The big story this week in entertainment in the ILLI MO are was the backlash after some of the St Louis Rams threw their hands up to symbolize the aftermath following the Michael Brown shooting and grand jury decision. During the pregame introductions before the Rams' game against the Oakland Raiders, five members of the Rams Wide receivers Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin, Chris Givens and Kenny Britt and tight end Jared Cook took the field amid flashing lights and fanfare – with their hands up.
After the geature, there were talks of the NFL fining the players as well as offering a public apology to the action after one of teh St Louis Police Boards objected to it. Also former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka chimed in stating that the hands up gesture was tacit approval of looting and burning of stores.
As of press time, the players were not fined and did not apologize as the Rams organization believed the men were expressing their First Amendment Rights. However, some of the guys have been reported as saying they have received death threats from the action.
▪OUTSTAGN agrees with the Rams organization for not fining them. They were expressing their right to make the gesture. They were not violent, vulgar nor caused any riots. The gesture in a way is reminiscent of the Black Power gesture in 1968 during the Olympics' medal ceremony in Mexico when two black track and fielders raised their fists wearing black gloves protesting racism in America. And in our history, sports played a part in defining racial politics in America (eg. Jesse Owens winning four medals in Hitler Germany in 1936, Muhammad Ali protesting going to Vietnam, and the phenom Tiger Woods winning Masters championships breaking the racial barrier in golf)
Another big story was the announcement of the 2015 Grammy Awards Friday and several ILLI
MO native acts garnered nominations. They were St Joseph Mo born rap artist Eminem who reciieved three nods for Rap Album ("Marshall Mathers 2") Rap Solo ("Rap God") and Rap/Sung Performance ("Monster" with Rihanna); Chitown bred Kanye West copped two nods for Rap Song and Rap/Sung Performance ("Bound 2" with Charlie Wilson) as well as Chicagoan Common for Rap Album ("Nobdys Smiling") and Rap/Sung ("Black Magik" with Jheno Aiko) Chicagoans Jennifer Hudson and R Kelly shared a nod for R&B Performance ("Its Your World") and last year Grammy winner Chicago native Lalah Hathaway is up for another award in the same category she won last year in the Traditional R&B Performance field with the same music partner Robert Glasper for the song "Jesus Children" (that also includes actor Malcolm Jamal Warner).
The nominees for Album of the Year was the only category to have been announced which will be announced during the Grammy Awards Christmas Special Friday evening on CBS. The Grammy Awards will be aired on CBS Feb. 8
We predict that Eminem will be nominated for Album of the Year and has a good chance of winning second to Grammy fave and lead nominee Sam Smith.
UPDATE: Eminem was not nominated for Album of the Year.
Speaking of Kanye, there are rumors that he might be leaving the rap game to pursue fashion design. A source tells Page Six of the New York Post that the rapper plans "to step away from music and concentrate on clothing" after his alleged music collab with Paul McCartney.
Well, only time will tell, but it would not be surprising.

“Breaking Bad” fans have been anxiously awaiting the premiere of the prequel spinoff “Better Call Saul” since Walter White cooked his last batch of blue meth in 2013.
The wait is nearly over. AMC has announced the spinoff series, starring Naperville, Ill native actor Bob Odenkirk’s morally questionable attorney, will premiere its first two episodes over two nights.
The show’s first episode will debut Feb. 8 and its second episode will follow Feb. 9. The series will then air regularly on Monday nights.
Set six years before the events of “Breaking Bad,” the new series, created by “Breaking Bad’s” Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, will follow the transformation of Jimmy McGill (Odenkirk), a small-time, not-very-successful lawyer, into “Saul Goodman,” tace attorney of the crime world.
Jonathan Banks, known to “Breaking Bad” fans as the crime world fixer Mike, will reprise his role in the new series. New cast members include Michael McKean, Rhea Seehorn, Patrick Fabian and Michael Mando.
The series was given a 10-episode first season, but has already been renewed for a 13-episode second season.
Two ILLI MO natives will be in Chris Rock's upcoming film "Top Five" One is Jefferson, Mo native and St Louis raised comic/actor Cedric the Entertainer. Cedric – who plays a promoter and the “motherf*cking man in Houston” – talked about his role and his wild sex scene with Karlie Redd, including how that scene mirrors some comedians’ time on the road.
“The scene is just getting more and more over the top. Chris was like, ‘let’s just go there.’ When you read it on the paper, at first of all I was like, ‘Oh no. I don’t know. I’m not sure.’ I was like, ‘Chris, you sure you want me to…’ I was like, man I’m going to need some prayer before I do this scene. This was going pretty graphic, but then you think about some of your nights on the road back in the day, then you’re like, yeah, I get it.”
The other is Sherii Shepherd who tales on teh role as Rock's ex-girlfirend.
Top Five which was a fan fave when it was screened at the Toronto Film Festival this year is in theaters everywhere December 12th.
Speaking of Shepherd, Months after leaving “Shepherd returned to daytime TV…as a guest
co-host on “The Talk.”The entertainer, who was on hand Monday to promote her new film
with Chris Rock, Top Five,” engaged the ladies of “The Talk” at the “talk” table.
Topics discussed included Sheperd’s departure from “The View.” She confirmed how happy
she is to move on from her stint on the ABC show and her desire to come back on a
“Dancing with the Stars” reunion show and compete against Wendy Williams.

Since leaving “The View,” Shepherd has experienced a string of good fortune that ranges
from playing the evil stepmother on Broadway in Rodger & Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” to
her return on the sitcom, The Soul Man.

In just their third year in the Southeastern Conference, the Missouri Tigers (10-2 overall, 7-1 in SEC play) will be making a 2nd-straight SEC Championship Game appearance this Saturday, as Head Coach Gary Pinkel's troops (ranked 14th in the Associated Press Poll, 13th in the Coaches' Poll) will face the #1-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide (11-1, 7-1) for all the SEC's marbles. Kickoff from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Ga., is set for 3 p.m. (central time), with the game televised on CBS.
Mizzou is coming off a hard-earned 21-14 win last Friday at home over the red-hot Arkansas Razorbacks (who came into the game after consecutive shutout wins over LSU and Ole Miss). The Tigers came into the game as underdogs, despite playing at home.
UPDATE: SAT. DEC 6 at 6:40 PM CST.....Mizzou lost to Alabama 42-13. Mizzou will find out Sunday which Bowl they will be playing. From reports The Tigers could play in the Citrus Bowl (Jan. 1, Orlando, Fla.), which has the first choice of SEC teams after the playoff committee sets the two semifinal bowls (Sugar, Rose) and four access bowls (Cotton, Fiesta, Orange, Peach). After the Citrus, the SEC office decides the SEC participant in the next six bowls: Belk, Liberty, Music City, Outback, Taxslayer andTexas.
SECOND UPDATE: Mizzou is headed to Orlando, Florida to take on Minnesota in the Citrus Bowl on New Years Day!
Country superstar Garth Brooks is in St Louis performing several concerts at Scott Trade Center this week and weekend. One particular fan of his who attended Thursdays concert was singer Justin Timberlake who had taken a pic of Brooks after his show backstage and shared it on his Instagram page and writing: “One of my IDOLS. Garth… You are a MASTER of your craft. I am in awe of you, still.”

This week the sports journalism world lost award-winning columnist Bryan Burwell of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch who died Thursday after a short battle with cancer. He was 59. The newspaper made the announcement on its website, stltoday.com. Sports editor Roger Hensley said in a statement that Burwell was one of the most well-respected journalists in his field.
"As great as Bryan was as a journalist, he was even better as teammate, as a coworker and as a friend," Hensley said.
Burwell's sports career spanned decades as a newspaper columnist and feature writer and with stints on national and local television, as well as ESPN's "Sports Reporters." Burwell last appeared on that show in September.
The Associated Press Sports Editors named Burwell one of the top 10 sports columnists in the country in 2007.
This week we feature Grammy Award nominated St Louis native singer/songwriter Michael Ohara. Ohara is making news for reviving his former band The Sheiks. In the early 1980s, the Sheiks were household names in New Orleans.
In 1985, O'Hara left the band, and New Orleans, behind and went out for Los Angeles. He landed a publishing deal with MCA and became a professional songwriter and hit
gold penning the #1 R&B crossover hit, "Just Because" for singer Anita Baker and producing acts in Europe.. When he moved to New York's Upper East Side he sang backup for Sting (Note: Sting opened for Ohara in 1980 in St Louis when Sting was with The Police and Ohara was with The Sheiks). In early 2000s he moved back to St. Louis to care for family and he became a minister. He also wrote and starred in "Isle of Dreams," a "gospel opera" based on the book of Revelations that enjoyed a five-year run in Branson, Mo. He launched a second Branson show, "Michael O'Hara: The Torch Singer," to showcase classic songs from the Great American Songbook. Now based in Fort Worth, Tex., he preaches at a non-denominational church., And on Dec 28 he will perform in his hometown at The Blueberry
Hill. For more info on Ohara go to https://www.facebook.com/michael.ohara.376258?fref=ts
This week we feature STL based vlogger Socialite Sande who posted this pic on her Facebook page posting about her "six-head." LOL
This week we feature St Louis based model Summer Rose Saputo who posted this three panel selfie pic on her Facebook page of her wearing some knockout dresses (the blue shoulderless number is ready for the red carpet.)
Why was the Police Board up in arms about those Rams players doing the hands-up gesture? Why did former GOP staffer Elizabeth Lauten say the Obama girls didnt have class for wearing teen-styled outfits during POTUS' turkey pardoning ceremony? Why did
Charles Barkley call looters in Ferguson scumbags? Why did someone leak the unedited video Mariah Carey butchering "All I Want For Xmas" during her performance recently on TV at Rockerfeller Plaza? Why werent the National Guard planted in Ferguson in at the time of the looting after the Mike Brown verdict? Why did Busta Rhymes go head first in a crowd during a concert? WHy was Megan Trainor's "All About that Bass" nominated for Record and Song of the Year at this years Grammy nominations? And why did teh Grammy organization decide to announce a handful of nominations, then leave the remaining nominations to be tweeted on their Twitter account and announce all but Album of the Year until their TV special? At the AMAs Why is Pitbull booked to host again? Why weren’t the R&B categories televised? Why was T.I. going up to the podium with Iggy when she accepted her two awards? And Why did Chloe Kardashian smack Jessie J on the butt when she walked down the isle of venue during her performance? At the Soul Train Awards Why didn’t Missy give a R.I.P. to left Eye during the Ladies Night Reunion? Why did Jojo fall on stage during the Jodeci reunion? And why were they lip synching? And why did Devante wear that mini ponytail on his head?
