The Stanley Cup Finals are getting better ratings in 2013 than they have in years. Sure, you could point to the fact that the teams are from major American cities, or that the quality of play has been stellar, or that the NHL’s TV deal with Comcast/NBC is actually paying off. But maybe something else is going on, too. Maybe all the celebs hanging out at rinks during the playoffs have made hockey seem cool again. Now, I’m not saying these famous hockey fans are solely responsible for improved ratings. That would be crazy. I’m just saying that, looking at the bigger picture, their presence probably helps build the brand. So who among the who’s who has been spotting taking in some Stanley Cup Playoff action this year? Well, click on the arrows to find out.

Food Network If you’re surprised by this, you shouldn’t be. So about a year ago, a woman named Lisa Jackson, an employee of Uncle Bubba’s Oyster and Shrimp House, sued the restaurant’s owner for harassment. That owner? None other than celebrity chef Paula Deen. The suit alleged that Deen’s brother Bubba sexually harassed employees and made racist jokes and Paula herself liked to use the N-word a lot. The suit, which was for $1.2 million, came close to the chef’s revelation that she has Type 2 diabetes (in part because of the horrific food she cooks), and some thought it was just a publicity stunt. The chef denied everything to the press, and for a while, it looked like the suit would get thrown out of court, letting Deen and her co-owner brother off scott free. Well, that ain’t happening now. According to Radar Online, Deen was deposed on May 17th in a session that lasted three hours and was videotaped. Under oath, she admitted to using the N-word multiple times, giving examples, and admits to telling racial jokes about Blacks, Jews and more. Oh, and she also planned a wedding where all the waiters were Black people dressed as slaves. Because that is a totally appropriate and cool thing to do in 2013. But it’s her brother who really gets the shaft – he also spends some time in front of the camera, confessing to referring to President Obama multiple times using the ol’ N-word. Paula also threw him under the bus during the session, telling her interrogators that he’s addicted to cocaine, alcohol and pornography. With these revelations, it’s looking more and more likely that Lisa Jackson’s going to walk away with a healthy payday when this sucker finally makes it to court – if the Deen’s don’t settle first.

Steve Jobs conducted this interview in 1994. It’s about his legacy and, realistically, he didn’t have a whole lot of a legacy yet. Maybe this’ll inspire you to greater things. Steve Jobs’ real unrecognized legacy? Fully buttoned denim shirts. Hipsters around the world are in his debt. (via Business Insider)
