new lash line at www.jamaalbuster.com. We’re partial to the Madison Avenue…but we might feel like Glow in the Dark come Saturday night. You never know. GO YOU... Lil Mogul!!!

Sizzle Miami 2010

Miami is a coastal city in southeastern Florida and is the seventh-largest metro area in the United States with over 5.4 million residents. In 2008, Miami was ranked as "America's Cleanest City" according to Forbes Magazine for its year-round good air quality, vast green spaces, clean drinking water, clean streets and city-wide recycling programs. In 2008, Miami was also ranked the 3rd-richest city in the United States and the world's 22nd-richest city in a UBS study.

On May 27 – June 1, 2010, Memorial Day Weekend, meet The Future in Miami for the 2010 Sizzle Miami Party. Miami is one of great world capitals for gay circuit parties, with a steady roster of parties held throughout the year. One event that's been gaining rapidly in popularity each year is Sizzle Miami, a five-day event held over Memorial Day Weekend and catering to gay men of color. Since 2002, Sizzle Miami includes dozens of wild parties - its success has led promoters to bill it "America's most celebrated and anticipated black gay event." With all that success, Sizzle adds the concurrent women's circuit event, Sizzle Her, developed in 2007 and now takes place during four days over Memorial Day Weekend. Like Sizzle Miami, Sizzle Her is geared toward lesbians of color, although everybody - regardless of race - is welcome to attend either event. Sizzle and Sizzle Her parties both take place in downtown Miami throughout the same weekend, but all of the parties are held at different venues.

Launched today, Sizzle Miami revealed their 2010 COVER Model!!!! Get your rooms early; this is not an event to miss!!! Sizzle is rated the HOTTEST Circuit Party of its kind... Be sure to check out the WEBSITE AND THE NEW VIDEO!!!
