ILLI MO BITZ






After Kanye went on a Twitter rant following Jimmy Kimmel’s spoof of his BBC interview, the two agreed to talk it out on Wednesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live. And in true Kanye form, he went on another epic rant to clarify his last rant.
From a report from Entertainment Weekly:
“We had a big dumb fight on Twitter but he was nice enough to come on tonight,” said Kimmel, who tried to cut the tension by opening with accessories. He asked about Kanye’s outfit (“Ralph”), was he wearing a new grill (“No, they’ve been in my mouth for three years”), before showing a clip of the skit that started it all (even Kanye was smiling!)
“The truth is, the main reason I did that is because I like to see kids curse,” said Kimmel who admitted he didn’t watch the entire BBC interview. Both assured us this wasn’t a publicity stunt.
Niceties aside, it looked for moment that Kimmel was going for the jugular when he told Kanye, “A lot of times I think you bring it on yourself, this kind of misunderstanding about you.” With an intense Kanye staring deep into his soul, Kimmel added, “A lot of people think you’re a jerk.” But then he defended him, sharing with the audience a photo of the rapper posing with Kimmel’s father at a wedding. “I know this guy, he’s not a jerk.”
Here is how Kanye responded, as best as we could follow, considering he basically gave us a verbal draft of his memoirs last night:
On Celebrity:
-”I’m not running for office, I’m just here to make good music, make people feel good…for me, I’m a creative genius and there’s no other way to word it and I know you’re not supposed to say those things about yourself.”
-”It’s bigger than who I am even…It’s about when I was on Earth, what did I do to help?”
-”I had an art background even before I was a musician…I’m more of a messenger than a rapper.”
-”I could care less about any of these cameras, in all honesty. All I care about is my family.”
On Constantly Calling Himself A Genius:
Kimmel: “I think that upsets people, but the truth is, a lot of people think that they are geniuses and nobody says it.”
Kanye: “I’m totally weird and I’m totally honest and I’m totally inappropriate at times.”
On Kim:
“There’s no way that Kim Kardashian shouldn’t have a star on the Walk of Fame.”
On Comparing Kimmel to Spongebob:
Kimmel: “Do you really think I look like Spongebob?”
Kanye: “I mean, it’s the first thing that came to my mind.”
On His Real Time Twitter Rant (which was written from his L.A. home):
-”They were really fun to me as I was writing it…the only reason why I could do that is because we could speak on a similar level and go back and forth…I just thought that this was amazing you know, just crack media…I do everything I can to break media.”
-”You shoulda saw the second set of tweets!”
On Fashion (after Kimmel presented him with a pair of leather jogging pants for Nori)
“Fashion isn’t always practical, it’s more about a motion, it’s about swag… [expletive]…it’s more about style and stuff.”
On the Difficulties of Breaking into Fashion:
-”I’ve got ideas that mean something, if I could put the proper production around them…I mean there’s no black guy at the end of the runway in Paris.”
-(After a lengthy metaphor about how hard Michael Jackson had to fight to get his videos played on TV), “I still cant break that wall down…everyone kind of just looks at you like you’re crazy…it’s like how can you get a shot?”
On Society:
“It’s not about racism anymore, it’s classism.”
On the point of his BBC interview rant:
-”People are too scared of getting spooked in a way.”
-”Creators get beat up my entire life…I refuse to follow those rules that society has set up and the way that they control people with low self esteem.”
-”The only luxury is time…the time you spend with your family. So this concept of luxury is improper to me.”
On Comparing Himself to Steve Jobs, Jesus:
-“I’m saying these are my heroes, these are people I look up to, this is the type of impact I want to make on this earth.”
-“Exactly what I did in music I want to apply to product, to education.”
On Paparazzi:
-”We bring something of joy to the world…I should be respected and such when I walk on the street.”
-”Never think I’m not from Chicago for one second.”
-”I understand you gotta get your money, and its hard out here… it’s a lack of decency.”

ST Louis bred rap superstar landed an American Music Award nomination this week as they were announced. The rapper  along with country duo Florida Georgia Line is up for  the returning  category Single of the Year  for the platinum selling single, "Cruise." They will compete against "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (the biggest nominees with six) featuring Wanz and "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke featuring Pharrell and T.I. The ceremony will take place at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles and will air on ABC on Nov. 24.
In other Nelly newz, his latest CD, "M.O." debuted at No, 14 on Billboards Album 200. His lowest ranked album of his career.
And in other Nelly newz, he had gone on his soapbox on two topics: Government shutdown and Mylie Cyrus.
Nelly believes there should be no taxes until the government goes back to work, . 
“I’m trying to campaign, since the government ain’t working, we shouldn’t have to pay taxes,” Nelly told VH1. “Because, you know, paying taxes is supposed to pay for the government, which in turn is not working. So if they’re not working, I shouldn’t have to pay taxes. And me being in the upper echelon of the tax bracket, feel that the money I could be saving over these next couple of days could be very vital to my survival…So y’all keep banging.”
On Miley he said,"Miley's great, she's a great talent.
 She's young and ambitious and wants to do it her 
way. When you're 20 years old and you've been under
 a machine your whole life and been told what to do, 
when you get to a certain age you're like, 'I want to
 do it my way'… Whatever mistakes she makes she's
 gonna have to deal with them, she understands that
… I always ask, 'Who's she hurting?' She's just doing
 it her way. We've had a lot of people doing it their 
way." He actually makes a totally valid point!!
 MileyBird may smoke weed by the ounce and stick
 her tongue out more frequently than a dehydrated 
puppy dog, but who is she hurting really? Robin 
Thicke certainly didn't complain about any chaffing! 
Nelly also implied MileyBird might have it harder than
 Madonna in some ways! He said: "Madonna, she did
 it her way, and she became one of the greatest 
female entertainers of all time. Madonna grew up in 
the age of no social media, she wasn't under the type
 of scrutiny that Miley's under. Yeah, Miley twerked on
 stage at 20, but Madonna kissed two girls on stage at
 50! Come on man, leave her alone!" 





In a new interview with Salon.com, Berwyn, Ill. native comiedic actor  Bob Odenkirk shed a little more light on the forthcoming Breaking Bad spinoff, "Better Call Saul"  starring the colorful and witty lawyer Saul Goodman that he played on the iconic Emmy Award winning series.
“Vince Gilligan and the writers will make the ultimate decision,” Odenkirk said, “But Vince has told me, the last time he talked to me, he said that it will be slightly more dark than it is funny. That’s an interesting balance to strike. And I’m excited.”
Sony and AMC greenlit Better Call Saul in mid-September.The decision all amounts to AMC wanting to prolong their most successful franchise,  Breaking Bad. It was also reported that the spinoff, which will be a pre-quel to Bad and may be dark like its predecessor starring Walter White.
Since the spinoff is a prequel, it could also open the door for various cameos including ones from beloved characters like Gus. Giancarlo Esposito said in a recent interview he would love to return if Gilligan and his team would have him.
A release date for Better Call Saul hasn’t been set yet.
In other Odenkirk newz,he is  getting its cast together in time for its spring air date.Breaking Bad's Bob Odenkirk will be joining the team in a supporting role as a deputy, according to The Hollywood Reporter and Variety


NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Comic actor and Chicago native  Craig Robinson was detained Wednesday for drug possession as he tried to leave the Bahamas and was ordered to pay a fine, authorities said.
The actor best known for his role as Darryl Philbin on NBC's The Office was stopped as he tried to board a plane in the capital, Nassau, and head back to the United States. Customs agents found a small amount of marijuana and pills deemed suspicious, said Supt. Stephen Dean of the Royal Bahamas Police Force.
"It was nothing major," Dean said.
Robinson, who was in the Bahamas for a comedy show, was taken into custody and appeared before a magistrate, where he pleaded guilty to two counts of drug possession. Prosecutor Ercel Dorsett told the court that Robinson had a half gram of marijuana and 18 ecstasy pills.
The 41-year-old actor, who appeared calm in shorts and a T-shirt and was not accompanied by a lawyer, told the court he brought the drugs from the United States and did not know they were illegal in the Bahamas.
Magistrate Andrew Forbes ordered him to pay a $1,000 fine and directed that he be turned over to authorities and removed from the country. He could have faced four years in prison.
A publicist for Robinson, Nicole Chabot, declined to comment. Blair Berk, a Los Angeles lawyer who represented the actor after a previous drug arrest, also declined comment.
In June 2008, police in Culver City, California, arrested Robinsonon suspicion of possessing MDMA, also known as ecstasy, and methamphetamine. The charges were later dismissed after he completed a diversion program.


Chicago native Harry Lennix can be seen these days playing FBI honcho Harry Cooper in the new NBC action-thriller, “The Blacklist,” that debuted last month to impressive ratings. As a result, the show has become the year's first new show to get a full-season order.
NBC announced on Friday (October 4) afternoon that it has given a back-nine order to the freshman hit "The Blacklist," giving it a 22-episode full-season commitment.
The news was not especially surprising given that the James Spader-fronted drama has solidly won its competitive Monday 10 p.m. time period in both of its two airings. So far, "The Blacklist" is averaging a 3.6 rating among adults 18-49 and 12 million viewers in Live+SD ratings. The premiere added a whopping 4.4 million time-shifting viewers in Live+3 Day DVR numbers.




St Louis native and reality show star  Robbie Montgomery has revived her singing career with the line dance hit, "Do the Sweetie Pie,." The song and its accompanying video debuted a few weeks ago  on the OWN aired and Image Award winning docuseries, "Welcome To Sweetie Pies." In the episode,  Robbie's son, Tim Norman, tells her that for her 73rd b-day  that he will produce and write  a song for her. So, he books recording studio time for her to record, "Do the Sweetie Pie", a line dance that comprises of dance steps reflecting their soul food restaurants Sweetie Pies and Upper Crust. She also performs it at her b-day party and then have her and a slew of cast members in the accompanying music video.  Also in the episode  he surprises her and a slew of unsuspecting diners at the restaurant with the debut of Robbie's official music video -- her first performance in more than 30 years.
Tim announces the video premiere of "Do the Sweetie Pie" to the entire restaurant (but not before taking a few friendly jabs at Robbie's age): "My mother, she might not look very old, but she is very old and she just had a birthday," he says.
Watch the video to catch Miss Robbie's reaction to seeing her music video for the first time.

Why is the Government still shut down? Why did Mike Douglas lie about the type of cancer he had?  Why do R&B artists need to do reality shows in order to land a record deal? Why did a nine year old sneak on an airplane? Why are people getting eyelid tattoos? And why did Sprint sell a phone to a boy that had pre-loaded porn?
