Cape Gireaurdo, Mo native and talk 

show host Rush Limbaugh made 

headlines this week hen he called out

 Grammy Award winning singer Beyonce on his talk show for supposedly abandoning the feminist image  and for now telling women to "bow down" to their husbands in her newly leaked single, "Bow Down Bitches."
"[Destiny's Child] songs were attempts to 

inspire young women not to take any grief 

from men. She's done a 180," said 

Limbaugh. "Beyoncé, now having been 

married, having been impregnated and 

giving birth toBlue Ivy…she's got a new 

song, 'Bow, Down Bitches'… 


Beyoncé is now saying, 'Go ahead and put


 up with it!'"
He continued: "You know why? I'll tell you 

why. Because she married a rich guy.

 She's even calling herself Mrs. Carter on 

the tour…She has shelved Beyoncé…She

 now understands it's worth it to bow 

down."

Oscar nominee and Kansas City, Mo 

native Don Cheadle will suit up again as

St Louis Cardinals third baseman David 

Freese will start the season on the disabled

list, reports MLB.com. Freese had been 

suffering from lower back problems, but the

team said there was a possibility that he 

would return for Opening Day next Monday 

April 8 against the Cincinnati Reds . That is 

now no longer the case, and the team has 

placed him on the 15-day disabled list.
“It’s just more of a practical matter in the sense that he 

hasn’t played nine innings all spring,” General manager 

John Mozeliak said. “He hasn’t gotten a lot of at-bats over 

the last two weeks in an aggregate sense. Looking ahead 

at what’s best for David is to get him some at-bats 

nextweek where he could get a lot of work in.”


 STL native and Bravo TV  VP Andy Cohen will reportedly get his own "night" at Busch Stadium this  May 10. Cohen will throw out a ceremonial first pitch prior to the  game. Folks who buy a special "Andy Cohen Night" ticket to the game will take home a Cohen bobblehead.


KTVI up for sale TV industry reports say.Owned by  Local TV, a subsidiary put together about five years ago by Oak Hill Partners equity groupAlong with the STL Fox affiliate, which had been owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., there are about 20 stations in the group, including properties in Kansas City, Memphis, Milwaukee and Iowa's Quad Cities' area. KTVI now is located, along with KPLR (Channel 11), in Maryland Heights. Its old location at Hampton Avenue and Hwy. 40 was demolished earlier this year. The two stations have combined newscasts, but operate other programming separately.

President Obama filled out an NCAA tournament bracket

 like he has done for the past four years. This year,  has

 Louisville and Indiana playing in the national title 

game... with Indiana coming out on top. ESPN released 

previews Tuesday evening showing the President 

picking Louisville, Indiana, Florida, and Ohio State as 


his Final Four teams.





The queen of talk Oprah Winfrey had gone to Chicago, her former residency, to be a  guest of newly Chicago resident Steve Harvey's top-rated daytime talk show. The sit down with Harvey will air in syndication April 26th. In unrelated Harvey news, he will be hosting BET’s Celebration Of Gospel. The show airs Sunday, April 7th on BET.





Following in his fellow Original Kings of Comedy comedian Steve Harvey on hosting game shows, St Louis bred comedian/actor Cedric The Entertainer will become the new host of long running game show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire." According to ABC  Cedric the Entertainer will soon replace Meredith Viera .The popular comedian will start hosting the show when it begins its 12th season in syndication this fall.




Chicago native and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson will join Oscar winner  Octavia Spencer for the movie "Call Me Crazy." The movie is about mental illness and will air Saturday, April 20th on the Lifetime channel.





The Chicago Bears announced Wednesday that they 

were unable to come to a free-agent deal with  veteran 

linebacker Brian Urlacher. From reports, Urlacher said 

the Bears asked him to make an offer, and that 

Urlacher's original proposal was for two years and $11.5

 million.

The Bears reportedly made a one-year, $2 million offer.


 Urlacher reporetdly made a one-year, $3.5 million 

counteroffer, according to ESPN's Ed Werder, who 

reported the counteroffer included incentives that would 

have allowed Urlacher to make an additional $500,000.


"And then they said, 'No, you take this offer or leave it. 
Take it or leave it,'" Urlacher said. "It was kind of an 
ultimatum. Either sign this or leave. That's the way it 
was. They never moved off their initial offer."





It's still up in the air on whether Chicago native and Chicgao Bulls player Derrick Rose will play again. According to reports, Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau already stated that Rose (ACL surgery) is "most likely out" for Thursday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers and Rose's words confirm that he's no closer to deciding if he'll play or not this season. Rose reportedly participated in a full-court scrimmage Wednesday and has suffered no known setbacks since his hamstrings started tightening up earlier this month.

St Louis native singer Curtis Finch Jr was the first of the Top 10 American Idol singers who were voted off last Thursday prompting him to sing for the judges' save, a safety net that can be used but once a season.
But no safety net was deployed.The elimination came as a surprise to some, including Nicki Minaj, who all but threatened to leave if Finch was sent packing. "If you're going home, I'm going home," she said, and nearly made good on her statement, getting up from the judges table at one point.

After his elimination, Finch made his appearances on the TV show circuit. This week he appeared on “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno where he sang  at each commercial break. He also made appearances on  “Today" and  "Access Hollywood."



From reports, while on tour in St. Louis, Grammy Award winning country artist Taylor Swift recently brought out a hometown hero at the Scottrade Center. She surprised the crowd as she called out rap mogul Nelly to perform his hit, "Hey Porshce."
"I mostly think of the fact that one of my favourite artists is from here," Swift announced. What would you say if I told you that Nelly is here?". At this point the crowd probably screamed and flapped about quite a bit, we'd imagine. And this is what happened next.

This week we feature St Louis radio personality Tammie Holland who's sporting a newly cropped blonde do one her most daring styles to don her tresses--and she pulls it off.
