Celebrity endorsements are a powerful thing. For instance, when you see someone wearing a set of fly Nike high tops, Michael Jordan invariably comes to mind. And when you see a Buick Rendezvous roll by, no doubt an image of Tiger Woods is conjured. Alright, so maybe the greatest golfer ever got the short end of that 9 iron, but it doesn't matter much anymore as General Motors has announced that its ending Buick's nine-year endorsement deal with Tiger Woods effective December 31, 2008. GM says the decision to separate was amicable and mutual (they always say that). For his part, Tiger has a second cub on the way and GM, well... GM would rather keep its assembly plants open a few extra days than pay an athlete to stand next to a Buick Lacrosse. Smart choice, we'd say. And now, when Congress asks Rick Wagoner for examples of how GM is sacrificing during these tough economic times, he can tell them, "We fired Tiger Woods!". You check out GM's official Dear John letter to Tiger after the jump.

Michael Jordan has played with Tiger Woods in a pro-am at the Wachovia Championship and competed in the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. His toughest test might come next June at Bethpage Black in the days before the U.S. Open.

Jordan has agreed to take part in the 'Golf Digest U.S. Open Challenge,' according to an official involved in the event. He will join Justin Timberlake, another celebrity and one amateur who best explains in a six-word essay why he or she can break 100.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the celebrities have not been announced.

We have already covered have Plastic Logic showing off their electric paper or E-newspaper, and it appears that Esquire is getting in on the e-paper action. 

The famed magazine Esquire is planning to put out their October issue with a 100,000 issues of a special e-ink cover.  As far as I know, this isn’t to celebrate anything big or anything, like their 100th issue. 

This could easily be a milestone for e-paper.  I remember back in the eighties when National Geographic started using holograms on their covers.  Other glossies caught on and In the nineties, Sports Illustrated had their famed “Athlete of the Decade” with a cover featuring Michael Jordan as a hologram.

So, perhaps this Esquire cover will be a prophecy as they say “The 21st Century Begins Now”.  Let’s see if other magazines will catch on.

A single father from Washington State broadcasts his relationship status to the country only to be swamped with letters from adoring female fans.

Sleepless in Seattle, it's not. But Jason Mesnick, a.k.a. the nice guy DeAnna Pappas shot down in favor of Jesse Csincsak on The Bachelorette season finale, may be an even bigger hit with ladies than the Tom Hanks flick.

The 32-year-old single father (his son Ty is 3) has set up a new email account for any fans wishing to contact him.

“I’ve gotten thousands of comments from fans,” Jason Mesnick said.

“The generosity and the kindness is unbelievable. Every one is so sweet and nice. All the comments are pure love.”

After DeAnna Pappas told him in the finale that her “heart is somewhere else,” Jason Mesnick fans overloaded his MySpace account with comments and bombarded ABC with email. Producers finally set up a separate e-mail account just for him.

Fans can contact him directly at fanofjason@gmail.com.

“This really was set up as a way to accommodate his fans who wanted to reach out to him, not as a way of finding a match for him,” an ABC rep says.

Jason Mesnick checks the address once a day and tries to respond to every fan — even if it is just with a simple thank you.

“Every email starts the same. ‘I’ve never done this before and I’m not a stalker,’” he says. “I’ve even gotten a Sleepless in Seattle letter.”

Even if he doesn’t find love online - or become the next star of The Bachelor - Mesnick is feeling pretty good from the responses.

“I don’t care who you are in the world, Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan, you have some sort of doubts about yourself,” he says.

“To know that people like me and accept me for who I am feels so good.”
