2 lucky NBA fans spotted superstar forward Lebron James biking to work at the American Airlines Arena where the Miami Heat played Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls this past weekend. How cool is that? Imagine going to the arena to watch LeBron play, and there he is sitting on a bike at the red light! Traffic was congested around the American Airlines Arena due to the Miami marathon. So Lebron, who lives in a Miami suburb, hopped on his bike and rode with two of his associates to the arena to help his teammates defeat their Eastern conference rivals 97-93.

‘Red Tails’ Finish #2 at the Box Office Behind ‘Underworld Awakening’
Director George Lucas’ corny, fictionalized account of the heroics of the Tuskegee Airmen in World War II finished a respectable #2 at the box office this weekend.
According to Box Office Mojo, Red Tails took in more than $19 million over the 3-day weekend. The #1 box office hit this weekend was ‘Underworld Awakening,’ which raked in $25.4 million.
Lucas, who financed Red Tails with $6 million of his own money, could have made a more realistic movie rather than the romanticized Star Wars remake that it became. But he chose to go with the bells and whistles rather than the harsh realities of flying escort for heavy bombers in Hitler’s cold war in 1944-45.

New Film ‘Toddlers’ Depicts Baby-Faced Gangsters With Guns
A new independent film depicting child gangsters as young as 12 is creating a stir in Harlem. The independent straight to DVD film titled ‘Toddlers’ depicts baby-faced gangsters involved in shoot outs, murder, drug dealing and sex.
The film’s director Tremaine “M5″ Brown claims he didn’t set out to promote violence, but he also admits there is no message in the kiddie version of Harlem Nights, which was filmed on location in Harlem using child actors.
“That’s what’s going on, I’m just showing it,” Brown told the Daily News. “You hear about these murders, but people don’t see how it happens. I show how these incidents happen. These are real life situations.
“The parents don’t get to see what these kids are really doing,” said Brown, 29. ‘Toddlers‘ was released last month with limited distribution.
The lead gangster in the film, 14-year-old Pito, is played with graphic realism by Jordan Pena, now 16. Pito is forced to grow up quickly when his drug dealing father is killed.
Pito takes charge of the family business, which involves daily violent confrontations with other kiddie drug dealers in the neighborhood.
Pena tells the NY Daily News that the film doesn’t promote violence — he says his character portrays how real-life can alter a kid’s world in the hood.
