Super Junior’s Kim Heechul and Kangin are currently getting ready to transform unconventionally into musical actors.

Kim Heechul and Kangin are waiting to debut through the musical “Xanadu” that will start showing in September. “Xanadu” is a 1980s musical movie starring Gene Kelly and Olivia Newton John, and currently the original work is being performed on Broadway.

“Xanadu,” which is the first musical SM Entertainment will be producing, is a work overflowing with charm and filled with the 80s music of synthesizer pop, disco, jazz, and even a big band. Last year SM Entertainment announced their entrance to the musical industry and stated that the casting of “Xanadu” will be broadcasted through a reality show style process.

FINKL’s Ock Juhyun, SES’ Bada, and recently Big Bang’s Seungri all had a good start to their musical debut, and now with Super Junior, the idol singers’ advancement into the musical industry is increasing.

Time : September 9th 2008 —> September 11th 2008

Free Agents: 2009 and 2010

Those who have been observing the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, New Jersey Nets and New York Knicks, among others, maneuver to create salary-cap space already have heard about "the Summer of LeBron." That's 2010, the year that LeBron James can opt out of his contract with the Cavs.

But the offseason of 2010 is not just the Summer of LeBron: It's also the Summer of Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire, Ray Allen, Tyson Chandler, Manu Ginobili, Richard Jefferson, Joe Johnson, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki and Michael Redd, each of whom can become an unrestricted free agent in 2010.

And in 2009, the list is illustrious, too: Kobe Bryant, Carlos Boozer, Allen Iverson, Ron Artest, Richard Hamilton, Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, Andre Miller, Lamar Odom and Rasheed Wallace can become unrestricted free agents next year.

And that's not to mention all the restricted free agents, as you can see below.

Of course, not all of these players will reach free agency. But some will, which is why we're already hearing buzz about the summers of 2009 and 2010.

Take a look and see whom your team could lose … or which players it might ink in '09 and '10.

The day continued on to be...nice.  I mean, I usually give people smiles an little "hey"s just at random, and for one of the first times this summer...they were well-received!  

Lets us map progress: this morning I thought "this group is very difficult to like, as if they don't want to be liked", and by nighttime I thought "these are the people I should be with...finally". 

Its so up and down with these people.  I constantly feel like I'm on the outside, which is rough for someone who's usually a leader in the pack.  Its just like we were all made from different fabric, and I'm the wool in a group of spandex blends.  Odd, I know.  But...I've just never felt comfortable.

I think I desire physicality.  Not intimacy, but just reassurance.  Like...sitting inbetween two people in the backseat of a car, I like to be able to let my  legs rest on the person next to me.  It's all about...comfort and feeling okay with being here and now.  And...I'm not sometimes.  

But really, today was good.  No drama, just fun.

I had to post this video of my new boyfriend Marty Thomas. Marty is an up and coming broadway actor who, most recently, was in the cast of Xanadu. I kind of think he's amazing. Here's him singing Pat Benetar's We Belong live at Joe's Pub in NYC. Happy Hump Day!

The jersey -- half red for the Chicago Bulls and half blue for the Washington Wizards -- was hung from the rafters, and Miami coach Pat Riley said no Heat player will wear the number again.

"In honor of your greatness and for all you've done for the game of basketball -- and not just the NBA, but for all the fans around the world -- we want to honor you tonight and hang your jersey, No. 23, from the rafters," Riley said at midcourt. "No one will ever wear No. 23 for the Miami Heat. You're the best." Jordan then hugged Riley and waved to the crowd.

It was the first jersey the Heat have retired in their 15-year history.

Jordan averaged 30.2 points on 51.5 percent shooting in 37 regular-season games against the Heat during his career. He was even better in the playoffs, averaging 34.2 points in 11 games. Before the ceremony, the Heat also played a highlight video of Jordan on the big screen. It was complete with high-flying, tongue-hanging dunks, ankle-breaking moves, shoulder shrugs, fist pumps and his trademark smile.

Johnson will back up starter Jameer Nelson as he enters his 12th NBA season. He played in 69 games last season for the Atlanta Hawks and Sacramento Kings.

Johnson had a brief stint with Orlando in the 1999-2000 season, appearing in 18 games.

The 33-year-old guard has played with seven different teams, averaging 5.7 points and 2.9 assists.

The other weird tidbit from the casting notice is this mysterious "Principal Woman," described as "Sinead O'Connor with a Middle Eastern/Bulgarian/Greek twist."  Okay.  I have absolutely no clue what that's all about--a new villain?  Should they really be adding to the cannon like this?  Maybe a Spidey fan will read this and school me on how this character fits into everything, and I definitely will reserve judgment, but I'm already questioning where they're taking this.

2.  Whoopi is the new Rosie, as she signs on to join the cast of Xanadu shortly after doing a good job hosting this year's Tony's (go back and check out the running diary if you haven't already).   The difference, of course, is that Whoopi already has a Tony.  I was pretty excited about seeing Xanadu even before this announcement, and I'd like to see it with Whoopi in it, but I'll probably wait out the crowds and check it out after she leaves.  Xanadu is an interesting case right now--the theater is almost full every night (at least as of the latest Variety charts), but ticket receipts are only about half of what they could be.  Lots of discounted tickets to that show.  So Whoopi would, it would seem, allow them to start selling more full price tickets, hopefully while maintaining that seating capacity.  I hope Xanadu keeps doing well--I didn't want it to win the Tony (for obvious reasons), but it sounds like a fun little show.

3.  Tickets are still available for Passing Strange's closing weekend, including the two shows Spike Lee is going to film.  Seriously.  Buy tickets.  See the show.  Be there for the taping and/or the closing.  I'm looking into it myself.  You're going to be real sad when you watch the filmed version and realize you could have been there.

4.  My boy Rajiv wrote a play about origami.  Yes.  Origami.  It's called Animals Out of Paper, and it's pretty damn good.  Full disclosure: I recently wrote a piece about this play for the Brooklyn Rail (should be out soon), and I served as the (super informal) "hip-hop consultant" for the show (I didn't write the rhymes, just discussed them, and basically just quoted Eminem lyrics at that).  So yeah, I'm biased.  And one of my favorite actors in the world, Utkarsh Ambudkar, is in it--you may remember him as Nelson from The Lark production of Welcome to Arroyo's.  Either way, this is a play with a lot of heart, some great performances (from what I saw in the first reading), and a deceptive simplicity that pulls back to reveal incredible emotional complexity underneath.  It's like origami, come to think of it.

5.  Also happening right now in NYC is 12 Ophelias by the wildly prolific Caridad Svich.  If you saw Aya Ogawa's Oph3lia, you kind of have to see this one, if only to make it a total of 15 Ophelias this summer (plus, of course, Lauren Ambrose, who makes 16--sixteen Ophelias!  *cue Count Von Count's thunder*).  It happens to be free and site-specific in Williamsburg's McCarren Park Pool (or as El Puente students would say "MacCarrien Park" -- there's an awfully inside joke for you), and it features bluegrass and a Hamlet with a black eye, so go see it already.  Here's a blog review of it if you haven't made up your mind.

I know there's a lot more, but I'm stopping there--oh wait, no I'm not.

6.  Hair.  It's in Central Park starting July 22.  I'm a little bummed about only having ten days or so to try to see it (and my birthday is right in there, so that knocks a bunch of nights out of the realm of possibility), but I am going to find a way to make it happen.  It's Hair, people.  And it's in Central Park.  Outside.  And there's a war going on--a war with a "back-door draft."  I'm not going to tell you about the virtual line, because (a) I've already written about it (I think) and (b) I don't want you beating me to the punch.  I'll link it all up after I've seen it, suckas.

7.  This last one isn't theater, but it's the biggest deal in entertainment this summer.  I will be seeing the IMAX.  Somehow.  Possibly at 2am next week.

DeRozan, one of the top incoming freshman in the country, confirmed to FOXSports.com that he received a qualifying ACT score and will be eligible to play at USC this season.

"Yes, I am cleared," DeRozan said in a text message.

Just days after Jennings, who also hails from California, said he would opt to play professionally in Europe instead of attending Arizona this season, DeRozan received the news and is set to attend classes on Aug. 25 at USC.

With DeRozan, the Trojans could contend for what should be a wide-open Pac-10 title. Tim Floyd's group lost O.J. Mayo and Davon Jefferson from last year's team, but the athletic DeRozan could step in and fill the void left by Mayo.

USC returns three starters — Taj Gibson, Daniel Hackett and Dwight Lewis — and are also in the running to land North Carolina transfer Alex Stepheson.

DeRozan was Scout.com's No. 6 player in the Class of 2008. However, he played extremely well last week when he was one of about 25 college players invited to play at the LeBron James Skills Academy and could be the player with the greatest NBA potential in the entire class.

Both Demar DeRozan and Brandon Jennings almost couldn't pass their ACT and SAT don't you think something is wrong with that?

This trade would be good for both teams. The Sixers get a shooter and the Lakers get some toughness and defense in the post.

1. Cleveland -- LeBron James, g-f, St. Vincent-St. Mary HS (Ohio)

2. Detroit (from Memphis) -- Darko Milicic, f, Hemofarm Vrsac (Serbia)

3. Denver -- Carmelo Anthony, f, Syracuse

4. Toronto -- Chris Bosh, f, Georgia Tech

5. Miami -- Dwyane Wade, g, Marquette

6. LA Clippers -- Chris Kaman, c, Central Michigan

7. Chicago -- Kirk Hinrich, g, Kansas

8. Milwaukee (from Atlanta) -- T.J. Ford, g, Texas

9. New York -- Mike Sweetney, f, Georgetown

11. Golden State -- Mickael Pietrus, g-f, Pau Orthez (France)

12. Seattle -- Nick Collison, f, Kansas

13. Memphis (from Houston) -- Marcus Banks, g, UNLV

Draft Redo.

1. Clev- Lebron James

2. Det- Chris Bosh (Remember the pistons needed a powerfoward and Rasheed Wallace wasn't there yet.)

3. Den- Carmelo Anthony

4. Tor- Dwyane Wade (The Raptors teams up Vince Carter with Wade.)

5. Mia- Darko Milicic (Remember Darko was really hyped up and he's a 7 footer too up much upside to pass up on. But Pat Riley gets screwed. )

6. LA- Chris Kaman

7. Chi- Kirk Hinrich

8. Mil- TJ Ford

9. NY-David West

10. Was-Josh Howard

11. GS- Leandro Barbosa

12. Sea- Boris Diaw

13. Mem- Kyle Korver

13. Charlotte Hornets- Derek Fisher

Note: In the 1997 Draft the Sixers almost won the lottery and would have drafted Tim Duncan. Imagine how many championships Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant would have won? The Lakers Dynasty of Shaq and Kobe would have never happened with Kobe Bryant in Philadelphia. Instead the Sixers got the second pick which turned out to be Keith Van Horn.
