Before we get into the bitz, we forgot to add the Blind Picz in its usual spot, so we had to position it here.

BLIND PICZ. The King Magazine contest held at the Loft last Friday was off the chain. Here are two pics from there to let yawl know what time it was! LOL

AND NOW TO THE BITZ.

THE BIG ILLI MO STORY this week was Chitown rapper/producer Kanye West debuting is highly anticipated mini film, for his song, "Runaway" in which he directed that aired last Saturday on MTV and BET and various networking sites. It was written by Hype Williams and stars his current girlfriend, supermodel Selita Ebanks as a phoenix/supermodel.

Here is a summary of the film: A near nude phoenix lands in a fiery ball in the midst of a luxury car commercial set who wakes up on a Louis XIV sofa in Kanye's house. In front of her is a large flat-screen TV tuned in to the news. Kanye, remote in hand, says "First thing you learn in this world, baby -- don't pay attention to anything you see on the news." He then adds the phoenix/model to his private petting zoo, which also includes turkeys, sheep and bunny rabbits.

Next, Kanye uses a mixer to play music while the phoenix/model dances provocatively and a small child in red runs across a field brandishing a can releasing a cloud of red smoke. Suddenly, there are fireworks and what appears to be a marching band composed of beefy Scottish men leading a parade float bearing a large Michael Jackson bobble head.

Then there’s a scene at a white dinner party in an abandoned warehouse. Kanye arrives with his pheonix/model.. A guest asks Kanye if he knows his girlfriend is a bird. Kanye, "No, I never noticed that." In the background, white people in flowing robes serve wine to the guests.
Then, Kanye starts playing a piano and ballerinas burst into the room dressed in black tutusThe phoenix/model looks on.

The highlight of the film occurs when a turkey is served for the main dinner course and plopped on the table right in front of the phoenix/model, who jumps up, shows off a 20-foot wingspan and starts shrieking -- sending the other dinner guests running for cover. Kanye grasps his head with both hands.

Kanye and the ballerinas.

The phoenix/model is returned to the petting zoo. Suddenly, the phoenix/model and Kanye share a quiet conversation on a hilltop:

Phoenix/model: All the statues that we see, where do you think they came from?

Kanye: I think that artists carved them years and years ago.

Phoenix/model: NO! They are phoenix turned to stone.

The back and forth continues with the phoenix/model explaining that if she doesn't burn she can't go back to her world and will turn into a statue. Kanye says he doesn't want her to go back to her world.

Then, the incineration of the phoenix/model occurs and Kanye awakes alone on his roof. When he awakes, he runs through the forest (that was foreshadowed at the beginning of the film ) looking for his phoenix/model. But, he sees his phoenix/model through the air wearing a gold breastplate.

On MTV, after the film was shown some viewers reportedly felt the project invoked symbolism of the Illuminati, an ancient secret society that has been linked to contemporary conspiracy theories suggesting an elite group of leaders control the world unbeknownst to the general public.

On Sunday (October 24), 'Ye took to his Twitter page to humorously address rumors that he's a member of that society. He tweeted: "I've got question about "the illuminati" ... what is it exactly ??? ... and why do people think pop stars have a membership???!!! LOL," he tweeted. "Is illuminati and devil worshipping like the same thing ... do they have a social network that celebs can sign up for?"

Hmmm, it is just hard to believe Ye is that naive as smart as he is.

Also, the rapper did an interview with 106 and Park cohost Rosci after the showing of the film, To see it goto http://www.bet.com/video/1389743

We think Kanye is doing what he is put on Earth to be--an artist. He is bringing in abstract expressionism and pop surrealism to hip-hop (and the cinemtography is breathtaking!!!!) . At first glance, the film will have your head scratching on what Ye was trying to convey with the Phoneix (with a compelling performance by Ebanks by the way) and symbolism, but when you dig deeper, and view it several times, you can see a piece of art that will be discussed and analyzed for days, weeks, months, years to come.

As far as his acting goes ---remember Prince's acting in "Purple Rain?" Enuff said. LOL

And as far as the song itself, the publicity on the mini-film didnt help the songs momentum on the charts for it falls out of the Top 40 on Billboard's Hot 100 from No. 38 to No. 54 in its third week on the chart. It debuted at its highest peak No. 12. Meanwhile the third single from his upcoming CD, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, titled "Monster" featuring Jay Z, Rick Ross and Nick Minaj debuts on the Hot 100 at No. 79.

+++++++

In unrelated Ye newz, Ye is making plans for a star studded hip-hop tour with Jay Z and Lil Wayne. He said his dream lineup would include rappers Jay-Z and Lil Wayne. He adds, "I would definitely like to bring Nicki Minaj on tour, Rick Ross, Kid Cudi. ... I'd like to do different tours. ... I'd like to do a tour with me and Jay. I think that's an obvious winner right there. A tour with me and Wayne, maybe me, Wayne, Jay and Drake."

+++++++++

And in more unrelated Ye newz, he has been named being more influential than the president of the United States, Barack Obama, according to a new poll by website AskMen.com. West made it at number five (Obama , who was No 4 last year was No 21) . Topping the list was show host Jon Stewart.

Speaking of Obama, Obama called in to the Tom Joyner Morning Show Tuesday speaking on the importance of people coming out to vote Nov. 2. He also joked about the performance of the Chicago Bears. To hear the interview copy and paste the link: http://v3.player.abacast.com/player/player.php?pid=

Chitown talk show mogul and Oscar nominee Oprah Winfrey is heading back to the big screen as an actress. She signed up to star in a new movie with Oscar winners Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep. The TV host, will appear in a currently-untitled new comedy created by "Sex and the City" writer Michael Patrick King. Winfrey, Bullock and Meryl Streep will star in the film set around a home-shopping TV channel, following the three ladies who "make their way through the maze of mania that surrounds marketing, marriages and the media," according to a statement from the Universal film studio. The role will be Winfrey's first onscreen part since 1998's critically and commercially panned "Beloved" that she also co-produced.

Speaking of Oprah, she and the First Lady Michelle Obama are among several invitees who spoke at t the 2010 Women's Conference held at the Long Beach Convention and Conference Center this week. Before a sold-out crowd of 14,000 people, the First Lady highlighted the little-known needs of military spouses. It was Obama's second appearance at the Women's Conference. She first appeared in a conversation with the wives of five presidential candidates in 2007. Oprah, along with five other women, received this year's Minerva Award (along with Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor) The conference featured more than 150 speakers and guests that included Vice President Joe Biden's wife, Jill Biden, former first lady Laura Bush, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, athlete Billie Jean King, singers Mary J. Blige and Jessica Simpson, actress Goldie Hawn, talk show host Oprah Winfrey, environmental activist Erin Brockovich and journalists Matt Lauer, Diane Sawyer, and Laura and Lisa Ling.

I wasn't expecting to be number one, but I thought I could have gotten mentioned."

Well, at least he was realistic. He knew that the closest he was going to get at No.1 was the song he recorded titled "No .1 " a few years back for the “Training Day” soundtrack. LOL

In unrelated newz, Nelly's comeback song, "Just a Dream" falls one spot from its peak at No. 3 to No. 4 this week on Billboard's Hot 100 in its 10th week on the chart.

We predicted that the song would reach No. 3 when it debuted at No. 12 nine weeks ago. The song has also lost its bullet so it doesnt seem likely that the song will rise again (especially with heavy competition with Far East Movement , Bruno Mars and Rhianna holding down the Top 3 spots on the chart) on the charts. Meanwhile, we might have already missed the mark on Nelly's third single from his upcoming CD, "5.0" titled "Move Your Body" featuring T-Pain and St. Louis native Akon. The song has vanished from the Hot 100! It debuted at No. 54 on the chart last week and strangely enough, is no longer on the chart. We predicted that it would at least reach the Top 20. Hmm, dunno what happened. Hopefully the song will re-enter.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In other ILLIMO chart newz, Chicago native and Grammy Award winning singer/producer R Kelly's 1950s throwback single, "When A Man Loves" is steady making small steps up on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Singles chart this week as it moves up three spots from No. 25 to No. 22 in its ninth week on that chart.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

And in other ILLI MO chart newz, St. Joseph, Mo. native and award winning rapper Eminem's song, "No Love" featuring Lil Wayne, the third single from his CD, "Recovery," seems to be regaining momentum again on the Hot 100 as it moves up 10 spots from No. 59 to No. 49 this week in its 8th week on the chart. It originally peaked at No. 23.

ST Louis native singer/producer A’ngela Winbush’s story was broadcast on TV One’s hit documentary series Unsung Monday chronicling her career from her early days in church, to being a backup singer with Stevie Wonder’s Wonderlove, meeting her music partner Rene Moore, their musical breakup, her meeting, marrying and divorcing singer Ron Isley, and her battle and survival of ovarian cancer. In an interesting tidbit, Kansas City, Mo native and Oscar nominated actor Don Cheadle can be seen in one of Winbush’s music video’s for the 1989 song, “The Real Thing” where he made his acting debut. In related newz, St. Louis Post 's Kevin Johnson was invited to watch the program at Winbush's home. He said that she enjoyed watching the episode.

The big STL stories this week were sports related . First was Mizzou shocking the #1 ranked Oklahoma Sooners with victory Saturday after breaking loose from a group of tacklers, Jerrell Jackson ran for a 38-yard reception for the go-ahead score, sparking a 16-point fourth quarter that helped No. 18 Missouri and ending the top team in the BCS standings with a 36-27 victory over error-prone Oklahoma.

Tied for the top STL story was former St. Louis Cardinals first baseman and emabattled homerun leader Mark McGwire will return for a second seaon at the St. Lousi ards batting coach.

Also, former St. Louis Rams Isaac Bruce's jersey retirement ceremony will be conducted Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome. The ceremony will take place before the St. Louis Rams' game with Carolina -- not at halftime as once reported earlier this year when he announced his retirement from the NFL. . The ceremony begins at 11:35 a.m., or 25 minutes before kickoff. Former Rams head coach Mike Martz, now offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears (who are in its BYE WEEk thsi week) , is scheduled to introduce Bruce. About two dozen former Rams players, many of them from the Greatest Show on Turf teams, will be introduced on the field. Then Bruce's jersey No. 80 will be hoisted into the rafters at the dome. Also, the first 10,000 fans arriving Sunday receive an #80 Isaac Bruce lapel pin. (The dome doors open at 10:30 a.m.) After the game, all fans in attendance will receive a commemorative Isaac Bruce lithograph as they exit the stadium.Tickets remain available for the game and can be purchased at 314-RAMS-TIX or a stlouisrams.com

Prior to the Sunday event, Bruce also will host a private reception for his retirement at Luemiere Place Theater on Oct 29 (which is sold out--SEE EVENTZ BELOW) and on Saturday morning, Bruce will speak to the 2010 Rams squad.

+++++++

In other Rams newz, the team lost in a last second play against the Bucs losing 18-17 against the Bucs in an away game last Sunday. Making them 3-4. The Rams next game will be back at home at the Edward Jones Dome against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

In related newz, speaking of the game Sunday, Rams running back Steven Jackson set the franchise rushing record breaking Eric Dickerson's all-time Rams rushing record. Jackson has topped the 100-yard mark in each of the last three games and his 617 rushing yards rank fourth in the NFL and second in the NFC behind Minnesota's Adrian Peterson (684). In his six seasons with the Rams, Jackson has 7,324 yards. But it was bittersweet for Jackson during his record breaker, for he broke his left ring finger (His second surgery this year following back surgery during the off season) during thatgame. As a result, he had surgery on it Monday. There was no info as of this blogging as to whether he would play in Sundays game against the Panthers.

UPDATE: The Belleville News Democrat reported Thursday that he will play in Sunday's game.

Guess its back to the drawing board with STL native and NBA star Larry Hughes who is looking for a 7th team to play on (in 12 years in the league). It was rumored that the , Miamai Heat was in talks with him to be signed before the start of the season this week but he, along with former Chicago Bullser Flip Murray(who is currently a free agent) were on a short alternatiev list after one of its star players Mike Miller left the team for the season with a thumb injury until January . The ball club eventually signed veteran Jerry Stackhouse, its first choice. In March, Hughes signed with the Charlotte Bobcats for the rest of their season last year.

The Illinois High School Association forced East St. Louis High to forfeit its first five games this season, thus removing the school from the state football playoffs after executive director Marty Hickman ruled Tuesday the school used an ineligible player. That player, 6-foot-4, 250-pound senior Charles Tigue, played in the five games while living in the Belleville East school district, according to the ruling - though he has never attended that school.

Tigue's father, Everett, has said his son had been living with a relative in Washington Park since 2007, Tigue's freshman season at East St. Louis.

The team also has to forfeit its 10 wins in 2009 for using Tigue. The ruling drops the Flyers' record from 9-0 to 4-5. East St. Louis was a No. 1 seed in the Class 7A lower bracket and had been scheduled to host No. 8 Belleville West at 1 p.m. this Saturday.

The question is, "Where is his resident listed as?" Living somewhere is one thing, having mail come to your house with your name on it is another.

UPDATE: It was reported that The East Side Flyer organization sued the ISHA this week and A judge has issued a temporary restraining order that will allow the East St. Louis High School football team to play in Illinois' prep playoffs.
Thursday's ruling overrides the Illinois High School Association's ban of the Flyers from the playoffs that begin Friday because of an ineligible player. The judge felt the devision was not enough time for the team to react to the change with it being days away to the playoffs.

IHSA executive director Marty Hickman says his group could appeal the order as early as Thursday. The judge gave the IHSA until Friday to appeal.

Controversial radio personality JC Corcpran started his new afternoon show on The Big 550--KTRS AM this week.
On his first day, Monday, in his new 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. slot he explained to the listeners his thoughts about getting fired this time last year on the Classic Hits station 96 FM morning show. He said, “ I had a year off to do nothing. It was a shock. I didn’t know it was coming. It was disrespectful. So I was like, what am I gonna do. I had 15 months left on my contract and they was paying me until March 2011. Things could be worse. It was wonderful times with a whirlpool and the summer. Being in entertainment radio might be the lowest rung of the ladder but its part of the ladder. Kinda being in a race. But It didn’t feel right anymore. I coulda been just lounging. But I’m back on the air one day short of the year of the radio show was pulled. “ (PARAPHRASE)

Corcoran replaced former host of the spot, Charles Jaco. Corcoran was hired reportedly for the high ratings he could pull. Also, Corcoran, who have been on several stations in St. Louis since coming to STL in 1984, was fired Oct 2009 from the Classic Hits KIHT (96 FM) morning show along with his crew and was still under contract until the end of 2010.

This week, STL hip-hop journalist B Gyrl had an encounter with hip-hop groupie and Internet sensation Katt Stacks via Facebook and from it got some scoop on an altercation with STL rapper Nick Demio.
Here’s was B had to say on her site, http://www.stlhiphop.com/:

“With all the madness that's been goin down, mofos making death threats and losing their minds about not getting featured on Ali's mixtape (apparently a BIG bag of CHIPS with tha DIP), I COMPLETELY forgot Kat Stacks hit me up on Facebook, and ummmmmmmmmmmmmm, YES, THAT KAT STACKS.
At first I was like "yeah right", *Kat Stacks hitting me up with a friend request, for real?*... that is until I remembered the ongoing he said/she said between her and Nelly (with the last he said being something about her having mental issues after confronting her on the radio about an alledged ongoing affair... oh yeah, then the whole Kat Stacks vs Sidney Starr), then it became plausable, St. Louis is SO ON when it comes to who's sleeping with who drama (I know, I've been a victim of it), if only we could go platnium (sic) in that.

I decided to press my luck after approving her as a friend, hit her up to see if she'd be down with an interview to discuss her least favorite St. Louis rapper...and imagine my surprise when she was cool...not only agreeing to a forthcoming interview, but also dropping a dime about beef she has with another St. Louis rapper, Nick Demio.

Apparently she and Nick Demio were seated at the same table at an event in Miami chatting and drinking.... when Kat says "I said Fuck Nelly & St. Louis and this nigga poured a whole bottle of Rosay on me and spit in my face!"

Wow.

I'm like Really? Nick Demio? REALLY?

And she was like yes, "I thought everything was goin good, until I said that..lame azz!"

Wow.

Nick?

Well, we here at OUTTOWN contacted Nick Demio via Facebook on Wednesday about the allegation and here is what transpired: :
OUTTOWN: Hey fam just touching base. was checkin to see if that Kat Stacks incident was fabricated or a true? They got it all on stlhiphop. thanks .

Nick Demio : Its true.no biggie tho..small thing 2 a giant!.. Been traveling & politicing with ppl tryin to secure a recording deal and i was dwn in Miami, and bumped into her at a club, the broad dissed Nelly and St.louis to my face and i snapped and poured a bottle of Rosay on her..nothing serious..lmao .

OUTTOWN: damn. lol. she cudda pressed charges fam. .

Nick Demio: u rite..lol! sometimes we make quick choices that could cost us evrything..she kno what it is tho..i was caught in the moment, im so passionate about my city and the fact that we need to be on a bigger scale with this music, cuz it seems like we the last in this race..she will be alrite tho...lmao

All we can say is, just like B Gyrl…Wow. LOL

WTF!!! BITZ

We stumbled on some WTF entries this week from two socialites on Facebook that was worth mentioning. First was Hella Fly promotions’ King Kerry (PICTURED)posted an entry on his Facebook page that had us wondering if he was serious or just joking around. It read: “Hey ladies, if you need a pimp to help you sale [sic] yo body, I’m the man for the job.”
The other is Eboni JusGorgous. She got all on Facebook jocking rapper Huey about her sexual skills after he mentioned on the social netowrk about getting fed up with some other man’s woman either wanting to have or having sex with him. She responded asking could she be next to “ride him.”

So what yawl think were they serious?LOL

Congrats to STL model Ebony Williams for winning the King Contest at the Loft last Friday (SEE PICS at http://maatology.blogspot.com/2010/10/out-on-town-834-freetimes-fall-kickoff.html )

Lastly, our thoughts and prayers goes out to STL native/current Dallas resident Paris Caldwell who is currently recovering at home from an ovarian cystectomy she had done last week.

AND

We mentioned last week about Fox 2 personality April Simpson was diagnosed with a brain tumor and was prepping for surgery (which she will have in November and is documenting her ordeal on her Facebook page) , well, oddly enough, several members of the Fox 2 family is currently battling some sort of health malady this year following Simpson’s recent diagnosis . Also on the medical list are reporter John Gasden (brain tumor--BLACK GUY PICTURED) ), anchor Margie Ellisor (throat polyps) and veteran investigative reporter John Auble (prostate cancer).

Our thoughts are with each one of them but is there some kind of Fox Curse goin on? My goodness!

IN THE MIA FILE. Where is socialite/promoter/entertainment producer Michael Henderson ?

MIA FOUND Michael Henderson. We Facebooked him this week and he responded that he is doing some traveling these days and bodyguarding for celebrities in Hollywood, hence his new surname Michael Henderson Hollywood.

ALSO

WE FOUND Chef Willie Johnson,. We contacted him via cell phone this week and he is currently catering for private and corporate events within and outside of St. Louis.

BLIND BITZ. Which national celebrity who was in town last weekend to perform in STL was caught yawning hard at an after spot? (Hint. The celebrity is a male and they were part of a “bigger cast”. The after spot was located in downtown St Louis)

PRO-MO-CIAL-I-CIOUS. Which STL promoters/socialites are getting ‘ it in this week? Promoters Mocha Latte and model/MMA fighter Ashley Salazaar (TIE) and The Men of Hella Fly Promotions (King Kerry and Dano Johnson) and Phil Assets of Liquid Assets (TIE)>

Mocha Latte. (FAR LEFT) It’s business as usual with this lovely queen of promotions. On Monday, she hosts weekly The Best Damned Happy Hour during Monday Night Football at The Label, then on Thursday, she will host the return of her popular poetry showcase Got Lyrics which will be monthly. The first one will be staged at Harris Stowe University Auditorium (SEE MOCHA’s CORNER BELOW). Then , on Saturday, she will be hosting a special Open Bar Saturdays at the Label, called Liquid Massacre for Halloween (SEE EVENT BITZ BELOW).

Ashley Salazaar. (LEFT) This model beauty can be seen this weekend in her debut role in the indy thriller, “Farm” that will be shown at the Hi Pointe Theatre during midnite Saturday (SEE EVENT BITZ BELOW). She is also seeking voters to select the film to be shown in AMC theatres nationwide by going on www.iamrougue.com . Also, she is casting for PIN UP & Tattoo Models for an upcoming national magazine publication where she will also photo graph. (See AUDITION BITZ on ONGOING BITZ) and in a modeling competition where she is seeking voters to vote for her for an all expense paid trip to Cebu, TO SHOOT WITH acclaimed underwater photographer Mick Gleissner.

King Kerry and Dano Johnson.(RIGHT) These bad boyz of promotion are at it again as always each weekend—this weekend is no exception. On Tuesday, they get it in at the Junkayrd Grill where Johnson hosts EBT Tuesdays, then on Friday, they, along with Big Tah Knighten of 3 Way Promotions are teaming up with a special $4 Fridays at the Broadway with a Halloween version of it called "TRICK OR TREAT" YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU GONE GET (SEE HALLOWEEN BITZ) and on Sunday, they, along with Rockhouse Ent., are having a special Sexy as You Wanna Be at The Label with a Halloween version of it as well as rap trio June Fifth’s "RED BOTTOM GIRL PT 3. Competition, The MASQUERADE BALL EDITION.

Phil Assets (FAR RIGHT). This handsome gent hasn’t let Lure Nightclub stop him from continuing his endeavors with promoting . This go round he is assisting with the grand opening of the new spot, Amnesia where Lure Nightclub was located in downtown St. Louis. They will have a Halloween Grand Opening on Friday and Saturday. The event Saturday where he, the owners of Club Amnesia, his event partner Sasha Fiercsome and Team Topher, will have a red carpet affair doubling as a Halloween bash for the group's annual Guilty As Sin Party that they used to hold at Lure Nightclub.

WORDZ TO THE WHYZ????????????????????????????????????????????

Why is Charlie Sheen, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan continue to get a pass on their bad behavior (but T.I. goes back to jail)? Why did the adult film star steal Charlie Sheen’s wallet and cell phone during their hook up in that hotel? And why was the adult film star upset that folk are calling her a hooker? Why did Mariah Carey wait til now to say that she’s preggo and it was already known that she was? Why didn’t Kanye West’s “Runaway” film have rapper Pusha T in it who raps on the song with him? Why did Kanye have a big bobblehead of Michael Jackson in the film? Why haven’t we seen boot camp trainer King James’ reality show Hot Mess? Why is Diddy allegedly threaten to kill his baby mama model Kim Porter’s new boo, actor Jackie Long? And why can’t Kim Porter have sumpin’ on the side and Diddy can have many as he please(supposedly they got an agreement that he take care of her bills for his freedom to screw anybody he wants but the freedom given to her) ? Why did Nelly’s third single “Move Your Body” fall off from the Hot 100 after debuting in the Top 60 last week? Why are the Crown Royal Gas Stations in downtown East St. Louis like a tailgating scene on the weekend? Why isn’t Jessie Jackson Jr running for mayor of Chicago Illinois? Why is their rumors that Johnny Gill went far and beyond to not have original New Edition member Michael Bivins to be a part of the New edition reunion for Bobby Brown to return to the group(Wasn’t Gill a replacement for Brown in the 1980s?)? Why did Clarence Thomas’ jump off say on her appearance on Larry King Show that Thomas may be gay? Why is the creator of MySpace trying to revamp the social network site? Why did Rhode Island governor candidate Frank Caprio tell Obama that he can take his endorsement and shove it? Why is Nene from real Housewives of ATL reportedly acting a foolywang diva fool on the set the Apprentice? And why are we caring about her plastic surgery? Why can’t singer Celine Dion come up with a name for her twin boys? And Why did journalist Jawn Murray go off for getting flack and boycotted for saying called black women, “nappy headed” regarding women’s concerns of Tyler Perry writing the script and directing “Fro Colored Girls?” And radio shock jock Imus was punished for the same thing a couple years ago why did Jawn think it wouldn’t happen to him?
