This Thursday is VETERANS DAY. Let’s remember regardless of your feelings about wars of conflict—celebrate the human beings who served by force or by choice.
THE BIG NEWS STORY in the bitz is: Kanye West and Oprah Winfrey dominated the big storiez.
Grammy Award winning
According to an article from MTV.com, On Tuesday night, Kanye West took to Twitter to proclaim that he's done with all future press, after taping a "Today" segment with NBC anchor Matt Lauer that rubbed the MC the wrong way. However, on Wednesday, The New York Times reported that, in unedited footage of the interview, West's account of the sit-down appears somewhat inconsistent with what the video shows.
"While I was trying to give the interview they started playing the 'MTV' under me with audio!!!!!!!," West tweeted Tuesday, referring to video of Yeezy's much-ballyhooed drama with Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV VMAs. "I don't mess with Matt Lauer or the Today Show ... and that's a very nice way for me to put it
HE TRIED TO FORCE MY ANSWERS. IT WAS VERY BRUTAL AND I CAME THERE WITH ONLY POSITIVE INTENT ... I feel very alone very used very tortured very forced very misunderstood very hollow very very misused ... I don't trust anyone but myself! Everyone has an agenda. I don't do press anymore. I can't be everything to everybody anymore ... I can't be everybody's hero and villain savior and sinner Christian and anti Christ! ... I can't take anymore advice!!! I create, I'm creative, I have a good heart, everyone will see and understand one day."
According to the Times, 'Ye gets testy when footage of the incident is played during his interview, but Lauer obligingly reduces the audio.
"Yo, how am I supposed to talk?" West says. "I'm hearing it while I'm trying to talk."
Yeezy also appears irritated when footage is played of Lauer's recent interview with President George Bush, in which the former head of state dubs West's 2005 declaration that the leader "doesn't care about black people," one of "the most disgusting moments in my presidency."
"I didn't need you guys to prompt my emotions," West tells Lauer during his taping. "I don't need all the jazz."
"Today" show representatives confirmed to the Times that the interview is slated to air Thursday (November 11) and said in a statement, "We look forward to airing Matt Lauer's interview with Kanye West."
ADD: Kanye is supposed to return to the Today Show on Nov. 26 for a live concert on the plaza. Following the hoopla with this interview, it is yet to be seen if he'll actually show.
Uhhh, Ye may be a bit uncontrollable with his antics, but he gotta sell records and Roc-a-fella, his label, and Jay Z, his boss, aint havin' his disc not sell!
The Today Show knew exactly what they were doing and Ye is smart enough, we hope, to know what they were doing. They were exactly trying to rev him up emotionally in order to get the buzz going meaning more ratings for the show. The way things are going, these two incidents (The Bush comment and the Taylor Swift incident) will unfortunately be the events that will define Ye’s career and his legacy.
The 182 passengers had no idea what they were in for when they boarded the United Flight Thursday morning in
Once on board, instead of watching the standard safety instructional video, passengers were surprised to see an address from Oprah herself. They were given some of Oprah's favorite flight accessories - fleece blankets and bags of Garrett popcorn.
The biggest surprise was unveiled in the middle of the flight when 26-year-old Michael Faulman was awarded a free round-the-world flight.
The Oprah Winfrey Farewell Season United million mile giveaway will continue through May with one lucky winner chosen each month. The winner will be selected at random and there's no way to know which flights will be on the Oprah jet.
So basically, if you get on the Oprah plane, the safety procedures will include that they may win a free round trip somewhere. LOL
In unrelated newz, Oprah and her gal pal Gayle King’s camping adventure was broadcast last Monday and Tuesday on her daytime talk show. In the shows, they headed to
"Let's just add to that lesbian rumor," King said to Winfrey as the two women headed to bed in their Coleman Pop-Up Camper after a night of entertaining other campers. She then beckoned, "Come on in baby!"
Oprah laughed hysterically and in her famous tone often reserved for when she gives fabulous things away to her viewers she yelled: "lesbian ruuuuuuumorsssssss."
Oprah says she enjoyed the whole experience of being at
Well, we can say one thing, Oprah knows how to self promote herself and she and gal pal has a sense of humor about the rumors. Now let’s see how many black people will trek to
In unrelated Oprah newz, she made an appearance at the Glamour Magazine Women of the Year Awards in New York Tuesday where she introduced one of the honorees, Oscar winning actress Julia Roberts, and said prior to bringing out Roberts revealed that she's partnered with Roberts' production company on a new show called Extraordinary Moms. "Because that is what she loves the most." Oprah said Roberts is most alive as a mother and wife.
In related newz, a homeless man in
At first, Bazen says, Oprah opened her purse and told him she was short on money...but when he whipped out this joke, he got a nice tip in return: "Hey, Oprah," the man says he told her, "why is it good to date a homeless man?" Why? "When you're finished [with the date], you can drop him off anywhere."
Bazen reports the joke went over well -- "She laughed!" -- as Oprah's hand emerged with five $20 bills. How did Bazen spend his hundred bucks? "On booze, underwear and a steak dinner," the "Post" reports.
We are sure next up for Bazen—a trip to the Oprah Show, no doubt or at least autographs at his resting stoop. LOL
In more unrelated Oprah newz, Forbes Magazine listed
Kanye West's is back in the newz as his upcoming CD"My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” leaked online this week via Torrent and other MP3 download pirate sites. Many are already raving about what they're hearing too (Rolling Stone writer Rob Sheffield gave the album a 5 out of 5 star rating).
The CD, which is set to be released Nov. 22. has a total of five album covers, The initial one(PICTURED) is the most controversial one (a portrait by George Condo) that shows West being straddled by an armless winged female (a phoenix). Both characters are depicted nude, and one nipple of the phoenix's breasts and her buttocks are visible. The painting is centered on a red background with a thin yellow border. The artwork follows along the apparent theme of the album, as well as West's music film "Runaway".[38] According to an interview with MTV News, this is one of five album covers; all of them will be included with its purchase. A pixelated censored version of the cover is used on iTunes Store.
A second cover, with a painting of a ballerina by Condo, was posted on the Amazon.com pre-order page. It was intended to be the original artwork for "Runaway," but West used a photograph of a ballerina instead.
The third album cover.
The fourth album cover.
The fifth album cover.
In unrelated Ye newz, last Friday, Ye stunned passengers on a Delta flight from
According to Hollywood Life, West, who was seated in first class, jumped on the plane's loudspeaker system about a half hour into the flight and performed clean versions of his hits "Good Life" and "Gold Digger."
"I had to pass through first class to get my seat in economy, and I saw Kanye sitting there with a little drink in his hand," a passenger who witnessed the impromptu show told the website. "I wouldn't have even thought it was him, but he was sitting with a very PR-looking lady. He was like, "Yo, this your n---a, Kanye." Then he couldn't decide if he wanted to do "The Good Life" or "Gold Digger," so he was like, "I'll just do a little bit of both." It was awesome ... but I still have no idea how he got into the cockpit."
Long as he didn’t try to touch the sky on the plane, I think it was harmless. LOL
To see him performing in the friendly skies go to

In more unrelated Ye newz, West made a surprise jump-up on Sunday night at the MTV Europe Awards in
In more unrelated Ye newz, Judge throws out Suge Knights lawsuit against Ye Marion "Suge" Knight is set to appeal a decision made by a Miami judge involving a lawsuit he has against fellow rap star, Kanye West. The Suge Knight lawsuit against Kanye involves a shooting that occurred at a 2005 Miami Shore Club party hosted by West where Suge alleges the security wasn't heavy enough, resulting in him getting shot in the leg. Billboard.com reports that Knight is seeking over $1 million in damages from the rap producer. Reportedly the judge dismissed this lawsuit for insufficient evidence saying a shooting at the party was not foreseeable, but that won't cause Suge Knight to rest his case. West’s attorney didn’t want Ye to settle because he said the lawsuit was "ill-conceived" ever since its start. .
And we agree. Knight is eager for cash—bottom line. That’s just like saying, Someone can sue Mother Nature for rain and they forgot to bring their umbrella!!!!!

And in even more unrelated Ye newz, his songs “Monster” and “Runaway” are resting back to back in the Top 50 on Billboards Hot 100at No. 49 (falling 31 spots in its 3rd week on the chart peaking at No. 18) and No. 50 (moving up one spot inits 5th week on the chart peaking at No. 12) respectively.
In unrelated newz, Em won the Best Hip Hop Award at the 17th annual MTV Europe Music Awards which was presented live Sunday at the Caja Magica Venue in

We wonder if the cards will be popular next Christmas(or even exist)—that’s the question.
Did yawl know that renowned pet/playwright Ntoazke Shange aka Paulette Williams was raised in
Hmm, that’s a nice way of saying she was glad of the publicity but not too happy with how the film was adapted.

KWJJ was a first time nominee and winner. The winners will be announced on the CMA Music Awards program Wednesday on ABC-TV
It appears as though syndicated radio talk show Tom Joyner(RIGHT) let the cat out of the bag on a surprise performance when he had St. Louis resident R&B vet singer Ron Isley on his show Wednesday via Atlanta where he, as well as Joyner, were in town for the taping of the 2nd Annual Soul Train Music Awards later that day where Isley received the Lifetime Achievement Award. Joyner, who did the background voice overs for the show, told his radio crew that Isley told him, in confidence, that Chicago native and Grammy Award winning
singer/producer R Kelly will make a surprise appearance to perform during the Isley tribute as well perform his Top 30 R&B hit, “Whan A Woman Loves” (which is currently at No. 25 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip Hop Chart) . Guess we will find out this week from reports long before it actually airs Nov 28 on BET and Centric.
In unrelated Isley newz, his newest CD, “The I” will be released Nov 30.
In related newz, Ton Joyner mentioned on his morning show today, Thursday, that the Soul Train Music Awards started an hour late (starting at 9 p.m. EST) Wednesday nite due to security checking folk at the front and taping lasted til 2 a.m. EST Thursday morning! And to make matters worse, Ron Isley was scheduled last on the show and from Joyner's report, the legendary singer was "cussin up a storm" for the length of the taping. He finally got on stage at 1 a.m. CST to tape his segment.

In related Nelly newz, his comeback single “Just A Dream” continues its slow slide down in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 this week falling down one spot from No.5 t No. 6 in its 13th week on the chart. Again, the song keeps it bullet and has sold over 2 million digital loads on I-Tunes. It peaked at No. 3. Also this week, Nelly extends his lead for most Pop Songs No. 1s among rappers, as "Just a Dream" rises 2-1. The song is the hip-hop star's fifth No. 1, distancing him further from Eminem, who ranks second with three rap toppers. He trails only Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Lady Gaga and Rihanna, each with six leaders in the Nielsen BDS-based chart's 18-year history.

Former St. Louis Rams QB and city fave Kurt Warner was voted off Dancing with the Stars on the Results Show last Tuesday in Week 8 of “Dancing with the Stars.” Warner and partner Anna Trebunskaya got some of their best scores in a double-performance show on Monday but still landed near the bottom because so many of the other dancers were outstanding.
Warner was always praised for his personality and charm but rarely for his dancing ability, and flaws showed up in his performance of the slow-paced waltz.
"With only five left, you definitely feel like it's playoff time," Warner said last Monday on the competition portion of the show . "The competition has tightened. You definitely know that one slip-up and you're going home."

THE BIG STL STORY THIS WEEK is:
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols hopes to get a new extension on his one year contract renewal with the team. Last week he offered a deadline for the extension as he is relaxing in his native
"But," he is quoted as saying, "that is something that I cannot control."
Less than a week after the end of the 2010 regular season, the Cardinals reportedly exercised their $16-million option on Pujols' contract for 2011. By triggering the option, the Cardinals brought the total value of the contract Pujols' signed in February 2004 to $116 million over eight years.
In related newz, Pujols is one of five contenders the for National League MVP Award. The others are Troy Tulowitzki, Colorado Rockies, Adrian Gonzalez, San Diego Padres, Joey Votto, Cincinnati Reds and Carlos Gonzale, Colorado Rockies. The critics are saying, Votto will win. The award will be handed out Nov 21.
+++++++++++++
Speaking of awards and the Cardinals, catcher Yadier Molina won the Best Defensive Player and Pujols won the 2010 National League Rawlings Gold Glove Award announced Wednesday. Its Molina’s third consecutive award and Pujols’ second—his first was in 2006. For Molina, his win put him into a tie with the two other Cardinals' catchers who won that many for the club -- his mentor Mike Matheny (who’s won four) and former catcher Tom Pagnozzi. Molina is the first catcher in Cardinals history, however, to win the award in three consecutive years. This is the ninth season since 2000 that the Cardinals have had at least two Gold Glove Award winners.

A St. Clair County Associate judge last Thursday lifted the temporary restraining order he issued against the Illinois High School Association after the association had reportedly ruled days prior to the restraining order that East St. Louis High used an ineligible player. The ruling knocked the Flyers out of the football playoffs for the second time after winning their game against BellevilleWest (41-10) played after the judge Okd their eligibility and record(On Oct. 26, the IHSA told the school it would have to forfeit its first five games of the season which were all wins, putting the team on the sidelines before the temp order was granted to the school under the argument that the school didn’t have time to respond to the change).
The player in question was senior defensive lineman Charles Tigue because Tigue did not reside in the East St. Louis school district(a requirement clause in IHSA’s policy) The team also will have to forfeit its 10 wins from 2009 for using Tigue and two games (both wins) Tigue played in 2007, his freshman season. As a result, Belleville West won by default and played rival Bellevile East (who won 29-13)last Saturday. It is the first time in association history that a school has had to forfeit a postseason football win while the playoffs were in progress.
Wow bummer for E--Side.
