A new report claims that Chicago native Sherri Shepherd will be returning 

to co-host ‘The View’ in the fall of 2015 as part of a part-time gig. 

It’s been less than a year since Sherri Shepherd, left The View, but she’s
 reportedly on her way back to the hit daytime show! Sherri will be one of The 
View’s new  rotating hosts, along withCandace Cameron-BureStacey London,, 
and Molly Simsaccording to the new report.

Sherri will return to The View on a part-time basis, Daily Mail reports. She will be one of 
the hosts who will switch out as the fifth host on the daytime talk show. The report 
claims that the plans are to have Sherri co-host at least twice a week. The news is 
planning on being revealed onThe View before the show goes on hiatus in August. 
The report about this new rotation comes less than a week after co-host Rosie Perez
announced she would be leaving the show

It was recently revealed that comedienne 
MichelleCollins, would be replacing Rosie and joining the 
show next season, alongside
 and Raven-Symone, Rosie O’Donnell, who left The View 
in Feb. 2015.
On July 10, Sherri posted an Instagram photo and message 
remembering her fond times at 
The View. She wrote, “I cried when I left @abctheview 
because of these Producers! For seven 
years they held me, nurtured me, guided me and became
 my Family – love them so much 
because they put their hearts into their jobs.” She posted 
another message on July 12 that
 read, “I might have left @abctheview but I didn’t leave my Family @NicolleSWallace 
@gregpic17 @jamiehammer16 @summur13 @lbda love these guys.” 
along with Chicgaoan Jenny McCarthy,. 

Sherri  called her time on The View the “best seven years of 
her life.” 

Kudos to Sherri on getting her new gig back and its 
especially good now that she has
to pay over 4 grand  a month in child support in the 
surrogate suit  she lost in court last month 
against her ex husband Lamar Sally.
























An online petition calling for rapper Kanye West to be
 replaced by a Canadian artist at the Pan Am Games 
closing ceremonies now has the support of more than 
30,000 people.
The Change.org petition, launched by Allen Simans 
after the Chicago-bred superstar was announced as 
the ceremony's headliner on Wednesday, says choosing 
West "raises several concerns among the people."
"Why was a local artist or group not chosen and 
supported, just as our local athletes are throughout the 
Games?" the petition says.

The petition suggests Drake, Walk Off The Earth, Feist, 
Deadmau5 or several other options to replace West. It 
also bears a picture of the infamous moment West 
interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 
2009 Video Music Awards — an incident repeatedly 
used to foment hostility toward West.
Many fans and athletes, however, were thrilled to 
hear West will be performing at the Games.
Pitbull and Serena Ryder are also set to perform at
 the ceremony, which takes place on July 26 at the 
Pan Am Dome.
Well, as they say controversy breeds not just success but 
curiosity. We know why Ye was chosen--it draws attention
and the same ones who signed the petition will be
the same ones there. 























St Louis native TV exec Andy Cohen has apologized to 
actress Amandla Stenberg after he weighed in on the 
Hunger Games actress’ recent feud with Kylie Jenner 
during the July 12 episode of Watch What Happens Live

"Today's Jackhole goes to the Instagram feud between 
Kylie Jenner and Hunger Games star/Jaden Smith's prom 
date, Amandla Stenberg, who criticized Kylie for her 
cornrows, calling it cultural appropriation,” Cohen said, 
turning to guests Laverne Cox and Andre Leon Talley
“White girls in cornrows — is it okay or nay?"

Both guests seemingly agreed that it was fine for Jenner 
to wear cornrows, but the comments and lighthearted nature 
of the discussion sparked “#boycottBravo” to start trending 
on Twitter, and on Tuesday, July 14, the Bravo host tweeted 
a formal apology.
“I want to apologize to Amandla,” he wrote. “I didn't 
understand the larger context of this cultural 
discussion and TRULY meant no disrespect to her or 
anyone else.” 

Hmm, interesting that Cohen would apologize for his 
opinion--but then again...its all about making the advertisers
happy.....but what we find interesting is for someone who 
exploits the negative behavior of women with the 
Housewives franchises, that he would apologize for 
commenting about the feud. Interesting.

But on the bigger picture, its the Bo Derek syndrome all 
over again where whites incorporates black aesthetics
(i.e. the corn row braid hairstyle) and makes it their own 
or the media's embracing of it.

FIT BITZ
  
Here are this week's female and male in the ILLI MO area who are 
extremely fit, have fitness model quality and/ or have post their 
fitness pics  on social media



This week we feature chef and model Nakia Simone Henderson 












This week we feature Elle Renee who is wearing a summery ensem which
includes an orange tank blouse with an East Indian inspired trimmings, white
khakis, and unique footwear with a black designer hand bag.

Why did director Peter Berg post a transphobic meme about Caitlyn Jenner 
winning Courage Award at ESPY Awards? Why is Donald Trump running
scared about Mexican drug lord El Chapo escaping prison? Why are 
people saying Serena Williams looks like a man? Why do people think
50 Cent is really broke just because he filed bankruptcy? Why is Ciara's
ex Future say that Ciara didnt vow celibacy with him and they have a child?
Why do celebrities like rapper Tyga keep sending sexts and nude selfies
on cell phones to people and knowing they will be leaked eventually to the public?
Why did Rolling Stone Magazine choose to put KIm Kardashian on the cover of
its latest issue? Why is actress Susan Surandon thotting on rapper ASAP  Rocky?
Why did the Emmys expand its nominee roster from 5 to 7 (and in the Supporting 
Actress in a Comedy its 8)? Why wasnt Empire nominated for Tv Drama Series? 
And why did Empire producer Lee Daniels say F the Emmys  for not 
nominating his show? Why did Chris Brown post pics on his Instagram
of his new house?  And again we ask--why do people say its hot outside and its
summer???

NOTE: About 20 or so people came through to our private soiree that was planned a week in advance and we pulled it off . It was a laid back affair where everyone mingled and carried on (still scratching my head on how the convo about people bleaching their anal hairs. LOL)t....Afterwards we and some of our guests checked out Rustic Goat (where my sis was attending another bday party) and new club Lux next door where Erykah Badu was scheduled to be on the turntables as Low Down Loretta Brown but ended up hanging outside Lux where most folk were (see this week's  St Louis American's Partyline  by Delores Shante as to why most people were outside than inside) Other notable attendees at our soiree  were Black Katz co founder Elson Williams Jr, Attorney Daniel Brown and fitness trainer Ra'dric.
