President Obama In On The All Star Madness

As the streets of St. Louis were crowded with tons of people. Highway 70 stood at a complete stand still. The only cars driving the highway from the airport to Busch Stadium was President Obama's entourage and St. Louis City and County's finest. He was here to throw the first pitch to St. Louis Cardinals player Albert Pujols last night at the All Star Game. His pitch was ok but that walk of the mound was hawt! Clearly the epitome of "cool".

Nelly's Midwest Swing

In many interviews we have heard Nelly talk about how he wanted a career in baseball. Well Monday night he was given his chance at Busch Stadium during Monday's Night All-Star festivities.

You already knew Shanti-Poo wouldn't be to far behind her man. She was also here in the Lou but playing for the opposite team of his. All is fun in love and war right? She looks like she is having so much friggin fun.

STL Hits a HOME RUN

I had a chance to attend the All-Star Home Run Derby at Busch Stadium and I must say it was a great treat. Just so happens it was the location of our interview with Ginuwine for the V.I.P. Suite. The mood was great and although many fans came from across the country to attend the All-Star festivities there was a sea of red in the stands as they cheered on Cardinals All-Star Albert Pujols and St. Louis native Ryan Howard (pictured above at bat) who wears his Phillies uniform proud.

Following the sold out Home Run Derby, we headed over MLB's VIP Gala After Party. This was an exclusive event which included owners and MLB team sponsors of both the American and National League. Kim Massie kept the crowd entertained as they entered on the main stage while the smell of good Italian food from The Hill kept party goers full as they prepared for a full night.

Many MLB players enjoyed the night as the mingled with local stars including a few NFL players who were looking great. I didn't see any Rams out, ok I did but I've learned that if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. I will wait until the season starts to discuss my beloved Rams.
There were so many parties going on last night but I was NOT leaving that tent before I saw the St. Lunatics hit the stage. I thought Nelly was the only Derrty Ent member scheduled to perform. So when Murphy Lee tweeted that he was headed downtown to perform I was happy that I decided to rock some flats because I knew I was about to party. Good thing I was able to snap a pic of Nelly & Ginuwine before the show because once Nelly and the Tics hit the stage my poor camera didn't see the outside of my purse. I was having way too much to play photographer. They sang all their hits and I do believe they did more songs than they did at Super Jam. I even spotted Chingy off the side of stage rocking to the St. Louis classics and showing support, so even though they haven't said it I'm going to say that whatever silly beef Nelly & Chingy had is squashed and over so lets all move on from that old topic.

Music Legend Chuck Berry was set to take the stage next but after noticing that my strapless dress was showing some major cleavage I thought it was best to leave before the senior took the stage and I made the old school player lose concentration.

Lafayette Graduate is an All-Star

RYAN HOWARD ALL STAR BASH AT LUMEN

I love twitter. Without it I might have been left out of the loop on the Ryan Howard All-Star Bash. His people were great on making sure that we were in this exclusive event with Red Carpet access. Shouts out to my entertainment mental bff Kenya Vaughn from the St. Louis American for catching me up on what I missed. While I was back at the stadium breaking my new shoes I apparently missed the sexy Derek Jeter.

Once inside I got a glimpse of Ryan Howard thanking the crowd and introducing legendary DMC (of Run DMC) to the packed mixed crowd. There was some of everybody and they cousin up in Lumen. Charlie was doing his thang and good thing too because he had a house fool of folks to please.

After there I headed towards LURE but the traffic jams caused me to make a u-turn on Washington and head home. I don't know what if anything was going on at Sugar but it seemed empty and if anybody knows that guy that was outside with Rob Kirk that yelled some obscene remarks about 1am please let me know so that I can put some holy oil on his forehead right after I slap him.
