Kanye West needs to get his diaper changed or something, because this is the second day in a row that the rapper has indulged in one of his infamous rants. This time, he's back with his I'm The Greatest theme.
I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice. It's me settling into that position of just really accepting that it's one thing to say you want to do it, and it's another thing to really end up being like Michael Jordan.
There were people who had the potential to do it but they went on vacation, so when Justin [Timberlake] went on vacation I made albums. And it just came out to be that.
Yes, Kanye. It's a good thing Justin Timberlake stepped out of the spotlight so you could sneak in. If that former boy bander wouldn't have taken a vacation, there was no hope for anyone. Just look at that threatening face.

Joaquin Phoenix, whom we can no longer look at without thinking of Johnny Cash, used a Paul Newman benefit to announce his retirement from acting. As you do.
I want to take this opportunity … to give you the exclusive and just talk a little bit about the fact that this will be my last performance as an actor. I'm not doing films anymore. … I'm working on my music. I'm done. I've been through that.
We have a feeling this "retirement" is going to stick the same way it did for Brett Favre and Michael Jordan.

Retired UNC-Chapel Hill men's basketball coach Dean Smith, who once coached Nike Jesus Michael Jordan, has spent a huge part of his life looking up to black guys. Thus, it makes perfect sense that he's come out in support of Barack Obama's bid for POTUS.
Sometimes we feel cruel comparing Britney Spears to her, as it seems like asking Michael Jordan's 4'11" brother why he's not a a basketball legend.
The incomparable and intrepid Matt Lauer took on Princes William and Harry the other night in an NBC News special. Certainly emboldened by the reports that his approach would prove far more professional than that of the 25-year-old tart given prior access to the brothers, Lauer delved deep, asking (and I'm paraphrasing only slightly), "How does it feel to be more famous than Michael Jordan?" and "Is it tough to make true bros?" Wonderful! Don't anyone ever again say that blogs don't matter when this is what passes for serious news. Unless you're from Al Jazeera.

Michael Jordan, seen here clubbing in Cabo San Lucas, is apparently forgetting that for a period of about 10 to 12 years his was the face of Hanes, Gatorade, Nike, McDonald's, Wheaties and Coca-Cola. For recently in the Bahamas, the "Air" himself tried to pull a fast one on model Sara Kova (seen below):
[Kova] was taken aback when single-again Michael Jordan did a fast break in her direction. "He was walking so intensely, I was a little nervous," she recalls. "He said, ‘Hi, who are you? I'm Leroy.' I knew he was Michael Jordan, but I played along. He asked if I wanted to come out on a boat with his friends. I passed on that one, but we did party together later at Aura."
"Leroy"? The best basketball player that ever lived is telling would-be lays his name is "Leroy"? How the mighty have fallen. This is racist, sad and heartbreakingly real at once.
