ILLI MO BITZ
Chicago bred rap superstar Kanye West reportedly doesn't want to be in the room with Kim Kardashian when she delivers their daughter.
“He won’t be in the delivery room,” a source claimed to In Touch magazine. “He’s very squeamish and doesn’t want to be around blood. This is Kim’s worst nightmare.”
The magazine also claims that West, who's album comes out June 18, is too busy and his schedule may get in the way of the birth.
"She's afraid Kanye will miss the birth entirely because he’s so preoccupied with promoting his upcoming album," a source said.
“She can no longer travel, so she’ll be left alone in L.A. during the final days of her pregnancy while Kanye is in NYC for a concert and his 36th birthday [on June 8.]," a source close to Kardashian told the magazine.
However, Gossip Cop is reporting that the story is completely false and that a source told them, "he wouldn't miss it."
Chicago native tv personality Jenny McCarthy has just wrapped a three-day co-hosting gig on “The View,” There are rumors that the other co-hosts want to hire her on to replace either Joy Behar or Elisabeth Hackelback wgo are leaving after this season.
“The View” is reportedly still a daytime ratings-getter, last year averaging 3.3 million viewers a day But still that was down from previous years, which — according to focus groups — was the fault of Joy and Elizabeth, who were too politically polarizing.
“We will continue to feature many guest co-hosts,” according to a spokesperson for the show.“ Some are being considered, others are not,” he said.
“The plan is to have that person in place next season.”
And so, McCarthy is among the first of many who will be trying out for the big gig.
St Louis native actor/comedian Joe Torry has really been steaming up the small screen ever since he joined the adult skin series Zane's The Jump Off in April. Playing the rols of bad boy Chandler Bishop, Torry has had several love scenes exposing more than his acting skills. His brother Guy even jokingly said while being interviewed on Tom Joyner Show recently about his new gig on the TV competition show, "Dancing Fools that he wont allow his ailing father to see Joe in the series because "his health is bad enough and this would take him over. So I told him just to watch me on my show." The series follows the lives of five successful African American men from all sorts of
backgrounds as it tells the stories of their every day
lives. The series premiered March 29.
Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Cardinals catcher
Yadier Molina officially dropped his appeal and will serve his one-game suspension Wednesday night in St. Louis.
Yadier Molina officially dropped his appeal and will serve his one-game suspension Wednesday night in St. Louis.
Tony Cruz started in his place and utilityman Ty Wigginton served as the Cardinals’ emergency backup behind the plate.
Yadi was handed the one-game suspension on Monday after making contact with two umpires following a close call at first base in Sunday’s loss to the Giants. Molina claimed after that game that he was upset with himself for not executing and not with the first base umpire’s call (which was a correct call), but fighting a one-game sentence is sort of pointless.
Singer Neyo will perform at the St Louis Galleria Friday in a concert celebrating the opening of the new Microsoft retail store there.
The first 200 people in line for the Microsoft opening on Friday received two free premier viewing tickets for the Ne-Yo performance on Friday , one of them was for a Meet N Greet after the concert at the Microsoft store. The remaining people received two tickets.

Why are folk up in arms about an interracial couple doing a Cheerios ad? Why did that LGBT lady heckle The First Lady? Why does it seem as though old people and farm people only win the lottery? Why now are we finding out that the government is tapping in on cell phones? And why did that taco bell employee post a pic of him licking taco shells?
