BLACK MUSIC MONTH BITZ
This week we feature The Emotions
The Emotions are an American all female soul and R&B singing group. The group was formed in its
current hometown of Chicago, Illinois originally consisting of three Hutchinson
As soon
as the girls could talk, he began teaching them music skills, and had them
practice in the basement of their home on the south side of Chicago Hutchinson
In 1968,
the girls changed their name to The Emotions, and released
their first album,So I Can Love You, the following year. The album's title track,
written by Sheila, was a minor hit single, as was "The Best Part Of A Love Affair". In 1969 the
girls were asked to be part of a summer outdoor concert in Rochester NY
During
their Stax years, they were produced by Isaac Hayes and David Porter. By 1976 and theFlowers album,
they had left Stax. Flowers included
the hits "Flowers" and "I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love"
Their
association with Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire brought them their greatest success. With
White's assistance, The Emotions
released the albums Rejoice and Sunbeam in
1977 and 1978. Maurice White-co-produced with Clarence McDonald the single "Best Of My Love" which spent five weeks at number one on the
US
In
collaboration with Earth, Wind & Fire the group scored big with the Grammy
Award winning single, "Boogie
Wonderland", which was a
top ten hit in 1979. The group continued to record together during the 1980s,
and were signed briefly with Motown Records. Their last recording to date was 1996'sThe Emotions Live released on their own record label
Sunbeam Records.
On Thursday, July 12, OUTTOWN will spinoff to a new blog
called OUTSTAGN, giving a stage (or platform) to mover and shakers in the arts and
entertainment in the STL area (and “out of town”) by ways of interviews and
features. It also will focus on recaps and reviews of fashion and style as seen
at red carpeted, regular club events, and fashion shows. Lastly, in our theme
of stages, we will review live theater, and concerts.
It will be compiled at random.
And don’t worry, we will still have the OUTTOWN faves such as
BLIND DISHZ, BLIND PICZ, PROMOCIALITES, BDAZEs and EVENTZ that will likely post
every Thursday as UPSTAGE BITZ, but the weekly compilations of top
stories in the Midwest will be eliminated.
It's that time gents for
Mista Couture. We are seeking gents with style and ladies with fashion flair to
be escorts for the gents. If your interested in being a contestant or escort,

THE BIG A&E STORY THIS WEEK IS:
The Miami Heat won Tuesday at AmericanAirlines Arena in Game 5 of
the NBA finals 104-98 over Oklahoma City Thunder moving to a 3-1 series lead,
The Heat held on from there, completing the largest comeback in
franchise playoff history, from 17 down early. The Heat’s final run — the one that it
might look back on as the most important of the season — came after an 11-2 run
by the Thunder that gave it a 94-92 lead.
A Chris Bosh
layup, Lebron James three-pointer and Chicago native Dwayne Wade (PICTURED with
Oklahoma’s Russell Westbrook) basket in the paint gave the Heat a 99-94 lead
with 2:18 remaining.
With James and Wade (25 points) giving their typical efforts,
the third member of the Big Three on this night was Mario Chalmers.
It
looks like The Heat is about to win its second NBA Title, an
silence critics who despise Lebron James and his pompousness when he left Cleveland
In
unrelated Dwayne Wade news, attorneys for Wade are
seeking to suspend his former wife's visitation rights following her arrest last
Saturday after allegedly refusing to return the children to Wade's sister for
several hours.
The star Miami Heat guard won sole custody of his
two sons last year after a long and contentious fight in Cook County Circuit
Court.
The
two boys - aged 10 and 5 - were supposed to be picked up from Siohvaughn
Funches-Wade's South Holland residence Saturday afternoon by Wade's sister so
they could catch a flight to Miami
Attorneys for Wade alleged his former wife barricaded
herself in the home for several hours, refusing to let Wade's sister in or the
boys out.
By then, sheriff's police officers were
reportedly called to the home and were
unable to get Funches-Wade to respond to their knocks on the door or calls,said
department spokesman Frank Bilecki. Police gained access to a neighbor's residence,
enabling officers to see that the two children were playing with two adults, he
said.
When Funches-Wade later exited her house without
the children, police reportedly attempted to arrest her for allegedly violating
a court order, but she resisted. She struggled with officers who tried to
handcuff her and tried to moved back behind her home's security fence.
As officers reportedly succeeded in handcuffing
her, Funches-Wade said she was asthmatic and short of breath.An ambulance was
called and she was transported to St. Margaret Mary Hospital Hammond
Funches-Wade was reportedly charged with two
counts of attempted child abduction, two counts of unlawful visitation
interference and one account of resisting arrest. The friend who tried to
assist her was also charged.
Funches-Wade was reportedly released Monday after
posting $10,000 bond, the sheriff's department said.
The boys ended up missing their commercial
flight, causing Wade to charter a flight at great expense for them Saturday
evening so they could be with him on Father's Day, his attorneys said.
This is
ugly and wrong on Wade’s ex. She should have sent her boys to Wade’s sister. We
think she was being spiteful because of Wade’s association and relations with
actress Gabrielle Union. With the added baby mama drama with Chris Bosch, The Heat
has been getting a lot of heat beyond the court!
The Oprah Winfrey Network
unveiled part one of a two-part sit-down Sunday with America
The show
brought a significant boost to OWN -- even up against this
week's heavy competition from the broadcast network's NFL and PGA coverage and
scripted cable finales. The 8 p.m.
broadcast of Oprah's
Next Chapterbrought in 1.1 million viewers, making it one of
the top broadcasts in the series' six-month tenure on the network. Previous
highs came from Winfrey's sit-downs with Steven
Tyler in the series premiere (1.1 million),
pastor Joel
Osteen (1.6 million) and a record-breaking
exclusive with the family of late singer Whitney
Houston (3.5
million).
On part one, it was a family
affair to talk about: their family and their rise to seeming superstardom;
During her one-on-one,
Oprah made sure to ask the question everyone was sidestepping: Do you think
you're famous because of the sex tape? Kim chose her words very carefully,
saying, ""You know, I think that's how I was definitely [introduced
to] the world, I am... not naive to that fact,"" but that
""it was a negative way [to be discovered], so I feel like I had to work
10 times harder for people to see the real me."" She goes on to
explain her regrets about the tape, explaining, ""I felt
humiliated,"" and that she would ""have to live with it for
the rest of my life and explain it to my children one day. Can you imagine that
conversation?"" ('Um, nope; definitely not.)
She went on to say,
""If I had the information and knew better, I would've done better. But
I didn't."" The dipping of toes into the celebrity tide pool does not
come with an instruction manual. That much is certain.
Khloe was very frank: She
admitted that the family's collective attractiveness ""didn't
hurt"" their getting a TV show, as well as their antics.
But Oprah pushed further,
saying later to Kim that the show ""feels self-centered and selfish;
do you get that that's what's being presented?"" Kim managed to avoid
the question and say nothing: ""As time goes on, people will
definitely see different sides of all of us. The show does do a good job; [the
fans] really get our personalities.""
At another point,
Kourtney says the show is ""honest"" because they don't
know how to act any other way. The show also included a segment with
matriarch/manager Kris Jenner that was generally so-so, but did have a few
interesting takeaways. She believes that the root of the family's success lies
in her children's ability to share their feelings: ""The kids love
and fight really hard,"" going on to call it ""a perfect
storm.""
She later admitted that
the show was originally a way to drive traffic to their chain of Dash
Boutiques, and modeled after The Osbournes. There was also discussion of O.J.
Simpson and his infamous trial (Kris' ex-husband Rob Kardashian Sr. was apart
of the legal team), mentioning that everyone in the family (the Simpsons and
the Kardashians were at a time quite close) had their doubts about O.J.'s
innocence.
The interview also
included talk of the so-not-talked-about-enough 72-day marriage of Kim to
basket-baller Kris Humphries, and how she still hopes to have her fairytale
life. There was some discussion about personal growth, maturity, and learning
from life experiences. There were no details beyond, ""It was small
things or little things"" — Kim wasn't so keen when Oprah said,
""People don't just leave for little things though, Kim!""
Touchy, touchy!
A second installment of
Next Chapter at 9 p.m. , the conclusion of a
two-part interview with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson
It seemed as though the
interview was a win-win for both Oprah and The Kardashians—ratings for Oprah
and more publicity for the Kardashians’ reality show and brand. We wonder how
the pre interview went as far as what the Kardashians would say because you
know they did that. But I must say, real talk, if it wasn’t for Ray J’s penis,
the Kardashians would not have a career so Kim K wouldn’t have to be
embarrassed of the sex tape if it didn’t leak on the net. OKAY????
The First Couple, President and First Lady Obama attended a
much-promoted fundraiser in Manhattan last Thursday night at the home of actress Sarah Jessica
Parker and raised a whopping
$2million at the event.
50 guests attended the $40,000-per-person event including
actress Meryl Streep, Michael Kors , Aretha Franklin, Solange Knowles and St louis
native Andy Cohen were there, dressed to the nines and ready to hit up SJP’s
newly decorated four-storey West Village apartment in
New York
And Mr President appeared to feel at home as he went
straight into his opening speech with a Sex and The City joke, being at
Carrie’s house and all (which incidentally more than resembles Carrie
Bradshaw’s actual flat from the outside – weird, no?). Joking about his
fundraising schedule, he told the packed room that he would put it in SATC
terms – that tonight was his ‘date night’ with First Lady Michelle Obama.
As she greeted Mr O with a ‘hug and kiss’, Parker
wowed her guests in a navy lace cocktail dress, a jewel-studded necklace and
mahoosive diamond
A handful
of protesters were also seen outside SJP's home last night, displaying
placards reading 'The Devil Wears Prada And Supports Obama'.
Hmm, interesting
that it was Sarah Jessica Parker was the one who gave the fundraiser, of all
people. Who knew she was an elbower with The Obamas?
Chitown reared
rapper Kanye
West and Jay-Z have made a game
of playing their Watch the Throne hit "Ni**as in Paris" several
times in a row on their tour in
support of the album, and last weekend they broke their
own record by performing the song a whopping 12 times in a row in Paris. This
is not only a new benchmark for the rap duo, but also – at least according to
Jay-Z – a new record for the most consecutive performances of a song in a
concert in general.
In unrelated Ye newz, it's been announced that Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music crew
was performing on BET Awards July 1. West’s name wasn't dropped in the report,
but it is hard to imagine that Yeezy would miss out on some major camera time.
'Ye actually leads all nominees with seven nods. including two in the Video of
the Year category; he also has an upcoming label compilation,Cruel
Summer, to
promote.

THE BIG STL A&E NEWZ STORY IS:
.jpg)
.jpg)
According to stltoday.com, The St. Louis Rams and
the city Convention and Visitors Commission (CVC) will head to arbitration to
try to resolve their competing visions for renovations to the Edward Jones
Dome. On Thursday, the CVC needed fewer than 30 minutes to vote to go to arbitration, according
to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
According to the team's lease on the facility,
the Dome must be considered among the "first tier" of NFL stadiums by
2015. If it is not, the Rams can opt out of their lease, which binds them
through 2025. This spring, the CVC presented the Rams with a $124 million plan to spruce up the Dome. The Rams
rejected that proposal and countered with their own plan, estimated to cost
around $700 million.
The two sides had until June 15 to negotiate a deal before sending the matter to
arbitration. With a difference of nearly $600 million, the factions had a
considerable gap to bridge, and it was widely expected that the matter would go
to arbitration.
A panel of three arbitrators will hear each side's case. The panel can
rule in favor of one side or the other, but a more likely outcome would be a
reconciled vision for the Dome, meeting each side somewhere between their $124
million and $700 million price points
The deadline for
arbitration is the end of 2012. Following that, the CVC has 60 days to decide
whether to accept the arbitrators' plan. If the city bureau accepts it, the
Rams would be locked into their lease for the full term. Any plan bridging the
gap would likely require more public dollars than now go to the Dome. City
officials have said in the past that any increases in public revenue would
require public approval.
We think
that The Rams are leaving after 2015. We can’t see Rams owner Stan Kroenke
chipping in all of the money of the 700 million nor see the public flipping the
bill.
According to the Belleville
News Democrat, East St Louis
The vote Thursday was 3-2
in favor of changing the hours for the city's liquor-selling establishments.
The three council members
who voted for the change, Delbert Marion, Emeka Jackson-Hicks and Roy Mosley
Sr., said Monday that they have learned that a simple majority vote was needed
to change the city's ordinance, which they had.
But at Thursday's City
Council meeting, Mayor Alvin L. Parks Jr. held up a folded white sheet of paper
and said the city's attorney had given him the note saying four votes were
needed to change the city's ordinance because the clubs had paid licensing fees
based upon their closing times.
Marion said, "Mayor
Parks attempted to pull a fast one on the City Council in last Thursday's
meeting by coming up with a decision that a super majority vote was needed to
change the club's hours of operation."
Four votes are needed for
land transfers and on budgetary amendments, he and Council woman Emeka
Jackson-Hicks said.
"Alvin Parks again
puts his foot in his mouth by trying to interject into the council some slick
political moves to further whatever," Marion
Jackson-Hicks introduced
legislation that will close the liquor-selling establishments at 2
a.m. on weekdays and 3 a.m. on weekends.
If it
passes, we think folk will just drink earlier and do what they were gonna do at
6 a..m. or clubbers will go to Washington Park Brooklyn , or Sauget to continue
their partying after the 3 am closing time.

Buck is best known for his call of the

Union Station, the historic

According to a report on
stltoday.com, after a lengthy bidding process, the current owners Lodging
Hospitality Management are reportedly nearing completion of the sale of Union
Station to a development group Chesterfield-based THF Realty that promises to
reinvigorate the tourist attraction.with public help. THF's chairman and owner
is Stan Kroenke, the owner of the St. Louis Rams.
The project would encompass a
$50 million renovation of the existing hotel, areas beneath the train shed and
parking lots, according to a source with knowledge of the proposal. The sale is
under contract, pending final details to be worked out over the next few
months.
Ahhh, The Kron is about to
takeover Union Station. Wonder if he will wheel abd deal like he’s been dealing
with The Rams as far as having the public end up flipping most of the deal—its likely.
The private owned Union Station is a far cry from the millions of renovations as
compared to the city owned Edward Jones Dome.
And who’s to day Kroenke will keep Union Station the way it is. We hope
the history factor will keep it from being Kroenke Station.
