Thursday's A.M. Hot Clicks
Pop Trolls LeBron

If you dislike LeBron James, this has been a great week for you. First, his Heat squad was decimated in the finals, reducing him to tears at the end of the Miami bench. Then, a high school student poked fun at The King by cramping up and needing help to the podium during his graduation ceremony. And the coup de grâce occurred yesterday when Spurs coach Gregg Popovich trolled James during the Spurs victory parade in San Antonio.
Keeping The Faith
Kudos to this Kings fan who put a $500 bet on his team winning the Stanley Cup after falling behind 3-0 in their first-round series to the Sharks. The Kings came back in the series to win the Cup and the fan took home a cool $14,500 on the bet.
Hair Carving of the Day
A taxi driver in England got the face of captain Steven Gerrard shaved into the back of his head. Not sure if this beats the Tim Duncan face shaved into the back of the Spurs fan, but it's pretty close. For more of these face shavings into someone's hair, check out the Instagram account of Rob the Original, a true hair artist.
Lovely Lady Of The Day
Thursday's A.M. Hot Clicks
According to her Twitter profile, Bryiana Noelle is a "fun filled little lollipop triple dipped in psycho." These qualifications certainly qualify her to be today's LLOD.
Big Day For The Dodgers
Sure, Clayton Kershaw pitched one of the most dominant no-hitters in baseball history, but that wasn't the biggest event for the Dodgers on Wednesday. Nor was Kershaw's postgame bubble celebration or Corey and Topanga throwing out the first pitch. The biggest event was the arrival of first-round draft pick Greg Holmes (and his incredible hair) to Chavez Ravine. I can't stop looking at his hair. He resembles a young Michael Brady (a.k.a. - Robert Reed) after one of his awkward perms. It may even distract Dodgers fans from making fun of Magic Johnson for this tweet.

Song of the Day
I'm still taking requests for our newest Hot Clicks feature (send to andy_gray@simail.com). This Michael Franti tune is one of my favorites and will likely be stuck in your head for at least 24 hours.
