As we enter February, it is Black History Month. So to commemorate, instead of going the usual route of highlighting the “ILLIMO stars” of Black History Month (Maya, Miles, Dunham) from the ILLI and the MO, we would like to showcase other notable black artists who are also from this area.
This week, we commend the late actress Helen Martin.
Helen Martin was born in St. Louis, and a Broadway character actress for many decades, debuting in Orson Welles' production of Native Son in 1941. She appeared in at least a dozen Broadway shows including Jean Genet's "The Blacks", Raisin from 1973 to 1975, Ossie Davis' Purlie Victorious (and later the musical version, which was called Purlie), The Amen Corner and Tennessee Williams' Period of Adjustment. She was an original member of the American Negro Theater.
She first became famous later in life for her guest role as Wanda on the television series Good Times, and later as the wisecracking neighbor Pearl Shay on the television sitcom 227. She also played on the short run sitcoms Baby, I'm Back (as mother in-law, Luzelle) and That's My Mama; as Loc Dog's grandma, Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (1996), the matronly grandmother Mama Doll in the 1998 film Bulworth, and the no-nonsense grandmother in the film Hollywood Shuffle.
THIS WEEK the biggest ILLIMO Bitz story this week was President Barack Obama’s State of the Union Address speech last Wednesday that was televised on several stations and streamed on various news websites .
According to the Nielsen’s ratings, about 48 million viewers watched Obama's first State of the Union address on 11 networks, with Fox TV drawing the biggest share. The viewership was 7 percent lower than for President George W. Bush's first such address in 2002 but 5 percent higher than for President Bill Clinton's inaugural State of the Union speech in 1994.
From 9-10 p.m. EST, more than 9.7 million people watched the hour-plus speech on Fox, with ABC drawing 7.6 million viewers, NBC 7.2 million and CBS 6.2 million, according to preliminary Nielsen
Among the cable news networks, Fox News was the leader with 5.7 million, followed by CNN with 3.3 million and MSNBC with 2.4 million. The speech also was carried live on Telemundo, Univision, BET and CNBC.
In unrelated Obama newz, before his State address, he and Vice President Joe Biden caught a college b-ball game at Verizon Center in D.C. to watch Georgetown take on Duke Obama's personal assistant, Reggie Love, played basketball at Duke and was also attending the game.
There, it was reported that Obama shook hands with several fans as he entered the arena, and sat in a front-row seat (and not the VIP box) with the crowd. And you know security and the Secret Service was on the job while there with fans having to pass through metal detectors and cars being searched as they entered the building's garage.
Wow,if we were near the President, we don’t know if we woulda spent more time watching Obama or the game. LOL
In other newz, football quarterback Kurt Warner announced his expected retirement from the NFL Friday after twelve years in the profession. The former rams quarterback became a superstar while with the St. Louis Rams in 1999, Warner was thrust into the role of starting quarterback after Trent Green suffered a season-ending injury and leading the "Greatest Show on Turf" to their first of three consecutive 500 point seasons, an NFL record as well as assisting with the team’s winning the Superbowl in 2000. he also led the Arizona Cardinals to a Superbowl in 2009 (sort of a bookended decade of wins) It was speculated that Warner was going to retire after suffering a concussion in one of the last games he played this season.

Hmm, we wonder how much of his multimillions we will get for quitting early?
The other big story also was sports related regarding ST. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson. Last week, Jackson’s ex girlfriend was filed a suit against Jackson claiming he abused her while she was pregnant—NINE MONTHS AGO!
His ex boo Supriya Harris is claiming that he beat her while she was nine months pregnant – are completely false. According to CBS Sports’ website, she filed a voluntary statement with Las Vegas police this saying Jackson repeatedly pushed her to the ground in March 2009 and bloodied her hip. Harris faxed her statement, but did not file an official police report and that an investigation would not begin until she did. Harris said Jackson "flung" her against a door until Jackson's nephew interceded. She told police Jackson later urged her to say she was injured during a fall in the shower.
Jackson—who was replaced in the 2010 Pro Bowl by Niners’ Frank Gore Sunday stemming from his season injuries-- called the accusations "untrue." Harris said she would take a polygraph test and challenged Jackson to do the same. If the accusations are proven true and Jackson is charged for the crime. He could be suspended from the NFL’s next season.
OK. Here’s our take. Why did the girlfriend wait so long to file—months and months after the incident supposedly took place? From reports it was speculated that she didn’t get last month’s child support payment for their child and she got upset. OK, is that was the case, then why didn’t she file a suit against him for not paying child support? If any defense lawyer take this case, they are going to have to think how is she going to be taken seriously by the judge on her domestic violence charge? Reports are the investigation would start after she filed so now Jackson has to deal with this upcoming probe as he may face a trial and possible suspension from his bread and butter.
Now don’t get us wrong, if Jackson did abuse her, that is wrong. If he asked her to cover it up when she had gone to the hospital fro treatment, that was wrong on his and her part. She should have filed right then and there after it happened. And whose to say, she didn’t provoke or assault him first when the incident happened? There’s a lot of doubt in all this and we feel that the case will probably be dismissed and Jackson will seek treatment or counseling and pay back child support because that’s all she wanted in the first place.

The big non sports story with ILLIMO ties was the partly STL shot film, “Up in the Air” was nominated for six Oscars this week including Best Picture, Best actor (for Clooney) Best Director (For Jason Reitman) Best Adapted Screenplay, and two Supporting Actress nods for Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick.
St. Louis native actor Jon Hamm hosted Saturday Night Live for the second time last Saturday (the fist was last season). One of the funnier sketches was his impression of newly elected Massachusetts senator Scott Brown , depicting the one-time Cosmo model as an irresistible flirt. One by one, Democratic lawmakers are driven to distracted by fantasies about the new Republican (male and female).
The skit ends with a bit of a pointed criticism of Democrats, with on of the reps asking, "Now are we going to focus on running this country or are we going to waste our time thinking about Scott Brown?"

According to columnist Deb Peterson of stltoday.com, Huda still may get paid from KSDK cuz she has a six month, no compete clause in her contract meaning she can’t go elsewhere for employment for six months and that a local Tv station is ready to hire her after the gag is lifted.

In other J Hud newz, she is set to play Winnie Mindela in South Africa in the controversial biopic ."Winnie” which is adapted from Anne Marie du Preez Bezdrob's biography "Winnie Mandela: A Life," Filming is set for April/May.
The project has gotten bad publicity after it was discovered that Winnie Mandela was upset that she was not consulted on the script and that Hudson, a non-South African, was playing the role (Hmmm, this reminds us of the stink South Africans made when Whoopi Goldberg starred and produced the film version of the South African based Broadway production of Sarafina.)

If you’ve been watching KSDK news lately you probably didn’t see reporter Jasmine Huda there. Well, that’s because the St. Louis native didn’t come to an agreement with KSDK on her contract so she quit last week. Huda was hired soon after longtime anchor Karen Foss quit in 2007. According to columnist Deb Peterson of stltoday.com, Huda still may get paid from KSDK cuz she has a six month, no compete clause in her contract meaning she can’t go elsewhere for employment for six months and that a local Tv station is ready to hire her after the gag is lifted.
Hmm, well there are three other stations, Fox 2, KMOV and the CW. Which one do you think is vying for her?

One of thos STL stars was Mocha Latte who told OUTTOWN that Nunn told Latte that she heard that she ran the STL. As a result, the ladies shared hugs (and no spitting was done by Nunn.

WORDZ TO THE WHYZ?????? AT THE GRAMMY AWARDS.
Why did jazz artist Terrence Blanchard say he's glad he won a Grammy for his song called, "Dancing with Chickens" during the pre telecast? Why is Jimmy Jam starting to look like Pillsbury Dough Boy's father? Why did The Dream wear that awful pink and black trimmed suit? Why did rapper Flo Rida give out his cell phone number during his Red Carpet interview?
Why didnt Jay Z show Beyonce any love when he won an award with Rihanna and barely kissed her when she won hers? Why did the cast of American Idiot fuck up Green Day's performance? Why did the TV camera show model Heidi Klum in the crowd before Seal was about to do his presentation? Why wa sKeri Hilson nominated for Best New Artist (She had a song out with Timbaland in 2007!!!)? Why did Stephen Colbert win a Grammy for Comedy Album? Why was there an opera opening for Jamie Foxx's performance of "Blame it?" And why was he lip synching? And why did he apologize to Jay Z cuz of his Auto tuned song? Why was the 3 D Glasses and the MJ Tribute a let down? And why didnt they have Usher do a dance tribute to the King of Pop? And why was Carrie Underwood asked to even be in that tribute? And why was Drake's non cursing parts on the heavily censored song "Forever" with Lil Wayne and Eminem also silenced by the censored?
