It was a big week for celebrity watching in town–with Bono, Penelope Cruz, Kanye West, Sean “Diddy” Combs and Spike Lee all passing through. None got quite the reception of OutKast’s Andre “3000” Benjamin (right), who caused quite a stir when he was honored as an emerging artist on Friday at the Chicago International Film Festival. “To even be recognized as a talent in this arena is great because I’m not just this rap personality,” Benjamin told Armour & Co. “Before I started OutKast, I was actually acting on stage. I never took it seriously, though. I guess you kind of just go with the flow.”
