St Peters, Mo. resident Lucy is the latest in many who has gone viral.  When Lucy’s father pulled out his video camera to record her hysterical attempt to walk the family dog, he never thought it would be seen around the world.

But that’s just what happened.  After a family stroll, Lucy’s dad decided to put the video on his Facebook page. And after a good response, he thought, why not post it to YouTube?

Well, since then, YouTube viewers have enjoyed letting this little girl’s laugh lighten their mood this week.

The video has already gotten nearly 2 million YouTube views and has been showed on news programs across the U.S. as well as in Belgium and London.

The video  is of a little girl walking her dog — and then intentionally dropping the leash and laughing maniacally —

"She kept asking for the leash, just so she could drop it and watch my dog run with it dragging behind him," her father wrote on YouTube.

 University and interview Clinton as part of the

announced). This will be Clinton’s first 

appearance on the show.

Cape Gireaurdo, Mo native and talk 

show host Rush Limbaugh made 

headlines this week hen he called out

 Grammy Award winning singer Beyonce on his talk show for supposedly abandoning the feminist image  and for now telling women to "bow down" to their husbands in her newly leaked single, "Bow Down Bitches."

"[Destiny's Child] songs were attempts to 

inspire young women not to take any grief 

from men. She's done a 180," said 

Limbaugh. "Beyoncé, now having been 

married, having been impregnated and 

giving birth toBlue Ivy…she's got a new 

song, 'Bow, Down Bitches'… 


Beyoncé is now saying, 'Go ahead and put


 up with it!'"

He continued: "You know why? I'll tell you 

why. Because she married a rich guy.

 She's even calling herself Mrs. Carter on 

the tour…She has shelved Beyoncé…She

 now understands it's worth it to bow 

down."

Oscar nominee and Kansas City, Mo 

native Don Cheadle will suit up again as

St Louis Cardinals third baseman David 

Freese will start the season on the disabled

list, reports MLB.com. Freese had been 

suffering from lower back problems, but the

team said there was a possibility that he 

would return for Opening Day next Monday 

April 8 against the Cincinnati Reds . That is 

now no longer the case, and the team has 

placed him on the 15-day disabled list.

“It’s just more of a practical matter in the sense that he 

hasn’t played nine innings all spring,” General manager 

John Mozeliak said. “He hasn’t gotten a lot of at-bats over 

the last two weeks in an aggregate sense. Looking ahead 

at what’s best for David is to get him some at-bats 

nextweek where he could get a lot of work in.”

 STL native and Bravo TV  VP Andy Cohen will reportedly get his own "night" at Busch Stadium this  May 10. Cohen will throw out a ceremonial first pitch prior to the  game. Folks who buy a special "Andy Cohen Night" ticket to the game will take home a Cohen bobblehead.

KTVI up for sale TV industry reports say.Owned by  Local TV, a subsidiary put together about five years ago by Oak Hill Partners equity group. Along with the STL Fox affiliate, which had been owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., there are about 20 stations in the group, including properties in Kansas City, Memphis, Milwaukee and Iowa's Quad Cities' area. KTVI now is located, along with KPLR (Channel 11), in Maryland Heights. Its old location at Hampton Avenue and Hwy. 40 was demolished earlier this year. The two stations have combined newscasts, but operate other programming separately.

This week we feature St Louis fashionista Teresa Dumas who recently returned to her hometown after living in the ATL for a few years.
