OUT 1093--ILLI MO BITZ (JAN 19-25)

HEY OUTTOWNERS!

ITS THAT TIME!!

TIME TO GET TOWNED!!!




THE BIG A&E NEWZ STORY THIS WEEK IS:

President Barack Obama made fun of himself during Oak Park, Ill. Native actress Betty White during a TV special Monday celebrating her milestone 90th bday. POTUS recorded a humorous tribute and
seen sending up "birther" theorists who demanded to see his long-form birth certificate in the video, as he claims that White cannot really be 90 years of age.

Penning a card for her in the Oval Office, the president says in voiceover: "Dear Betty. You look so fantastic and full of energy, I can't believe you're 90 years old. In fact, I don't believe it. That's why I'm writing to ask if you will be willing to produce a copy of your long-form birth certificate."

"Thanks, and happy birthday - no matter how old you are."

Obama is then seen placing a framed photograph of White alongside pictures of his family and listening to the Golden Girls theme tune thought headphones at his desk, nodding in time.

Through polite laughter from the crowd, White blew Obama kiss after the segment was over.
The clip aired as part of NBC special Betty White's 90th Birthday: A Tribute to America's Golden Girl which attracted 13.85million viewers to the network), while her new series Betty White's Off Their Rockers pulled in 12.23million.

The only gripe we had on this was, it aired during MLK’s bday—shouldn’t NBC had done a special for him instead and maybe push White’s special on Tuesday, the actual day of her bday??? We are just saying.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
In related newz, Obama's wife Michelle celebrated her 48th bday ironically on the same day with Betty White.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



In related Obama newz, he and FLOTUS welcomed the 2011 St Louis Cardinals to the White House Tuesday (PIC by whitehouse.gov). Dubbed " The Greatest Comeback Team in the History of Baseball" Obama said in the East Room of the White House of their feat, "That has to be one of the best baseball games of all time."

Leading off at the event was first lady Michelle Obama. And with a swing of the bat, she was the highlight of the event.

Mrs. Obama, who was present at the series opener at Busch Stadium, thanked the Cardinals for all they do for military families. Then team owner Bill de Witt gave both Obamas team jerseys and souvenir bats.

"I'm a little bit worried about giving my wife a bat," the president joked. "If I mess up..."

His wife deadpanned, "I'll take my bat," then hefted and glancing meaningfully in Obama's direction, as Cardinals players, team officials and Missouri lawmakers chuckled.

Two key figures of the championship season were absent. Manager Tony La Russa retired after the series. and star Albert Pujols signed a $240 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels in the offseason.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

And in more Obama newz, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama greeted actual Tuskegee Airmen ahead of a screening of Anthony Hemingway’s “Red Tails,” on Monday which opens in theaters on Friday.

“Red Tails,” executive produced by George Lucas, tells the story of the first African American pilots to conduct important aerial missions on behalf of the U.S. during World War II.

The film stars Cuba Gooding Jr., Chicago native Terrence Howard, Tristan Wilds, Ne-Yo, Nate Parker, Method Man and more.




Chicago bred rapper Kanye West is featured in Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant’s new Nike commercial, “Kobe System” for his shoe, Nike Zoom Kobe VII, with other figures including Jerry Rice and Serena Williams. In it, a crowd watches Bryant school them about his system and West, the only featured person who speaks asks, “What if your really successful? Then Bryant replies, “You’re welcome.”

And in more Ye newz, there was a video that leaked on the social media sites of a 19 year old Kanye rapping on stage in Chicago in 1996.

One of the lyrics he spits is, ““I never been tookin’ out / I got emcees lookin’ out,” in a of tucked-in polo ensemble.

The highlight was when he received a $200,000 car provided by McLauren.

According to TMZ.com, the owner of a local luxury car dealership had the car airlifted onto a platform in the middle of the South Beach pool and Wade’s family also surprised him by flying in his 91-year-old grandmother Willie Mae Morris, who came all the way from Chicago and had never been on a plane.

STL NEWZ

THE BIG STL NEWZ STORY IS:

The St Louis Rams organization held a press conference at Rams Park this week to report that Former Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher agreed to a five-year contract worth a reported $7 million per season late last week to be the new coach for the Rams. Fisher and the Rams reportedly had to agree on a list of about two dozen items, including the makeup of the coaching staff and front office.

Fisher, who joined the dais with Rams owner Stan Kroenke (PIC by stamfordadvocate.com) reportedly took his time deciding between The Rams and The Dolphins before agreeing to terms with the Rams late last week and finalizing the contract Monday. When he was formally introduced as the new Rams' coach Tuesday, Fisher said his decision was made easy.

"My decision was very, very simple. It was based on the collective vision of (owner) Stan (Kroenke) and (chief operating officer) Kevin (Demoff) for the future of this franchise. More specifically, restoring this franchise to a place of significance," Fisher said. "It was that vision that made my decision very, very easy."

Fisher cited his shared vision with Kroenke and Demoff of building the Rams, who finished 2-14 last season, and how to go about obtaining that vision as the factors that led to his decision. He reiterated his choice between the Dolphins and Rams came down to "non-economic" factors and denied the reports he leveraged one organization against the other, saying "that was never true."

"I had two factors," Fisher said. "One was a good owner. The other was a good quarterback."

Fisher took his time deciding between the two franchises before agreeing to terms with the Rams late last week and finalizing the contract Monday. When he was formally introduced as the Rams' coach Tuesday, Fisher said his decision was made easy.

"My decision was very, very simple. It was based on the collective vision of (owner) Stan (Kroenke) and (chief operating officer) Kevin (Demoff) for the future of this franchise. More specifically, restoring this franchise to a place of significance," Fisher said. "It was that vision that made my decision very, very easy."

++++++++++++++++++++++++

In related newz, members of the press asked Rams owner Stan Kroenke at the press conference if The Rams will remain in St Louis after the organization’s lease with the Edward Jones Dome is up in 2015.

"I think this is all out there," Kroenke said. "The chronology of what occurs with the lease is public knowledge. I think for me to comment on that process is particularly (un)timely. The city, or the (stadium) authority, they're dealing with their side of it. And they present a proposal to us by Feb. 1.

"So there's a team in place that deals with all that. So we'll see how that process sorts itself out. But it's a thing that takes place over time."

According to the stltoday.com, as part of the original lease agreement between the Rams and the Convention and Visitors Commission, if the dome is not deemed a "first-tier" facility — or among the top eight stadiums in the NFL — the Rams are free to leave St. Louis following the 2014 season

On the JC Corchoran radio show on KTRS this week, Corchoran said that there will be a back and forth with the Rams and CVC on a mutual agreement on the lease extension. If its not agreed upon, it will be decided by arbitration by June 1 and a decision will be made on whether The Rams will leave in 2015 by the end of the 2012 season. Also, he hinted that a new stadium is set to be built in Los Angeles, The Rams’ original home prior to coming to the STL in 1995, and that its going to be built for a possible move of the Rams back to L.A. Also that Jacksonville Jacquars, who’s owned by Shahid Khan ( who was in competition with Kronke to purchase the Rams when it was up for sale in 2010) may be moved to St Louis if the Edward Jones Dome lease is not renewed with the Rams.

Final attendance and fundraising totals aren't available yet, but Hall is confident that the 2012 Warm-Up topped last year's total of more than $700,000.

Former manager Tony LaRussa attended the event (PIC by bigeastcoastbias,com). There was also reportedly every type of Cardinal baseball memorabilia that you could think of, from every era. Former Cardinal Brian Jordan had his own booth selling his newly penned children’s books. There were specific stands for Whitey Herzog and La Russa. There was, in addition to every booth containing Stan Musial memoriabilia. The MVP the World Series David Freese, his autograph at his booth was in high demand.

Superstar Albert Pujols and catcher Yadier Molina, one of the most popular remaining players, declined to attend.

Why did SNL music guest Lana Del Ray sound a bit off when she sang?Why were those folk in first class of that plane clown when there was on more champagne? Why did Elton John mean mug Madonna for winning Best Song at the Golden Globes? And why was Madonna’s speech very self serving?
