Chicago reared rap superstar Kanye West is reportedly planning to use eye scanners on guests at his upcoming wedding.
The hip-hop star is set to marry his fiancée Kim Kardashian in Paris on May 24, with plans heating up at the moment. 
"He's asked his people to put in a request to French President François Hollande for use of the Republican Guard, which provide his security. He's asked for some of the 3,200-strong team to be dispatched to him for the day and has offered to pay $1 million for their services," an insider claimed to British magazine Heat.
"He's also shipping in retina scanners to check all guests and two former agents from America's Secret Service to detect any intruders."
As well as wanting to ensure his and Kim's privacy, the steps are said to be in part because Kanye fears the wedding could be a terrorist target.

As the big day approaches, Kim got on Twitter recently to dispel rumors about the wedding. She said that they have not gotten married in a small civil ceremony, the wedding will not she filmed for Keeping Up with the Karsadians (just everything leading up to and after will be filmed), and that the ceremony will be small and intimate not thousands of guests.
It seems as though this wedding will be the most sought after for paparazzi to try and get pics, bu the way it looks, many press photographers may be out of luck.....is it that serious? To many it seems as though it is....





In other Kimye news, in regards to the now infamous Vogue cover that the couple was posed on last month is more infamous than commercially profitable.... The New York Post said that early sales figures indicate the mag, which featured Kim in a strapless wedding dress, fell below initial estimates.
"The trends for Kim K are definitely better than the prior month withRihanna, to the tune of 20 per cent better," said Josh Gary, vice president at Mag Net Data.
"I'd argue that if you peg last year's Michelle Obama at 269,000, this issue will net out around 250,000."
The New York Post said that in the first half of 2013, Vogue sold on average 269,740 copies a month at newsstands.

Hmmm, guess Vogue thought people would buy copies of a soon to be wedding of Kimye...the question now is which mag will get the pic of their actual wedding for its cover?





ADD:After carving up offenses for the Northern Illinois Huskies for the past two years, former Huskies quarterback  and Chitown native Jordan Lynch went undrafted in the 2014 NFL Draft. But, he did sign on with his hometown Chicago Bears as an  RB, undrafted free agent.




ADD: The Chicago Bears made Kyle Fuller the second cornerback off the board in Round 1, taking the Virginia Tech product at No. 14 overall.
Justin Gilbert’s selection by the Browns at No. 8 threatened to set off a run of players in the secondary, with Minnesota, Detroit and Tennessee following them. However, no other defensive back was picked until Chicago hit the clock, leaving Fuller, Darqueze Dennard and every safety there for the taking.
Chicago opted for Fuller, who was right up there as a top cornerback. He should see the field immediately.





The defending Stanley Cup champs Chicago Blackhawks lost to the Minnesota Wild this week in Game 3 in  the second round playoffs in a round of seven. They lost 4-0 victory at the Xcel Energy Center in Minnesota....they will play Game 4 Friday at Xcel. 



St Louis native actor Jon Hamm will be on the big screen in his first starring role in a major motion picture, 'Million Dollar Arm' that is due to open  May 16. It is based on a sidenote in modern baseball history, about a particularly far-flung search a hungry sports agent made for new prospects — and how he found two in India.



Chicago based Jet magazine will no longer be in print form. From reports, the 68-year old publication is going to cease publishing. Starting in June, Jet, the sister magazine to Ebony, will only be available in a digital version. The print version is going away, not the franchise. It will live on online digitally. 

The new Jet will be available for tablets and mobile devices and will be published once a week with 
updates daily. 



ADD: On March 20th, Chicago native comic strip producer Aaron McGruder’s absence from the fourth season of The Boondocks was explained by Adult Swim as as resulting from an inability to agree upon working schedules. In a statement released a week later, McGruder explained how painful leaving The Boondocks was, but did not specify his reasons for leaving.
During a recent interview with Huffington Post, Michael B. Jordan appeared as the Chris Brown-inspired character Pretty Boy Flizzy and shed some light on the situation:
Aaron is actually a buddy of mine. And honestly I forgot. He had to tell me, not that long ago, that he got fired from it. And I was like, “What, really?!?” It kind of caught me off guard, I totally forgot.
Jordan does attest that he does not know specifics of McGruder’s removal:
But not knowing the specifics behind it or whatever … So you can’t really make that call. I’m not sitting in those rooms. But to see my boy pushed out might be a little messed up.
Aaron McGruder is currently producing a new series for Adult Swim called Black Jesus.
And the way the creativity and "funny" has been going this season has been going, it will definitely be the last....but our WHY is why would McGruder still deal with Adult Swim for his next project after supposedly getting fired from them?

ADDED: According to the L.A. Times, "Mrs. Doubtfire" is getting a sequel: After more than 20 years, Chicago native comic/actor Robin Williams will be dusting off the floral-print dress, silvery wig and latex mask.
Fox 2000 is developing a follow-up to the 1993 comedy hit, with Williams and director Chris Columbus attached to return, according to the Hollywood Reporter. David Berenbaum, who wrote the Christmas comedy "Elf," will pen the new "Doubtfire" script.

The original "Mrs. Doubtfire" starred Williams as a struggling San Francisco actor and recently divorced dad who dressed up as a Scottish nanny to be closer to his kids.
The film, which also starred Sally Field as the ex-wife of Williams' character and Pierce Brosnan as her new beau, raked in $219 million domestically and $222 million more internationally, becoming the second-highest grossing film of the year after "Jurassic Park."

"Doubtfire" also won an Oscar for makeup and two Golden Globes, for best motion picture comedy or musical and lead actor in a comedy or musical.

Since the film's release, Williams' roles have included an Oscar-winning turn in "Good Will Hunting," but Doubtfire remains one of his most memorable characters.

We wonder why it has taken so long to do a sequel and why is one being done? Maybe its because he hasnt had a hit film since The Birdcage almost 10 years ago and then his CBS sitcom "The Crazy Ones" is on the bubble and may not return for a second season in the fall.


Chicago natives Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy were one of the few ILLI MOians who were nominated for  Daytime Emmy Awards which were announced this week.

 Entertainer announced this week that he 

wasn't returning to host Who Wants to be a

 Millionaire after one season....From

 reports  Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-star Terry

 Crews is in line to succeed Cedric the

 Entertainer as host of the syndicated game

 show Cedric was told of that this past

 weekend, following his 50th birthday on April

 24. The veteran comedian cited his busy

 schedule as well as the production’s move to

Connecticut, done as a budget-cutting

 measure. Cost trimming reportedly may also

 have played a role in the show’s host change

.
Hmm, well as they say money talks. Plus, 

we are sure taping The Soul Man and 

doing movies could take a toll for sure.

Why did Donald Sterling's jump off tape his controversial comments? Why did it take a tape for people to realize his racial antics? And why did he play the cancer card now that he is about to lose ownership of The Clippers? Why are people salty that The Clippers players played ball for after the story broke? Why did the L.A. chapter of the NAACP was still rying  to give Sterling a Lifetime Achievement award? Why did Floyd Mayweather post a pic on Instagram of his ex lady's sonogram of the twins she aborted? And why are folk trippin that Nelly has been seen hanging with Mayweather's ex?  Why does Pebbles think suing Viacom for 40 million over the TLC movie will change people's perception of her? Why did that  NBA basketball player steal those crab legs from he grocery store? Why is Mariah Carey trying to compete with Beyonce's digital album? And Why did American Idol have the contestants  vote on whether to send one home or send two home the next week?
