MUSIC NEWS: SONY LEAK REVEALS KANYE WEST MOVIE (EXCLUSIVE DETAILS)

The latest, from The Daily Beast, reveals that Kanye West’s representatives approached Sony about doing a feature-length film with West. “I supervise all of Kanye’s film and media projects, and we have a major film project coming up that involves both cinematic and technological innovation, so I naturally thought Sony and wanted to reach out,” wrote West’s creative director Elon Rutberg in an email, per Daily Beast. “We premiered a multi-screen cinema experience to great response at Cannes 2012, and are looking to take the storytelling to the next level with a feature length film, shot for an immersive cinema experience.”
Even more exciting, albeit random, there is apparently footage of Kanye helping to reenact the oft-imitated piano scene from Big in a 2015 Seth Rogen/Joseph Gordon-Levitt film XMAS. “Seth, Joe, and [Anthony] Mackie reenacting the scene from BIG on the floor piano at FAO Schwartz with KANYE WEST,” Sony studio chief Amy Pascal wrote in an email discussing a teaser for the film. “It’s f–king awesome.”

NEWS: ILLINOIS STATE COMPTROLLER JUDY BAAR TOPINKA PASSES AWAY AT THE AGE OF 70

Illinois State Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka, a brash pioneer for women in Illinois politics, died early Wednesday, less than a day after suffering a stroke.
Topinka, 70, had been elected to her second term as comptroller in November, and was preparing to be sworn in next month. She was the first woman to serve in statewide office, and the first female Republican to win her party’s nomination for governor. “She was one of a kind,” former Gov. Jim Thompson said.
Topinka was also the first woman to serve as chair of the Illinois Republican Party.

SPORTS: JON LESTER CHOOSES TO SIGN WITH THE CHICAGO CUBS

The Cubs are back as major players at the winter meetings, selling Jon Lester on their vision of winning big at Wrigley Field and blowing him away with a six-year, $155 million megadeal.
A source involved in the negotiations confirmed the agreement late Tuesday night, and the news rippled throughout the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego. After patiently waiting for the right time to strike in free agency – and missing on several high-profile targets – the Cubs finally got their man.
