We just got reports that Beyonce’s little sister, Solange will be performing in St. Louis next week. She will perform @ THE WEBSTER UNIVERSITY GARDEN CENTER at Wesbter University Campus in Webster Groves. Opening for Solange will be STL ‘s singer/keyboardist Teresa Jenee. (SEE EVENT BITZ BELOW).

AND NOW TO THE A&E NEWZ in THE MO and ILLI:

The St. Louis has been in the spotlight these days in regards to sports events.

On Monday, it was opening day for the St. Louis Cardinals home opener at Busch Stadium. Thousands of Cardinals fans braved the wintry elements and turned out in the traditional red for the Opening Day Pep Rally and the first game of the Cards’ 2009 season( The Cards skipped practice due to the weather but did practice Sunday before the game) . Before the game against the Pirates, there was a pep rally at J Bucks downtown. According to reports, “Busch Stadium became snarled in bumper-to-bumper traffic, causing freshly minted second baseman Skip Schumaker to leap from an idled pickup and sprint 200 feet to home plate for his introduction. Filling a pregnant pause in the action, emcee Mike Shannon called attention to the parade of Fords.” A faux paux almost happened during the ceremonies when it came time for Hall of Famer Red Schoendienst to throw out the first pitch with an official commemorative 2009 All-Star Game ball signed by the commissioner, someone misplaced the keepsake.

A quick-thinking club member hurriedly fed First baseman Albert Pujols a surrogate from the dugout. Those who withstood the chill saw an exciting but ultimately disappointing ending -- the Pirates rallied with four two-out runs in the ninth to win 6-4. The Cardinals lost their fourth consecutive home opener. But the Cards redeemed themselves when they won their second game of the season on Tuesday against the Pirates as the St. Louis Cardinals downed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-3, to pick up their first win this season. The Cards will play the Pirates again in St. Louis today, Wednesday (in the Cards first televised game of the season) and Thursday. Then, Houston will play St. Louis at Busch Stadium this weekend.

Tens of thousands attended the NCAA Women Final Four Tourney that was held this week in St. Louis at the Scott Trade Center. The Final Four to the Final 2 game was held Sunday and the Final 2 game was held Tuesday. Both games were televised on ESPN. The teams at play were Louisville Cardinals vs. Oklahoma Sooners (ESPN Louisville won over Oklahoma 61 to 59). The later Sunday game was UConn Huskies vs. Stanford (Stanford lost to Connecticut 83-64). On Tuesdays game, UConn beat Lousiville in a 76-54 win to complete the Huskies' perfect season with the NCAA title. The Huskies finished the season 39-0, the third time in the program's history that UConn has finished undefeated. It was the sixth title for the Huskies and their first since 2004. Reports say ticket prices for the games that once sold for $7 now sell for more than $160. The tournament is also expected to put $20 million directly into the local economy.

In other sports newz, Mizzou's Mike Anderson was named the National Association of Basketball Coaches Co-Coach of the Year on Sunday, sharing the award with former Memphis and current Kentucky Coach John Calipari. Anderson received the award at the NABC's national convention tonight after guiding Missouri to a school record 31 wins, a Big 12 Conference title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight.

Lastly, the St Louis Civil War Showdown between Deandre Latimore(ABOVE) and Corey Spinks(BELOW) for the vacant IBF Junior Middleweight title will be held April 24 at the Scott Trade Center in the Gateway City. Rumble Time/DiBella Entertainment and Don King Productions have come to terms on an agreement. The IBF has ordered the fight between Spinks and Latimore because of former Champion Verno Phillips decision last November to vacate the title to move to a different weight class. Currently the IBF has Spinks ranked as the top contender at #3. Latimore is the #5 contender in the Junior Middleweight division. The title, St Louis Civil War Showdown, comes from Corey Spinks growing up in north St Louis while Latimore grew up in the south side of town.

What’s this we hear that actor George Clooney supposedly refuse d to accept the key to Maplewood while he’s here filming the movie “Up in the Air” here in St. Louis?
According to former Post-Dispatch columnist Elaine Viets on her website Lipstick Chronicles, Clooney, who is making part the movie in Maplewood, Mo., did so. Well sorta. According to the site, Clooney’s publicist said NO. Maplewood reportedly was cool with the diss cuz the city’s development director was reported as saying, There are about 90 or more municipalities in St. Louis County "and that would make for one heavy suitcase to haul back to L.A. I cannot imagine how security would handle such a thing."
Meanwhile, The production crew and cast of the movie “Up in the Air” landed at a Schnucks grocery store on Grand in south St. Louis last Thursday. Clooney, other actors and crew members filmed in the grocery store for about two hours andthe supermarket was not closed to the public so customers lined up to catch a glimpse of Clooney and the camera crew at work. The crew also filmed at the Cheshire Inn.

Rap superstar/mogul Nelly’s charitable organization 4sho 4Kids will host its annual charity celebrity basketball game May 8 at the Chaifetz Arena. His team Derrty ENT and promoter Slim’s Loosecannon will battle it out again in the event’s second year. Last year it was held at Harris Stowe Auditorium and the game went into overtime and Nelly's Derrty ENT. won the game 135-130. (SEE EVENT BITZ BELOW)

R&B singer Ginuwine will perform at a concert at the Loft April 19. Sponsored by 100.3 The beat and Liquid Assets, the sexy singer will perform his 90s hits and well as songs from his latest CD, A Man’s Thoughts that was mostly produced in St. Louis through his new label Notifi Music (SEE EVENT BITZ BELOW).

Rapper Gucci Man will perform at Club Society April 22. (CLICK PIC FOR INFO)

And speaking of rappers, late last month, hit rapper Flo Rida was in St. Louis for a meet and greet at the new bar Heartbreaker's Rock & Roll Saloon in Laclede’s Landing (PICTURED with Clear Channel personality Selena J). Sponsored by Clear Channel, Flo Rida-- whose real name is Tramar Lacel Dillard--was here to sign autographs and take pics with fans who won tickets to meet the rapper. He also played cuts from his latest CD, “R.O.O.T.S” that was released March 31.

Last Saturday, The Disturbing Tha Peace family was in town, including label head rapper Ludacris for HOT 104.1's DTP Madness Contest at the Loft to pick the best artist of the STl to be signed with the label. The winner was rapper Joka. The St. Louis rapper, who the runner-up in Koch Records-sponsored rap competition Koch Madness (that also was put on by DTP) last year (that was won by rapper Nite Owl). Joka gets a contract with DTP Records, run by rapper Ludacris and his partner Chaka Zulu who were also judges at the contest. There, Joka topped rapper Rockwell Knuckles (a crowd fave), singer J-Var, and his own younger brother, rapper Young Zone. According to reports, Joka and runner-up Knuckles were separated by only four votes. Young Zone was third, leaving J-Var at fourth position. Joka was repotedly in tears when he won the comptetion. It was also reported that spotted in the crowd, hiding behind dark shades and a cap, was last year’s winner Nite Owl, who recently criticized the competition in an open letter to the media (SEE OUT 567). Also in attendance were Jibbs, DTP artist Willie Northpole and Playa Cirlce who also performed (Hmmm, no Chingy? )BET was filming for event.

In related newz, Mz Law on stlhiphop.com, wrote about her experience with the DTp Madness competiion when therre were eight finalists at the Loft a coupel of weeks back. She wrote :

Yeah once again another round of 8 contestants competing at a shot at a single deal with DTP. This week was pretty lackluster, it had no real POW poppin moments and my boy Ko Ko seem to had been cheated by being first, his mic wasn't really checked properly and that got him caught up on the short end of the stick because his words sounded a little distorted due to the mic issue which counted against him but he still clowned it…Keep doing ya thang …There was not much to highlight, I guess they had to give the people something to talk about so they hyped up a tie between rapper City Ant and singer J-var and called it “Sudden Death”….(silence, crickets, and more silence and crickets)What the hell is the point of a rapper battling a singer? This is the point where it went wack. It’s like putting a football player against a basketball player …a boxer against a wrestler….a eighteen wheeler against a honda…..me against the world…lol had to add that cause I’m hearing they hating on Mz Law anyway from dropping her two cents on things, so what the hell, here is two more for them spend anyway they choose..but anyway WTF was the point, is what I’m getting at… Rumor has it anyway this competition is just a fluke and "So and So" is already slated to win and we all know who "So and So" is so don’t be acting shocked and brand new when they announce this individual April 4th.It’s all politics, a marketing scheme and strategy to build the buzz and get people to talking yall because I’m believing in the hype and the rumor….signing out and you didn’t hear that shit from me…(lol)…”

Wow, well at least we can say writers at stlhiphop.com keep it 100 if anything!

We heard that BET’s sister station MTV (both are owned by Viacom) also was in town last week filming in the Lou on a documentary about club venues across the country. We hear they were at the Delmar Lounge and filmed an impromptu poetry mike session led by STL poet Corey Black (PICTURED)who, according to the poet, came there just to chill out after checking out Tersea Jenee and Wildmann’s show at Cicero’s and started flowin rite on the spot with the dee-jay and another poet. Nofurther info was given on when MTV will air the documentary. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Tom Joyner Morning Show personality Huggy Lowdown (who is much younger in person than his middle aged sounding voice leads on)performed a hilarious three night set last weekend at House of Comedy (See OUT 588 for COVERAGE of the Saturday show). Then, on Monday, he called in to the show as he always do and commented about his stay in St. Louis. He said, “I picked a good time to stay in St. Louis for the NCAA Women Tournament...” Then he commented about the cobblestone streets at Laclede’s Landing where House of Comedy is located. He said, “The streets are made of cobblestone. Cheap shoes and these streets don’t mix. Women can get their heels stuck. “ Then he talked about his “munching ” on soul food at STL staple, Sweetie Pie’s (dunno if he went to the one on Florissant Rd or the original one on Natural Bridge). He said, “I went to Sweetie Pies on Saturday and when I got there it was like that scene from Antwone Fisher when he met his family and all that food was there and that scene in Soul Food . They cooks. Yes, I said it. They cooks.” He also went on to say that the Jeremiah Allen and his group was performing while they were eating and drinking “sweet tea.” He also said that the lead female singer named Sheryl at the soul food place called up House of Comedy co-biller fellow comedian Chris Thomas (who joined Huggy at the spot) to the and he started singing Lou Rawls tunes.

He also said that Congresswoman Maxine Waters was also there and he teased Tom Joyner who didn’t know that Waters was form St. Louis. Huggy said she was there with three of the 12 siblings from her family (She was in town for a speaking engagement with congressman Lacy Clay at Missouri History Museum on the 40th anniversary of the assassination of MLK) . He also said he returned to Sweetie Pie’s on Sunday and made a joke about the Sunday crowd saying, “If you wanna get hurt, just cut the line at Sweetie Pies after church .” As far as souvenirs Huggy said that he was going to the drugstore and purchase some Band-aids and make them out of souvenirs and “put Nelly’s name on them.”

We hear that STL Rapper Lil Frank has just released a debut CD, “Gemini.” We remember Lil Frank when he used to perform at the Joe Torry Celebrity Basketball games in the early 2000s (2000 to 2005) when he was four to nine years old. We think we should be about 12 or 13 years old now.My oh my how time flies!

BLIND BITZ. What venue had to escort some guys out from fighting and the venue that had a patron passed out on the floor from too much drank? (Hint. The fight took place at a popular after spot in front of a popular restaurant whose name “totals to the number 15” and the passing out took place at a popular night spot on a street that “Popeye” may take an interest in.

It’s 1962, and pleasantly plump Baltimore teen Tracy Turnblad has only one desire – to dance on the popular Corny Collins Show. When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star, but she must use her newfound power to vanquish the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin and integrate a TV network – all without denting her ‘do! Don’t miss HAIRSPRAY, Broadway’s musical-comedy phenomenon that inspired a major motion picture and won eight 2003 Tony Awards®, including Best Musical.

(314) 534-3807, ext. 235..................................KMJM personality Tammi Holland sent OUTTOWN an uplifting email from dress collector Tracie Ousley.It reads:There have been a lot of parents that have lost their jobs and have daughters that may not be able to participate in a day that you can never get back, their senior prom. I was sitting at home one evening and was thinking," what can I do to make a difference." As I was going through my closet, I came across some formal dresses that I had from either weddings or formal events, it struck me. "I can start a collection and give back to the community." So I called a girlfriend of mine and she thought that this was a wonderful idea. So here we are.
