No tricks. Bra will be shipped within 5-7 business days.

From The Wall Street Journal:

The black sports undergarment that Brandi Chastain famously exposed to the world after a game-winning goal in the 1999 World Cup had been taken into custody by U.S. bankruptcy court. To secure its release from a storage facility in Newark, N.J., Ms. Chastain would have to pay $250 — plus shipping. "Thank goodness I have another one," she jokes.

Several celebrity sports items were grabbed in the bankruptcy case, among them Tony Hawk's childhood skateboard and Richard Petty's sunglasses. They had all been on loan to New York's Sports Museum of America, which recently declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If the celebrities don't claim them, they'll be auctioned. Hawk is not amused. And he ain't getting his board back like this.

<![CDATA[New Guitar Hero Ad Gives You A Whole New Reason To Hate Tom Cruise]]> We mentioned this only in passing last week, because a) it was Friday afternoon, b) we didn't have an embeddable version of the video yet, and c) it's pretty embarrassing for everyone involved, including the viewer. You've probably seen Alex Rodriguez, Tony Hawk, Michael Phelps and Kobe Bryant bring Tom Cruise's greatest cinematic triumph to life, 21st Century style, but here it is again it all its glory. What do you want bet they made A-Rod play bass?

Now that Michael Jordan is exclusively selling Hanes merchandise, these are pretty much the four most marketable athletes in the (non-soccer) world, so it's quite an (expensive) coup to get them all in one ad. But how many people in the GH target demo even remember "Risky Business"? Heck, half of Kotaku's readers probably think Cruise was born on Oprah's couch. Plus, we've all seen Michael Phelps in his underwear, so big whoop on that front.
