Lebron James on Steroids?

Apparently, there is a rumor floating around the internet that Lebron James has tested positive for steroids and has been suspended for 50 games. Sure he is a muscular, amazing hulk of an athlete but let's clear up things right now.

Lebron has NOT tested positive for steroids and has NOT been suspended. In fact, James, who has been nursing an ankle injury and missed a few games, is expected to be back on the court tonight for a game against the 76er's.

I'm always amazed at how these types of rumors get started and with the internet and 24/7 media, it takes literally no time at all for them to spread around the planet. It may be related to another Lebron, Cleveland Indians minor league catcher Steven Lebron who failed a drug test and was suspended for 50 games. The Indians have apparently voided his contract.

In any case, Lebron and the Cavs look to be headed to a number 1 seed in the East and it should be an exciting post season.

Corey Haim dead at 38

Troubled child star Corey Haim has died at the age of 38. Haim had struggled with substance abuse for years reportedly suffering a drug-induced stroke back in 2001. According to his agent, he had been suffering from a fever and flu-like symptons in the hours leading up to his death.

The Canadian-born Haim first broke into the Film industry back in 1984. He may be best remembered for his roles in "Lucas" (1986) with fellow teen actors Charlie Sheen and Winona Ryder, and the 1987 vampire film "The Lost Boys" with fellow actor Corey Feldman.

Haim and Feldman teamed up again back in 2007-2008 for a short-lived reality show "The Two Coreys" which aired on the A&E cable network. The show was cancelled after 19 episodes.

Feldman released a statement on his blog today which read in part "This is a tragic loss of a wonderful, beautiful, tormented soul, who will always be my brother, family, and best friend. We must all take this as a lesson in how we treat the people we share this world with while they are still here to make a difference."

Pringles Recall Announced

Proctor & Gamble has announced a recall of Pringles. The recall affects two flavors of the popular stacked potato chips: Restaurant Cravers Cheeseburger and Family Faves Taco Night.

The Pringles recall stems from it's use of a flavor enhancer HVP (hydrolyzed vegetable protein) made by Basic Food Flavors, Inc., which the FDA believes may have been contaminated by salmonella.

Consumers who believe they have purchased contaminated Pringles should check to see if the product has a "Best by" 2011 stamp. If so you should throw out the product and call Proctor & Gamble at 1-877-876-7881 to get a refund or replacement coupon.

Pringles is just one of a number of processed food products that use the HVP in question and more recalls may be on the way. Check the FDA website for a complete list of affected foods.
