THE TOP ILLI MO STORY THIS WEEK IS
President Barack Obama visited Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday making up for a promised appearance that was scrapped last year because of crises in Ukraine and the Middle East. It was during his West Coast Swing which included a private fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee and on Friday traveling to Arizona to visit the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Medical Center, regarding issues involving health care provisions at the facility.
On Kimmel, he chucked it up at first with some of the hot
button topics including Hilary Clinton's email disclosure.
“I can’t share it with you,” Obama said when Kimmel asked if he has the former secretary of State’s new email address. “I don’t think she’d want you to have it.”
He also fielded questions
from the talk show host about the possibility of ending Daylight Savings Time and whether he makes late-night runs to the White House kitchen in his underwear.
"Don’t expect either to happen," Obama told him.
Obama submitted to the Kimmel ritual of reading mean tweets about himself. He approved of the suggestion to “fly Obama to some golf course halfway around the world and just leave him there,” but he lectured another on diction: “You know the LOL’s redundant when you add the ‘haha,’” he said.
And as Secret Services agents came under fire for allegedly hitting a White House barrier after drinking, Obama shared his own story of driving a staffer’s car around the White House’s South Lawn, to the alarm of those protecting him. “Do not let him out!” he recalled the agents radioing to each other. After all, the president noted, he can’t drive.
“Is that because you don’t have a birth certificate?” Kimmel asked.
Obama replied, “In Kenya we drive on the other side of the street.”
Then the conversation got serious as the president addressed this week’s shooting of two police officers in Ferguson, Missouri .
“What had been happening in Ferguson was oppressive and objectionable and was worthy of protest,” Obama said.
“But there was no excuse for criminal acts. They need to be
arrested … What we have to make sure of is that the folks
who disregard and disrespect the other side, people who
resort to violence, that they’re marginalized,” he said.
“Obviously we don’t yet know what happened,” said the
president. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the officers
and their families, and thankfully, as you said, they’re going
to be OK.”
Obama also cited the recent Justice Department report
on Ferguson , which he said found a “whole structure” that
indicated “both racism and just a disregard for what law
enforcement is supposed to do.”
Rap icon Kanye West made news again this week directly
and indirectly. The big story was the “hacktivist” group
known as Anonymous has taken aim at West in a YouTube
video for the alleged exploitation of his wife, his obsession
with fashion and his attacks on various other artists
.

But West comparing himself to Michelangelo seems to be
what bothers the group the most.
what bothers the group the most.
“Our brother, Kanye, exploded straight into his career to
stardom with his ‘Jesus Walks’ music video series a little
over a decade ago and gathered a fan base of Christians to
capitalize on them,” the group explained to the Daily News.
“As you can see, in all his recent activity, he has
disappointed us all and uses negative publicity continuously
to stay relevant on the internet and attempts to build a profit
with that attention.”

Although the video comes across as a bit threatening,
Anonymous said it is “not a terrorist group.”

“Send Mr. West our regards and let him know we are
watching his behavior,” the group said.
OK so our thing, isnt most of todays relevant celebrities
using their antics and social media to make themselves
relevant these days ? Isnt that whats going on with
reality TV? We know that Ye is part of that culture but to
single him out with threats of what they are planning to do is a bit much.

In other Ye newz, his ode to Kim Kardashian has surfaced online.The heavily auto-tuned love song "Awesome" dropped this week , some two years after he first performed it at the 2013 Met Gala.
Early social media feedback would suggest the recording is anything but awesome with corny lyrics, like "Cause baby you're awesome, so awesome / you look too good to be at work / you feel too good to ever hurt / I hope you ready for tonight / I'm gonna cook, you'll be dessert." West also calls himself "awesome" a few times.
Meanwhile Ye has been hard at work promoting his upcoming new album, So Help Me God. His recent schedule has included performances at the Grammys last and the Brit Awards this month, talk shows in the U.K. and Europe, and he delivered a 20-minute-long speech at England's Oxford University. As of press time, there were no reports if "Awesome" will make the cut.
Again, heres an example of using social media to keep your name out there. True, everything Ye creates is not classic worthy but we are sure he knows that whatever he produces people and media will react to it.
“We are just starting to talk about Season 2 now,” he said, noting there would be more of the storytelling that has made Empire a success so far. “I have no clue yet of what we’re doing right now.”
The replacement rumor mill already had coughed up such
names as Khloe Kardashian, NeNe Leakes and Naya Rivera
when Kelly Osbourne exited last month following her outrage
at comments made by fellow FPer Giulana Rancic’s about
the locks Zendaya Coleman was sporting at the Oscars last
month.
“We can confirm that Kathy Griffin is leaving E!’s Fashion
Police,” an E! spokesperson told Deadline today. “We wish
her all the best and are grateful for her time on the show, as
well as the many laughs that she gave us all.
Fashion Police will return, as scheduled, on Monday, March
30 at 9pm with Co-Hosts Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski
and Executive Producer Melissa Rivers. No further
information is available at this time as of a replacement for
Griffin.
Hmm, isn't Griffin is notorious for being acerbic in her
commentary about celebs and all, and now she's
quitting? After she supposedly lobbied for the job
even before Joan Rivers had passed on last September?
Very interesting. We are sure she will put this
experience in her comedy act.

Chicago native TV legend Marla Gibbs made a return guest
appearance on "Scandal" this week on the episode‘The
Testimony of Diego Muñoz’

character is a lesbian who had been in love with Lois (who

Gibbs' guest appearance is definitely Emmy Award
worthy for Guest Actress in a Drama Series.. We hope
that the academy thinks so as well. It is good to see the
83 year old actress make a comeback on TV and hope
this momentum continues. Maybe she can do a Betty
White venture and host Saturday Night Live. We can see
that happening for sure!
CBS announced the renewals of some of their shows this week and one was Mike & Molly which stars Plainfield, Ill native Melissa McCarthy. It will enter its sixth season in the fall.
In unrelated McCarthy newz, she is set to launch her clothing line, Melissa McCarthy Seven7. The website Melissa McCarthy.com will be open for business in August and apparel will hit department and specialty stores in the U.S., U.K., and Canada at the same time, WWD reported.
Chicago native actor Jerod Haynes made a guest starring role on Empire's episode "Sins Of the Father" playing Reg, the abusive boyfriend to Olivia who was eventually killed
The Philadelphia Eagles announced this week that they have agreed to trade quarterback Nick Foles, a fourth-round draft pick in 2015 and a second-round pick in 2016 to the St. Louis Rams in exchange for quarterback Sam Bradford and the Rams' fifth-round pick in 2015.
The Rams were reportedly fiery in their support of Bradford , with coach Jeff Fisher telling reporters that St. Louis was "counting on him" and "betting on him" to rebound from back-to-back season-ending knee injuries. General manager Les Snead emphasized the front office had no desire to "delete" Bradford from the roster, but Eagles coach Chip Kelly reportedly changed their minds
"This had been in the works for a while," Bradford said. "So it didn't catch me totally by surprise when it happened."
Bradford acknowledged that he "knew this was a possibility probably three, four weeks ago," adding: "I think that (coach) Chip (Kelly) and the Eagles wanted me here, and I'm excited to be here."
The trade also reunites Bradford with offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, who served as play-caller during Bradford's rookie year with the Rams in 2010.
Based on STL sports radio opinions, many are glad that Bradford left because of his lackluster performance. But our thing is, dont you need backup from a good team in order to be great? We are just saying. But Bradford isnt hurting as in his pockets because he signed a 6 year contract in 2010 worth $78 million. Bradford received a $2.88 million roster bonus in 2010 and $17.975 million salary advance in 2011. The contract contained $50 million in guarantees including his base salaries from 2010 through 2013 and an $8.43 million roster bonus which was earned in 2011. So from our math he was to be owed about $5 or 6 million in salary minus his guaranteed signing bonuses. But we doubt that will occur because The Rams paid is guaranteed figure of $50 million.

ADD: Legendary St Louis jazz singer and club owner Gene Lynn, died last week (March 7) from stomach cancer. He was 78. He also recently had suffered a stroke. Born Leon Campbell, he grew up in Mobile, Ala., before moving to the St. Louis area. He operated several St. Louis jazz clubs bearing his name over a period of several decades. He was monikered "The Black Sinatra."A celebration of Mr. Lynn’s life had taken place Saturday (March 14) at Greater Grace Church in St Louis Burial followed at St. Peter’s Cemetery Louis. in St Lucas and Hunt Road.
As we celebrate 10 years of blogging on July 5 we will highlight some of the stories reported and covered over the years each week.
THIS WEEK MARCH 2006
It seems like St.
Louis Rams wide receiver Isaac Bruce could be the next casualty in the Rams
camp. He is now a free agent after the team released him following failed
contract negotiations.The team cut their longest-tenured player Sunday night
after talks broke down on a restructured deal. But they remained hopeful Monday
of getting an agreement that would bring Bruce back for a 13th season.The
33-year-old Bruce had a salary cap figure of $10 million for next season. He
had been due to receive a $1.5 million roster bonus Monday, the first day of
the free agency period, as part of an $8.1 million salary.That was the final
year of a seven-year, $42 million contract he signed in 2000. Man, I'd say just
sail on off and do like Jerry Rice did and reinvent yourself and put on some
dance
shoes..........................................................................

THIS WEEK MARCH 2009
Last weekend, a story
broke out reports that St. Louis based comedian/actor Joe Torry allegedly got
into a fight with Chi-town female comedian, Vanessa Fraction. Last week,
Fraction claimed that Torry reportedly beat her while they were in Japan for a
comedy tour recently. The former Def Comedy Jam Host, Joe Torry is denying all
reports and claims by Fraction. Instead he is saying that she is the wild one
and that she got in his face and scratched him up.
Other comedians that
were supposedly on that same tour and present during the suspected altercation
are not speaking out. Although Torry was reportedly held by Military police for
a short time while in Japan, no charges were filed and both have since returned
to LA. Fraction is claiming that she will reportedly be filing civil charges
against Joe Torry in LA court very soon (She was not able to file in Japan).

THIS WEEK MARCH 2011
A lawsuit in which another
rapper accused West of stealing the lyrics for "Stronger" was
dismissed last week. Virginia rapper Vince P. (a.k.a. Vince Peters claimed that
Kanye West's hit, from 2007's Graduation, was a cribbed version of his own song
of the same title. Vince P alleged that in November 2006 he played his song for
John Monopoly, who at the time was a member of West's inner circle. West's
legal representatives, Pryor Cashman LLP, requested that the case be dismissed,
citing that the songs were not similar enough to warrant copyright infringement

Cape Girardeau, Mo.
native and controversial radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh made headlines
recently when he called Georgetown University law student, Sandra Fluke a
“slut” and a "prostitute” on his syndicated radio show after she said at a
congressional hearing who testified in favor of President Obama's directive to
insurers to pay for birth control. As a result, a plethora of protesters –
particularly women – rallied against what they saw as outdated misogyny.
Also, over 30
advertisers who advertise on his show—including Sears, JCPenney, AOL, and
Netflix--have pulled their support for Mr. Limbaugh's show.

THIS WEEK MARCH 2014
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.
