O.J. Obsessed With Kim Kardashian
Yes, that's right. The 67-year-old former football star "has been drooling over pinups" of Kardashian, according to RadarOnline. He even took a dig at Kardashian's ex, Reggie Bush, saying, " She likes black ball players; I am a Hall of Famer -- and I still have my Heisman award." Making this extra creepy is that Kim's father, Robert Kardashian, was O.J.'s lawyer and Simpson has known her since she was little.

Hot Clicks Giveaway: Planters Prize Packs
The good people at Planters teamed up with Frank Thomas to not only create this memorable photo, but also to celebrate the release of four new peanut flavors -- chipotle, smoked, cocoa and salted caramel. Even better, the four flavors will be a part of today's giveaway in addition to a duffel bag, water bottle, notebook and some classic peanuts. Yes, Planters hooked it up. I will send packs to the first three people who email me (andy_gray@simail.com) the MLB stadium where this week's Concession Food Item of the Week is located. The answer is in this morning's Hot Clicks. Please make the subject line "Planters."
Update (7:39 p.m.): Contest is closed. Winners will be notified. More contests on the way.
