DiCaprio, Q-Tip bro it up at intimate showcase
Longtime friends Leonardo DiCaprio and Q-Tip hung out at an intimate showcase for an Australian band making its New York City debut late Wednesday. The Oscar-winning actor and Grammy-winning rapper were in the small audience at Ludlow House as trio Chase Atlantic performed songs in a stripped, raw form.
DiCaprio bobbed his head from his plush chair while sitting next to Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Nina Agdal and chatting with the leader of A Tribe Called Quest.
Q-Tip went to the stage to watch when the band asked people to come closer, as DiCaprio sat back.
LeBron featured as crying baby in new TV ad
LeBron James is having a laugh at his reputation for being a “crybaby.”
The Cavaliers’ star is featured in a new Intel commercial in which he breaks down and cries after making a game-winning shot. As James hugs a teammate in celebration, and the camera circles in slow motion, the face of a crying baby is super-imposed over his.
James has shown real tears before — most famously last June after carrying Cleveland to its first pro sports championship since 1964. He’s been accused of whining by opposing fans while winning three NBA titles and advancing to the Finals six straight seasons.
Intel wants to showcase 360-degree technology that allows fans to view games from every angle. The 30-second commercial with James will debut Saturday during the Final Four. The company says it wants to “draw a parallel between our highperformance brand and this highperforming athlete.”
