LeBurned yet again.
Two days after he spurned New York to play in Miami, LeBron James returned to the city he dissed and ignored reporters as he strode into Cipriani 42nd St. for fellow NBA star Carmelo Anthony's wedding.
A stone-faced James walked into the ritzy banquet hall alongside gal pal Savannah Brinson and New Orleans Hornets guard Chris Paul amid a blur of camera flashes.
Reporters shouted questions.
James, in a gray suit and dark shades, didn't even look in their direction.
The newest Miami Heat player has gotten used to snubbing New York.
The Knicks' two-year plan to land the NBA's most-coveted free agent was dashed Thursday when James announced on a self-aggrandizing hour-long ESPN television special that he had chosen to play for the rival Heat.
The long-awaited announcement triggered howls of disgust stretching from Broadway to the streets of Cleveland, where James played for the last seven years.
It also prompted Madison Square Garden shares to sink.
Saturday, Knicks superfan Spike Lee told reporters camped outside Anthony's wedding to ex-MTV veejay LaLa Vasquez that he was already looking beyond the loss of LeBron.
"We want Carmelo to come to New York," Lee said.
A galaxy of stars lit up the red carpet leading to the midtown hot spot.
Reality star Kim Kardashian sashayed past a bank of photographers in a hip-hugging beige dress.
Tennis great Serena Williams and rapper Ludacris also attended the flashy wedding, where guests sat at clear tables in a cavernous space bathed in red.
More than 300 friends and loved ones watched as Anthony, 26, and Vasquez, 30, exchanged vows.
Vasquez walked down the aisle, adorned with red and hot pink flowers, in a sleeveless white Vera Wang gown.
Before ex-New Jersey Net Kenyon Martin's rapper girlfriend walked in, she took the opportunity to gloat about James' decision to come to her hometown.
"It's great," Trina said. "We're gonna win a championship."
Other stars focused on the wedding.
"I'm excited for my friend," said singer Kelly Rowland. "It's Melo's big day. I'm so happy for him."
