Gwen |
AP reports: Gwen Stefani had to rush from
the stage to the podium so quickly that she didn't have time to find out
which award she had won at Tuesday's ceremonies.
As soon as the singer had concluded a sweaty,
beat-booming set with rapper Pharrell, her name was called as favorite
pop-rock female artist.
"What did I win?" asked the former "No
Doubt" singer as she ran up to accept her first American Music Award. [It
wasn't for sell out of the year, she won that dishonor a couple years ago.

| U2
Eternal |
hecklerspray reports: OK, OK - Bono didn't
say that U2's music will annoy people for 100 years. Bono said that U2's
music will still be around in 100 years. But it won't get any less annoying,
will it?
In an interview with American TV show 60
Minutes, Bono also took time out from blowing his insufferably smug trumpet
to announce that he doesn't intend on retiring from music any time soon.
Great - it never rains but it pours.

Whitley, 18, of Belgium, whose voice could occasionally be heard in the
background of Chris's records over the years, as well as on stage with
him. He is also survived by his brother, singer/guitarist Daniel Whitley
(who contributed guitar to several of Chris's albums); his sister, Bridget
