ITS HUMP DAY—TIME FOR OUTTOWN!
Herre’s what goin on!
Whats up with the The Special Administrative Board overseeing the St. Louis Public Schools St. Lousi Public Scvhools firing Superintendent Diana Bourisaw and then requesting her to reapply for her job? Well according to reports, Bourisaw is not having it and is resigning from the post. In a press conference given Tuesday Bourisaw said that she plans t remain on the job til the ned of the school season. Chief Executive Officer Rick Sullivan had stressed that "this is not anti-Diana Bourisaw. The board didn't select her, the public was never involved. We want public participation in the process." The administrative board made its decision to post the superintendent's job at a special meeting Monday afternoon. As yawl know, Bourisaw was hired in July, 2006, replacing Creg Williams who was ousted by a recently-elected new board majority. Williams' dismissal led to the state intervention The district's staff and teachers were blindsided by the administrative board's decision. Most learned of the pending end of Bourisaw's tenure upon arriving in classrooms and district offices Tuesday morning. Hmmm, what’s really going on? Why not the new board members just take a vote to continue Bourisaw as superintendent? Well as the saying goes, out with old and in with the new. And nothing new wants anything old. And who’s to day that she will get her job back if she does apply. Hmmm, I hate to say it, but is this poetic justice after the allegations in 2006 of Bourisaw assisting to get Creg Williams out of office when Veronica Obrien was prez of the former school board? Hmmmm.

The STL area is still reeling frm last Thursday’s killing spree of five people at a Kirkwood city hall meeting. (SEE OUT 332 for details) with the killing of community leader Charles Cookie Thornton (PICTURED) and several city leaders and the ongoing progress of the health of Kirkwood Mayor Mike Swoboda who was shot in the head and opened his eyes just recently after being a coma after surgery at St. John's Mercy Medical Center. This week the funerals for the five city officials including Public Works Director Kenneth Yost, Officer Tom Ballman, Officer William Biggs and council members Michael H.T. Lynch and Connie Karr. Flowers and balloons were placed outside City Hall Friday in their honor. On the radio dial, talk shows had its share of those asking why the event occurred especially St. Louis American City Editor Alvin Reid who is a native of and current resident of Kirkwood. He was recently on two respective shows talking about the tragedy on KMOX-AM on Charlie Brennan’s Morning Show and on WSLU-FM 90.7FM on Don Marsh’s show. Reid broke down a history of Kirkwood and how the city is separate amongst the color lines (mainly blacks living in the segregated Mecham Park area) and his thoughts of the event.’ On the KMOX show Reid said, “I’m just tired. We can still pull the community together. Its just devastating and knowing the assailant who was well received did not help.” He also had a hunch that Thornton was the gunman while on the PBS show Your Turn last Thursday, the live talk in show after Donybrook especially after he heard that it was a shooting at a zoning meeting. This was definitely a tragedy and will become the microcosm of race relations of America and what needs to be done to reconcile this matter. Thoughts and prayers go out to those who were killed as well as the assailant’s family..............
........................In other newz, local shock jock , J.C. Corcoran, got in trouble for shocking statements he made about AmerenUE.Corcoran's comments were made on his morning show on last Monday. He was upset that his power went out during the Super Bowl halftime show. His first hostile comments were directed at Richard Mark (who was on the Freeman Bosley Junior SHow last Sunday talking about the matter) , Ameren's senior vice president of Missouri Energy Delivery. Mark is African-American, and Corcoran made racially derogatory comments about him in a voice that was intended to mock black dialect. He also criticized longtime TV anchor Karen Foss and said that since she had been hired to do public relations for the utility, she was "harder to find than Osama Bin Laden."What really got people upset was when Corcoran talked about climbing to the top of Ameren's building "with an AK-47 and just start picking people off." Corcoran further made sexually tinged comments about Ameren executives (eg. Mark’s penis) . Some local groups who were offended by Corcoran's comments called, e-mailed and wrote letters to the station to complain. As a result , he was suspended from his radio show on KIHT for two weeks without pay on Thursday (Fox 2 who carries his commentary also suspended him until an investigation of the matter ended) Later last Thursday, Corcoran read a statement from Emmis' offices at Union Station. "I made a terrible mistake," he said. "I made some ill-conceived, hostile, on-air comments about Ameren. I spoke out of anger ... after 30 years on the air, you'd think I would know better. I apologize to our listeners, our community, our advertisers and the good employees of Ameren." About his suspension from KIHT, he said: "It's a punishment I fully accept." Some folk say he should get what Don Imus got for calling the Ruckers B-Ball Girls team “nappy headed hoes.” I say, two weeks ain’t enough. How about infinty?
The STL are still wondering what was going with the mother of 3-year-old leaving her child at ST. Louis Mills? Miscommunication according to the mother, Shameka Taylor. Well the ST. Louis County wasn’t having that and lost custody of the boy, Cortez Bass During a court hearing on today Wednesday the boy's father was awarded temporary custody. Taylor turned herself in earlier this week to Hazelwood Police, and then transferred to the St. Louis County Jail. The boy was discovered by employees around 8:30 p.m. Saturday at NASCAR SpeedPark in the St. Louis Mills mall in Hazelwood, not long before the mall was to close. Mall security searched the area, seeking a parent or guardian, but couldn’t find one. They notified Hazelwood police around 9:15 p.m. The boy told police his name was “Cortez,” and officers determined he was 3. But his complete identity was unknown until nearly 21 hours later. Authorities say the boy was at the mall with his mom, aunt, and five siblings for a birthday party. There were a total of eight children there for the gathering. Somehow the group got split up. Police don't know how the boy got left behind in the NASCAR Speedpark, and they don't know why no one reported him missing. Wow, this ones a hard one. Maybe Taylor didn’t know. It is easily to lose a child if miscommunication is involved (Hmm, remember miscommunication was the reason for the affluent couple who left heir baby infant in a heat infested car at Wash U and got off with no charges.....................................Speaking of children, one of the three children critically hurt after a car crashed into their north St. Louis home died this week, 10- year old Ania Martin. She died at St. Louis Children's Hospital last Sunday afternoon. The family have donated her organs so that other children might live. Three weeks ago a car crashed into the three greta-childrens grandmothers house Phelia Brown house. Ania's brother Migeal Asford and their cousin Isaiah McDaniel are still being treated at St. Louis Children's Hospital. When the car came through the house it caused serious damage, so rebuilding a house and burying a child are challenges the family never planned for. A medical fund has been set up for the Browns Medical Fund Information: A medical fund has been set for Isaiah McDoanial and Migeal Ashford. Donations can be made to: Bank of America, 4625 Lindell Blvd. St. Louis, MO 63108A family fund has been set up by firefighters:Checks should be made out to: "27's Assisting Mrs. BrownFirefighters Credit Union, 5530 Fyler, St. Louis, MO 63139 Or Engine House 27, 5435 PartridgeSt. Louis, MO 63120.................
Looks like the controversial hotel Adam’s Mark is about get bought out. Last weke it was announced that a San Francisco-based investment group has completed the purchase of the hotel chain.The Chartres Lodging Group LLC said it completed its purchase of five Adam's Mark hotels from HBE Corp. and plans a $63 million renovation, rebranding and repositioning of the St. Louis Adam's Mark as the Hyatt Regency St. Louis Riverfront. Hyatt Corp. will assume management of the St. Louis property now as an Adam's Mark until the rebranding this spring. The project is expected to be completed later this year. The new owner said it plans to spend more than $238 million on extensive renovation and repositioning of all five properties over the next 18 months. A sale price for the Adam's Mark portfolio has not been disclosed. The rebranded St. Louis property will be the region's second Hyatt hotel, joining the Hyatt Regency St. Louis at Union Station downtown. The St. Louis Adams Mark has been struck with several discriminatory suits in years past as African American guest complained of alleged racist treatment. (Hmmm, I wonder if this the reason why social events Martini Mondays and Sexy Saturdays are moving to other venues beginning in March?)
Is your Blackberry pic still out?
Congratulations are in order for Djimora. According to MediaTakeOut.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned that St. Louis native Kimora Lee Simmons and Djimon Honsou are engaged. MediaTakeOut.com was outin full force at a recent event Baby Phat - KLS FashionWeek after party and we saw Kimora and Djimon wearingmatching rings on their left hands. One of their spies managed to make her way over to Kimora and asked her about to rings. Kimora told theMediaTakeOut.com's spy, "We're getting married.” They also reported that Simmons may have a bun in the oven, too. Hmmm. We will see in a few months if that’s the case—the pregnancy that is. LOL...............................Veteran soul singer Ronald Isley will have to serve his three-year prison sentence for tax fraud in full after losing his appeal for an early release. The Isley Brothers star, 66, was sentenced to jail in September 2006 after he was found guilty in 2005 of evading federal income tax payments to the total of $3.1 million between 1997 and 2002. America's Internal Revenue Service (IRS) accused Isley of hiding millions of dollars' worth of assets in various bank accounts and with family members. He began serving time in an Indiana jail in August 2007. But the Grammy-winning star took his appeal to a Los Angeles court earlier this year (08), arguing his sentence in an Indiana jail should be reduced on the grounds of poor health and old age, having recently suffered a stroke and kidney cancer. However, last Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Dean Pregerson denied Isley's bid for a lesser sentence, ruling the judge in Isley's original trial was right in sentencing and "best balanced the need to sanction Mr. Isley's 'pathological' tax evasion against the need to accommodate Mr. Isley's poor health". Isley was once married t St. Louis native singer Angela Winbush in 1993 and bought a home in the area. They divorced in 2001.
Congrats are also in store for St. Louis native comedian/actor Cedric The Entertainer, who had the No., 2 flick at the Box Office last weekend with Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins. The film made Made $17 million (second to Fool s Gold that made 22 mil). This family comedy of a talk show host returning to its Deep South roots was surprisingly good. I was definitely expecting a color by numbers version of a Cookout ghetto flick, but the movie was entertaining. The film’s star Martin Lawrence showed some range as an actor (sans having to depend on his constant mugging). Some of the highlighted scenes included Lawrence with Cedric playing a rival cousin (Oh and we cant forget those frisky dogs, too) Cedric Good solid ensemble (who would have thought James Earl Jones and Cedi in the same movie?) cast and if you get beyond some of the crudeness of the flick, it is defiantly in the tradition of the new trend of Black family movies revitalized started by 1996 The Preachers Wife. I’d give the flick 2 ½ stars.
See below what East Boogie footballer Brandon Harold is OUTTOWINing on
Props go out to St. Louis Rams; Torry Holt for doin his thing in the Pro Bowl last Sunday in Hawaii. Alothough he only had two passes, it still added inches to his record of being the first of all time in NFL history in receiving yards per game with an 84.7 yards per game average (I wonder of Holt went to Imo’s to celebrate. LOL) . On the East Side, East St. Louis defensive end Brandon Harold (ABOVE LEFT) made his official visit to Kansas State on Jan. 18. The 6-foot-7, 275-pounder, the Post-Dispatch defensive player of the year, picked the Wildcats over Illinois and signed his letter of intent.
In other football newz, OUTTOWN heard that New England Patriots Laurence Maroney had a packed as hell party at Club Society . Loose cannon threw a welcome party for the ST. Louis native up in there and gave him some STL Love (Check out pics on this week’s Evening Whirl of the party). Too bad he didn’t have a Super Bowl ring along with all the love (I wonder if anyone threw up a 18-1 poster up in the club? LOL) ……OUTTOWN spotted 2004 American Idol finalist Nikko Smith chillin with some friends at his father’s bar and restaurant Ozzie’s in Westport Plaza over the weekend…….St. Louis fitness model Fred Williams will be seen on TV speaking on his being on the book cover of the upcoming romance novel One Aint Enough on Wednesday Feb. 20 on both Show Me St. Louis (KSDK Channel 5 ) at 3 p.m. and the Best of the STL (City 10) at 7 p.m (SEE OUT 335 FOR MORE DETAILS ON THE BOOK)
Looks like we have some STL representation on two reality shows this season. STL model B Skye (PICTURED) can be seen on third season of Flava of Love on VH-1. She survived the first week. The name that rapper Flava Flav gave her is Big Arches. We also got some rep on the new season of American Idol. Asia'h Epperson is from Joplin, Mo. She auditioned in Atlanta and made it through to Hollywood. She was the sista whose father died 2 days before her going on Idol. She sang an emotive version of Leann Rimes, “How do I Live” To see her audition go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CJUMViAE5s
STL female rapper Ebony Eyez is pissed and ain’t holding her tongue. On stlhiphop.com Eyes blasted her former producers of her 2005 debut CD Seven Day Cycle, the Track Boyz and the shady practice of the music biz. To hear that interview go to http://www.stlhiphop.com/interviews/ebonyeyez2.htm……………
Why has OUTTOWN been spelling SYGU Group member’s name wrong? Its Rhashad not Rashad (and his last name is Whitter)……………….
Congrats are also in store for STL rapper Bleezy of Black on Black Entertainment who is getting serious airplay with his new single "Like Me" that features R&B singer Trey Songz (the video was shot late last year at Club Society) . The song is from his upcoming CD "Crak Talk," which presents a "gangsta's perspective," but from a different perspective. There will be a listening party for the CD It will be out Feb. 27 at Club Society, hosted by Kay Slay and with Yo Gotti. More information is available at http://www.jusbleezyent.com/ or www.myspace.com/jusbleezyent.WORDZ TO THE WHY’S-….to the 2008 Grammy Awards. Why did Nas wear a shirt that had the word “nigger” on it?.....Why did Jill Scott’s dress look like the Princess of Dark Vader?.......Why didn’t Tina Turner say anything to the crowd about her late ex-husband Ike Turner?.....Why was Beatles drummer Ringo Starr babbling?........Why was Chris Brown wearing that goofy smile after his joke bombed on stage while presenting?.....Why did Aretha wear that yellow Gothic dress?....Why did Beyonce almost knock Tina Turner over during their duet of Proud Mary?.....Why did Kanye blast Common about releasing his album the same year he did?....Why did country star Vince Gill rip Kanye when he received his award?....Why did Natalie Cole blast Amy Winehouse for winning her awards?....Why was Solange presenting?..............Why did Prince say that Frank Sinatra look like he was 150 years old?..........And why didn’t Prince perform with Morris day and the Time?..........Why did Jay Z look awkward after Rihanna hugged Jay Z and pulled him up on stage when they won a Grammy while Beyonce looked on sitting next to him? Why did Fantasia put a streak of blonde in her hairdo?....Why was Little Richard looking corpsy with all that makeup?....Why wasn’t Madonna on the awards presentation?........Why did vocalist Keely Smith look uncomfortable singing and presenting with Kid Rock? Why wasn’t the Thriller Tribute to Michael Jackson didn’t make the cut at the Grammys (OUTTOWN heard it was a near riot at the Staples Center where the Grammy were held because of it)?
IN THE MIA (MISSING IN ACTION) Where is St. Louis native Tijuana Bradley who was on the 2003 season of the TV show “Survivor?”
