HELLO OUTTOWNERS!
ITS WEDNESDAY--
TIME TO GET TOWNED!


The big newz story in the ILLI and MO was Grammy Award winning R&B singer Ron Isley was released from Dismus, a half-way house in on Cote Brilliante St. Louis recently after getting shipped there after getting an early release of his three year sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution at Terre Haute, Indiana, for tax evasion.

It also was announced last week on the Tom Joyner Morning Show that he was booked on his next Fantastic Voyage Crusie next May.


I don’t know how true this was, but it was rumored that Isley's ride to leave teh spot did not show up after he was released.


Two legendary newspapers are going to the New media. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat will be revived as a website only newspaper starting December 8th.. The announcement reportedly came 23 years to the day the original newspaper printed its final issue in 1986, after 134 years in operation.

But a legal battle is brewing cuz the current publisher of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat historical newspaper has published a free publication called the St. Louis Globe Democrat for 15 years. Steve Debellis, the current owner, only holds usage of the name whereas it was reported that someone filed for trademark ownership of the name. Debe,ls want the person who filed for trademark status to cease and desist (aka. STOP)


Well, this is a no brainer. Usage does not mean ownership. It just means just that, using it. However, if one filed for trademark status, that means one owns the name. So it looks like Debeills may be S.O.L. on this one. It seems like Debeils may not want to stop receiving ad revenue for his free newspaper. What you think?

Another newspaper is getting new with media is the African American newspaper St. Louis American who just launched a page on the social networking site Facebook.











Two former African American baseball Cardinals: Lou Brock and the late Curt Flood’s estate are auctioning off memorabilia at Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory in Louisville, Ky.


Following former Cardinals Bob Gibson’s lead earlier this year. Brock is auditioning nearly 100 items including a 1967 World Championship ring and the base he stole to break Ty Cobb's all-time stolen bases record. Brock is reportedly not having the items auctioned because of any financial need. Also, Brock is keeping several more items that are particularly meaningful to him. Brock signed with Legendary Auctions after Gibson's sale in July with the same company netted more than $500,000.
The Flood items include his first Gold Glove from 1963, his 1964 World Series ring; and a framed portrait of Gibson done by Flood, an accomplished artist. But there is also an autographed copy of the 1972 U.S. Supreme Court sports player trading decision on Flood vs. Bowie Kuhn.


The auction ends November 18.






St. Louis rap/mogul Nelly recently had a bootylicious b-day party that had many strippers on site thrown by his buddy producer Jermaine Dupri. It was not known where the party was taken place. Nelly was seen in tipdrill mode throwing dollaz and getting his freak on with the strippers.

In an unrelated Nelly newz, we got word that the Nellster was seen doing biz with a white gentleman Tuesday and breaking bread at a restaurant near the Galleria in Clayton. Folk were shocked that the superstar was there gettin there stares on but he took it all in stride and proceeded to his busines smeeting. Hmm, wonder what biz he was negotiating?




Nelly’s St. Lunatic colleague Murphy Lee is currently in Orlando, Florida filming the video for his single, Da Come Up.” Off his DVD/”I’M free” CD that can be purchased at Best Buy starting Dec, 16. It will be directed by STL videographer Dana Christian.

OUTTOWN EXCLUSIVE
Singer and Café Soul host.co-promoter Coco Soul pulled out at the last minute at the Show Me Entertainment’s Best of the Best concert last Sunday at the Ambassador (SEE OUT 723 for PICS) . A showcase that featured some of the STL’s fast rising artists including Nikko Smith, Aloha Mi-sho, Bradd Young and Mo Tre to name a few. Soul, who was there at the event decided not to perform. It was not clear as to the reason to why she did not perform but from a source at the event it was speculated that Soul may have felt she “did not fit in” with the rest of the scheduled performers. Hmm, wonder that was all about? We did see her backstage at the venue and she said, "I'm not performing, yawl." And that was all that was said.... .And speaking of Café soul, the monthly R&B showcase Café Soul has moved from the last Thursdays of the month to the last Fridays at the Loft starting this Friday.
UPDATE: We got a chance to speak to the source herself at Cafe Soul and she said that the reason why she backed out of the Best of the Best was because she saw that time was running out for the acts and cuz Nikko Smith was the headliner, she decided not to perform and give time for everyone else. Well, that was commendable on her part, but there were a lot of disappointed fans in the crowd when it was discovered she was not performing fa sho!

IN THE MIA FILE. Where is socialite Michelle Robinson?















BLIND BITZ. Which socialite was caught getting their “ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZs” on in a chair up in Exo Nightclub last Saturday? (Hint. It’s a male, self employed working with computer technology for businesses in the STL and part of his last name is part of his company and his while last name the same as the last name of a female icon in rock and roll)



STL-ICIOUS. Who's HOT this week in the STL? Singer/promoter Coco Soul and former 100.3 the Beat radio personality Dwight Stone.


Coco Soul. A repeated lister here, Soul got the week started on her shocking deicison at the last minute to not perform at the Show ME Entertainment's Best of the Best Showcase this past Sunday at the Ambassador, but will make up for it with two appearances this week. This Friday, she will host her monthly showcase event Cafe Soul (that was moved from last Thursdays) at the Loft Nightclub on 3112 Olive (SEE ONGOING BITZ SECTION OF BLOG FOR MORE INFO) and on Saturday, will perform along with her band, Soul Alliance at the charity event Zootini at the St. Louis Zoo’s Living World (SEE EVENT BITZ BELOW)











Dwight Stone. This popular socilaite who was formerly a longtime radio personality of the now defiunct 100.3 the Beat is moving straight ahead with his newly formed weekly events at Body Christian Club on 1624 Delmar. Under his membership with the group Young, Fly and Saved (which also includes rapper P Dub) he is promoting this Friday a mix tape CD release party and this Saturday, he is spearheading a talent showcase entitled, Saturday Night Live. At both events he serves as the house dee-jay. (SEE ONGOING BITZ SECTION OF BLOG AND EVENT BITZ BELOW)









????????????WORDZ TO THE WHYZ???????????????????????????
If this is the case, why wasnt Ron Isley's ride waiting on him to be picked up from the half house after his release? Why are people in such in arms with President Obama's deicison to have the 9/11 trial in NYC? And why are the media going beserk over the Prez's 'bowing' to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia? Why did that mother sell her now dead young child into prositutuion? Why does WESL radio host Charlie Tna always says over the radio that he wants a woman to buy him a fish sandwich? And why does WESL radio co-host Prisoner always ends by saying, "Hello to Mrs. Olga wherever you are?" Why do STL party people come out to clubs late and then try to stay until the security people make them leave when the club closes? Why did Coco Soul decide not to perform at Best of the Best Showcase at the Ambassador? And why did some car jackers recently try and steal a car unsuccessfully three times after getting shooed away by the cops on Miami in North St. Louis?

The St. Louis Rhythm & Blues Preservation Society is kicking off its new master class series with legendary harmonica player and Mississippi Delta-born bluesman Big George Brock.

“Up Close With Big George Brock” will take place on Tuesday, December 8 at 6:30pm at Portfolio Gallery in Grand Center.

3514 Delmar Boulevard in Grand Center

TICKETS: $15.00 (Adults); $10.00 (Students with ID card)

Big George Brock is as authentic as they come. He learned to play the blues firsthand from men like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf and not from their records. Today, at 77 years-old and over fifty years after leaving the Delta, he is still a favorite of blues lovers. He will tell all and showcase his musical talents during the “Up Close With...” master class on December 8th.



Tickets for the “Up Close With...” master class can be purchased in advance by calling 877-808-2696. Tickets can also be purchased on the night of the master class.
