HEY OUTTOWNERS!
ITS WEDNESDAY--TIME TO GET OUT!
Prayers continue for the victims of the devastating earthquake in Haiti as aides from across the world have come to the rescue of the city of Port au Prince. Also, just got word that another after shock occurred today that registered 6.1. (SEE HAITIAN EVENT BENEFITS DOWN BELOW)
THE BIG STORY THIS WEEK was the return of former St. Louis Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire
to St. Louis for the event Cardinals Care Winter Warmup at Hyatt Regency. On Sunday, McGwire reportedly emerged to a rock-concert atmosphere, and received a hero's welcome from still-adoring fans, who gave him a standing ovation for well over a minute .
At the event he told the crowd, “ I've learned a lot. First of all, you kids out there, steroids are bad. I made a huge mistake in my life, and it's something that I want you guys to learn from. They're illegal and they're bad for you. Don't ever, ever go down that road."
McGwire asked questions, expressing his excitement about taking over as the team's hitting coach and his relief at having admitted to steroid use after concealing it for more than a decade. He even cracked a joke, saying that if opposing fans come out to the park to boo him, "it might help bring more fans out to the ballpark to watch the Cardinals."
But not everyone was happy of his revelation, mainly former 1980s Cards slugger Jack Clark (PICTURED) who also attended the Warmup. Prior to McGwire’s arrival to St. Louis, Clark told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that McGwuire “was a cheat and a fraud and he won't shake his hand because just seeing him in uniform makes me throw up."Clark also said about steroid users, "They're all creeps. All these guys have been liars . . . They're not really a man's man. They're just whimpering boys who are just sad to watch . . . I don't know how they sleep at night, looking at all their fame, let alone the money they took by faking everybody out and lying to everybody."
When Clark arrived at the Warmup, he got a set of boos after his comments about McGwire’s interview with Bob Costas revealing taking steroids. Clark said that he was a “cheat and a fraud.” After the event, Clark reportedly said, "It's nice he said some stuff. But there are more than 100 others who are still to come forward. "I've just never seen a coach be bigger than the team in any way shape or form. I just don't get it."
Well we are thinking this was a great PR strategy in the McGwire camp for him to come out before coming to St. Louis and have the fans on his side—and it worked. And Jack Clark, who told his truth, was figuratively spat on by the STL crowd on his comments, Amazing. We wonder if the STL would have been all forgiven say, if it were Cards superstars Ozzie Smith, Bob Gibson or Lou Brock?
Two St. Louis based projects won big at the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards out on at the Kodak Theatre Sunday.

I feel his pain in all aspects because if it happened in Senegal, I'd be in the same position. So that's why we do whatever we can and assist him in whatever it is, including him and everyone else, they all need help. I think we should put our hands in that same pot and try to find a way to stir that soup [together]."

“It's awesome to be back," he said before taking questions. "Visiting the [new] ballpark was phenomenal, first time I've seen it. It's going to be a joy to go to the ballpark every day to work. Most importantly I'm just glad they got [construction on Interstate 64] finished. That's the only reason why I'm coming back, is because they finally fixed it.

"A lot of times, things like [critiques of Wyclef's organization] are really irrelevant," Akon said in an interview with MTV. "Because it's obvious he's trying to do good. Especially for Haiti, his loyalty to Haiti, you can't really question. In the beginning his foundation was in the start-up stages and he had to get the team together, he had to find the right staff and crew that could actually handle those things.
"He had a lot on his plate. Naturally, of course, when you have a lot on your plate, you're an entertainer and you're moving around performing and doing humanitarian acts through the world, it's going to be hard to keep an eye on everything with your foundation. Some things are going slip through the cracks. But I don't think that's fair to put him under the gun for things like that because at the end of the day, you know where his heart is."
We ditto Akon's sentiments. Even in good, there are some bad seeds.

Evening Whirl photographer King Yella (FAR RIGHT OF PIC) made the popular gossip blog MediaTakeout. No, not for any of his biz, but for a pic that the website used from his photo logs. Yella posed with rapper Mystikal (they are good friends) during his visit to the rapper (PICTURED) during his stint in Louisiana's Elayn Hunt Correction Center. The rapper was released from prison Jan 14 after serving six years for a sexual battery and extortion charge with his female hair stylist.
Hmm, we just find it interesting that MediaTakeOut always wants journalists to credit them as a source to stories and such, but didnt even mention King Yella in their story, just used his pic (which obviously has his name on the pic).

NO CELEB BITZ this week.
WORDZ TO THE WHYZ:????????????????????
AT THE GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS Why did the paparazzi get a close up shot of nominee Mo'Nique and her hairy legs? Why was there many gags on NBC by host Ricky Gervais , the same station that carried the event on TV? Why did the orchestra cut off non-stars on their award winning speeches and not the celebrities when they won? Why did Tom Hanks' make a tastletess sex joke about Meryl Streep's co-star in "Complicated?" Why did Avatar win Best Picture? Why was awardee Drew Barrymore blabbering when she won? Why didnt the show Dexter win Best Drama but its stars Michael Hall and John Lithgow did? And why are people thinking Hall won because he disclosed a week ago he has cancer? AND Why did Mickey Rourke butcher Gaby Sibidie's name when he called her name as one of the nominees in the Best Actress category?
OTHER WHY'S: Why are radio stations editing Trey Songz's song, "I Inveted Sex" by shortening it to "I Invented?" Why are there so many scammers on the Haitian relief? And why do Republicans in the Senate now feel they have the upper hand to dethrone Prez Obama's health care bill now that they will get the majority after the Massachussetts Senate race results?
PRO-MO-CIAL-I-CIOUS. Which promoters/socialites are gettin it in this week? Singer Aloha and promoter Dwight Stone and artists Corey Black and Bradd Young (THREE WAY TIE)
ALL OF THE SELECTEES HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON: THEIR INVOLVEMENT WITH THE HAITIAN RELIEF BENEFIT IN THE STL AREA
