It's a QH red alert

As part of the Bulls' playoff run (which is looking more like a walk into the sunset), the team has launched a ''See Red'' campaign.

You might recall model Marisa Miller holding up a T-shirt expressing that very phrase on these pages last week. That was before the Bulls even qualified for the postseason. She said she would return for the playoffs.

No word about whether she actually will be courtside for the games Thursday and/or Sunday at the United Center. In the never-ending (and seemingly fruitless) quest for the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, Quick Hits will continue to monitor the situation.

For those who see this item as an excuse to run a photo of the Luvabulls in ''See Red'' T-shirts, please don't insult Quick Hits' intelligence (limited as it might be) like that. Not when there are so many other ways to do so.

JIVING US

ERIN'S QUITE A SIDESTEPPER

Blond wig?

Check.

Black capri leggings?

Check.

Sequined white blouse -- mostly unbuttoned -- and sequined black bra?

Double-check.

Erin Andrews was good to go -- certainly as far as portraying Uma Thurman's character from ''Pulp Fiction'' on Monday in her performance in Week 5 of ABC's ''Dancing With the Stars.''

The ESPN siren of the sidelines is good to stay -- for at least another week -- with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Eliminated Tuesday was Kate Gosselin.

Erin and Maks danced the Jive and earned the fourth-best score of the night. They performed to ''You Never Can Tell.''

Co-host Brooke Burke tried to get either of them to tell -- about their rumored romance.

''Is love in the air, or is it not in the air?'' Burke inquired.

''Not until he gives me a ring like Chad [Ochocinco] got Cheryl [Burke],'' Andrews said. ''You joking?''

Well, chances are somebody is kidding somebody.

MJ OWNS ANOTHER BIG DANCE

Not sure if it's a harbinger for the NBA playoffs, but the Bulls -- more specifically, the Luvabulls -- lost to the eventual champions in the NBA Dance Team Bracket. The Charlotte Bobcats' Lady Cats trounced the Phoenix Suns Dancers 67 percent to 33 percent to come out on top. Well, that should be some consolation for majority owner Michael Jordan (you might recall him from his Bulls playing days) until he can produce a top-tier basketball team.

- Blackhawks star Patrick Kane, on the suggestion of jazzing up his mullet hairstyle by shaving ''88'' into the side of it: ''I'll keep it like this for a while.''

- Speaking of the Hawks, they will be honored -- as will Wilson Sporting Goods and Girls in the Game -- on April 29 at the second annual Legends of the Ball Chicago at Martini Park. Auction items include a team-signed Hawks jersey. More information is available at www.goodsports.org/legendschicago.shtml.

- The Fire will plant 40 trees Thursday in and around Toyota Park in Bridgeview as part of Earth Day. The team also is going green for its home game at 7:30 p.m. Saturday against the Houston Dynamo. Maybe the Fire can find a way to recycle its winning performance from last week.
