Maatology Productions is prepping
for its Los Angeles showcase of
the stageplay SNAP HONEY
We are now staging for March 2016.
Stay eyed here for details!










THE BIG ILLI MO STORIES THIS WEEK ARE:



According to an MTV exec, Kanye West, was

 expected to perform a

medley; but in the end, he

 did a 15 minute rant on

 the industry and of course the now infamous

 announcement of running for President in 2020
.
MTV reportedly  thought

 Kanye was going to do a 

medley. Then  it  thought 

he was going to not do music and talk. Then, about two acts 

into the show, it thought he would do a couple-song medley. 

This is after the show started. Then, about an act before, it 

found out that he might not do music and just speak -- but 

it had to be prepared for both, so we had a track cued up in 

the truck and heard this 10 minutes before he was to accept 

the award.

MTV also reported that he didn’t rehearse and learned to 

expect the unexpected. Someone from his camp was with 

MTV and he was surprised too. Nobody knew what he was 

going to do -- or announce that he was going to run for 

president. We were all surprised. EvenTaylor Swift.

BELOW IS HIS SPEECH:

. "Bro, bro, listen to the kids. Jeremy, I gotta put it down for a 

second. First of all, thank you, Taylor, for being so gracious 

and giving me this award this evening. Thank you. And I often 

think back to the first day I met you also. I think about when 

I'm in the grocery store with my daughter and I have a really 

great conversation about fresh juice at the (register) you 

know. And at the end they say, 'Oh you're not that bad after 

all.'
And I think about it sometimes it crosses my mind a little 

bit when I go to a baseball game and 60,000 people boo me. 

It crosses my mind a little bit.
"And I think if i had to do it all again—what would I have

 done? Would I have worn a leather shirt? Would I have 

drank half a bottle of Hennessy and given the rest of it to 

the audience? Y'all know you would've drank that bottle, 

too. If I had a daughter at that time would I have went on 

stage and grabbed the mic from someone else's? You 

know, this arena tomorrow is gonna be a completely 

different set up. Some concert. This stage will be gone. 

And after that night, the stage was gone. But the effect 

that it had on people remained.
"The problem was the contradiction. The contradiction is 

that I do fight for artists but in that fight, somehow, was 

disrespectful to artists. I didn't know how to say the right 

thing, the perfect thing, I sat at the Grammys and saw 

Justin Timberlake and CeeLo Green lose. Gnarls Barkley 

and the (FutureSex/LoveSound) album, and bro, Justin 

I'm not trying to put you on blast but I saw that man in tears, 

bro. And I was thinking he deserved to win album of the 

year. And the small box that we are of entertainers of the 

evening, how could you explain that?
"Sometimes I feel like you know all this shit they run about 

beef and all that, sometimes I feel like I died for the artist's 

opinion, for the artist to have an opinion after they got 

successful. I'm not no politician bro, and look at that. 

You know how many times MTV ran that footage again? 

Because it got more ratings? Do you know how many times 

they announced Taylor was gonna give me this award? 

Because it got more ratings?
Listen to the kids, bro.
"I still don't understand award shows. I don't understand 

how they get five people who work their entire life one sell 

records, sell concert tickets to come stand on a carpet and 

for the first time in they life be judged on a chopping block 

and have the opportunity to be considered a loser.

"I don't understand it bro. I do not understand when the 

biggest album or the biggest video I don't understand. I've 

been conflicted bro. I just wanted people to like me more. 

But f--- that, bro. In 2015, I will die for the art for what I 

believe in and the art ain't always gonna be polite.
"Y'all might be thinking right now, 'I wonder did he smoke 

something before he came out here?' And the answer is yes, 

I rolled up a little something, I knocked the edge off.

"I don't know what's gonna happen tonight what's gonna 

happen tomorrow bro but all I can say to my artists is just 

worry about how you feel at the time. I'm confident I believe 

in myself. We the millenials bro. This is a new mentality.

"We're not gonna control our kids with brands. We're not 

gonna tech low self esteem and hate to our kids. We're 

gonna teach our kids that they can be something. that they 

can stand up for themselves. To believe in themselves and 

if my grandfather was here right now, he would not let me 

back down
"I don't know what I'm gonna lose after this it don't matter though because it ain't about me, it's about new ideas bro people with ideas people who believe in truth.
"And yes, as you probably could've guessed by this moment I have decided in 2020 to run for president."
As you can see, Kanye is tormented. Its obvious that he is. Is some of it for shock value. Of course. But Kanye is smart and he surely understands the power he has and the effects of media of his power….but I believe the Presidential bid is definitely a jab at Donald Trump and his off the cuff run of the 2016 presidency.
Comedic actor Bill Murray has confirmed that he filmed a cameo for the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot, despite his initial reluctance to rejoin the supernatural comedy franchise. In early August, it was reported that Murray would participate in the Paul Feig-directed comedy, which stars Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy, two actresses that Murray openly lobbied for when talks of an all-female Ghostbusters began. "I like those girls a lot. I mean, I really do," Murray told Vulture, adding that he was approached by them for the cameo. "They are tough to say no to. And Paul is a real nice fellow."
In 2011, Murray told David Letterman that starring in a third Ghostbusters movie would be his "nightmare," adding that the poor response to the 1989 sequel soured the series for him. However, Murray has been a strong supporter of the reboot and eventually warmed to the idea of appearing in the new film. "You know, they were incredibly nice to ask me, and I really enjoyed being there," Murray said. "They have such a jolly group, and they are going to have great success with this project. I didn't want to overshadow [them] or anything, and I feel really good about it."
As for the cameo itself, Vulture reports that Murray will not be reprising Dr. Peter Venkman, who the actor portrayed in the first two Ghostbusters installments. Instead, it's rumored that Murray will play the polar opposite of a Ghostbuster in his small role: A debunker of the spiritual world. Original Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd also filmed a cameo as a conspiracy theory-obsessed taxi driver alongside Kristen Wiig.
There was originally talk of a "baton-passing" scene between the OGs (original Ghostbusters) and the reboot crew, but those plans were nixed following the death of Harold Ramis. The new Ghostbusters, which also stars Saturday Night Live's Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones along with Chris Hemsworth, will hit theaters July 15th, 2016.


From reports, St Louis Mayor Francis Slay attended a rally touting progress of a task force 
this week to develop a new stadium on the downtown riverfront, giving fans his "word" 
there would be a new stadium and the Rams would be playing in it.
Dave Peacock, leader of the group, was a lot more circumspect. Peacock said he and 
Gov. Jay Nixon met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in New York on Wednesday 
and said, "I've never guaranteed anything."
About 300 people attended the rally in the Missouri Athletic Club parking lot Thursday
 night not far from the Edward Jones Dome, where the Rams and Kansas City Chiefs 
played in a preseason finale. The rally lasted about 20 minutes and wound up about a 
half-hour before kickoff.
Several protesters held signs saying, "No Vote, No Stadium."
Hmm...its getting interesting. So whos giving the truth???.
And speaking of the Rams, the league's season opener  at Edward Jones Dome 
will be Sept 13 against the Seattle Seahawks..

St. Louis native Vincent Price's cookbook 
 his wife Mary, is being reissued in time for its
 50th anniversary.
The Prices' daughter Victoria will be in St. Louis  
to celebrate the book's rerelease. She will 
participate in a Tenacious Eats event on Oct. 10, including a five-course meal cooked from recipes in 
the cookbook to accompany a screening of Price's 1973 tongue-in-cheek horror classic "Theatre of 
Blood."


ST. LOUIS (AP) _ 
Six Flags St. Louis is set to 
construct a new ride for 
the theme park.
reported the park will construct a
new ride called Fireball. According to park officials, Fireball consists 
of a single loop that will move riders back and forth in a pendulum style 
until they are sent upside down.
Officials say riders will sit back to back-to-back and face-to-face on t
he seven-story-high roller coaster.
The ride will be the first 
in the park that can have two people going forward and two 
people going 
backward at the same time.
The ride has opened at Six Flags theme parks in New Jersey, 
California, Georgia and Maryland this year.
It is expected to open in St. Louis next spring,

WHYZ AT MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS

Why did Miley seem to try too hard to shock with her outfits? Her titty out ? Why did Kanye take 15 minutes to accept Vanguard Award? And why did he say he smokes weed? Why did Demi Levato sound like she was singing on helium? Why did Justin Bieber crying seem stagey? And why was his vocals Auto tuned? And why did the woofin Nicki did at Miley seem stagey? Why did the MTV Awards feel like a BET Awards with all the bleeps?


OTHER WHYZ
Why did the judge wait until now during the NFL season to clear Tom Brady of 
any wrongdoing with deflating footballs? And why does it seem as though NFL Commissioner
Roger Goddell was string armed for Brady to play in the four games he was supposed to be 
suspended on this season? Why did the author of the Bond novels feel Idris Elba was
too street to play Bond (code word:too black)? Why was Cate Blanchett hired to play 
Lucille Ball in an upcoming biopic? Why was a new lady introduced to Kermit The Frog?
Why does the Cynthia Bailey hitting Portia in stomach during filming up the new 

ATL Housewives seemed staged for the next season? And why was license stickers 

only valid for a year(They should last as long as your drivers license)?

THE BIG ILLI MO STORIES THIS WEEK ARE:



Galpals Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence joined Billy Joel on stage at his concert at Wrigley Field in Chicago where the actresses reportedly climbed onto Billy's piano and danced to a performance of his hit song "Uptown Girl" (a song that also plays a big role in Amy's film Trainwreck).
Amy and Jennifer looked to be having the time of their lives as they danced around on stage in front of the huge crowd.
Jordana (@jordanahaley99) August 28, 2015
And it seems like the two are as close as friends can possibly be -- especially with Jennifer literally kissing Amy's feet as she climbed up on Billy's grand piano.
 We are surprised they didnt make out! LOL

 Chicago native rapper/actor Common have been added to the cast of the live musical of The Wiz. He will play the Bouncer, the gatekeeper of the entrance to Emerald City who is out to get what he can from Dorothy and her three friends. NBC boss Bob Greenblatt described the gatekeeper as a “non-singing comedic role.”
The Wiz Live! is executive produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron — who also made NBC’s previously high-wire musical telecasts, 2013’s The Sound of Music Live! and last year’s Peter Pan Live! The Wiz Live! is directed by Kenny Leon with Harvey Fierstein providing new written material, and it also marks the first NBC musical to made with Cirque Du Soleil, whose acrobats will be used in certain scenes (such as the tornado and flying monkeys).

Us personally, he shudda played The Wizard.




The star of Empire, Chicagoan Terrence Howard, may be getting a lot less face time on the hit Fox show due to his own personal drama.
Terrence Howard is reportedly getting his role cut back due to divorce proceedings with his ex-wife, Michelle Ghent, and previous allegations of domestic abuse, according to Page Six.
Howard who plays Lucious Lyon, the founder and CEO of Empire Entertainment, in the record label drama. As one of the main protagonists, alongside Taraji P. Henson, it's hard to tell what a scaled back role will mean for both Howard and his TV character.
Henson's role as Cookie Lyon will allegedly get larger, according to Page Six's source, while Lucious' position in prison as well as the many guest stars that will appear on the show may mean that "the average viewer won't realize it because there is so much going on." Some of those guestsinclude A-list names like Mariah Carey, Chris Rock and Alicia Keys.
At a press junket in Chicago over the weekend, which Howard sat out of, Henson told ET that things with her co-star were "going great," before redirecting the conversation.
Empire was back in production when a judge ruled on Howard's divorce proceedings on Monday. 
Lets just hope all these celebrity appearance wont water down the brand now that everyone wants to be on the show.

Chicago native soul singer Chaka Khan will be joining season 21 of  Dancing With the Stars. It  premieres Monday, Sept. 14  on ABC, and the remaining contestants will be revealed on Sept. 2 on Good Morning America.



Spike Lee's new Amazon movie Chiraq will be released in theatres in December. The movie is hoping to be considered for next year's Academy Awards. Lee just wrapped up filming in Chicago. It's that city's violence that's' focused on in the film. There was some controversy when Mayor Rahm Emanuel let his feelings be known he was not in support of the film's slant, including the title, Chiraq, which is slang for Chicago violence. Chiraq, the first release under Amazon Studios, stars newcomer Teyonah Parris, Nick Cannon, Wesley Snipes, Jennifer Hudson, Angela Bassett, Jon Cusack, Samuel L. Jackson, La La Anthony and Dave Chappelle.




According to stltoday.com, Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner of stations including KDNL (Channel 30) in St. Louis, and Dish network have reached an agreement restoring the stations' signal to the satellite provider. The stations had been blacked out about 24 hours.
The agreement was reached after the FCC intervened in the dispute. Terms weren't disclosed.

Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner of 129 stations nationwide including KDNL (Channel 30) in St. Louis, blacked out its stations on Dish network in a dispute with the satellite provider earlier this week. That meant Dish subscribers were  unable to watch ABC programming and everything else on KDNL until the situation, which hinges on fees, is resolved.
Dish called the move "the largest local channel blackout in history of television" and accused Sinclair of intending to "intentionally exploit millions of innocent consumers."

The blackout took place at 4 p.m. Tuesday, a little more than a week after Sinclair's retransmission contract with Dish expired.

Now everyone can go back to watching judge shows, cooking shows and mind numbing baby daddy shows. LOL

Celebrity fitness trainer and St. Louis Cardinals exec Donta Wade made a commercIal  to promote the organizations duffel bag giveaways at a recent game.

HINT 3.He co-starred with Janet Jackson on a movie

This week we feature Saint Louis University alum, former STL native and current ATL resident Tani Thomas on vacay in Miami.




This week we feature St Louis socialite Ladyre Richardson, who is sporting a lovely assymetrical shear white short sleeve blouse with black bra underneath and painted canvas knee high pants and yellow pumps.

Why didnt that black reporters former colleagues didnt take his threats of getting revenge at that station seriously? And why did the reporter post the shooting of his colleagues on social media? Why arent there any one to compete with Donald Trump for the  GOP Presidency? And why does it seem that he is giving what the media wants with his polarizing comments about Mexicans? Why is that cheating while married site Ashley Madison called such? Why is there gonna be a Caitlyn Jenner costume for Halloween? Why did Chris Brown get two tatts on his head? Why did folks on that NAPA Wine trip lie and say those black woMen were loud on the train? Why did it take the movie "Straight Out of Compton" for Dr Dre to pen an apology to abusing women" Why were people expecting Common to have beef about Drake dating his ex Serena Williams? And why are there so any reality shows filmed in Atlanta?
