A new report claims that Chicago native Sherri Shepherd will be returning 

to co-host ‘The View’ in the fall of 2015 as part of a part-time gig. 

It’s been less than a year since Sherri Shepherd, left The View, but she’s

 reportedly on her way back to the hit daytime show! Sherri will be one of The 

View’s new  rotating hosts, along withCandace Cameron-Bure, Stacey London,, 

and Molly Sims, according to the new report.

Sherri will return to The View on a part-time basis, Daily Mail reports. She will be one of 

the hosts who will switch out as the fifth host on the daytime talk show. The report 

claims that the plans are to have Sherri co-host at least twice a week. The news is 

planning on being revealed onThe View before the show goes on hiatus in August. 

The report about this new rotation comes less than a week after co-host Rosie Perez, 

announced she would be leaving the show. 

It was recently revealed that comedienne 

MichelleCollins, would be replacing Rosie and joining the 

show next season, alongside

 co-hosts Nicolle Wallace, Whoopi Goldberg, 

 and Raven-Symone, Rosie O’Donnell, who left The View 

in Feb. 2015.

On July 10, Sherri posted an Instagram photo and message 

remembering her fond times at 

The View. She wrote, “I cried when I left @abctheview 

because of these Producers! For seven 

years they held me, nurtured me, guided me and became

 my Family – love them so much 

because they put their hearts into their jobs.” She posted 

another message on July 12 that

 read, “I might have left @abctheview but I didn’t leave my Family @NicolleSWallace 

@gregpic17 @jamiehammer16 @summur13 @lbda love these guys.” 

along with Chicgaoan Jenny McCarthy,. 

Sherri  called her time on The View the “best seven years of 

her life.” 

Kudos to Sherri on getting her new gig back and its 

especially good now that she has

to pay over 4 grand  a month in child support in the 

surrogate suit  she lost in court last month 

against her ex husband Lamar Sally.

An online petition calling for rapper Kanye West to be

 replaced by a Canadian artist at the Pan Am Games 

closing ceremonies now has the support of more than 

30,000 people.

The Change.org petition, launched by Allen Simans 

after the Chicago-bred superstar was announced as 

the ceremony's headliner on Wednesday, says choosing 

West "raises several concerns among the people."

"Why was a local artist or group not chosen and 

supported, just as our local athletes are throughout the 

Games?" the petition says.

The petition suggests Drake, Walk Off The Earth, Feist, 

Deadmau5 or several other options to replace West. It 

also bears a picture of the infamous moment West 

interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 

2009 Video Music Awards — an incident repeatedly 

used to foment hostility toward West.

Many fans and athletes, however, were thrilled to 

hear West will be performing at the Games.

Pitbull and Serena Ryder are also set to perform at

 the ceremony, which takes place on July 26 at the 

Pan Am Dome.

Well, as they say controversy breeds not just success but 

curiosity. We know why Ye was chosen--it draws attention

and the same ones who signed the petition will be

the same ones there. 

St Louis native TV exec Andy Cohen has apologized to 

actress Amandla Stenberg after he weighed in on the 

Hunger Games actress’ recent feud with Kylie Jenner 

during the July 12 episode of Watch What Happens Live. 

"Today's Jackhole goes to the Instagram feud between 

Kylie Jenner and Hunger Games star/Jaden Smith's prom 

date, Amandla Stenberg, who criticized Kylie for her 

cornrows, calling it cultural appropriation,” Cohen said, 

turning to guests Laverne Cox and Andre Leon Talley. 

“White girls in cornrows — is it okay or nay?"

Both guests seemingly agreed that it was fine for Jenner 

to wear cornrows, but the comments and lighthearted nature 

of the discussion sparked “#boycottBravo” to start trending 

on Twitter, and on Tuesday, July 14, the Bravo host tweeted 

a formal apology.

“I want to apologize to Amandla,” he wrote. “I didn't 

understand the larger context of this cultural 

discussion and TRULY meant no disrespect to her or 

anyone else.” 

Hmm, interesting that Cohen would apologize for his 

opinion--but then again...its all about making the advertisers

happy.....but what we find interesting is for someone who 

exploits the negative behavior of women with the 

Housewives franchises, that he would apologize for 

commenting about the feud. Interesting.

But on the bigger picture, its the Bo Derek syndrome all 

over again where whites incorporates black aesthetics

(i.e. the corn row braid hairstyle) and makes it their own 

or the media's embracing of it.

FIT BITZ

  

Here are this week's female and male in the ILLI MO area who are 

extremely fit, have fitness model quality and/ or have post their 

fitness pics  on social media

This week we feature chef and model Nakia Simone Henderson 

This week we feature Elle Renee who is wearing a summery ensem which

includes an orange tank blouse with an East Indian inspired trimmings, white

khakis, and unique footwear with a black designer hand bag.

Why did director Peter Berg post a transphobic meme about Caitlyn Jenner 

winning Courage Award at ESPY Awards? Why is Donald Trump running

scared about Mexican drug lord El Chapo escaping prison? Why are 

people saying Serena Williams looks like a man? Why do people think

50 Cent is really broke just because he filed bankruptcy? Why is Ciara's

ex Future say that Ciara didnt vow celibacy with him and they have a child?

Why do celebrities like rapper Tyga keep sending sexts and nude selfies

on cell phones to people and knowing they will be leaked eventually to the public?

Why did Rolling Stone Magazine choose to put KIm Kardashian on the cover of

its latest issue? Why is actress Susan Surandon thotting on rapper ASAP  Rocky?

Why did the Emmys expand its nominee roster from 5 to 7 (and in the Supporting 

Actress in a Comedy its 8)? Why wasnt Empire nominated for Tv Drama Series? 
And why did Empire producer Lee Daniels say F the Emmys  for not 
nominating his show? Why did Chris Brown post pics on his Instagram

of his new house?  And again we ask--why do people say its hot outside and its

summer???
