Friday's P.M. Hot Clicks: Linda Palacio; Chinese boy band is actually made up of girls

This boy band is actually made up of girls

Pictured above is the Chinese boy band Acrush. The only hitch is that the five members of this boy band are actually girls. They was inspired by Li Yuchun, a pop star in China who maintains a rather androgynous style. So what's the sports connection, you ask? The group's proper name is FCC-Acrush because they are part of a sports brand called the Fantasy Football Confederation and as such, must learn soccer and incorporate it into their act.

Big news on future of Hot Clicks

As you probably know by now, Jimmy Traina is returning to Sports Illustrated. His first day back is Monday. Jimmy started Hot Clicks in April, 2007 and ran the ship until 2013, when he left for Fox Sports and I took over. I'm really excited for a few reasons. First, Jimmy is one of my best friends so it'll be great to have him around again. Second, he's going to be writing a daily column to replace P.M. Clicks. The column will be similar in content (sports, pop culture, nothing too serious) but won't have the same look and feel as Hot Clicks. Overall, it's good for Sports Illustrated and it's good for you, the reader. I believe the term people use is "win-win." If you have any questions, please email me (andy_gray@simail.com) and make sure you follow Jimmy on Twitter. And follow me, also.

Hot Clicks Giveaway

Summer is almost here and you're going to want to be sure that your flip flop game is on point. Luckily, I have just the brand for you. Hari Mari has partnered with baseball glove maker Nokona to make a new line of super-soft leather flops. The flip flops also feature near-field communication technology for interaction between the brand and consumer via its app (the tech company, PROVA, is owned by Emmitt Smith). They are pretty sweet and you should buy a pair today. Or you can take your chances on a giveaway. I have three pairs for three Hot Clicks readers. I'll send to the 100th, 200th and 300th person to email me (andy_gray@simail.com) the name of the country hit with a real-life Sharknado. The answer was in A.M. Clicks. Please make the subject line "Hari Mari."

I'm giving away (3) pairs of flip flops from @HariMariShoes in PM Clicks. They are made from old baseball gloves. Link will be posted soon. pic.twitter.com/cBXVes9hjG
