ILLI MO BITZ

 

St Louis bred poet and author of "I Know Why the Caged 

Bird Sings" will be this year's recipient of the 

Literarian Award, an honorary National Book Award 

for contributions to the literary community, 

the National Book Foundation announced recently. 

It is the first major literary prize for the 

85-year-old Angelou, who has been celebrated everywhere 

from the Grammy Awards to the 

White House. She has received three Grammys for best 

spoken word album, a National Medal 

of Arts and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the 

country's highest civilian honor.

Speaking by telephone with The Associated Press on 

Thursday, Angelou said she couldn't wait

to be in the same room as "some very big names in the 

literary world" and that the Literarian 

prize made her feel that she was "picking in high 

cotton."

Chicago bred rap superstar Kanye West is hitting the road.

On  Sept. 6, Ye announced a 23-city 

North American tour to promote his new album, Yeezus. 

The tour will kick off with a performance 

at Seattle's Key Arena on Oct. 19 and run for seven weeks.

In the span of those seven weeks, West, 36, will be making 

stops in major cities all over the

U.S. and Canada, including Las Vegas, L.A., Chicago, 

Philadelphia, New York City, Vancouver, 

and Montreal. He'll play his final show at the Toyota Center 

in Houston, Tex., on Dec. 7.

Kendrick Lamar -- who recently made headlines for 

dissing half the hip hop world in a verse 

for Big Sean's "Control" -- will be the opening act for all 

but five of the 23 dates. 

A yet-to-be-announced "special guest" will open when

 he doesn't.

 

On Wednesday, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce 

awarded Doloth, Ill native 

actress Jane Lynch the 2,505th star along the 

Hollywood Walk of Fame.

An animated Lynch told CBS News she now expects 

to have trouble sleeping after 

receiving the honor.

"I am going to wake up in the middle of the night 

and say, 'Ahh, I am a star!'" 

she said.

Lynch is perhaps best known for her ongoing role 

as the track suit-wearing cheerleading coach on

 the hit television show "Glee."

She and her fellow cast members 

are currently 

shooting an episode that involves the death of 

"Glee" character Finn Hudson. The role was played by 

actor Corey Monteith, 

who died in Julyfrom a mixture of heroin and alcohol, according to the 

British Columbia coroner's office.

"Work is the best thing for grief," said Lynch.

 "So we are working on this 

episode right now, the tribute to our quarterback, 

our Corey, who was 

not only quarterback of the football team, but of the

 Glee Club and I think 

it does him great justice."

During the ceremony, Lynch posed alongside her 

new star --and even laid 

down next to it -- as crowds of fans and photographers 

snapped her photo.

She says the Hollywood honor is one she has dreamed 

of since moving to 

Los Angeles more than 20 years ago. 

 

The St Louis Rams will have its home season opener 

Sunday, Sept 8 during the NFL's First Week of the 2013
