The St. Louis Auto Show has been a don't-miss event for car lovers ever since the very first one in 1907 and this year's event was no exception. The show is organized by the St. Louis Auto Dealers Association (SLADA), a not-for-profit group of approximately 100 auto dealers in the metropolitan area.

Although the outdoor temperatures were in the record-breaking single digits, a throng of diehard enthusiasts braved the bitter cold and wind to watch the drifting demonstration, located just outside the building. I was there along with three of my Take a Kid to a Car Show-STL (TKCS-STL) volunteers, Eddie, Matt and Kaeden, and two of their friends, Aiden and Miguel.

Despite the bitterly cold weather and the somewhat smaller than usual turnout of new car sellers, there was still plenty to look at including nearly 400 new cars, trucks and SUVs. Attendees also enjoyed a children's Fun Zone and the Miracle Mile, with examples of high end sports cars and luxury sedans from the likes of Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Jaguar, Maserati and more.

Our good friends of the Horseless Carriage Club of Missouri (HCCM) were there with some very fine examples of rare, vintage rides including the 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 owned by Susan and Michael Ebert. The Ebert's are the second owner and the car has 13,000 miles on the clock. It is

If the DeLorean looks familiar, I'm sure you remember the super-futuristic and drastically-modified version which starred in the movie "Back to the Future."

I would like to thank the members of the HCCM who were there Saturday, including Barb Knudson, John Hartman, Todd Tobiasz, Doug Burke, Elliott Cytron and especially Gerald Perschbacher, who was so helpful giving the FIN MAN posse the grand tour and informational details on the cars.

And in case you may have wondered, I was NOT there for the first show in 1907.

Look us up March 31, 11am-4pm, at the TKCS-STL booth located between the HCCM's registration booth and the food vendors.

Chicago Father And Son Hit All The Right Notes In Viral Singing Videos

When then-4-year-old Kael Gabriel Lim's cover of "Monsters" by Katie Sky garnered over 6 million views in 10 days on TikTok, his father, Jan Gabriel Lim, knew his son was something special.

Now 6 years old, Kael and his father regularly post singing videos to their Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube accounts. The videos are father-and-son duets as well as Kael solos of popular songs. They've gained over 300,000 followers across the platforms.

"He's actually a shy guy if you talk to him, but then when he sings, you won't notice any shyness," Gabriel said. "That's how confident he is in singing."

Kael was reserved and gave one-word answers when speaking with a Sun-Times reporter, but his excitement about music was palpable.

"I just wanna be a great singer," Kael said. "I want to be famous."

Gabriel attributed 80% of their success to his son. With his wife, Manel Carla Lim, behind the camera and Gabriel editing using skills he learned on YouTube, the production is a family affair. Gabriel said it's something that has brought them closer together, especially him and Kael.

The Lims record their videos in a homemade recording studio in their attic ("Our studio!" Kael said when it was mentioned). They post "as often as we feel like it," usually once every two or three days.

Gabriel, originally from the Philippines, moved to Chicago in 2013, and Manel and Kael joined him here 10 months ago. Before that, Gabriel would visit his family in the Philippines for one month every year.

On a visit home in 2022 after 11 months apart, Gabriel remembered watching 4-year-old Kael belt out the words to a Disney song during a movie.

"That's when we realized, 'Oh, wow, this kid can sing!' And then that's when we started recording," Gabriel said.

Manel would film videos during Gabriel's absences.

That distance was difficult to handle, and the COVID-19 pandemic made it even worse, so Gabriel quit his job as a bellman and moved back to the Philippines for a year in 2022. That was when he and Kael started posting on social media more frequently.

Gabriel returned to Chicago in February 2023, and Manel and Kael joined him in March. The family now lives in Avondale.

Gabriel picks most of the songs he and Kael perform, but there are some his son picks on his own. Kael heard "How Deep Is Your Love" by the Bee Gees at a mall a year ago and started singing it, so Gabriel decided to film a cover. The video now has over 800,000 likes on Instagram. Kael said the next song he hopes to perform is "Man in the Mirror" by Michael Jackson, his favorite musician other than his own dad.

Growing up, Gabriel's parents and grandparents would wake him up every Sunday with American oldies. He's passed his love of that genre of music onto Kael. Gabriel isn't a professional singer and says he's doing this as a hobby and to support Kael's dreams of pursuing a music career.

"That's actually our special bond together. We play and we swordfight and everything, but when he's in the mood, this is what we do," Gabriel said.

Gabriel said they got an inquiry from "America's Got Talent," asking them to send an audition tape. While he and Manel hope to see this dream and more realized, their main priority right is making sure their son has fun.

"We're here to support whatever he wants to do. I mean, if he wants to be a singer, we'll be there. But if he changes or anything, we'll talk and we'll see what happens. Yeah, the most important thing is we want him just to be a kid. We want him to enjoy everything," Gabriel said.

Pauly Shore To Sweat To The Oldies In Richard Simmons Biopic

The post Pauly Shore to Sweat to the Oldies in Richard Simmons Biopic appeared first on Consequence.

Pauly Shore is set to take advantage of his uncanny resemblance to Richard Simmons by playing the popular fitness instructor in a new biopic, reports Variety.

Currently in development at Warner Bros. Subsidiary The Wolper Organization, the movie is in the process of filling out the additional cast.

In a statement, Shore praised Simmons' contributions to the fitness world and overall well-being. "I'm really excited about sharing Richard Simmons' life with the world," the actor and comedian said. "We all need this biopic now more than ever. Simmons represented mental health, getting people in shape and being his authentic silly self! Whenever he was on TV you could never take your eyes off of him and he brought such a joy to his appearances that represented nothing but a good time."

However, Simmons later distanced himself from the biopic on his official Facebook page. "Hi Everybody! You may have heard they may be doing a movie about me with Pauly Shore," he wrote. "I have never given my permission for this movie. So don't believe everything you read. I no longer have a manager, and I no longer have a publicist. I just try to live a quiet life and be peaceful. Thank you for all your love and support. Richard."

Simmons rose to fame in the '70s thanks to his Sweatin' to the Oldies aerobic videos, becoming a household name after appearances on late night TV and radio talk shows like Late Show with David Letterman, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and The Howard Stern Show. In 2008, he put his support behind a bill mandating non-competitive physical education in public schools as a part of the No Child Left Behind Act.

Over the past decade, however, Simmons has retreated from the spotlight; he hasn't been seen publicly since February 2014. This led to media reports about concern over his well-being, such as a widely read 2016 story in the New York Daily News.

Simmons responded to the report by assuring outlets like The Today Show and Entertainment Tonight that he wasn't being held in his house as a hostage and explaining he "wanted to be a little bit of a loner for a little while" after injuring his knee.

Shore also stars as Simmons in The Court Jester, an unrelated short film from director and writer Jake Lewis set to premiere at this year's Sundance Film Festival on January 19th, after which it will be released on YouTube.

Last year, Shore expressed his hope that Oscar wins by fellow Encino Man actors Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan would spark his own comeback. A standout performance in the Richard Simmons biopic has the potential to accomplish exactly that.
