THE BIG A&E STORYTHIS WEEK IS:
Chicago-reared rap superstar Kanye West and rap mogul Jay-Z have finally confirmed the release date for their collaborative album 'Watch The Throne'.
According to reports, speculation as to the record's emergence has been rife ever since the pair posted the first track 'H.A.M.' and it was heavily rumoured that the album would hit the streets without warning earlier this month.
How, the hip-hop superstars have revealed that the album will be released digitally on August 1 and physically on August 5.
So the question now is will it debut at No. 1 on the charts? It’s likely. Folk have been waiting on this for almost a year now so, we think the anticipation of its release will garner huge initial sales—especially if HOVA has anything to do with it!LOL
TIED FOR BIG A&E STORY is an unrelated story on Kanye West. Apparently MTV has forgiven Ye for his infamous on stage antics two years ago with Taylor Swift because he was the second biggest nominee in the recently announced 28th Annual MTV Music Awards nominations (Katy Perry was the biggest with nine). He copped seven nominations including Best Pop Collaboration Video for “E.T.” with Katy Perry,. The other two videos he was nominated for were “All of the Lights” and “Power.” (Surprisingly his epic 15 minute film/video “Runaway”: was not nominated) The other ILLI MOians nominated were St. Joseph, Mo native Eminem with three nominations including Best Male Video for :”Love the Way you Lie” with Rihanna and Chicagoan Lupe Fiasco got one nod for “The Show Goes On” in the Hip Hip Video category. The VMAs will be aired live on MTV August 28 from the Shrine in

MTV News correspondent Sway’s first broadcast of "Sway in the Morning" on Sirius XM's Shade 45, calling into the show.
Em said, “You played such a vital part in my career and such a big role in hip-hop, we're just happy to have you," When the rapper, who owns Shade 45, said was asked by Sway for a freestyle, Em joked, "It might be dial tone."
Sway also unearthed an old interview that he conducted with Em, dating back to when the rapper first signed with Dr. Dre. 'When Em got signed, he came to our house in

"I'm fun I'm going to be performing. I think I could make her laugh, I think she could make me laugh. I think we could laugh together. It's going to be great," he says in the video.
But White says she cannot accept the invitation.
"I am deeply flattered and truly appreciate the invitation," White said in a statement released by her publicist. "As everyone knows, I love a man in uniform... but unfortunately I cannot accept, as I will be taping an episode of 'Hot in
The statement ended: "Love, Betty White."
Well what did the Sergeant expect? White is no way gonna take off from her taping schedule but it was nice that she at least had her publicist issue a statement on the matter, But we hear Lewis’ invitation was accepted by actress Linda Hamilton so he won’t be going stag. But it would have been cool to see White accompany Lewis just for the extremes between the two!

THE BIG STL STORY THIS WEEK IS:
Billed as the largest concert in STL history, rock superstar group U2 performed its 360 Tour in the sweltering heat before more than 50,000 fans at Busch Stadium last Sunday under a a tall, four-legged structure that's been monikered "The Claw," that was constructed a week prior during the All Star Break,
Below are some comments by some fans who attended the concert as reported by Arnold Patch website
-Johanna Roy,
"They still have what it takes to change the world. I think they already have—for the good. Thanks to them I'm a musician. Gracias Bono, The Edge, Adam and Larry."
-Javier Mendoza,
"It was the best rock concert I've ever seen. Interpol (the opening band) was a good band that played it by the rules. U2 came out and broke every rule, and then made their own. Rock n Roll!"
-John Frischer,
"When monumental music and entertainment value meets monumental production value (sound, lights, video, etc.), you have what we experienced in
-Asher Benrubi, aka Smash from The Smash Band
"I thought it was once again flawless and thoughtful. It was the
-Anne Francis-Stevens,
"They rocked! Now I know what 'packed to the rafters' means. I've never seen Busch Stadium completely full. There wasn't a bad seat in the house!"
-Lisa Barton,
"Thought it was amazing. To have that big of a stage and still have have Bono interact with the fans, like bringing people on stage or sitting down with his feet in the crowd. To have just The Edge and Bono alone playing acoustic during 'Stay' made that huge stage still feel intimate. Great show. Set list hit every album. Thought it was cool when Bono read the set list from the

The landmark Del Taco restaurant has close dits doors for the possible demolition, the buidng may be saved by the city’s top leaders. Mayor Francis Slay has suggested numerous times via twitter that the uniquely shaped building would look great as a coffee shop, more specifically Kaldi;s coffee Shiop who liked the idea Meanwhile a separate tweet from Board of Aldermen President Lewis Reed was much more specific in regards to contacting the owner of Pi Pizzeria
PresReed: I’ve been in talks w/ owners of @pistl about unique concept restaurant in Del Taco bldg on Grand. Exciting! Stay tuned.
Two weeks ago, Board of Aldermen narrowly approved a redevelopment plan for the South Grand Boulevard historic district that could lead to the demolition of the flying-saucer-shaped former Del Taco building.Bill sponsor and 19th Ward Alderman Marlene Davis needed 15 votes to pass the plan — and she got just 15.
Local preservationists reportedly mobilized to save what they called a classic midcentury building. A Facebook group called Save St. Louis Del Taco drew thousands of members. In response, Mayor Francis Slay announced that he would tell his staff to send any demolition application to the city's Preservation Board, which has the power to hear public input and stop the demolition of historic buildings.
We like the coffee shop idea actually.
STL Cardinals shortstop Ryan Theriot was ejected Sunday for his constant arguing and violent behavior after a call at second base. Theriot reportedly had to reach for second baseman Skip Schumaker’s throw while trying to get a force out in the sixth inning with the Cardinals leading the Cincinnati Reds 1-0 on Sunday. Umpire Mike Muchlinski ruled that Theriot pulled his foot off the base, leaving Zack Cozart safe. Theriot immediately stormed over to Muchlinski to argue. The shortstop had to be held back, initially by first-base umpire Chris Guccione, then by Albert Pujols. Theriot said he was reportedly trying to drag his foot across the bag, from one corner to the other. After watching replays in the clubhouse, he remained adamant that Muchlinski blew the call. As a result of his actions he was reportedly suspended and fined an undisclosed amount.
