ITS WEDNESDAY!
TIME TO GET TOWNED!
Before we get into the A & E in the ILLI and MO, I ran into a funny and hilarious clip from the classic 1980s sitcoms "Gimme a Break" starring the late actress Nell carter entitled PORKOS’s (and you can just imagine what the episode is about). This has to be one of the funniest moments on TV. Peep it out and let me know what you think.
Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgl1ebCdJHM
OK NOW TO The A &E.
The big newz thing this week and part of last week was the 80th Annual Major league baseball League All Star Game that was here in St. Louis (a first since 1966) and televised nationally. The game and the events that lead to the game made headlines .
The American League won over the National League through the final seven innings secure a 4-3 victory in last Tuesdays game, but the highlights were the events leading up to the game such as
The President of the United States Barack Obama threw the ceremonial pitch to Cards First Baseman Albert Pujols (PICTURE COURESY OF MLB.COM) who had a special glove Obama 44 to catch it (we hear Obama warmed up in the war up area of Busch Stadium before he got the ball from Cards legend Stan Musial—who was honored as well). The gab was mainly on how he threw it and what he had on (A White Sox jersey). On the jacket during an in-game booth interview, Obama reportedly said “Everybody knows I’m a White Sox fan, and my wife thinks I look cute in this jacket, so between those two things why not?”
How cool is that?
Missouri native Sheryl Crow sang the National Anthem (she also performed the Charity Concert along with Elvis Costello under the Archgrounds Saturday night)
All the MLB players and invited legendary b-ballers took part in the red carpet event where a long red carpet draped Market Street from 4th to 8th streets as thousands caught a glimpse of their favorite all-star including Albert Pujols (PICTURE BY CARLSTON EDWARDS)
On Monday, folk checked out the HOME DERBY wherr Prince Fielder won the State Farm Home Run Derby with crowd fave Albert Pujols and STL native Ryan Howard were eliminated in the second round. Fielder won with a display that included a homerun at 503 feet..
On Sunday, there was a celebrity softball game that took place at Busch stadium. Celebs included Nelly (PHOTO BY MTV.COM) Chingy, Andy Richter, Ashanti, Billy Bob Thornton , Ginuwine, James Denton, and Jon Hamm to name a few. The baseball legends who played were Ozzie Smith, and Dave Winfield.
Then their werr a slew of afterparties for the public as well as private. Some of the private affairs included Mike Shannon’s 70th b-day party at Cielo’s in Lumere Place which had attendees such as Bob Costas, Sen. Claire McCaskill, actors Jon Hamm, Billy Bob Thornton and James Denton and Hip hop acts Nelly and Ginuwine.
Nelly was also spotted at an after party that also saw rock legend Chuck Berry.
OUTTOWN managed to go to the red carpet portion of Ryan Howard’s bash Monday at Lumen (SEE OUT 647 for PICS) where several MLB players including Barry Larkin and Derek Jeter and rap legend/entertainer DMC attended.
Also on Monday, At Lure Nightclub, was the Playboy Party were sportscaster and HBO personality Joe Buck, Nelly and . Cedric the Entertainer were seen (WE ALSO GOT SCOOP ON THIS PARTY AT OUT 647 ).
We also hear that St. Lunatics member Murphy Lee had a shindig near the Millennium Hotel
On Tuesday, OUTTOWN peeped out gentleman jack’s After party at Exo where several MLB players attended and rap legend DMC came and performed (SEE OUT 648 )
We also heard that Michael Jordan, Ll Cool J, Jay Z, Beyonce and Halle berry were spotted in the ST. Louis area but no reports on whether they attended any afterparties.

Three STL journalists are back as of late (and we do mean late). First up we just found out this week that former STL Mayor Freeman Bosley Junior (UPPER LEFT) is back on the radio waves with the Freeman Bosley Junior Show (along with co-host Pat Washington) . A few months back, the show was pulled from 100.3 The Beat on Sunday Monings. Well, it’s been back on air for about a month and it is now heard on Saturdays at 10 am on KATZ 1600. Third is former St. Louis American City Editor and current fill-in Donnybrook personality Alvin Reid (LOWER LEFT ) . E also found out this week that Reid is currently a reporter for the St. Louis Argus. He’s been there since May. After his firing earlier this year, he did part work on 101 ESPN FM Radio.

The St. Louis Rhythm & Blues Preservation Society will establish its performance venue inside the current space of Reggie’s Backstage at 522 North Grand Boulevard in Grand Center. The finished product will be a space that operates both as a performance venue for the St. Louis Rhythm & Blues Preservation Society as well as a fully functional restaurant. The Society, as a non-profit organization with its own board of directors, will operate independent of Reggie’s Backstage. During the two-month renovation, Reggie’s Backstage will not only revamp its interior by incorporating sharp R&B style into the décor, but executive chef Peter Barken will also tweak its menu of contemporary American cuisine with new dishes and entrees that have a nice southern flair. The grand opening of the St. Louis Rhythm & Blues Preservation Society is slated for Fall 2009. The re-opening of Reggie’s Backstage is set for the same time.

Former St. Louisan Mike Larnell emailed OUTTOWN to let us know about a trailer of his upcoming movie that we wanted yawl to see.
He writes: I am just hitting you up and letting you know I have checked out your blog on several occasions and I enjoy the read. I noticed you started doing blogs on entertainment coming out of STL. I am a filmmaker from STL. I moved to Chicago from there about 2 years ago to pursue this filmmaking. Please check out a short film I did last year IT SOOTHES MY SOUL. I am going to be filming the indie feature for IT SOOTHES MY SOUL. Due out in Spring 2010. So please check out the video and my website. Thanks

IN THE MIA FILE—Where is Therron Joseph?
BLIND PICZ. Who is the sista in the dyed mohwak going into Exo for the All Star game afterparty Tuesday?
BLIND BITZ EXCLUSIVE. Which baseball player who played and attended after party events during the MLB All star Game went to a popular nightspot over the weekend, spent 12 grand there and tipped a female server 10grand as an incentive for a date and was turned down? (Hint. The baseball player is known by non-baseball fans as one who was romantically linked to a 90’s pop female diva and the spot is located on Lindell)
STL-ICIOUS—who is hot this week? : Kels DK and Brandon Xplicit Thornton.
Kels DK aka Dana Kelly is a poet/singer on the scene who is one third of the promotions group Exit-Left Ent.

Why weren’t the media given access to the Ryan Howard Party at Lumen? Why didn’t Barry Larkin address the media at the party at Lumen? Why were tickets priced at $150 and up for Lure’s All Star Game after party Monday ?Why did someone cut a piece of the red carpet laid out on Market Street during the Red carpet ceremony? Why did Obama wear a White Sox jersey instead of a Cards jersey when he threw out the ceremonial pitch? And why didn’t LL Cool J attend Exo’s after party Tuesday? Why did a brotha groupie in one of the MLB clicks at Exo’s after party Tuesday tried to pull a fast one saying to all the bouncers that he paid a bouncer 100 dollas to get in and was still outside of the club begging to get in? ( He was eventually given access )? Why did DMC leave the Exo party in a regular taxicab and not a limo?
WHYZ extra–Why did YOURS TRULY think The City was much bigger? And Why did the St. Louis Post Columnist Deb Peterson call Ginuwine a rapper in a recent column ?

Streetballers is an award winning film from a filmmaker groomed by Sundance, and represented by top Hollywood representation. And yes.... Living in Saint Louis. It is a truly independent project with years of hard work, thoughtfulness, and skill behind its execution and style. The extremely diverse and talented team behind Streetballers is and will be the key to all future success. We are young artist driven by love, loyalty and friendship. Our goal is to inspire as individuals and our film is a tool to inspire the masses. We’re planning on opening the film in Saint Louis, MO on August 21st then expanding to various cities with a large urban/sports/college market (Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, Denver, Detroit). We have toured the U.S. and won numerous awards through festivals. We have turned down traditional distribution outlets and decided to self-distribute the film utilizing DCI compliant technology (Digital Projection).
In Saint Louis, we set two records. The highest rated film in the history of the Saint Louis International Film festival (beating Oscar winning and nominated films Juno, The Wrestler, and Slumdog Millionaire) and also the highest attendance record selling out the day before each screening. We are looking to release the film in Saint Louis on August 21st we would like to stagger the release in other cities to late September/early October and try to release in conjunction with the LeBron James documentary being released by Lions Gate.
Directed by St. Louis bred Matthew Scott Krentz, who also co-stars, Streetballers hit the festival circuit in June 2008, making its World Premiere at the Hollywood Black Film Festival. It has gone on to play in Saint Louis, Detroit, New York City, Nashville, North Carolina, and Philadelphia, winning multiple awards such as Best Dramatic Feature, an Audience Choice Award for Best Feature Film, Best Cinematography, and a Second Place Jury Award for Best Feature Film. The Streetballers team has attached the popular indie shoe company, Greedy Genius http://www.greedygenius.com/ to create and distribute the official Streetballers shoe, at Finish Line stores this fall. We have also attached three platinum hip-hop artist to the soundtrack and will be shooting the music video this spring to help promote the film and the soundtrack
Just over a month ago, Streetballers writer/director/producer/co-star Matthew Krentz signed with APA and Leverage Management. A portion of the proceeds from the soundtrack will be donated to several different charities. As we mentioned above the team is comprised of loyal,hardworking and loving artists who are dedicated to reaching up, reaching out and giving back to the St.Louis community. We realize and embrace our roles as mentors.We except that esponsibility, while challenging ourselves to be the best rolemodels we can be,we stress education;because without education would not be where we are today. The Streetballers team has an extremely popular film, with a ton of street credit, and has developed a tremendous theatrical strategy of releasing the film in theatres across the U.S. with the Streetballers producer/actors and director touring with the film.

It also aims to increase the community’s knowledge and appreciation of the major role played by St. Louis in the advancement of R&B music. To fulfill its vision, the St. Louis Rhythm & Blues Preservation Society will establish a performance venue for local and nationally-recognized R&B artists.

At the helm of the Society is executive director Cornelius Washington, who holds 20 years experience working with non-profit organizations in the Midwest in program management and fund raising. Cornelius holds a Bachelor’s degree in music and for several years was a high school band director in Mississippi and Georgia.

KMJM personality Tammi Holland sent OUTTOWN an uplifting email from dress collector Tracie Ousley.It reads:There have been a lot of parents that have lost their jobs and have daughters that may not be able to participate in a day that you can never get back, their senior prom. I was sitting at home one evening and was thinking,” what can I do to make a difference.” As I was going through my closet, I came across some formal dresses that I had from either weddings or formal events, it struck me. “I can start a collection and give back to the community.” So I called a girlfriend of mine and she thought that this was a wonderful idea. So here we are. Let’s make a difference in a young lady’s life.Ousley, a Vashon High School Alumni Lounge Is sponsoring a Prom Dress Collection & Sell-A-Thon to raise funds for a 2009 graduating senior.Please go to this link to download flyer with additional informationhttp://www.workshop.scbcreative.com/
