This
week, a dee-jay on San Francisco’s Latino
Mix FM
105.7 pulled a publicity stunt involving St. Louis bred
superstar Nelly’s
2002 No.1 platinum selling hit, “Hot In
Herre.”
Unbeknownst
to the listeners on Monday the newest dee-
jay, Chuy Gomez, began a two day playfest of Nelly’s hit to
advertise the relaunch of Latino Mix FM 105. as Hot 105.7
known in the radio
biz as “stunting” when a radio station
change their playlist all of a sudden when a station has
been sold to new owners and their playlist has yet to be
programmed.
The stunt
reportedly had prompted speculation on Twitter,
with the loop even getting its
own hashtag, #Nelly1057.
According to Raúl RodrÃguez, vice president
and general manager of San Francisco radio and TV at
Univision Radio, it was—no teasin'—a big surprise for the station.
"Our goal was to get people in the Bay Area buzzing about this,"
RodrÃguez says. "We didn't imagine it would go viral to the extent it did."
And It was Gomez who suggested Nelly's song as the
soundtrack to the station's weekend interlude for their "Hot"-related
makeover. "It was perfect in that the station name was going to be 'Hot,'
but as it turns out, it was much more playful than we
anticipated," RodrÃguez says. "We anticipated complaints, but
not sheer joy and nostalgia for Nelly and that song."
In 2003, a station in Austin
We are sure that Nelly was pleased of the stunt because he is
waiting for his songwriting royalty checks in the mail from all that
broadcasting of the song!
Chicago native actress/singer Jennifer
Hudson has cut ties with Weight Watchers. The Oscar winner lost 80 pounds on a
very successful campaign since 2010.
Hudson announced this week she's parting ways with the
weight loss brand. A source confirms to PEOPLE that the
contract was coming to an end and it was a mutual
decision.
"I have chosen to step away from my role as ambassador
"I have chosen to step away from my role as ambassador
and I am excited for the year to come, with many new
projects and lots of new music," Hudson says in a
statement to PEOPLE.
"My experience with Weight Watchers has truly been life
"My experience with Weight Watchers has truly been life
changing. I am grateful for what I have learned throughout
the process and will always take it with me."
According to Patty 411, it
appears their parting was painful because they decided to do more weight loss
campaigns with Pop Star Jessica Simpson.
Hmm, we wonder if it had to do with J Hud's alleged divatude....she has been with Weight Watchers for four years and thats a long time to be a spokesperson of a company...but then again, Jessica Simpson has had two babies and was able to bounce back from both so maybe it had to do more with the WOW factor.
Chicago native and Grammy Award winning singer Mavis Staples is the center of a new biography on her life. Chicago Tribune's music critic Greg Kot has penned, I’ll Take You There, that delves into the
life and times of Staples as a gospel singer with her family Thee Staple Singers to her solo career.
With the use of an unpublished memoir by her late father/Staple Singer guitarist Roebuck "Pops" Staple , Kot traces the improbable story of a young man who arrived
in Chicago in the 1930s and went on to create a gospel-based musical template The Staple Singers with his children that influenced many contemporary music artists.
In other Staples newz, she can be found in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's traveling "Women Who Rock" exhibit.

It would have been nice if the producers and promoters of the general 250 St Louis bday
celebration could have tied in with 314 Day but as always, the city is ethnically polarized and

This week we feature the fruit, The banana.
A banana is an edible fruit produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa.[1] (In
some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called plantains.) The fruit is variable in size, color
and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh rich in starchcovered with a rind which may be green, yellow, red,
purple, or brown when ripe. The fruits grow in clusters hanging from the top of
the plant. Almost all modern edible parthenocarpic (seedless) bananas come from two wild
species – Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. The scientific names of most cultivated bananas are Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana, and Musa × paradisiaca for the hybrid Musa acuminata × M. balbisiana,
depending on theirgenomic constitution.
The old scientific name Musa
sapientum is no longer used.
Musa species are native to tropical Indomalaya and Australia,
and are likely to have been first domesticated in Papua New Guinea.[2][3] They
are grown in at least 107 countries,[4] primarily
for their fruit, and to a lesser extent to make fiber, banana wine and banana beer and
as ornamental plants.
Worldwide, there is no sharp distinction between
"bananas" and "plantains". Especially in the Americas Europe , "banana"
usually refers to soft, sweet, dessert bananas, particularly those of the Cavendish
group, which are the main exports from banana-growing countries. By
contrast, Musacultivars with
firmer, starchier fruit are called "plantains". In other regions,
such as Southeast Asia, many more kinds of banana are
grown and eaten, so the simple two-fold distinction is not useful and is not
made in local languages.
The term "banana" is also used as the
common name for the plants which produce the fruit.[1] This
can extend to other members of the genus Musa like the scarlet banana (Musa coccinea), pink banana (Musa
velutina) and the Fe'i bananas. It can also refer to members of
the genus Ensete, like the snow banana (Ensete
glaucum) and the economically important false banana (Ensete ventricosum). Both
genera are classified under the banana family,Musaceae.

Why did Chris Brown tried to get his groove on with some of the female assistants at the rehab center? Why did Miki Howard do the non disclosure route when she was asked on the Tom Joyner Morning show if her baby daddy was Michael Jackson? Why did Lady Gaga have a performance artist vomit on her at the South by southwest show recently? Why are people blaming Beyonce for Kelly Rowland being dropped from her label? Why did Billy Dee Williams agree to do Dancing with the Stars at his age? Why didnt , Anita Baker pay that construction company that worked on her house? And why are high profile women in teh entertainment biz trying to get rid of the word, "bossy?" .png)
