More than 30 years
after he graduated high school, President Obama's senior prom pictures have
emerged in public, featuring the president when he was 17 years old, clad in a
white sport coat and a lei, posing for pictures with his friends.
The
photos, obtained by TIME, show Mr. Obama, then a student at Punahou School in
Hawaii, hanging out with his date Megan Hughes, his friend Greg Orme, and
Orme's date Kelli Allman (then McCormack), according to Allman, who provided
the photos to TIME.
"It was a
really fun, happy time. We were all cracking up, and everyone was
smiling," Allman told TIME. "It was pretty typical from there out as
far as what happens at prom: the dinner and the dancing and the photos."
Allman also provided
to TIME a photo of Mr. Obama's signature in her 1979 yearbook, in which the
now-president complimented Allman as "sweet and foxy," and offered to
buy her lunch.
Chicago bred rap superstar Kanye West hit "Saturday Night
Live" last weekend for a performance of two tracks. The rapper was the
musical guest on Saturday night's episode, hosted by Ben Affleck.
West took the stage
to perform "New Slaves" and "Black Skinhead" during the
episode. Censors seemed to miss a number of choice words, as West
was audibly heard using the n-word during both songs.
The performance was
the second big Kanye stunt in as many days. The 35-year-old rapper premiered "New Slaves," by projecting audio and video for the
song on the sides of buildings across the world.
At a recent
performance, West shot down rumors that he would participate in a sketch on the
show. "Someone asked me, 'When you do 'SNL,' are you going to do a skit
about the paparazzi and humanize yourself?'" West said during the show on
Wednesday, referencing a recent run-in with the paparazzi. "What the f--k do I have to
apologize for? When did I become inhuman? Or was it them demonizing me and
harassing me that made me less than human?"
The album artwork
for West's upcoming "Yeezus"
album was also
released this weekend. The gold-adorned album will hit stores on June 18.
American Idol has nailed down its first alum turned judge: Chicago native Jennifer
Hudson.
Multiple
sources confirm exclusively to E! News that the Oscar-winning singer has signed
a deal to sit at the judges' table this fall for season 13. The other two spots
are also intended for former Idol contestants:Kelly Clarkson and either Adam
Lambertor Clay Aiken.
We're
told that Clarkson is also close to signing on. No word yet on whether Lambert
or Aiken will fill the final spot, but producers are expected to keep the panel
to three members.
The
"superstar-alum" theme is aimed at reclaiming some of Idol's
lost viewership—the series is down about 10 million viewers from two years ago,
in part because of the success of The Voice.
Chicagoan model Sesamir Yearby signed recently a contract as the new face of Black Opal for its mens line.

Conners
was fired from KMOV after a Facebook post. In it he asked whether some trouble
he’s having with the IRS was made worse by a contentious interview he did with
President Obama in April 2012.
“I’m
not trying to embarrass the station or cause issues. I’m simply doing what I
thought they wanted me to do. They had no problems, they had seen all of these
facebook postings I made. I would often ask something like, is it common sense
that you would suspend a kid from school if he points his finger at someone and
goes bang bang? I questioned those kinds of things all the time.” said former
Channel 4 News Anchor Larry Conners.
KMOV
television management issued a statement about the dismissal of the
longest-serving news anchor currently working in St. Louis
“I
wouldn’t have even brought the subject up if there had not been the so-called
rogue agents story going on. Because remember, I had been going through this
for months. I never said anything up to that point. It was only based on the
news story breaking and I thought, I’m seeing all these cases come up, and they
supposedly were going after different groups and individuals. I raised the
question to the forum to start conversation.” said Larry Conners.
But
channel 4 management notes Conner’s dispute with the IRS had been going on for
years before the April, 2012 Obama interview. Conners contends that he was
merely raising the question of whether his Obama interview might have led to
more IRS scrutiny. he says the next steps will come from his Union and from his attorney.
You
can see the full interview with Conners on The Jaco Report at 8:30am Sunday morning on FOX 2.
