Go ‘head Dwayne, serve that chicken for a good cause!
Dwyane Wade is looking for work and KFC is hiring. On June 30 Wade tweeted “Any1 hiring?,” adding that “I’m available for all bar and bat mitzvah and weddings..but my specialty is balloon animals.” But how about animals plucked and fried in oil? The folks at Kentucky Fried Chicken know a good advertising gimmick when they see one, and have extended the wing of opportunity to Wade: saying in a press release that they’ll donate $250,000 to charity if Wade will take his talents to a KFC drive-thru.
The Colonel’s letter went as follows:
Dear Dwyane Wade,
We couldn’t help but notice your recent tweet about looking for a new line of work in light of the lockout. We’re always looking for folks with precisely your qualifications — initiative, teamwork and the ability to make buckets in a hurry.
We’ve always been proud to call you a former KFC employee and, it goes without saying we’d love to have you back on our team dishing out the World’s Best Chicken, like you dish out assists on the court.
Our offer: Come serve as an honorary captain at a local KFC drive-thru window. And, while we can’t match your most recent salary, we’ll honor your KFC service by making a donation in your name to Colonel’s Scholars, a charity providing young people with much needed college scholarships, if you accept. How’s that for a slam dunk?
So let us know if you’re ready to suit up for our squad (as you’ll remember, we’ve got some pretty cool uniforms). Our original coach, the legendary Colonel Sanders, knew a thing or two about buckets. And who knows, if you make a KFC-team comeback, we might just share some of his secrets with you.
We’ll keep your headset waiting.
Sincerely,
John Cywinski
General Manager, KFC U.S.
From what we hear, Dwayne used to work a KFC before he was drafted to the the league. A day at the drive-thru should bring back old memories, in addition to helping a charity, $250,000 stacks is serious bidness…

The girls put the ‘fun’ in ‘funeral’ on the July 12 episode!
Spencer’s (Troian Bellisario) family threw a funeral for Ian (Ryan Merriman) on this week’s Pretty Little Liars, but in typical Rosewood fashion, burying a body merely led to more secrets being unearthed. For starters, Ian didn’t even write the suicide note they found on him. Emily (Shay Mitchell) figured out it was actually written by A, using pieces of text messages that had been sent to the girls throughout the series! If this plot was any thicker, it’d be soup.
Aria (Lucy Hale) and Ezra (Ian Harding) continued their journey to Splits-ville this week with a tense little graveside chat. When Ian’s funeral became too much for her to handle, Aria really needed a hug from the man she loves — but Ezra still wasn’t ready to man up and show a little PDA. Instead, he actually used the “I’ll call you later” line and whimpered off to his car, tail between his legs. Coward!
Cue the intense pan over to Jason (Drew Van Acker), who apparently came to the cemetery just because it was the most dramatic place to brood publicly in Rosewood. In between lovingly awkward glances at Aria, Jason relayed exactly what happened the night Alison (Sasha Pieterse) went missing: He got drunk, blacked out, and woke up with a note that said “I know what you did.” In fact, up until Ian’s “confession,” Jason had convinced himself that he was the one who killed his sister! And since Ian’s confession was fake, that’s still totally a possibility.
But while this may not have been the best week for “Ezria” fans, it was a great one for “Haleb” hold-outs. Not only did Hanna (Ashley Benson) convince Caleb’s wicked foster mother to give him all the money she’s been making off of him — with a little help from the totally legitimate law firm of Dolce, Gabbana and Lebowitz — but she and Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) also shared an intense kiss in her kitchen after the funeral. These two need to get another tent already!
Perhaps they could borrow a tent from Emily — if Mike (Cody Christian) hadn’t stolen it! That’s right, we also learned this week that Aria’s little brother is the one who’s been breaking into everyone’s houses. He was also the mysterious hooded gentleman who body-checked Aria into the wall! Of course, it’s still anyone’s guess as to why the mini-est Montgomery has suddenly morphed into a cat burglar…
A’s final message to Emily led the girls back to the cemetery — specifically Alison’s grave — where A had a surprise screening waiting for them. The infamous video of Ian and Alison was projected on a nearby mausoleum, but this time it played all the way through, and the girls learned that Ian didn’t kill her after all!
OK, your turn to talk:
Do you think Jason really did have something to do with Alison’s death? Do you think Mike is secretly working for A? And where the heck was Toby this week? Drop us a comment with your thoughts on this week’s episode!
