HAPPY BDAY TO PRESIDENT BARACK 
OBAMA WHO WILL CELEBRATE ON 
AUGUST 3.

Mr Obama kicked off his birthday weekend 
with a round of golf  today, Saturday and 
planned to 
spend time with friends at Camp David.
Obama, who turns 52 on Sunday, left the 
White House unusually early for the half-hour
 trip by motorcade to Andrews Air Force Base 
in Maryland to squeeze in some golf before the 
celebration was to shift to the presidential 
retreat.






















Former Chicagoan Oprah Winfrey's OWN cable station has 
made a turnaround 
in the ratings and its revenue. According to Patty 411.com, 
after a bumpy start, 
OWN is breaking records 
left and right. 

With the addition of better programming, people are tuning 
in and liking the 
shows (The Have & Have Nots, Welcome To Sweetie 
Pie's, Iyanla Fix My Life, 
Love Thy Neighbor, Oprah's Next Chapter, Oprah's 
Masterclass, Where Are 
They Now, the soap operas One Life To Live & All My 
Children, 
just to name a few). 

Former Football Star/Broadcaster Deion Sanders has a new 
reality show 
called Primetime debuting in a few weeks. The Next 
Chapter series will 
feature Singer Gloria Estefan on August 4th, Director 
Lee Daniels 
on August 11th, Actress Lindsay Lohan on August 18th 
and the legendary Tina 
Turner on August 25th. Bishop TD Jakes returns on 
Sunday, September 8th 
with Lifeclass.\

In other Oprah news, she is making the promotions rounds. 
On August 15th
she will be joining  STL native Andy Cohen on his 
popular show Watch What Happens 
Live on the 
Bravo network. 

Lee Daniels' The Butler opens in theatres August 16th
and is the true story of 
White House Butler Eugene Allen, who served under 
eight presidents between 
1952-1986






























Chicago native designer Kate Pankoke is getting something 
most Project Runway designers don't -- a second chance.
 As part of a new twist introduced this season -- dubbed 
"Runway Redemption" -- viewers got to vote which of thee 
former competitors would return. 


Pankoke, a 24-year-old from Chicago who originally was 
on season 11, beat 
out season eight's Valerie Mayen and season six's
 Lawrence Coleman for the honor, as revealed in last 
week's season 12 premiere.

During her original season -- the show's first "teams" 

edition -- Pankoke was sent home during a 
unconventional challenge that called for the 
designers to create a prom dress out of duct tape. 

In a surprising double elimination, both Pankoke and 

her teammate Tu Suthiwat Nakchat were sent home.
  
Theres is also another Chicagoan on the show 

Kahindo Mateene, who is originally from

 Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo.


TO SWEETIE PIES.
Slim will be making several appearances on the award winning hit show that can been on OWN.


From reports,  a  judge in St. Louis County has denied a request from Larry Conners that a "no-compete" clause be immediately suspended so the former KMOV (Channel 4) anchorman could seek television work.
Merle Silverstein, Conner's attorney, said St. Louis 
County Circuit Judge Kristine Kerr denied the 
temporary restraining order against the clause, and 
ordered Conners and the station to appear in court on 
Sept. 3.
Last month, Conners wrote on Facebook that he had 
a potential television job in St. Louis, but said he could 
not pursue it because of the clause in his contract with 
KMOV.Conners, 66, was fired May 21 after spending 
37 years in St. Louis television — the last 27 as an 
anchor at KMOV.
The dismissal came after a series of events that 
began when Conners implied in a May 13 Facebook post that he may have been targeted by the IRS 
after interviewing President Barack Obama in 2012. The IRS claims Conners and his wife, Janet L. 
Conners, owe more than $85,000 from 2008, 2009 and 2010. 
Conners also has a pending allegation of age discrimination before the Equal Employment 
Opportunity Commission.

STL DISHN

Which STL based comedian is claiming another STL based comedian is 
piggybacking on their comedy bookings for their shows?

HINT 1. Both are male

HINT 2. Both have weekly comedy nites in St Louis.

HINT 3. The comic claiming this shares teh same last name as a popular blues singer. The other
shares the same last name of a popular sports figure in St Louis. 

WHO ARE THEY?














This week we feature STL based singer Aloha who changed up her glam look recently when she
performed at Cafe Soul at The Pageant. She sported long dookey braids, a black sports cap, army 
fatigue  jacket, a Janet tee, and spandex. If we had to give the look a name we, would say,
B-girl chic.

Why was George Zimmerman only given a warning by the police when he was stopped for speeding 
and found his gun? Why does it seem the William and Kate baby isnt holding the interest of 
the public as expected?  Why does the Democratic party want Anthony Weiner to steo run
for Mayor when Clinton didnt step down when he was President? Why did Colin Powell get caught 
cheating on Facebook? Why did Foxy
Brown steal some hair weave? Why was DMX driving a 1978 station wagon? Why did 
Michael Jordan's son tweet a
 penis pic? Why arent these singing talent shows 
(outside of American Idol)
 producing any recording artists? AND Why didnt 
Wendy Racqel Robinson show up to host the TGT White Party Concert at Chaifetz in ST Louis?
