* LeBron James Booed At Carmelo Anthony Wedding In New York. Knicks fans got their first chance to express their anger toward James when he arrived for Carmelo Anthony’s wedding. Fox Sports reported that, “James was greeted by a round of loud boos from angry New Yorkers outside the wedding in Cipriani 42nd Street when he arrived with his girlfriend Savannah Brinson.” [Huffington Post]


* Top 10 List: Popular Things The Last Time The National League Won An All-Star Game. 6. Bob Dole impressions. Long story short, Bob Dole was an old guy who ran for president against Bill Clinton. He was a war hero and a true American hero. And we, as a nation, made fun of him for roughly 360 days. When you put it like that, it really makes us sound like jerks. (But not as big of jerks as the people who prevent us from finding clips of Norm MacDonald’s Bob Dole as a “Real World” cast member sketch). [Rumors & Rants]
* iPhone app created for psychic German octopus. An iPhone app development company called uTouchLabs just released an app called “Ask the Octopus,” which lets users input two options for any query and then has a cartoon “octopus oracle” choose one much in the way that Paul would gravitate toward one of the two flags with which he was presented.
