NATIONAL BITZ


This Monday, all eyes were on Washington DC and

President Barack Obama's second Inauguration. Later 

that evening were balls. One of them was the 

Commander In Chief's Ball where The Obamas danced 

their first dance to Al Green’s classic “Let’s Stay 

Together” sang by fellow Chicagoan Jennifer Hudson. 

All eyes also were on the gown that First Lady Michelle 

Obama wore a ruby-red halter gown  designed by Jason 

Wu thhat designed her 2009 gown. She was 

accessorised  in velvet and chiffon overlay with a 

handmade diamond  gold embellished circular ring and 

Jimmy Choo shoes.


The First Lady also made headlines for her new banged hair do.





New Chicagoan talk show host Steve Harvey recently won New Talk Show Host at Peoples Choice Awards and his new talk show that his taped in Chicago was renewed for second season. He will also host this year's NAACP Image Awards that will air Feb 1 on NBC.




St. Louis native singer Curtis Finch Jr's Chicago audition on this season's "American Idol" aired last week (the auditions were held in July at The United Center) and he performed the inspirational song, "God is Able." and got four YESes from the judges to compete in Hollywood. We will follow Finch on his progress.


Speaking of the Chicago auditions, 10th season finalist, Wheeling, Ill native Haley Reinhart greeted the thousands of hopefuls at the United Center that was seen last week on "American Idol."




In St. Louis, the big entertainment news story was the 

passing of St Louis Cardinals legend Stan Musial over 

the Martin Luther King Jr weekend. He reportedly died in 

his home in Ladue surrounded by family. He was 92. In 

memoriam, there was a public viewing of Musial 

Thursday where hundreds attended at the Cathedral 

Basilica of St Louis. His funeral is Saturday and is 

closed to the public.  




This week we feature two Kansas City personalities who did it up with their respective styles. First is news personality Kelly Jones of the Better Kansas City Morning Show who wore a nice business casual pants suit with a black and white tweed jacket and accessories. Here, she's posed with author Terence Porter who wore nifty brown apple cap, a pink sweater with a pink and white scarf and black tie with blue and red stripes. He was being interviewed about his books he wrote. To see the interview go to http://www.kctv5.com/category/243143/better-kansas-city


BLIND DISH

Which STL female socialite is secretly engaged? She is a popular socialite who has been spending her time  regularly in Beyonce's hometown? Her nickname defines what others do to her. Who is she?

WORDZ

TO

THE
Z
Why are people making a big deal about Beyonce lip synching the National Anthem at Obamas Inauguration? Why did someone take a video of First Lady Michelle OBama rolling her eyes at Speaker of the House John Boehner while they were having lunch at The Inauguration Lunch and uploaded on Internet? Why did Jennifer Hudson say that American Idol should be cancelled? And Why does it seem that the new trend on network TV is to have a  black character as the lead in TV drama shows?
