HEY OUTTOWNERS!

TIME TO GET TOWNED!!!

BEFORE WE GET TO THE BITZ :

We lost a pillar in the Black Arts Movement—Chicago reared artist/educator Margaret Burroughs. . Burroughs who founded the nationally recognized DuSable Museum of African American History in the living room of her home on the South Side of Chicago almost 50 years ago, died last Sunday of unspecified causes at home, surrounded by family. Relatives said she was 95; other records indicate she was 93.

Burroughs and her husband, the late Charles Burroughs, co-founded the DuSable Museum in 1961. Originally called the Ebony Museum of Negro History and Art, the museum was later renamed for Jean Baptist Pointe DuSable, a man of African descent who is recognized as Chicago's first permanent settler.

In a statement, President Obama praised Burroughs' generosity and commitment, saying she was "widely admired for her contributions to American culture as an esteemed artist, historian, educator and mentor."

Born Margaret Taylor in St. Rose, La., she moved to Chicago with her family as a child. She attended the Chicago Teachers College and received bachelor's and master's degrees from the Art Institute of Chicago.

Burroughs, who taught for more than 20 years at a Chicago high school, immersed herself in art at a young age and gained notice as a painter and printmaker. In her early 20s, she joined several other artists and art supporters in starting the South Side Community Art Center 70 years ago.

THIS BIG STORY THIS WEEK IS

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will sit down with Barbara Walters for a Thanksgiving interview to air on Friday, November 26, 2010 at 10:00 - 11:00 p.m. ET. The one hour special, which will be filmed at the White House, will air on the ABC program 20/20. The joint interview with the Obama's will be shown on ABC's 20/20 'the day after the holiday. The interview will cover some off the major challenges facing the President today. Part of the conversation will be a discussion of how the whole family reacted to the President's political reversal. This will be Mrs. Obama's first interview since the mid-term elections. The special marks the second time the President and First Lady have sat for a joint interview with Ms. Walters The first interview was in November of 2008, immediately following the presidential election. This interview was conducted in the White House on Tuesday, November 23.

In unrelated newz, Obama is on the current cover of the weekly Jet Magazine.

Chitown talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is back with her freebies to the audience again. First it was Australia then it was a free trip to anywhere on her Oprah plane, now its Volkswagen AG Beetles. This Monday, she stunned and delighted the audience of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” when she (or rather Volkswagen) offered each person a free, all-new, 2012 Volkswagen Beetle.

The big giveaway on Winfrey’s annual “Favorite Things” show echoed a similar stunt in 2004, when the audience received Pontiac G6 sedans.

Winfrey, who owns a Beetle, reached out to Volkswagen, telling executives the car is one of her “favorite things,” Jonathan Browning, president of Volkswagen of America, said.

Volkswagen revealed only the silhouette Monday of the new model, a sleeker and sportier version of the current Beetle, a contemporary take on VW’s first car. VW hasn’t disclosed the price of the redesigned New Beetle, but the current model starts at $18,690.

So, if Oprah loves Jesus and said “I love Heaven” we guess she will guarantee a future audience that they all will go to Heaven after they die? Wow Oprah is spooky powerful! LOL

St. Joseph, Mo. native rap superstar Eminem was able to win at least 2 of the 5 American Music Awards he was nominated for (He lost three of his nods to teen heartthrob Justin Bieber—who said he used to hum to his songs when he was three-- including Artist of the Year) and given out during the broadcast Sunday. Although the was not in attendance, he won trophies for Best Rap/Hip Hop Artist and Hip Hop Album for “Recovery.” His awards were not presented on the telecast for the award show went over its 3 hour time limit. They along with several other awards, including Pop Female Artist and Best Soundtrack, were revealed in a category screen flash before the shows’ credits began.

Chitown bred rap superstar Kanye West’s CD “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" was released in stores Monday. Billboard reported that the CD sold around 100,000 copies on its release day and could sell perhaps 550,000 by week's end on Sunday, Nov. 28, easily securing it a No. 1 bow on the Billboard 200 next Thursday in the magazine’s chart.

In related newz, according to Billboard, a day after his "Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" hit stores, Kanye West gave fans, music execs and celebrities including Mos Def, 88 Keys, ?uestlove, Diddy, his “Runaway” co-star model Selita Ebanks and comedian Aziz Ansari, a surprise show at New York's Bowery Ballroom. Folk reportedly waited nearly four hours for the show to start. When it did start at 12:30am, West took the stage with Taylor, who sang background for him on some tracks, and Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon -- who manned Auto-Tuned singing duties for most of the night -- for a steady, back-to-back performance of the tracklist off his fifth album, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy."

During his performance, he ranted for about 10 minute about the personal attacks, in his opinion, of him in the media over recent years. The rapper accused Swift of using the infamous 2009 VMAs moment as a vehicle to boost her popularity. "Taylor never came to my defense at any interview. ... And rode the waves and rode it and rode it," West said. West said he does not regret interrupting Swift's first Video Music Award win speech to champion Beyonce instead.

"When you do things like what happened last year, it's disrespectful to everyone who's creative," West said about MTV's decision to give Swift the honor. "It's a slap in the face to everyone who tries to do something real."

West implied that Swift and the VMA producers are lucky his disruption was brief. He went on to say that if he wasn’t drunk that nite his rant would have been much longer.

West said he felt bad when people thanked him for dissing the president. "The whole time, I'm thinking, ‘That's not exactly what I wanted to say. I was emotional,'" he said. But he never set the record straight.

West said Swift handled the VMA fallout the same way. "Just as Taylor never came to my defense in any interview and rode the wave, and rode it, rode it, that's the way I rode the wave for the Bush comment," he said.

He also said Lauer "exploited" him and President George Bush on Today Show for ratings where he objected to archival footage Lauer showed during his segment and that Bush said that West’s comments during the Katrina telethon was one of the lowest moments of his Presidency. Ye stressed that the Today show took Bush’s comments out of context and that Bush didn’t say his comments was the lowest moment of his Presidency but ONE of the lowest. .

First of all, why is Ye comparing his media attack to Bush who he attacked during the Katrina Telethon but attacks Taylor Swift yet again who didn’t or attack him in anyway form or fashion in the first place? Bush should be the person he should be upset over saying he was ONE of his lowest moments in his Presidency calling him a racist! Bt what did he do? He agreed with Bush that he was racist in his words and APOLOGIZED.

Second. Swift didn’t have to stand up for Ye for what he done. He caused that action to happen. Sure, she accepted his apology some sorts in her song, “Innocent” but her PR team probably told her it was wise not to add fuel to that fire by responding or saying anything—as a result, the media ate it up and took Swift’s side and, as a result, her record sales increased (while Ye admitted of receiving death threats) and topped it off with n Album of he Year Grammy at he 2010 ceremony.

Third, Ye is setting his legacy fast and quickly with his actions. Yes, controversy breeds popularity and success, and the ending result is both Swift got a second No. 1 CD out of it (Her latest “Speak Now”) and Ye is speculated to ht the No 1 spot with his CD next week. But after the dust settles and Ye is no longer the hottest artist in the market, his actions, unfortunately will be the only things the media he will be remembered for.

In related newz, Today Show host Matt Lauer introduced Kanye West who performed at the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade Thursday atop the New York Daily News float. West rocked a fur jacket, gold chains and leather pants, as he sang 'Lost in the World" from his critically acclaimed album, 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.' There was no mention of the riff between he and West.

STL rap mogul Nelly’s CD, “5.0” debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart and moved slightly over 62,000 copies. A bit low on the number of copies sold (we expected at least a Top 5 debut) but Nelly still is No. 1 on the charts’ Top Pop Songs for the 5^th straight week with his comeback song, "Just a Dream." On the Hot 100, it spends its third non consecutive week at No. 5 in its 14^th week on the chart.

Three-time winner Pujols received one (from the Post-Dispatch's Joe Strauss) and the Rockies’ Carlos Gonzalez none.

"I was shocked, surprised," by the margin, said Votto. "Really surprised. I have no other words to use other than surprised.”

The Kevin Kline Awards organization met this week to revise its policies involving theater participants. The key changes will be minimum compensation for artists (Those who perform on the show) .current member theaters will be grandfathered in, increase in the minimum number of performances to qualify, establishment of a processing fee per production, reduction in the number of judges' comp tickets from 2 to 1 and confirmation of rights to do a show. The new criteria evolved from a study led by Jason Cannon, one of the founders of the awards. The study looked at the rules of other, similar organizations in other cities. Some member theaters reportedly protested to the revisions, which they believe favor larger, wealthier theaters over small ones that are not as well financed. Cannon, however, said that the changes will raise the bar for professional theater and bring St. Louis standards in line with those in other cities. He acknowledged that some troupes may be unable or unwilling to meet the revised standards, but said he did not think that many theaters would withdraw from the awards organization as a result.

Controversial radio dee-jay JC Corcoran made newz this week for blasting a fellow listener’s late wife of his new show on KTRS. The email fightstarted when Floyd Brookman of Mt. Vernon, Ill., lost his wife, Susan, to a heart attack five months ago. Brookman, former executive director of the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce, sent J.C. an email that started out: "We traded Chas. Jaco for this? Really?" After a little back and forth with J.C., Brookman wrote: "I'm intelligent enough to recognize a desperate washed up hard rock DJ when I hear one and THAT sounds like someone I know."

That's when J.C. let go with the following rant: "Then why do I make so much more money than you? And why is my wife hotter than the beast you have to crawl in on top of every night? And why am I a celebrity in this town and you're some dope named ..... FLOYD? You see, dip-**** ... unlike you, I have a life to get back to. So, bye-bye, sucker. You're blocked from this point forward. I'll never see another one of your dumb messages. FLOYD!!!! HA ha hah ha .... "

Brookman sent the email on a whim because he was a fan of Jaco's, who was let go and replaced with J.C. on Oct. 25. J.C., who has worked at 12 local radio and TV stations during his 26 1/2 years in St. Louis, had been off the air for a year before starting his three-hour-long daily show at KTRS on Oct. 25.

Brookman said he complained to KTRS general manager Tim Dorsey and was advised to "let this go." But Brookman said: "I wll not tolerate attempts by this self-ordained celebrity to insult me or the memory of my wife for one moment."

Dorsey said he apologized to Brookman on behalf of the station but that Brookman refused his apology and said he wanted a personal apology from J.C. Dorsey said he relayed the message to J.C. but that he didn't know what the radio jock planned to do. He said he would "absolutely not" fire J.C. over the issue.

"If J.C. wants to call him to apologize he'll call him to apologize," Dorsey said. "No one knew that the man's wife was deceased. I would never have sent a note like that to anyone in a billion years, but, different strokes for different folks."

Seem like JC is back to his old self. We think JC needs to apologize. Its nothing for him to get fired over, but at least he should man up on his mistake of talking badly about the listener’s wife.

WORDZ TO THE WHYZ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Why is Black Friday called that? Why did actor Michael Brea say the Devil made him cut of fhsi mother;s head? “Why is producer Teddy Riley saying Michael Jackson is still alive? Why did a man shoot his TV when Bristol Palin was still in the running on Dancing With The Stars? And why was their death threats sent to her on the set? Why is there a gay man claiming Wocka Flocka backed out of doing a gay porn film? And why so people drive too fast when it rains?

AT THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS:

Why was Nicki Minaj wearing gold skeleton like a harness on a dress? And why she interrupt before the R&B female award was about to be announced to plug her new CD? Why was the award stylist interviewed on the red carpet? Why did Rihanna get a standing ovation during her opening performance? Why was will.I.Am wearing a Leggo styled hat? Why did Mylie Cyrus dress like old school Stevie Nicks? Why was Diddy performing? And why did they show his son during his performance? And why was he wearing a bottom grill? Why did Justin Bieber win Artist of the Year (over Eminem and Lady gaga)? And Why did he say that if it wasn’t for Michael Jackson they all wouldn’t be there? Why was Kesha wearing a welder hard hat with lit eyes atteh start of her performance? Why did Neyo perform nothing but snippets form his new CD? Why is Christina Aguilera turning into Britney Spears during her Burlesque performance? Why werent there any black women dancing on stage during Train’s tribute to Soul Sisters with lettered tees during their performance of the song “Hey Soul Sister?” (they had one black Girl, that’s it). Why did country duo Lady Antebellum say that that they couldn’t wait to find out winner of one of the R&B awards because they related to the category during their presentation of it? Why was Usher biting James Brown’s moves during his performance? And why did Usher appease Trey Songz saying the R&B Male Artist award that Usher won was both of theirs after Songz lost? Why wasn’t there a host his year? And why was this years awards so boring?
