FOTUS Michelle Obama is set to appear on the NBC weight-loss competition in
November. Her appearance will be in support of a campaign launched by
Partnership for a Healthier America that encourages people to drink more water. BiggestLoser sponsor Brita has backed the campaign.
This
will mark Obama's second appearance onBiggest
Loser. She
first appeared on the show in April 2012, when she took part in a workout at
the White House as part of her Let's Move anti-obesity campaign. (PICTURED ABOVE.)
The
15th season of Biggest Loser debuted Tuesday. Among the contestants is American Idol winner Ruben
Studdard,
Rumor has it that Oprah
Winfrey may be selling the buildings that house her massive production company
Harpo Studios.
According to the Chicago
Sun-Times (via News One) Harpo Inc. has reportedly retained Eastdil Secured
LLC, a 40-plus-year-old top real estate investment company, to weigh various
options, including a possible sale or the leasing of part of the four building
campus, in order to consolidate operations into one or two buildings.
It was in 1988 that
Oprah purchased the 88,000-square-foot complex, even though it was located in a
then-desolate neighborhood. Over the years, Winfrey expanded the campus to more
than 170,000 square feet of studios and office space combined. And the
once-blighted community is now a bustling hub with restaurants, chic loft
office spaces, boutique hotels, and even Google Inc. has an office in the
area.
And thanks to Harpo, the near West
side area’s real estate values have jumped, say property experts.
After Oprah’s talk show
ended two years ago, Harpo studio cut back its operations, although its
employees still use a few of the buildings to produce content for Winfrey’s OWN
network productions.
On top of possibly
selling or leasing off of Harpo properties, Oprah is also reportedly planning
to sell Chicago home to move into a smaller residence, an unnamed source told
Chicago Real Estate Daily.
According to a source
for the Sun-Times, Harpo studios will be actively marketed within weeks.
Elle Magazine and Plainfield, Ill native and Emmy award winning actress Melissa McCarthy both
insist that they are thrilled with a cover that has the “Bridesmaids” actress
bundled up in a cashmere coat, even as critics gripe that the get-up was picked
to hide the plus-size star’s curves.
McCarthy was one of
four actresses actresses featured on the fashion magazine’s “Women of Hollywood” issue. Unlike McCarthy, fellow cover
gals Penelope Cruz, Shailene Woodley and Reese Witherspoon were shown in
more revealing attire.
In a “Good Morning
America” segment about
the furor surrounding the picture, McCarthy’s reps insist the star “loves the
cover” and even picked out the coat.
For its part, Elle
hails its handiwork, claiming McCarthy’s smokey eyes and femme fatale coiffure
were inspired by film noir movies.
“On all of our
shoots, our stylists work with the stars to choose pieces they feel good in,
and this is no different: Melissa loved this look, and is gorgeous on our
cover,” a spokeswoman for Elle said in a statement. “We are thrilled to honor
her as one of our Women in Hollywood
TheWrap has reached
out to McCarthy’s team for comment, but they have yet to respond.
In unrelated McCarthy newz, her CBS TV series "Mike N Molly" is returning for its fourth season on Nov 4. The show was pushed forward from its midseason (January) premiere after its replacement show We Are Men was cancelled this week after
just two episodes. The series will be pulled from the
schedule immediately and will be replaced by 2 Broke Girls, which will now air at 8:30 p.m. , with
reruns of The Big Bang Theory taking
over the 9 p.m.
timeslot (where Mike N Molly will be shown in November).
According to reports, 18 year old Chicago native rap artist Chief
Keef turned himself in to Cook County
Keef -- real name Keith Cozart -- was ordered to undergo random drug
testing as part of his probation, stemming from a speeding ticket he got back
in May in Chicago
Keef pled guilty to the ticket, but apparently
didn't hold up his end of the no-drugs bargain ... so now he's stuck behind
bars. FYI, it's unlikely Keef will serve all 20 days ... but the rapper got out in a few days after being sentenced due to overcrowding. Calls to his reps weren't
returned. (TMZ)
According
to a photo posted onto his Instagram page early Tuesday (October 15), Keef
revealed when he would start his bid.
"Getting
my Self ready To Get Locked Up ! Love Everybody
That Rocks With The So & Da
Glo!," he posted onto Instagram at 8:45 AM Tuesday (October 15).
"Walking
in Court See y'all a**es Later !," he posted at 9:51 AM . (Chief
Keef's Instagram)
Initial
reports claimed Keef's current predicament likely had to do with him not
meeting a child support requirement.
Chicago native and Grammy Award winning singer/producer R Kelly is making headway with upcoming projects. He will be heard on a collabo with Grammy Award winning singer Lady Gaga's upcoming album ARTPOP (that will be released Nov 11 ) on a song called "Do What U Want"
In addition, R.
Kelly's long awaited Black Panties album has been pushed back again.
Rolling Stone reports thenew album, initially slated
for a Nov. 11 release, has been delayed until Dec. 10, due to "last-minute
tweaks in the mastering process."
Kelly released the
first single from the album, My
Story featuring rapper 2 Chainz,
in July.
"My story is all
of this — sex, money, broke, women, love and even church," he said during a
listening event in Atlanta with
Revolt TV in August. "It's all of those things mixed up into one. I'm not
afraid of it. I understand it. It is the nature of life. This gift I have is a
beautiful disease, and I'm glad I got it.
Kelly recently
described Black Panties to Billboard as "a mixture of 12 Play, TP-2.COM and a little bit of Happy People — just a little bit of Happy People."
Lastly, the R will have a song from the upcoming
soundtrack to the sequel to the 1999 film, "The Best Man"
titled, The Best Man Holiday titled, “Christmas I’ll Be
Steppin,” an uptempo holiday groove. The Best Man
Holiday soundtrack is due out Oct. 29 and the film hits
theaters on Nov. 15.
Tipton, Mo native actor David Koechner of "Anchorman" fame was in Chicago recently for the Chicago International Film Festival to promote one of the films he stars in that the festival is showing called, :"Cheap Thrills" a horror/thriller/dark comedy about a man Craig who is
barely making ends meet for himself, his wife and their infant son, and then he
loses his mechanic job. Despondent, he heads to a local dive bar, where he runs
into a former high school buddy who’s now
working odd jobs such as a bookie’s enforcer. Koechner plays a rich, obnoxious L.A. hipster, who
start throwing money at the duo to get them to play along with an increasingly
twisted and grotesque set of stunts.

Robbins, Ill. native actress Keke Palmer arrived at the
premiere of the film CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story that
was held at the AMC Loews Lincoln Square Theatre on
Tuesday
night (October 15) in New York City
The 20-year-old
actress recently chatted with Vh1 on taking
such an iconic role as Chilli in the TV movie.
“I definitely
think so [that this is a role I have to prove something], because I’m playing
someone that so many people love. I’ve played a real person before but I’ve
never played a real superstar before,” she shared.
Keke added on her role as Chilli,
“She’s a superstar so there’s a lot of people that have expectations about the
way she looks, the way she acts, the way she talks, and so as an actor — not
only me but the other girls as well — really want to give people something they
can be proud of.”
CrazySexyCool:
The TLC Story premieres Monday, October
21st on Vh1.
In other Palmer newz, she is the newest model

For the third time since 1996, the St.
Louis Cardinals claimed a 3-1 lead in the
National League Championship Series. The Cardinals are also winless, with a
seven-game losing streak, in the three series, including the 2013 NLCS, after
reaching that precipice of the World Series.
The
Cardinals lost Wednesday to the Dodgers in Game Five at Dodger Stadium, 4 - 6.
The Cardinals are in St Louis to play Game Six tonite (Friday) against The Dodgers and, if necessary Game Seven on Saturday...
If
anxiety isn't an issue in the Cardinals' clubhouse yet, facing left-hander Clayton Kershaw might
bring it about before first pitch Friday night at 8:07 p.m. ET .
"We've
kind of become America St.
Louis
That
is debatable, but there is no arguing the path the Dodgers took to avoid
elimination. First baseman Adrian Gonzalez homered twice Wednesday, and left
fielder Carl Crawford and catcher A.J. Ellis also went deep.
"Guys
weren't ready to lose today," Crawford said.
"Our
focus for Game 6 is to score runs for Kershaw and let him do his thing,"
Gonzalez said. "So if we can give Kershaw some run support, we're pretty
confident."
If
Game 7 is needed Saturday night, Wainwright (19-9, 2.94), the NL wins leader
this season, would start for the Cardinals against rookie left-hander Hyun-Jin
Ryu (14-8, 3.00). Ryu got the win against Wainwright and shut the Cardinals out
in Game 3.
UPDATE: Carlos Beltran and the Cardinals stunned Clayton Kershaw with a four-run third inning, rookie Michael Wacha was again magnificent on the mound and St. Louis advanced to its second World Series in three seasons by roughing up the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-0 in Game 6 of the NL championship series Friday night.
Matt Carpenter sparked St. Louis' big inning with a one-out double on the 11th pitch of his at-bat. Beltran singled him home and the Cardinals quickly removed all the suspense surrounding a team that squandered a 3-1 series lead in the NLCS last fall against San Francisco.
Game 1 of the World Series is Wednesday at the winner of the ALCS between the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers. The Cardinals will be trying for the third title since 2006, last winning in 2011.
