ILLI MO SPOTLIGHT
So fans of Scandal have only one question after looking at the season finale this Thursday--did Harrison die? The actor
who plays the character, Kansas City, Mo native Columbus Short, is also asking the same thing from reports even after his hosting a season finale party
in Hollywood at the club Couture where he also performed his newly released single, "Gave Ya."
During the red carpet, a reporter asked him about
his character and his returning next season he replied, when a
reporter asked him
"Everything's great. I don't know what all the noise
is about."
The finale was reportedly shot last month (according to Short on the Tom Joyner Morning Show Friday) during Short's reported spousal and public assaults and a new contract for Short hasn't reportedly been confirmed.
In regards to his single, "Gave Ya," he addressed the song on the now infamous interview with Tom Joyner on his morning show Friday morning.
When host Tom Joyner asked Columbus about his new single, “Gave Ya,” which Columbus later described as a message for women who aren’t confident about themselves. The exchange between the two was pretty curt:
Tom: “Did you always plan to release a song? Was that in the plan?”
Columbus: “No, that wasn’t in the plan.”
Tom: “When were you originally going to release this song?”
Columbus: “When it was ready.”
Tom: “And when was that?”
Columbus: “Right now."
Columbus: “No, that wasn’t in the plan.”
Tom: “When were you originally going to release this song?”
Columbus: “When it was ready.”
Tom: “And when was that?”
Columbus: “Right now."
The only person who knows of Short;'s future on the show is its creator and writer Shonda Rims who has been reported as saying she writes her characters on their ending then backwards. Rimes has also been reported saying that Short was warned about his personal battles with his wife and alleged domestic violence charges and public assaults. And after hearing the Joyner interview, we think Short, who sounded intoxicated, is done.
Pop singer Miley Cyrus had to cancel two Missouri concerts during her Bangerz tour after suffering from a sinus infection last week . Her rep says she had "an extreme allergic reaction" to the antibiotic cephalexin.
This week, Cyrus also canceled concerts in St. Louis Kansas City , Missouri according to an official statement from concert promoter, Live Nation,
According to stltoday.com, her Scottrade Center concert was scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday with Icona Pop, and tickets are selling strongly for the Scottrade show and many fans were at the venue hoping she was still performing.
While some makeup dates have been set, Sprint Center and Cyrus representatives are still working on a makeup date for her Kansas City concert.
Earlier in the week on her Twitter account, Cyrus said she wanted her fans to know as soon as possible about the St. Louis cancellation "especially the ones trekking to get there."
She said because the doctors won't release her on Wednesday that "Im not going 2 make it 2 St. Louis. I'm so sorry but somethings are outta my control."
In other tweets, she said she felt miserable and would rather be on stage. She also complained about the TV options at her hospital.
The cancellations are crushing news to her legions of fans. Some burst into tears when they arrived at Sprint Center and learned the news.
"I'm devastated. Like, I shouldn't be laughing. I want to cry. We just kind of looked at each other, and my eyes started watering, and I was like 'no, I don't believe it,' and everyone was like, 'Hey, you know it's canceled,'" said Sophie Lewis, who on Tuesday night had come to Sprint Center with her friends.
For some, this would have been their first concert ever.
We are sure there were many Hannah Montana fans who were very disappointed about her cancelling, but what we couldnt understand was that some of her fans thought that her illness is to some rumored "nasty" behavior. Wow.
UPDATE: The St Louis concert at Scott Trade Center will be rescheduled for Aug 10 and the one for Kansas City at Sprint Center is rescheduled for Aug 12 accoring to Live Nation.

The name Nikko Smith has been big news recently mainly because of one person being mistaken by another person's "member"--literally.
This week a sex tape was leaked featuring Love and Hip Hop stars Mimi Faust and Nikko Smith (LEFT).
But former "American Idol" finalist and St Louisian Nikko Smith (RIGHT) had to go on social and broadcast media to inform everyone that he wasnt the Nikko Smith that was in the sex tape and was reportedly was not exactly embarrassed by the mistaken identity.
Nikko
'AI'Nikko Nikko
He tells us, "There could be worse things linked to my name. At least the guy didn't murder someone."
'AI'
He tells us, "There could be worse things linked to my name. At least the guy didn't murder someone."
Wow talk about mistaken identity, but it is obvious in the sex tape that it wasnt Idol Smith, but we would hope he would use the hype to increase his spotlight, especially now that he will be releasing new music (SEE ARTIST SPOTLIGHT BELOW)
From the New York Daily News, Blues guitarist B.B. King wants his St. Louis fans to give him another chance after an erratic performance led to a stream of audience catcalls and early departures.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer issued a public apology on Tuesday for what his publicists called "a bad night for one of America's living blues legends."
The written statement says King, 88, and his band had returned from a four-week break before the April 4 show at the Peabody Opera House. The band drove straight to eastern Missouri from Las Vegas, a 24-hour, 1,600-mile trip each way. And King missed his daily dosage of diabetes medicine, which elevated his blood sugar.
"The combination of the rigors of the very long drive and high blood sugar due to his medication error resulted in a performance that did not match Mr. King's usual standard of excellence," reads the statement, which was issued on behalf of King by the St. Louis venue. "Mr. King apologizes and humbly asks for the understanding of his fans."
Concertgoers said King's rambling set featured just a handful of complete songs amid meandering musical snippets, long-winded soliloquies, an 8-piece backup band that missed its cues and a 15-minute sing-along of "You Are My Sunshine."
King was put in the spotlight after a less than positive music review done by St Louis freelance writer Daniel Durchholz of Kings show went viral causing a melee of opinions on King and his performance abilities from fans.
We are glad that his publicist gave an apology, but from reports in other cities where his sets were almost or close to his performance in St Louis, what would explain those performances?
Jefferson, Mo native and St Louis bred comic-actor Cedric Entertainer can be seen this weekend on the big screen in the sequel to the hit comedy, "Haunted House," reviving his character, the exorcist priest, Father Williams.
St Joseph, Mo native rapper Eminem was one of ILLIMO artist who were nominated for this year's Billboard Music Awards. he is up for four awards: Top Rap Artist, Top Billboard Album and Rap Album ("Marshall Mathers 2") and Rap Song ("The Monster"). The other ILLIMOian who was nominated was Chicagoan R Kelly for R&B Album ("Black Panties").
Chicago native actress LisaRaye is in the hair business these days as she recently launched her new LisaRaye Diamond Plated Signature Flatiron with the Red Pro Company. Equipped with hair clips, heat resistant combs and a carrying case, the smooth diamond infused plates provides hair with a smooth silky finish without the use of any products that often leave greasy residue on the iron.
In other Raye news, earlier this month, her ill-fated TV series Single
Ladies, was picked up by BET's Centric after it was cancelled by VHI earlier this year after three seasons. She, however, will be on the latter's channel making a a guest appearance on season three of rapper The Game's "Marrying The Game."
After reportedly hosting a
charity event in the LA Versace store recently , The Game proclaimed
LisaRaye as his #WCW (Womens Crush Wednesday) on Instagram, thanking the
actress for her time and support.
