BEFORE WE GET INTO THE A&E NEWZ: , we would like to welcome back promoter Vanita Applebum who has returned back to the live music and showcase promotion game after a year out the spotlight. Her return started last week with Next" The New Listening Party Series with music by 2011 Grammy nominee Calvin Richardson the day after Thanksgiving at The In Spot Lounge. She also revived her Vanita Applebum Ent. Svcs. Newsletter.
THE BIG STORY THIS WEEK IS:
President Barack Obama making news for his pick up game and the stitched up ending last weekend. The President needed 12 stitches in his upper lip after taking an elbow from Rey Decerega, director of programs for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute during a pickup basketball game last Friday with family and friends visiting for the Thanksgiving holiday, the White House said. Obama received the stitches under local anesthesia in the doctor's office on the ground floor of the White House after returning home. Doctors used a smaller filament than typically used, which increases the number of stitches but makes a tighter stitch and leaves a smaller scar.
The president had gone to nearby
The White House said the injury happened during their fifth and final game when Decerega turned to take a shot and hit Obama, who was playing defense, in the mouth with his elbow.
Obama emerged from the building after about 90 minutes of play, wearing a short-sleeve T-shirt and gym pants, and was seen dabbing at his mouth with what appeared to be a wad of gauze. A few hours later, reporters who had gathered on the White House driveway for the arrival of the Christmas tree saw the president in an upstairs window, pressing an ice pack against his mouth before he stood and walked away.
Decerega issued a statement through the White House late Friday. He did not immediately respond to an e-mail request from The Associated Press for independent comment.
``I learned today the president is both a tough competitor and a good sport,'' the statement said. ``I enjoyed playing basketball with him this morning. I'm sure he'll be back out on the court again soon.''
Hmm, we guess Obama was playing deep in the paint. LOL. Is it us, or does it sound like Decerega won’t be playing anymore ball at the White House? LOL
Then, on Saturday, Obama and his family took to a game in the
The 53rd Annual Grammy Award nominations were revealed Wednesday and the leader was

In related newz, Eminem is one of several featured guests on "Saturday Night Live" next month. On December 18, he'll be performing "No Love," the latest single taken from "Recovery." Lil Wayne, who features on the cut, will also appear. The episode will be hosted by Jeff Bridges.
Chitown rapper and 2011 Grammy nominee Kanye West’s latest CD, “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy “ debuted at No. 1 Billboard’s 200 Album Chart this week. Ye sold 496,000 according to Nielsen SoundScan. Some industry insiders had predicted in the early part of last week that he would sell perhaps 550,000 . but the debut peak gives him his fourth straight No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 and the fourth-best sales week of 2010.
In unrelated Ye newz, he got compared to producer impresario Quincy Jones by Us' Magazine’s Ian Drew who interviewed the multi Grammy winning producer. Drew prepped his comparison as followed: "Kanye West is similar to you in that he's the producer everybody wants to work with in the last decade...."
Jones interrupted by saying, “How man? No way. Did he write for a symphony orchestra? Does he write for a jazz orchestra? Come on, man. He's just a rapper. There's no comparison. I'm not putting him down or making a judgement or anything, but we come from two different sides of the planet. I spent 28 years learning my first skill. I don't rap. It's not the same thing. A producer has to have some sort of skills that enable him to be a producer. It's totally different to know what to do with 16 woodwinds you know from piccolos down to bass clarinet. It's a whole different mindset. No comparison. None.
OUCH! First President Dubya dogs him now the Q.
But, Jones tried to clarify his comments on his official website on his comments. He said: I'd appreciate it if people didn't take my comments about Kanye West ( @KanyeWest ) or anyone else for that matter out of context to contrive a story. I have nothing but respect for my little brother Kanye and what he has achieved in his young career and I look forward to watching his evolution as an artist. There is a reason why we put him on the new We Are The World 25 for
Hmm, well if Ye’s success as a great rapper is what triggered Q to be on the remake of the We Are the World single, then why was he and Lil Wayne Auto Tuned to death on that song? Hello. Now he say its reasonable people compare ye to him but at first he said Hell to the naw—all cuz he says he is not a rapper. Huh? We all know Q ids not a rapper. The point was from the journalist was Ye shows progress and artistry production like Quincy Jones—production not rapping.! We don’t know Q, we think he’ s backpedaling and got a senior moment. LOL
In more Ye newz, we are sure you all now have heard that he was booed during his performance at the 84th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. He reportedly performed a few tracks from his new album, “Fantasy” as he made his way down the streets of
WOW. Too Much Playin for real. And yawl know what type of folk were booing if they were chanting
And in more Ye newz, one of his three singles from the CD, “Runway” rebounds on the Billboard Hot100 and moves up 8 spots to No. 42. in its 8th week It peaked at No. 12. and two new songs from his CD debuts this week on the same chart. At No. 60 is, “Dark Fantasy” and at No. 92 s “All of the Lights.” Six songs charting on various charts and no breakthrough singles has yet to move up no higher than No 12. And speaking of singles, he has teamed up again with UK pop artist Mr. Hudson for his song "Anyone But Him," a modern-day "The Girls is Mine." T. He also makes a cameo in Mr Hudson;s video . West and Mr Hudson first recoding together was the song “Paranoid” off Ye’s 2008 CD, “808s and Heartbreak.” And in more Ye newz, he is featured on T.I.’s track, “ Welcome to the World” along with Kid Cudi. It was recently leaked online.
Emmy Award winning broadcast journalist Barbara Walters announced this week 9 of the 10 celebrities who made her Most Fascinating of 2010 List for her two-hour special Dec. 9 on ABC. One was Oak Park, Illinois native actress and Emmy winner Betty White. The No. 1 most-fascinating person will be announced on the special in the second hour of the show.
The No. 1 most fascinating person will be announced on the special in the second hour of the show.In the first hour, she will also show her interview with Chitown talk show mogul Oprah Winfrey talking about her leaving her daytime talk show and her relationship with longtime beau Stedman Graham and best friend Gail King.
Who do you think is the No. 1 Most Fascinating? Folk are saying Tiger Woods. We think its Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagoaveich.
In unrelated Oprah newz, on her recent My Favorite Things Show where she gave out Beetle vehicles, she gave away another of her “fave things Apple's touchscreen tablet iPad.
"Words cannot describe what I feel for this magnificent, magnificent device," she said, holding a 3G model in her hand during that show. "I really think it's the best invention of the century so far."
Winfrey's promotion of the iPad came just days after a digital version of her publication, O, The Oprah Magazine, became available on the iPad (A-HA!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Other items on Winfrey's "favorite things" list included a five-year membership to Netflix, a Nikon D3100 Digital SLR Camera, and, of course, a Volkswagen 2012 Beetle,
STL bred rap mogul Nelly made news this week for his rant on Twitter last wekeend about the low sales numbers for his latest CD, “5.0” that sold 63,000 copies last week and debuted at No, 10 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart.
According to Kevin Johnson’s Blender report on STLTODAY, “Over a series of tweets that ran over a two-hour period Saturday. Nelly tweeted that his label, Universal/Motown, let him down in its handling of "5.0.," including not shipping enough copies to stores and not promoting it properly. Nelly says he did his part in that he delivered a platinum single in "Just a Dream."
Here are some of those tweets:
“ A record deal is a 50/50 partnership!As a artist its your job to provide the record company with music that they (record company) can sell!”
“ When a artist doesn't deliver sufficient material they(artist)gets its budget cut for next album or worse dropped from the label!”
“No doubt wen \ [sic]a artist doesn't deliver a song that does crack top of the charts or even top10 the label is quick to say artist didn't deliver”
“ So who fault is it when a artist gives the label not only a #1 hit but there first top40 #1 n label history! sell 2mill n singles n 2.5month”
“ Who should be held responsible wen a artist has a history for selling records so its not like a new artist n no1 knows his r her name?”
“Benefit of the doubt: Maybe no1 wants to hear music from that artist?well if that was
“ If the music wasn't good how do u get to #1 and 2.5mill!! but if folks say they didn't even no wen the album came out?????”
""5.0""Every1 luvs da album n say its crazy!So wen u hear folks say they didnt no it was out r there were hardly any n the store!”
Hmm. Well from our understanding, through sources, Nelly’s camp did not promote his CD through the social networks and websites and in this dya and age, that’s a muct for artsists to sell CDs. It was puzzling that his CD did not debut higher than No. 10 and sold only 63,000 copies (which was worse than the first week slaes of his so caleld bomb “2008’s “Brass Knuckles”). Should Nelly be pissed? He has a gripe indeed. Shoudlhe should have got on Twitter? Probably not. If he was gonna use Twitter , he shoulda just said that he thanked his fans for buying the CD although it didn’t sell the way he had hoped, but he appreciate those who bought the CD. Our question was, where was his media coach or PR rep when he had tweet fit?
His CD has now dropped from No. 10 last week to No. 39. The No. 1 single Nelly is talking about, “Just a Dream” is still in the Top 10 of Billboard Hot 100 where it falls three spots to No,. 8 in its 15th week on that chart. His fourth latest single, the electro pop “Liv Tonight” feat. Keri Hilson has dropped off the same chart this week after spending one week in its debuted spot last week at No. 75 (akin to his third single, “Work That Body” that debuted at No. 54 and fell off the chart thereafter) ).
In unrelated R Kelly newz, his Grammy nominated single, “When a Woman Loves” reaches its original peak of No. 22 on Billboards Hot R&B/Hip Hop Charts this week in its 12 th week on there. Also, he released the Christmas remix of his single, “Love Letter” the title song from his upcoming album that will be released on Dec 14.

It should be interesting if McGwire is elected due to his denial –cum-disclosure that he used steroids during his career.

Comedian and game show host Howie Mandel is coming to the Four Seasons on Laclede’s Landing Dec 30.
The OMG Tour stopped at Chaifetz Arena the day after Thanksgiving. From reports of the nearly sold out show 2011 Grammy nominated Usher channeled the late Michael Jackson for his laser driven special effect-heavy set with his fancy footwork to the trademark standing in the spotlight like a mannequin as the crowd cheered. He sang all of his recent hits including "U Remind Me," where, according to a review in stltoday.com, he did a little skit with his dancers in which they catch him cheating with one another and abandon him altogether, leading him to exclaim, "You knew I was a playa when you met me!"
Delores Shante of St. Louis American’s Partyline said that portion of the show was “the only miss in the show.”
Usher also worked a brief, strictly dance tribute to Michael Jackson (a highlight) where he wore a pair of “jewel-quinned” dance shoes just specifically for the routine and then removed the shoes once it had ended. He also mentioned he was a "newly single bachelor" and reportedly brought a geeked up , busty female fan from the audience for a sexy grind on a table during "Trading Places." For "Lil Freak," he had pretend sex on a jungle gym. His current hit single, the No. 1 charted "OMG," brought the evening to a close
From reports, “the show was hardly family fare.” The second opner the heavly STL concert visted Trey Songz reporetdly had a strong set perfoming his sex driven hits inclduing "Say Aah,” "Bottoms Up, " "I Invented Sex" and "Neighbors Know My Name." According to Shante, “ Though he seemed to have more oomph than during his previous visits, Songz continued his one-dimensional performance streak. The only noteworthy element of the set was when he attempted to step outside of his R&B box with a rendition of Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody.””
The St. Louis stop of the OMG Tour Miguel who Shante called, “heartthrob-in-training.”
In related OMG concert newz, Delores Shante reported that Usher blurted out on stage at the Chaifetz that Nelly and Ashanti were in the house at his show
Speaking of Trey Songz, prior to his performance at the Chaifetz, he visited the Exchange Food Court on Scott Airforce base in O’Fallon Illinois ti an invitationonly meet and greet with fans. It was reported to OUTTOWN that over 300 peoepl showed up at 3 p.m. at the events; schedueld opening time and many were sent away due to overcapacity of the food court.

Come see August Strindberg's masterful, naturalistic tragedy "Miss Julie".
Directed by Jason Cannon "Miss Julie", a tale of sordid romance between and unmarried aristocrat and her downstairs servant. Strindberg saw the characters as 'living in a period of transition more feverishly hysterical,' and so he drew them as 'vacillating, disintegrated, a blend of old and new. My characters are conglomerations of past and present stages of civilization.'"
