ILLI MO SPOTLIGHT



This week,  Grammy Award winning rap superstar Kanye West shared a brief trailer from an upcoming tour film on his official site.

The video reportedly features rapid-fire clips of a variety of scenes from the Yeezus tour, as well as some horses running in snow, soundtracked by clips from the Grammy nominated album. The trailer first aired during his appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers earlier this week.

The film was directed by Hype Williams and will appear in theaters, according to the trailer. Williams directed a number of West's music videos, including "Diamonds From Sierra Leone," "Stronger" and "Gold Digger."

Last week, novelist/screenwriter Bret Easton Ellis confirmed in an interview withNoisey that he is also collaborating with West on a film project. Though it would be totally plausible for 'Ye to be kicking around a few projects, there's a strong possibility this is what he was speaking of.

Ellis is best known for his books American Psycho and Less Than Zero, both of which were adapted into films.
This article first appeared on Billboard.com.

Now the question is, why did Kanye release it in theaters? Possible Oscar recognition? Hmm, we will see next year.







And in more Ye newz, from Austin, Tx. Ye along with his mentor rap icon Jay Z headlined a  hit-filled two-hour show Wednesday night and Thursday morning during South By Southwest that was upstaged by West.
Samsung, the promoters of the show reportedly announced the Austin Music Hall show early this week and scheduled the pair at the same time as the iTunes Festival's hip-hop night that featured Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q at the very nearby ACL Moody Theater. The performance reportedly came a few weeks after West called out Apple CEO Tim Cook at a New Jersey concert, telling him to "stop trying to get performers to play your festival for free, you are rich as (expletive)."
The show was reportedly was one of the most anticipated surrounding the annual buzz-building gathering and fans with Samsung devices with the company's new streaming music service, Milk Music, were granted free entry.
Fans reportedly  lined up several hundred yards around the block before the show with most having little hope of getting in. Those who did — including Odd Future's Tyler, The Creator, who forced his way to the front row to the delight of selfie-snapping fans and spent some of the show crowd surfing — were treated to an energetic performance from two of hip-hop's biggest stars.
They reportedly emerged individually atop two large boxes stationed on the stage and in the crowd — West wearing his trademark leather kilt and Jay Z in a black American flag t-shirt — and began the show near the rafters.
The pair, who recently announced a partnership between West's Donda Music and Jay Z's Roc Nation, each also played hits from their own lengthy catalogs. 
Apparently Ye's antics hasn't halted people from coming to see him perform. As the adage says: "Controversy breeds success."



Emmy Award nominated St Louis native actor Jon Hamm made a couple of surprise TV appearances in NYC unknowingly and knowingly recently. 
He unknowingly strolled into Saturday Night Live over last weekend for a cameo during a Lena Dunhamsketch, and on Monday night he appeared in a Jimmy Fallon video on The Tonight Show.
Fallon and Hamm teamed up to photobomb unsuspecting tourists at the Top of the Rock, the observation deck at Rockefeller Center in New York.
Seems hard to believe that people posing wouldn't notice the two behind them. By the end of the video we see that the stars introduced themselves and posed with the folks for more happy photos.
In related Hamm newz, he will be back as Don Draper for the final season of Mad Men, kicking off on April 13.






Jefferson, Mo native and St Louis bred actor/comedian is making airwaves on network and social media. He recently launched a brand new website to  showcase his ‘whole damn world’ with fans across the globe. With the dynamic entertainer having so much in store throughout 2014, http://www.iAmCedric.com will serve as an all-inclusive platform for all things related to Cedric.
On TV,  he is presently the host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? seen in first run syndication and he has two upcoming back-to-back television season premieres of Hot in Cleveland and The Soul Man on March 26th. Later this month, there will be a premiere of his new video podcast entitled Cedric The Entertainer’s Whole Damn World beginning on March 31st, and also the recently announced television series Barber Battle coming soon to The CW.



CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bears agreed to terms on a one-year deal with two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Tillman, the team announced Friday.
Tillman's deal is worth about $3.5 million, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Caplan.
"Charles is one of the NFL's great players and a true leader on and off the field and we're happy he will be staying in Chicago," general manager Phil Emery said. "He remains the best in our game at forcing turnovers and always has brought a tough, physical presence to our secondary. Charles also has a special connection to the people and community across Chicago and we're excited for that to continue."
The Bears allowed Tillman to test the market in free agency, but he left Tampa Bay without a contract on Thursday. The Buccaneers were viewed as serious threats to sign Tillman because of the cornerback's relationship with new Bucs coach Lovie Smith, with whom Tillman spent nine years in Chicago.
Huh? This doesnt make any sense AT ALL. What did the owners of Tampa Bay think Tillman was going to do with Smith as his coach?  Show favoritism? Crazy. But Im sure Chicago is glad that he is back because he was one of the teams best players. He didnt win the Walter Payton Award (who's namesake was a former Bears player)this year for nothing!

FOOD BITEZ



This weekend many Irish Americans and "Irish for the day" people will be celebrating Saint Patrick's Day....one of the staple foods cooked and served is corned beef.

Corned beef is a salt-cured beef product. The term comes from the treatment of the meat with "corns" of salt. It features as an ingredient in many cuisines, including Irish-AmericanJewishCaribbeanPhilippine cuisine and Chamorro cuisine (Mariana Islands such as Saipan and Guam).[citation needed]
It was popular during World War II when fresh meat was rationed. Corned beef remains popular in the United Kingdom and is commonly used insandwiches and corned beef hash.

Although the exact beginnings of corned beef are unknown, it most likely came about when people began preserving meat through salt-curing in Keighley, West Yorkshire. Evidence of its legacy is apparent in numerous cultures, including Ancient Europe, and the Middle East.[1] The word cornderives from Old English, and is used to describe any small hard particles or grains.[2] In the case of "corned beef", the word may refer to the coarse granular salts used to cure the beef.[1] The word corned may also refer to the corns of gunpowder which were formerly used to preserve the meat. [1]
In North America corned beef dishes are associated with traditional Irish cuisine. However there is considerable debate about the association of corned beef with Ireland. Mark Kurlansky, in his book Salt, states that the Irish produced a salted beef around the Middle Ages that was the "forerunner of what today is known as Irish corned beef" and in the 17th century the English named the Irish salted beef, corned beef.[7] Some say it was not until the wave of 18th century Irish immigration to the United States that much of the ethnic Irish first began to consume corned beef dishes as seen today. The popularity of corned beef compared to bacon among the immigrant Irish may have been due to corned beef being considered a luxury product in their native land, while it was cheaply and readily available in America.[5]
In Ireland today, the serving of corned beef is geared toward tourist consumption and most Irish in Ireland do not identify the ingredient as native cuisine.[8][9]
The Jewish population produced similar koshered cured beef product made from the brisket which the Irish immigrants purchased as corned beef from Jewish butchers. This may have been facilitated by the close cultural interactions and collaboration of these two diverse cultures in the USA's main 19th and 20th century immigrant port of entry, New York City.







This week we highlight Fox 2/KPLR news anchor April Simpson who always brings a certain flair on air when  it comes to fashion especially her notable long locks. Here she poses with bottles of  D'Bes wine sporting a black leather jacket with matching black slacks and a pink blouse with leather bordering.

Why did Aretha shade Patti by not shaking her hand when she was walking up to the stage? Why cant the Malaysian plane be found after a week? Why did Bill O Reilly call Beyonce a bad role model for women? Why did Floyd Mayweather hire some hit men to kill the people who he thought stole his jewelry from his house? Why didnt the city of NYC check the gas smells reported by the citizens before the explosion? Why did Toronto mayor Rob Ford give his people the wrong daylight savings time info?
Why did Roseanne Barr tweet the Zimmermans parents' address? And why do people pinch people if they dont wear green on St Patricks day?
