THE TOP ILLI MO STORIES THIS WEEK ARE:
 ActorTerrence Howard, invited Rolling Stone into his 

Chicago penthouse recently and gave a provocative



 interview for the magazine. 


BELOW ARE SOME EXCERPTS:


 Howard is a man of 432 faces: While looking at himself 

in the mirror wearing silk loungewear and a scarf, Howard 


explained that in his head he's actually a young boy - but only


 for that moment. 

Howard is a mathematical genius, according to 

Howard: As the actor explained, the entire world is doing

 math wrong and he is the only one to have figured out the


 true order of the universe. "This is the last century that our


 children will ever have been taught that one times one is


 one," Howard said. "They won't have to grow up in


 ignorance. Twenty years from now, they'll know that one


 times one equals two."

. Howard says he isn't "difficult" for refusing to take

 direction: The actor has a notorious reputation for being


 difficult, which started on the set of 1999's The Best Man.


 But Howard says what they called being "difficult" was


 actually just ingenious acting.



 Howard is never at fault for hitting women:

 When his second wife Michelle Ghent was spotted with a


 black eye after a 2013 trip to Costa Rica, Howard claimed


 she was trying to Mace him "and you can't see anything so


 all you can do is try to bat somebody away, and I think that


 something caught her. But I wasn't trying to hit her." 



Howard's controlling attitude gave his third wife

 agoraphobia:Throughout the interview, Howard and his


 third wife Pak pretended to be happily married and living


 together. It was only later that it was revealed the couple had


 separated and filed for divorce months prior to the interview -


 and it's clear why the couple didn't make it.


But, I mean, he's not perfect. Doesn't do the dishes. Doesn't cook. Doesn't lift a finger. ... We've never been to the 

supermarket together. We've never been to the movies. I've 

never gotten a gift from him. Never, never

.
"And then every minute that he has free, it's to do this," Pak

 said, referencing the plastic shapes. "I help him, cutting,


 drawing and putting things together. I've developed a slight


 form of agoraphobia lately. I never go out. I have no friends


 here. I feel like Rapunzel, you know, stuck in a penthouse


 with my baby."





 Howard loves playing guests his blackmail CD: Though

 Howard said he doesn't "talk about my ex-wife because I


 don't talk about negative things," he later played the entire


 13-minute recording of a phone call in which Ghent 


attempted to extort him.


In the call, Ghent threatens to sell the tabloids tapes of him

 having phone sex and dancing naked if he doesn't pay her


 because "You're a f---ing sociopath. Everybody should know


 it. I'm so sick of the sh-- that you've put me through."


Howard apparently played the tape to show that Ghent is the

 villain in their relationship, a stance that was seriously


 undermined when he, according to the writer, "[glared] at the


 laptop, leaning toward it, hissing, 'You f---ing bitch. Shut the


 f--- up! Shut the f--- up!'"

Wow can you say....straightjacket? 


Actress and game show host  and Doloth, Ill native Jane

Lynch won her second Emmy of her career at The Creative

 Arts Emmys—which took place Sept. 12 in Los Angeles at

 the Microsoft Theater. She won  the Emmy for Best Reality

 Host for her work on Hollywood Game Night. In other Lynch 

newz,  she will be starring in a new series this Fall for CBS

 called "Angel From Hell."

In it, Lynch plays an angel named Amy, who acts as a

 guardian for another woman, forming an unlikely friendship.

There won’t be a second season for “Mr. Robinson,” starring Chicago native CraigRobinson in a show closely based on his own life before he made it in show business. Though the sitcom did have decent ratings (which slipped after its pretty positive debut), it has been somewhat eclipsed by the network’s better-reviewed “The Carmichael Show” with Jerrod Carmichael, which NBC is renewing.
Robinson, who gained a national audience thanks to his years starring on “The Office,” had a tough time even getting “Mr. Robinson” on the air. Originally, the show was picked up by NBC as a pilot in 2013. A year later it was ordered to be turned into a full series with a new creative team — different from the people who created the pilot. The revamped project was completely recast with basically Robinson being the only main actor remaining.
“Mr. Robinson” was set in a Chicago school much like where Craig Robinson taught,back in the day. On the show, he played a teacher who also is a musician — similar to his real life.

Grammy Award winning songstress Chaka Khan was performing at Freedom Hill in Sterling Heights recently when her "Dancing With the Stars" partner surprised her on stage.
Khan knew Keo Motsepe would be her partner for the show, but she had never met him before.
The two dance the Cha Cha to "I Feel For You" by Chaka Khan on Dancing with the Stars' Season 21 premiere on September 14.

And if her dancing is any indication of her winning the dancing ball, she will be watching the winner from the audience. We love you Chaka but we werent "feelin" it. No shade.



This week we spotlight Chicago native actor/singer Ivan Ellis (aka Royale T from the TV show "Empire")  who will be releasing his debut single, "Nobody Else" Sept 28. He will  also have an official single and video premiere party in select cities.

This week we feature St Charles native and 2015 OBSDN Calendar model Damien Eichelberger who is training for an upcoming bodybuilding competition. 








This week we feature St. Louis based and bartender Aris Bowen who is showcasing a "square"look
with a Thomas Dean long sleeve shirt, with blue suspenders and bowtie, snug gray Murano pants and brown patent leather shoes. He will be modeling in Dillards fashion shows that will take place at The Taste of St Louis this weekend that will take place at Chesterfield Ampitheater.

Why was the GOP debate more of attacking Donald Trump than talking about issues? Why was that 14 year old Middle Eastern student arrested for his invention of a clock inside of a briefcase (Couldnt a search of his briefcase have been enough??)? Why are folks shocked at what  Joy Behar of The View says when the show is all about saying controversial things?  Why wasnt a jailer from Pine Lawn in St Louis County refused ER attention after his medical emergency? Why did it take so long for the Miss America Pageant organization to apologize to Vanessa Williams?   And why did the organization want Williams to give an apology as well?

THE BIG ILLI MO STORIES THIS WEEK ARE:




Melissa McCarthy recently launched her own clothing line with one goal in mind – making fashion fun for everyone. 


The actress, 45, admits exclusively in this week's PEOPLE cover story that getting dressed, something she had always enjoyed doing, began to feel more like a chore. 


"It had become a daily reminder of all of my imperfections," says McCarthy. "For the first time in my life it had stopped bringing me joy." 



She realized she needed to make a change, so she did just that. She changed her attitude and her wardrobe. 


"I've been every size under the rainbow, and my sense of style never left me, but my options did," says McCarthy. "I created a fashion line that is for all sizes."

When launching her line, the actress, who is currently in Boston wrapping up filming the Ghostbusters reboot, says she also made sure the pieces in her collection gave women the ability to express how they feel. 

"You should be able to wake up and say, 'I am wearing weird boots and leopard pants and a ripped-up T-shirt and a leather jacket and a big bow in my hair,'" says McCarthy, adding that she makes sure to always follow her own fashion advice. "I'm a mom with two kids – and I wear leather pants and cheetah-print and all kinds of crazy stuff." 

This issue is out today.




Common will be one of the execitive producers of an untitled

 drama series picked up by Showtime. Starring Aisha Hinds  (Under The Dome), Tecquan Richmond(Everybody Hates Chris), Alex Henderson (Empire), Sierra McClain (House Of Payne), Olivia Dawson (Empire) and Jason Weaver (The Ladykillers), the series will be set in Chicago-Written by  Dear White People‘s Lena Waithe ... It is described as a relevant, timely and distinctive coming-of-age story of a young African-American male in which just growing up can be a matter of life and death. Waithe executive produces with Common, Kaplan of Kapital Entertainment, Reid and Johnson, who will direct, for Fox 21 TV Studios. The pilot will film in Chicago later this year.



Despite all of the talk of whether The St Louis Rams will be 
leaving St Louis at the end of the 2015 season, the team will start its season Sept 13 at the Edward Jones Dome and it willplay the runner ups of the the 2015 Super Bowl, Seattle Seahawks, The game will be televised on Fox Sports at noon CST. 

Wonder if singer Ciara will be there to support Russell 

Wilson. Hmmm. 

UPDATE: The Rams won 34 to 31. And it was reported that over 50,000 tickets were given away and sold and only about 30,000 people attended. The venue holds 70,000.



East St Louis native actress Katherine Kine is back with

Season Two of her YOUTUBE series Oh, Katherine.

According to stltoday.com, Grand Center Inc., producers of the New Years Eve event, First Night, have announced this week that  it will not throw the party this December 31.

Center officials will reportedly meet with Downtown STL to see if the event can be planned in December 2016.
In a statement on the center's website, former MayorVincent C. Schoemehl Jr., center president and CEO, said the decision "was not arrived at lightly."
"The event has simply outgrown the Grand Center neighborhood." the statement said. "We realize First Night is a New Year’s Eve tradition for many families in our community, so we’ve been working to find an alternate location."


PKTRS radio host/ Paul Harris will have a cameo in the film  "Mississippi Grind." It stars  Ryan Reynolds and Ben Mendelsohn, who play itinerant gamblers on a road trip.
According to an article on stltoday.com Harris talked abouit how he landed the cameo role:


"I told them a bunch of stories about playing poker, and playing in house games, and they said a couple of those ideas would probably be in the movie," Harris said.
Filming began in early 2014 in New Orleans. Harris ended up being cast as a featured extra who goes head-to-head with Mendelsohn.
"I don't have a line," Harris said, "because if you say a line, they have to pay you more."
The movie opens Oct. 2.


RIP BITZ

Lastly, our condolences to STl rapper City Styles (aka Lavell Boyd) who was gunned down and Wednesday in a drive by shooting in St Louis.  He was 32.

One of our faithful readers wanted us to blast a particular establishment for not serving its alcoholic
drinks in glasses but in plastic cups. The venue, located 
on Washington Avenue in downtown St Louis, was used for a couple of popular event promoters for its party over the Labor Day weekend. The clientele was African American. And because of that, the manager--who is not-African American-- allegedly refused to serve beverages in glasses claiming that "blacks break glasses." If this is true, we say WTF?? Last we checked a person's hand slipping from a glass didnt have a color---so what about the non blacks who were there? Were they given glasses  because their hands qualified for being non-slippable?
Nonsense.  The faithful reader commented on their Facebook page that they all should have dropped their plastic cups with drinks on the floor as protest. 
We say DO NOT SUPPORT THOSE WHO DONT SUPPORT YOU. DONT PATRRONIZE IGNORANCE. HIT 'EM WHERE IT HURTS--IN THE POCKET.


So who do you all think is the venue on Washington Avenue we are talking about?

Why are people already thumbing down Stephen Colbert 's debut as new host of The Late Show? Why is Donald Trump the top candidate for the 2016 GOP nomination? And why did he call candidate Carly Fiorina ugly?Why are folk on Serena Williams for not smiling at her press conference after winning her tennis match against her sister, Venus? Why did the NYPD mistake tennis player  James Blake as a suspect and manhandled him?  Why wasnt Kim Davis fired for not signing marriage equality licenses in Kentucky for same sex couples? Why is Hilary doing Nae-Nae on Ellen? Why did Shaq say recently he didnt invest in a Starbucks because he didnt think black people drank coffee? Why is Ben Carson saying black people were happy? Why are there allegations that Floyd Mayweather took an illegal IV before his fight with Manny Pacquiao? Why is Real Housewives star Sharee was spotted charging five dollars to fans to take pics with her? And why do political candidates use songs by recording artists without their permission?
