1 Amy LePeilbet Despite the crushing loss in the final, Crystal Lake-native LePeilbet and the rest of the US women’s soccer team made Chicago, and America, proud. And kept their shirts on, to boot.
2 Matthew Lewis The “Harry Potter” star attended the AMC River East premiere of the new movie and then hit the town. Apparently he had a little too much fun at a local bar—those kids really have grown up.
3 Jane Lynch The Illinois native received yet another Emmy nod for her role in “Glee.” Eat it, Will Schuester.
4 Frank Lloyd Wright LEGO announced plans to release a Robie House set. Too bad the dead architect’s the only one who might have a chance at putting it together: It’s 2,726 pieces.
5 Ozzie Guillén The Sox manager made Sports Illustrated’s top-100 Twitter list. Not quite a World Series ring.
This Week’s Biggest Losers:
1 Marilyn Monroe Her new statue in Pioneer Court near Tribune Tower is rapidly becoming one of the most-photographed objects in Chicago. Unfortunately for the long-dead celeb, most involve tourists looking up her skirt. At least she doesn’t have to deal with the antics of Randy Michaels.
2 Rod Blagojevich The ex-governor was forced to put up his Ravenswood Manor house to make bond, and then quickly put it on the market. His sales pitch? “It too is effin golden!”
3 Frank Clark The ComEd honcho faced the fallout of angry customers after the heavy storm left many without electricity. Talk about a loss of power.
4 Max Fleck The Lincoln Parker was arrested after calling police on Thursday to complain his marijuana stash had been stolen. Harsh, dude!
5 R. Kelly Speaking of losing homes, the legally troubled singer was just slapped with a foreclosure on his suburban Chicago mansion. Now he’s putting the blues back into R&B.
