OUT 746--ILLIMO--A&E TIDBITZ


OUTTOWNERS!
ITS WEDNESDAY!
AND TIME TO GET OUT!


Happy 2010 (or as I like to say NAPPY 2010) OUTTOWNERS and we are back up again as we continue forward toward our 5th YEAR with OUTTOWN. Each year we try to give ya something different on the blog and this year isn’t any exception. Beginning on this blog, we have made some changes. First, we have changed the name from STL-TIDBITZ to ILLIMO (Illinois and Missouri)—A&E BITZ. Because of the more news we compile beyond St. Louis, we decided to change the name to affect that. Second, we have added more pics (INCLUDING THE LOGO ABOVE) and in a smaller size in order to add more pics (the top three stories will be the only pics enlarged). Third, the font size also will be smaller (the top three stories’ fonts will be larger). Fourth, we eliminated the regular columns DA MYNISTA’s SPACE and FOX FILES and added BLACK REP BITZ, a schedule of shows from the venerable theatre company this season. Fourth, we took away the EVENT SPOTLIGHT characters and just have the picture represent the spotlighted event. Next, any tidbitz item that is featured on other blog posts, we will put the footnote at the end of the item so you can go directly to it); and Lastly, we have changed the column STL-ICIOUS to PRO-MO-CIAL-ICIOUS to better reflect those promoters and socialites who are making headlines each week. Everything else has remained (we have brought back CELEB-SITE that we debuted in December) so now all we need is YOU, the OUTTOWN fans to continue reading as we glide through these weeks of 2010.



NOW LETS GET ONTO THE NEWZ:




This week, the top stories were baseball linked. Earlier this week, ST. Louis Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday and his management team finally agreed to stay with the baseball franchise. Holliday, who became a free agent last season, agreed to a seven-year contract worth about $119 million to return to the St. Louis Cardinals. The deal, which is believed to pay Holliday $17 million annually over the next seven seasons and includes a team option for 2017, remains unofficial pending a physical exam. Hmm, and what does this mean for its superstar first baseman Albert Pujols when he goes up for free agency in 2011?



Hmmm, can Pujols say New York—Ole?

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

The other baseball newz item was that veteran baseball player Andre Dawson. Dawson will be the only player that will be inducted into this year's Baseball Hall of Fame (former Cards manager Whitey Herzog also will be inducted). On Wednesday, and on his ninth try, Dawson received 420 of 539 votes in results announced by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, 15 more than the 75 percent necessary to gain election. Dawson hit 438 homers with 1,591 RBIs in a career that spanned from 1976-96. Nicknamed "The Hawk," he was voted NL Rookie of the Year in 1977 with Montreal and NL Most Valuable Player in 1987 with the Chicago Cubs. The eight-time All-Star outfielder had fallen 44 votes short last year. Dawson stayed with the Cubs through 1992, then spent two seasons apiece with Boston and Florida. Known for his rifle arm in right field, he had a .279 career average and 314 steals, playing through 12 knee operations.







As far as the big entertainment story happening was when controversial and ultra conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh was hospitalized earlier last week in Hawaii with sharp chest pains, but was released last Friday after the doctors found nothing wrong with him.Limbaugh had an angiogram, at, Honolulu’s Queen’s Medical Center.After his brief stay he had a press conference talking about his heart scare saying about the hospital’s health care, “Based on what happened to me here, I don’t think there is one thing wrong with the healthcare system. It is working just fine.”Limbaugh was back on air on Wednesday.



Hmm, isnt it interesting that he got the heart scare in the same city that the Obamas were vacationing? Hmmm.



In other sports newz:



















The St. Louis Blues Organization fired head coach Andy Murray (PICTURED IN SUIT) Saturday. Murray, who guided the Blues to a playoff during the 2008-09 season, was unable to duplicate the same success through the first half of this year's campaign. St. Louis had just 40 points through 40 games at the time of Murray's firing, and the Blues also had the NHL's worst home record with just six wins. Murray, who took over the post from Mike Kitchen during the 2006-07 season, leaves the Blues with a 118-102-38 record. He was replaced by new head coach, David Payne (PICTURED).
After the mixture of cheers and boos at the Blues home game at Scott Trade Center last Saturday, we are not sure if people accepted his pink slip. Hmm, should a new Rams coach have the same feat, or shall we say Defeat? Only next season will tell.
++++++++++++++
Speaking of the Blues, its forward Keith Tkachuk is recovering from dental surgery after getting hit in the mouth with a puck that deflected in off his mouth in a game against its 6-3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks last Saturday at Scott Trade Center .Tkachuk lost several teeth, required extensive dental work and needed stitches to cover a gash near his mouth. He didn't practice Monday, when the Blues returned to the ice and there is no update as to when he may return to the ice.


AND IN MORE SPORTS NEWZ:




Over the X-mas break, ST. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson made the Pro Bowl. Jackson was selected to the Pro Bowl scheduled for Jan. 31 in Miami. Jackson made the announcement himself via Twitter on Tuesday evening. Despite missing last Sunday’s game because of a back injury that has bothered him for more than a month, Jackson still ranks second in NFL rushing yards.It’s the second Pro Bowl for Jackson, who also made it following the 2006 season.In other Jackson newz, he was voted by his St. Louis Rams teammates as the winner of the Daniel F. Reeves Memorial Award as the club’s most valuable player this season.














In other Rams news, two other Rams won awards. Safety Oshiomogho "OJ"Atogwe was selected as the Rams’ Walter Payton Man of the Year representative. All 32 teams nominate a player for the national award, which will be announced prior to the Super Bowl. Defensive end Leonard Little received the Carl Ekern Spirit of the Game Award, and linebacker James Laurinaitis earned the Carroll Rosenbloom Memorial Award as the top rookie.
Oh and if ya didnt know, the Rams ended the 2009 season 1-15, the worst record of the NFL this season. But there is a bright side: they have First Round Draft Pick in this year’s NFL Draft








OUTTOWN EXCLUSIVE: Rammed to Retire? This past Sunday, there was a private holiday party that Rams had thrown at Exo Nightclub in Midtown STL. There, several Rams players partied with special invited guests (we hear all the eats and drinsk were FREE). The Rams players that were spotted were Steven Jackson, Leonard Little, and James Butler to name a few (even ex Rams player Chris Draft was there). Some of the invited guests include mostly behind the scenes members of the Derrty ENT crew (e.g. Nellys manager T Luv) and MPAC Eye Candy Models. From our understanding the party was a party for those who were going away from the team. There was no actual announcement of who was leaving (due to no mic to make that announcement), but from a source it was speculated that it may have been a retirement party for veteran player Leonard Little but there has been no confirmation on it. It is on record that Little’s contract expired this season. When asked about it from a reporter from the St. Louis Post Dispatch, he said, "Right now, I'm just concentrating on trying to get out there and play a little bit," "That's my main focus right now. I'm just going to leave it at that."
Hmmm, we are just surmising, but then again…







Speaking of possible retiring, former St. Louis Rams now San Francisco Niner Isaac Bruce said this week that he was "75 percent" sure that he was retiring after this past Sunday's Rams-49ers game at the Edward Jones Dome. The game was blacked out from TV airing due to low attendance.











Over the X-mas break, the sold out 29th annual Bragging Rights Tourney took place with rivals The Fighting Illini and Mizzou held at Scott Trade Center where Mizzou reigned victorious in a . 81-68 victory. It was the Tigers first win in nine years.  

















Last week, STL based rapper/mogul Nelly last week offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a burglar who reportedly broke into his St. Louis mansion earlier last month and stole cash and electronics early that morning that it happened. The intruder reportedly ran off with a duffel bag full of Nelly's possessions and hopped into a waiting SUV. The St. Louis County Police confirmed there was no physical contact between the intruder and the guests who were in the house at the time. We have heard that a few folk have tipped Crimestoppers on some leads.
Hmm, but still seems speculative to us as far as this robbery. Is itus or do you think you would have offered the reward as soon as the burglary took place? We are just sayin.








In other Nelly newz, the rap star leaked a snippet new song “Gone” a duet with former duet partner Kelly Rowland on the popular live networking network, “U Stream” over the X-mas break where he and Rowland were working (and clowning around) in the Derrty ENT studios in St. Louis laying down the track and giving the public a small taste of the song. The song is a sequel to their Grammy Award winning No. 1 2002 smash, “Dilemma.” The song will be apart of his sixth CD, “Let’s Get it" slated for a March release. 
And in more Nelly newz, his Applebtooms crew have picked models for his Apple bottoms denim line in the Netherlands. His crew is seeking for the Dutch Miss Apple Bottoms 2010, and has received a lot of potentials since their initial announcement and the expert panel selected 15 beautiful ladies was based on their appearance, personality, determination and runway skills." Over the next three weeks, visitors to the official Dutch site for line (www.MissAppleBottoms.nl) will help make the final decision by voting for their favorite.The search for Miss Apple Bottoms 2010 will be held in the best nightclubs from 11 major cities within The Netherlands. The final will take place in Amsterdam, The Netherlands on January 24 at Club Escape during the opening night Amsterdam international Fashion Week.

Chicago based rapper Kanye West also made newz since the x-mas break.West raised eyebrows (shocking, right???) when a photograph was taken of he and pop sensation Lady Gaga who is naked and carried by West , who is tattered in clothing, in a jungle setting with a volcano erupting. Acclaimed photographer David LaChapelle took the controversial photo (Can we say Mandingo 2010?) . It was also reported that he is planning to wed his bisexual former stripper lady, Amber to the Caribbean early this year. The pair will reportedly head to an eight-bedroom, £2,000-a-night villa in the Dominican Republic.














Speaking of Lady Gaga, her Monster tour is sold out at the Fox theatre in St. Louis, including the VIP tickets, this Thursday. Pop artists Jason Derulo and Semi Precious Weapons opens. There has been no confirmation on whether Lady Gagady gaag will make an appearance at the after party put on at and Erney’s 32 Degrees titled, “ Haus of Gaga: The Monster Ball Concert After Party.

There have been rumors going around that award winning singer and Chicago native Jennifer Hudson is pregnant again, four months after having her first child, baby boy, David Jr. But her PR folk are saying HELL TO THE NAW. Hudson’s representatives are insisting that there is no truth to the claims and instead of preparing for a new arrival, the star is preparing for a busy working year ahead.
Hmmm, isn’t this the same PR folk who put it out there that J Hud wasn’t pregnant the first time? WE rest our case. .









Civil Rights Activist Rev. Al Sharpton is scheduled to speak at Harris Stowe University's annual Martin Luther King Celebration Kick-off January 9.

One of those artists almost did not perform because of the event starting late. Well, this person was heard saying backstage, "Shit, fuck that,they gonna give me at least five minute so they can pay me."First, who said this? Second, what event was this and where? (Hint.The person is a female and they do not sing and they are a St. Louis native and their name is a "made up homonym " that sounds like a word that could be used to describe a damaging tire and a pancake)

BLIND BITZ #2)

CELEB –SITE. Who was spotted in the STL? Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield and singer/songwriter Barry Manilow.




Evander Holyfield. The champ was spotted at a Xmas party held on Mcpherson in the Central West End put on by the Mound City BarAssociations annual get together. At first he was just blending in the crowd and at one point was sitting in the den watching football with several other guests (we even saw him yawn a couple of times). He is smaller in person than we thought he would be( but he is no longerin training mode so that could be the reason for his slender appearance). But as the party picked up he was very cordial and tookpics with people who were there at the party. He was brought to the party by his friend, STL Attorney Richard Banks.




Barry Manilow. Also during the X-mas break Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter Barry Manilow was seen in the audience during "White Christmas" at the Fox. According to his friend, actress/singer Lorna Luft (who performed in "White Christmas"), on KMOX radio talk show host John Carney's show she said that Manilow was a suprise to her. He did not let any of the media know he was coming to see her in St. Louis. Luft said that he greeted her backstage to congratualte her.
Hmm, we wonder what people around him were thinking when they saw him sitting there. Probably said, "Is that?....No, couldnt be...But my goodness, he is wearing soooooo much makeup." LOL


If you have a celeb sighting out in St. Louis e-mail us at
maat.atkins@gmail.com and we will post it on a future blog. And remeber we DO NOT want sightings like you saw a celeb at a concert or an after party , but unexpected sightings like at restaurants, laundromats, gas stations, in their car....feel us? Cool.
WORDZ TO THE WHYZ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Why were we holding our breath when Mariah Carey tried to hold up her dress while walking up the steps to accept her award at the People's Choice Awards? Why did that Nigerian terrorist who tried to blow up a plane on Xmas day put the bomb in his underwear? Why did Mary J Blige slap her husband in the face? Why wasn’t it well reported that Alaina Reeddied a couple of weeks ago? Why wasn’t Precious director Lee Daniels nominated for Best Director at the Golden Globes but the picture was nodded for Best Picture? Why did radio host Charlie Tuna come in towork on WESL Monday and the doctors told him not to? Why wasn’t it a big rush of new gym recruits after the Holidays at Ballys in Clayton?Why didn’t Nelly give more than a 10,000 reward for a tipper on who broke into his crib last month? (Shouldn’t it have been at least 50grand?) Why did producer Teddy Riley hit his grown daughter over the head with a guitar (we now know why but we mean why a guitar?) Why do we not care that Simon Cowell of American Idol may be stepping down from the show after the upcoming season? And, again, why do people say it's cold when it's the winter time??????????
