HEY OUTTOWNERS!!!
ITS THAT TIME AGAIN.
TIME TO GET TOWNED!!!
THE BIG A&E STORY THIS WEEK IN THE ILLIMO IS:
"Getting pregnant was a result of bad choices, not having boundaries, sexual abuse from the time I was 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13," she said.
Shortly after the pregnancy, she said her mother sent the young teen to live with her father in
Then she said, "Before the baby was born, I’m going to have to kill myself," adding she did "stupid things like drinking detergent and all that kind of crazy stuff that you do when you’re trying to get attention, when you’re really just trying to cry for help."
Winfrey said losing the baby who she "had no connection to whatsoever" was a blessing in disguise.
"When the baby died, I knew that it was my second chance," she said.
Winfrey also confessed she has no plans to tie the knot with her longtime partner, Stedman Graham.
"The reason this relationship has worked as well as it has is because we each got to define ourselves in it and not in a traditional form," she said. "... I am a different kind of woman in that I am pretty assured that had I married I wouldn't have remained married. I'm just not the marrying kind."
Well when you become a billionaire, you can pretty much make your own rules. And you think Stedman is complaining? Not at all. LOL.
Two 50 year olds in the Hollywood biz with ILLIMO ties won big at the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony held Sunday in the land of LA LA--Jane Lynch and Colin Firth..
Lynch, who's from Doloth, Ill. took home the Best Supporting actress in a Comedy, Musical or Drama Series (this is also her third straight major award win following her Emmy and People's Choice Award) . She won for her soon-to-be cult character, Sue Sylvester, the deadpan humored cheerleading coach on the hit show "Glee."
She was equally enjoyable in making her acceptance speech.
“I am nothing if not falsely humble,” she told the crowd." “The great thing about Glee, the greatest thrill is I have 14-year-old kids coming up to me vibrating out of their bodies saying how happy Glee makes them. When I have the time and I'm not eating and don't want to be bothered, you know, I'll give them a moment of my time.”
“Thank you, [Glee creator] Ryan Murphy for this big fat present. My family in
Lynch is openly gay and married Dr. Lara Embry last year on Memorial Day in
The other ILLIMOiann, Firth, who went to junior high school in St. Louis, won the Best Actor award in a Motion Picture for his role as his portrayal of stammering British monarch King George VI in ‘The King’s Speech’ and had the audience at Los Angeles’ Beverly Hilton Hotel in fits of laughter as he accepted the award as well.
He said, "To get to this stage of your life with your dignity and judgment intact can be somewhat precarious.
“Sometimes all you need is a bit of gentle reassurance to keep you on track but right now this (the award) is all that stands between me and a Harley Davidson.”
In unrelated Firth newz, he was honored with a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame recently.

In related Lynch newz, believes there are many similarities between the teacher and the straight-talking talent show judge.
Jane also admitted she is "amazed" by the public's reaction to Sue and believes people admire her in the same way they respect music mogul Simon.
She explained in an interview with The Sun newspaper: "Simon and Sue say the things people wish they could in their jobs or at their school, but can't because it's not the done thing.
"Just like him, she says what she wants because she can - there is nobody there to tell either of them to stop."
We cant agree more!
Chicago reared rap star Kanye West is back in the hot seat with his tweets. Last Friday, he got into a twit regarding pop diva Britney Spears who’s latest single, “Hodl it Against Me” just debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 charts. He tweeted, “ Yo Britney I’m really happy for you and I’mma let you be #1, but me and Jay-Z single is one of the best songs of all time! LOL.” Get it?
Spears new single had just beaten his and Jay-Z’s “H.A.M.” for the No. 1 spot on iTunes’ download chart, so West referred back to the words he bluerted duringhsi alcohol induced rage when he grabebd the mic from country superstar Taylor Swift during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
This context, plus the “LOL” at the end of the since deleted tweet, made it pretty obvious that he was just kidding around. But some people somehow convinced themselves that he meant to launch actual verbal hostilities against Spears. West had no choice but to return to Twitter this week to clarify his intentions.
“Just saw that MSNBC said I tried to start a twitter war with Brittany,” West wrote in the first of a long series of tweets. “This s— takes the air out my lungs sometimes from blogs to news reports… enough already!!! All I do is focus on my work. There’s a new lie everyday… a new media spin… I never got a watch with my face on it!!! A company tried to give that to me 9 yrs ago! I’m one of the most considerate people in real life. Maybe over considerate. Over caring. Overly real.
There is no astronaut training for celebrity… even though this whole life is so outer space! I was actually surprised that a record as raw as H*A*M could make it to #2 on Itunes. How can u ‘let’ someone be number one??!! That was the whole joke!!! I know intelligent people know this so bear with me. When I said the comment about Brittney I was giving her props for being #1 not dissing her at all! But stop making it seem that my aim is to hurt or down people! That’s just not my style! As pop stars we’re all in this s— together! We on the inside of the TV! If the media wants to make a story … just say I have atrocious spelling and terrible grammar… If you don’t give em a story they just make one up. I’m just trying to focus & stay creative! Keep bringing dope s— to the world!”
Uh, Ye. Yeeeeee. Why tweet the tweet on Twitter when you know the media is waiting with bated breath each time you tweet something. Come on. You know how the media works and you used it yet again to get some publicity….and whats really up with the Kanye watch? LOL

In unrelated Ye newz, it was rumored on Mediatatkeout that he has signed on to do some acting, in a movie about a jazz band with homosexuals in the 1930s. In it, he supposedly will be playing a band member and the movie is supposed to have sex scenes involving the members. The report said this as yet titled film will be funded by Will Smith, Jay Z and Oprah with a budget of 20 million. The script supposedly won none awards, and the Academy has a screenplay program called The Nicholl, and the script for the movie won there twice.
This is all speculation, and from most media players they can’t find such a script. Hmmm.

"They were seen briefly on their way in to the restaurant, and Barack waved to a person who said hello to him from a balcony a few floors up in the Newseum Residences," the Politico quoted the report as saying.
"The first couple dined upstairs with the blinds closed. At about
"Your pool could see Michelle come down first in what looked like a dark sleeveless dress. Barack followed in a jacket and open collar white shirt. He held her coat for her as she put it on and then walked out with his left arm around Michelle. She got in on the left side of an SUV and he on the right.

We think it will be Chicago and The New York Jets in the Super Bowl..
In related newz, If his beloved Chicago Bears advance to Super Bowl XLV, President Barack Obama plans to attend the game in
"If the Bears win, I'm going no doubt," Obama said via CNN’s Ed Henry, after an Oval Office media availability with Chinese President Hu Jintao.
Can you imagine the Prez at the Super Bowl??? Yes. So come on Bears! LOL

THE BIG STL NEWZ STORY IS:
Time is ticking on whether the baseball contract negotiations between St. Louis Cardinals first baseman and slugger Albert Pujols and the organization will be set in time before the team goes to Jupiter, Fla. for training next month. During a press conference at the annual Winter Warm Up (where he was signing autographs for fans at we\ll over $100 a signage) held at Hyatt on the Riverfront last weekend, Pujols said he wants to spend his entire career with the St. Louis Cardinals but he declined to provide any kind of update on negotiations. His agent has said he will cut off talks at the start of spring training if an agreement is not in place, and general manager John Mozeliak confirmed the deadline on this Saturday.
If the Cardinals fail to meet it, its adios Cardinals after this upcoming season and hola to free agency.
A representative of Pujols' agent stood next to Pujols during the press conference before Pujols signed autographs at the Warmup.
"Do you want to bring all that into the clubhouse all year, like you guys have been doing the last couple of years?" Pujols said. "No. I respect my teammates more than this contract."That's why you have to set some deadline on this, and that's it."
Chairman Bill DeWitt said the Cardinals' payroll for next season projects to "well above $100 million," which is the highest ever for the franchise and includes $16 million for Pujols' option year. DeWitt said Pujols was irreplaceable, both as a talent and as the face of the franchise.
DeWitt said the best word to characterize the Cardinals' stance was hopeful.
Manager Tony La Russa said he'd stay out of the talks.
The reports also say just because the Cardinals don’t meet the deadline (which is now apparent that it was given by Pujols) Pujols will leave. It’s a possibly that perhaps The Cardinals could sign him after next season.
Pitchers and catchers report to Jupiter,
We are sure that Dewitt will sign up Pujols before Feb 13--no doubt on that. we are sure the contract has been ironed out and ironed out again. The Cards organization aint no fool. They know Pujols will step if he doesn’t get his way. We are willing to bet the deal will be signed by this weekend.

There are reports coming out that singer Ray J had a scuffle with Chitown native singer Jerimih during his b-day party in Vegas last week according to mediatakeout.
Here's a report, from a local site:
According to a reliable source, there was an altercation between Ray J and Jeremih. Its reported that Jeremih was a little touch feely, walking through the party trying to put his jawn on a few ladies. Well one of those ladies happened to be Ray J's girl! Its reported that Ray J checked Jeremih for disrespecting him and his girl. The details aren't available as the scuffle took place real quick.
Hmm, what is really goin on here? Who knows what actually happened, but is it easy to assume that alcohol was involved? Its likely.
Three ILLIMOians are starring in the indy film, “The Heart Specialist: that is in limited release in theaters which began last weekend. They are
The film, which was filmed in part in 2006, was not well received and did not do well at the Box Office. (No 19 at the Box Office and making over $500,000 in ticket sales). According to one critic, "The Heart Specialist" () never rises above mediocrity. Adding to the overall television vibe is the presence of such familiar small-screen faces as Ed Asner, Jasmine Guy and Marla Gibbs in ineffective cameos. Filmed in 2006 (some parts were filmed in 2010) but only now receiving a limited theater release no doubt thanks to the presence of rising star Zoe Saldana ("Avatar"), the African-American, medical-themed "The Heart Specialist" plays like a poorly written episode of Gray's Anatomy. This awkward, amateurish blend of comedy and melodrama will need life support stat to prevent it from immediately disappearing from theaters.
Ouch. Maybe it woulda played better if it was a straight to DVD flick. But we do hear that Marla Gibbs and Jenifer Lewis are scene stealers and we are definitely not surprised at that!

The fourth single, "All of the Lights" off Ye's platinum CD, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" moves up from No. 88 to No 74 in its 3rd week on the Hot 100 and moves up 20 spots to No. 41 on the R&B/Hip Hop chart....

Denver Broncos running back and St. Louis native Laurence Maroney was arrested late Monday night in St. Louis, his publicist said. Maroney, was released Tuesday morning from a holding cell without being charged, according to publicist Jane Higgins.
Police refused to identify anyone arrested but said five men were arrested about 10:30 p.m. after police spotted three vehicles disrupting traffic outside the Chaifetz Arena. Police arrested the men on suspicion of marijuana possession and unlawful use of a weapon.
According to police, officers spotted three vehicles circling the arena and causing a slowdown in traffic as they stopped to talk to passersby. Police said those inside the vehicles were seen smoking what was thought to be marijuana. Police stopped two of the vehicles but a third drove off and was not found.
One of the stopped vehicles was an Infiniti Q56 they pulled over at Grand Boulevard and Cass Avenue. Six people were in the vehicle, and police seized what appeared to be marijuana, a .45-caliber handgun, a 9mm pistol and a .223-caliber rifle.
Higgins said Maroney, 25, owns a late-model Infiniti and was riding in his car on his way to a concert (The State of Emergency Concert at Chaifetz) when police stopped it. She did not know what concert and would not identify the others in the vehicle.
"Mr. Maroney was unlawfully arrested for possession of weapons," Higgins said in a statement. "He holds a permit to carry a concealed weapon. He was not arrested for any drugs nor was he involved in a high-speed chase. He was released without being charged with any offense and we do not anticipate he will be charged with any criminal offense."
Police confirmed that a 25-year-old passenger from the Infiniti has a valid conceal-and-carry permit but was arrested for possessing a firearm while under the influence of drugs.
OUCH.
Police are applying for warrants, and are waiting on lab tests of the substance they believe to be marijuana. The test results could take up to a month.
We gather Maroney will get a suspended sentence but luckilly he had a gun permit!
THREE MAJOR CONCERTS came through the STL last weekend.
On Sunday night (more like Monday morning), Ms Lauryn Hill came through The Pageant. From our reports, many had mixed feelings on the concert itself (which began close to midnite Sunday) not on the time she arrived on stage (which was part of of her tour's mystique) but how she performed her songs. The crowd went absolutely berserk at the sight of the 35-year-old, who was sporting a smart cream-colored tailored pantsuit over a dark brown shirt. Notably, Hill also wore a shrug that had a gigantic fur collar; it kept slipping off her shoulders, but she kept it on all night. Immediately, she announced her intentions for the concert: "We're going to do old music in new ways.Those who stuck around, however, witnessed some remarkable music.The encore's highlight, of course, was "Doo Wop (That Thing)." As the song's familiar plinking piano chords began, the crowd embraced it with joyous abandon.
Throughout the night, Hill herself was lucid and gracious. She thanked the audience multiple times for coming to the show and any ribbing she gave her band mates was good-natured and meaningful"
ON MLK Day was Loosecannon's uber hood concert State of Emergency that was held at The Chaifetz arena starring Rock Ross (PICTURED), Wocka Flocka, Trina, Lloyd and opener Travis Porter.
He wrote in his review: Though Ross was the night's headliner and closing act, it was Flame who stole the show. Flame is a big mess of a rapper, from his recent legal woes to his rapping about nothing. But he's huge on the streets with songs performed at this show such as "Hard in Da Paint" and "(Expletive) This Industry." Rapper Wale joined in during their "No Hands" remix.
Ross, the best rapper on the bill, actually lost the crowd as his set wore on to the point where his songs ended with no applause. Clearly, this was Flame's crowd, and Ross had problems keeping their attention on songs such as "Everyday I'm Hustlin," "The Boss," "All I Do I Win," "Aston Martin Music" and "Play Your Part" featuring Wale.
Johnson also commented about Trina saying, "she's still worthy of the game during her set that included a bit too much fiddling with her tight and apparently uncomfortable spiked corset. She finally hit the stage after a long delay for songs such as "Pull Over," "That's My Attitude," "Nann," "Here We Go Again" and the "5 Star Chick" remix."
Lloyd and Travis Porter were OK, but not memorable.
AND
For the heavy metal fans, the Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne performed a satisfying near three hour set last Friday at the Scott Trade Center.
According to one review on stltoday.com, At the show's outset, Osbourne offered the sizeable crowd a deal: "The crazier you get, the longer we will play."
For once, that wasn't just empty showbiz talk. The audience did its part, and Osbourne, backed by a mostly new band led by flashy guitar slinger Gus G., expanded his set list and played for two-and-a-quarter hours. He mixed essential solo material like "Crazy Train," "Mr. Crowley" and "Mama, I'm Coming Home" with Black Sabbath classics including "Iron Man," "Paranoid" and an especially vigorous take on "War Pigs."
Osbourne is 62 now, and while his rock and roll spirit is still more than willing, the flesh is sometimes weak. His voice wavers off key, he shuffles about and his constant imprecations for the audience to wave their arms or clap along make him seem like a particularly persistent aerobics teacher at the rest home.
Somehow, though, it's impossible not to be on his side. He repeatedly nailed the front rows with a foam-spewing fire hose, dropped the F-bomb in every sentence he spoke and, for the short film that opened the show, comically inserted himself into scenes from "Avatar," "Jersey Shore," "The Hangover" "Twilight" and a Lady Gaga video. Osbourne is one of a kind, and it's fun to simply be in his presence for a couple of hours.
+++++We heard that Yung Joc performed on MLK night over on the East Side we think at Club Flava. But the question is, how many came through espcially during the State of mergency concert? \
Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina, annually one of the most popular autographs at the Winter Warm-Up, was a last-minute cancellation Monday at the Hyatt Regency.
Fans were notified that the award winning catcher would not attend five minutes before he was supposed to take the stage.
Cardinals officials said that Molina opted not to attend the Warm-Up so that he could attend to a family matter. Molina texted an official to alert the team his daughter was ill.
Fans paid $90 for a ticket to get Molina's autograph -- one of the highest-priced and in-demand tickets of this year's Warm-Up. A Cardinals official said that the team was giving refunds, and there won't be a chance to reschedule.
