HEY OUTTOWNERS!
IT’s THAT TIME AGAIN!!
TIME TO GET TOWNED!!!
The first day of summer will be June 20!
BLACK MUSIC MONTH BITZ
This week we feature the late singer, Minnie Riperton
Minnie Jean Riperton (November 8, 1947 – July 12, 1979) was an American singer-songwriter best known for her vocal range of
five-and-a-half octaves, and her 1975 single "Lovin' You".
She was married to songwriter and music producer Richard
Rudolph from 1972 until her
death in the summer of 1979. They had two children—music engineer Marc Rudolph
and actress/comedienne Maya
Rudolph.[1]
Riperton grew up on Chicago's South Side. As a child, she studied music,
drama, and dance at Chicago Lincoln Center
While at Chess, Riperton also sang lead for the experimental
rock/soul group Rotary
Connection, from 1967 to 1971. In 1969 Riperton, along with Rotary
Connection, played in the first Catholic Rock Mass at the Liturgical Conference
National Convention, Milwaukee Arena, Milwaukee,
WI, produced by James F. Colaianni. Riperton reached the apex of
her career with her number-one hit single, "Lovin' You," on April 4, 1975 . The single was the last release from her 1974
gold album entitled Perfect
Angel.
Aside
from her various hits, Riperton is perhaps best remembered today for her
ability to sing in the whistle register, in which she had rare facility.[7] Riperton possessed a five-octave
vocal range(the liner notes to her Petals legacy album ascribe five-and-a-half
octaves to her). Riperton's ability to enunciate in the high registers set her
apart from most other whistle-register singers. Riperton was also noted for her
ability to sound almost mechanical or instrumental in the whistle register. She
has also been credited for her ability to sustain notes in the sixth and
seventh octave for long periods of time. Having an innate ability to imitate
many instruments helped lead to Riperton's discovery while she was a secretary
at Chess Records. In her recordings. Riperton's highest recorded note reached
in the whistle register was F7 on the third scale of "You Take My Breath
Away". In a 1998 interview for Vibe magazine,Mariah Carey cited Riperton as an influence on her.

THE BIG A&E NEWZ STORY THIS WEEK IS:
The NBA Finals with the Miami Oklahoma City Miami Oklahoma
Game 3: will be Sunday, in
Miami Miami Miami Oklahoma
Media mogul Oprah
Winfrey will be talking to eight, Kardashian-Jenner family
members in an interview set to air on Winfrey's cable channel, OWN.
Winfrey talked to Kris
and Bruce
Jenner and their combined
offspring at their Hidden Hills, Calif.
Oprah Winfrey surprised many fans by interviewing
the Kardashian family for OWN’s “Next Chapter,” and the queen of talk took a
moment to explain why she chose to go behind the scenes with the reality TV
brood.
“Ok my friends I had the longest interviewing
session I can ever recall, talking to ALLLLLLLL the Kardashians,” Oprah said in
a post published on her Facebook page on Wednesday. “I had never met them, nor
seen the show. I did a full on Kardashian Kram in preparation, watching major
shows from every season.
“I genuinely wanted to know why they have become
a cultural phenomenon? Why do so many people love to watch their every move and
why do so many others love to hate them,” the post continued.
The sit-down yielded plenty of intriguing
material, Oprah revealed, including shocking revelations from Kim about her
ill-fated marriage to basketball star Kris Humphries.
“Everyone who’s asked was the marriage a
publicity stunt? Why did she leave after 72 days? Her answer leveled me,” she
wrote.
Additionally, Oprah said she received answers to
all of her questions and “more,” noting that while the Kardashians are known
for their transparency on camera, the family approached the interview with
“another level of forthrightness and honesty.”
The interview will air 8 p.m. EDT Sunday on "Oprah's Next Chapter." It
will be followed at 9 p.m. EDT with the second part of
Winfrey's interview with rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson.
Come on.
Really? We all know the real reason she scooped up this reality show brood:
ratings! Ratings! Ratings! She needs all the sensationalism to the S power to
get OWN out of the ratings doldrums, okay. And we are sure Oprah didn’t ask
this question, “So do you think you all became famous because of the sex tape of Ray J having sex with Kim?”

quality time with Bo.
White
and Bo, the Obama's black-and-white Portuguese Water Dog, were spotted on the
South Lawn together on Monday.
White
is well-known for being an animal lover and activist.
White spoke with The
Huffington Post on how it was exciting
to meet with the president.
"It was a thrill to be with Mr. Obama,"
White said in a phone interview, "but the big thrill
was being with Bo, their dog. He's the cutest guy you've ever seen in your
life. I spent a half-hour with him on my lap."

unrelated Betty newz, she was in Chicago
Bruce DuMont, the founder and president of
the museum tapped White as a resource to bring awareness to the
62,000-square-foot museum which showcases television and radio achievements and
memorabilia over the years.
“Television is my life and it’s been very
good to me,” said White. “It’s time I return the favor.”
White said DuMont approached her last year
“at one of the more expensive breakfasts I’ve had,” to discuss expansion plans
and branding.
“I’m still in the business. My health and
energy are good and I’m being invited to keep working. That makes me very
happy,” said White.
According
to Mediatakeout, Chitown reared rap superstar Kanye West gave Kim Kardashian "a special 'promise'
ring" on last Friday,. Although it's reportedly "just a friendship
ring" the diamond is "HUGE" and "most people ... will
consider it an ENGAGEMENT RING."
Although
Kimye consider themselves to be "betrothed," which according to MTO
means they're "not engaged ... but close to it," they're not actually
calling it an engagement ring because "Kanye recognizes that Kim is STILL
LEGALLY MARRIED to Kris Humphries. And that if he were to PROPOSE to Kim, it
could NEGATIVELY impact her divorce case." Hopefully Kim's divorce attorneys
have pointed that out to her before, but if not, or if she's refusing to listen
to them, at least Kanye has a good head on his shoulders!
MTO
also claims that the commitment ceremony, or whatever they're calling it, went
down in Ireland

Chicago native
and emmy Award winning comedian/talk show host Sherri Shepherd has contacted
authorities over a series of menacing tweets she received from a Twitter user
with the handle DaClone Killer, including one that read, "Somebody should
drag u in a back alley and rape you."
A rep for
Shepherd confirmed to E! News, "Law enforcement is involved as well as
corporate legal and security departments. This matter is being taken very
seriously."
In the meantime,
Shepherd took DaClone Killer and other bullies to task via Twitter. And DaClone
Killer, who, if you follow the thread, appears to have been incensed by
something Shepherd said about Lil Kim, is still tweeting away, too.

Jones' Ex-Husband Al Reynolds Really Living at Sherri Shepherd's Place?!
The NYPD would
not confirm that Shepherd had filed a report, but she vowed that she planned to
call the cops on her twitagonist.
"@DaCloneKiller
You think I should be raped in a back alley?" she wrote yesterday.
"Let's see if the police agree w you & I took a pic of your
tweet...I'M FILING A POLICE REPORT. SO TELL ME NOW WHAT SHOULD BE DONE W ME. "
We are sure DaClone didn’t expect
this publicity, but we think this will set a precedent as far as how far folk
can go in regards to using new social media to express comments about someone. In
a way, it’s a cyber assault and Shepherd did the right thing in reporting the twit..

A followup on the recent East St Louis EasT St Louis East St. Louis
In related club issues, – In an effort to make
Washington Avenue in downtown St. Louis safer, the St. Louis police department
has assigned more officers to patrol the area and even shut down several roads
to alleviate traffic congestion.
But when shots rang out last Saturday for the
second time in recent weeks, two bouncers questioned the effectiveness of the
police presence. According to the bouncers recent problems at the popular
destination are the result of clubs in East St. Louis
Before pointing fingers, KMOX decided to talk
to the Mayor of East St. Louis, Alvin Parks, to find out if there is any truth
to the bouncers claims.
“I
don’t know where that statement comes from,” said Mayor Parks. “But what I do
know is that clubs in East St. Louis
Parks says most clubs in East St. Louis 2 a.m. However there are several clubs on Washington Avenue 3 a.m.
Parks says he personally has no idea where
people are from who have ever caused problems on Washington Avenue
Looks like each side of the Sippi are tryin to
blame the other for what’s happening with the crime and violence woes with the
clubs (Parks seem to lean more on not trying to blame St Louisans traveling to
the East Boogie for its current raid).
But our question is, is it really the clubs causing the problems or just
the type of people who are already out and about causing problems. We think it’s
the type of people who are going out and their intentions are to cause crime
and violence when they go out, it just so happens to be at clubs that stay open
in the late hours of the weekend. St Louis East

Avengers released anew single, Soldier
Story.” This is the first single off of our newest album "Hurry Up and
Wait" which will be released later this summer. The single is a dedication to the men and women who serve
in the American Armed Forces. This song represents different aspects of
soldier's lives in the military. For
that reason the group decided to donate half (50%) of all the proceeds from
this song to:
www.woundedwarriorproject.org and www.restorewarriors.org. The single will be available for download on
iTunes, Google Play, AmazonMP3, Zune, Rhapsody and Spotify!
