"DANCING WITH THE STARS"
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Zendaya or Kellie Pickler will be winning the mirrorball trophy. At least according to the judges' scores on "Dancing With the Stars." They both got two rounds of perfect 10s on last night's show. A single point separates Zendaya and Pickler, based on their performances in the cha-cha relay. Aly Raisman had perfect scores on her freestyle too, but not her first dance. The judges also praised Jacoby Jones. But the Baltimore Ravens' star fell short of the rest on his performances. The winner will be crowned on tonight's show.

"DANCING WITH THE STARS"-TORNADO
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Usually the audience is applauding on "Dancing With the Stars," as the show returns from a commercial break. But not on last night's show. Tom Bergeron asked the studio audience to remain silent after one break. He noted they're live and to go to air in the shadow of another tragic event. Last month, it was the Boston bombings. Last night, it was the devastating tornado in Oklahoma. Bergeron says their thoughts are with the victims and their families. Bergeron then asked the audience to applaud the first-responders who were still searching for victims as the broadcast aired.

It also gave her a chance to record some new material including her new country song "Don't Rush," which she performed with Vince Gill at this year's CMA Awards.

PROSECUTORS ELIMINATE DRUG CHARGES AGAINST BON JOVI'S DAUGHTER
CLINTON, N.Y. (AP) -- Drug charges against Jon Bon Jovi's daughter have been dropped. Prosecutors dismissed drug possession charges against 19-year-old Stephanie Bongiovi and fellow Hamilton College student Ian Grant. Under New York's Good Samaritan law of 2011, someone having a drug overdose or seeking help for an overdose victim can't be prosecuted for having a small amount of heroin or any amount of marijuana. The law intends to reduce overdose deaths by encouraging people to call 911 without fear of prosecution. Bongiovi was hospitalized after apparently overdosing on heroin in a Hamilton College dorm early Wednesday.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Phish frontman Trey Anastasio says the lowest point of his life was right before Phish called it quits in 2004 -- because he was a raging drug addict.

MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Usually showing up late for a date will get you a less-than-warm reception. But Rihanna got cheers -- even though she was two hours behind schedule for her performance in Mexico City the other night. She started what's known as her "777" tour with an exclusive party for about 2,000 fans. She thanked fans for their patience, saying their hanging in there until she showed up Wednesday night really made her "feel loved." The concert swing will see Rihanna perform seven shows in seven days in seven different cities. Stops on the tour include Toronto, Paris, Berlin and London before ending up in New York City.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Nicki Minaj has already won a lot of awards during her career. But she says her career isn't about collecting hardware to put in her trophy case. She says the biggest draw for her being awards shows is performing before a live audience at the venue and on TV. She says that's what she will be looking forward to at the American Music Awards on Sunday. She says she has been at awards shows where she totally forgot she was up for a nomination -- until her name was read off as a winner. The way she sees it, if she keeps making good music, the awards will take care of herself. If you should happen to run into Nicki between now and Sunday, you can remind her she's up for four nominations at the AMAs.
Nicki Minaj says she's more excited about performing at award shows than she is at winning trophies.

THE SUPREMES: FORMER HOUSING PROJECT IN DETROIT TO BE RAZED
DETROIT (AP) -- They most recently were known as the Frederick Douglass Homes in Detroit. But back in the day they were known as the Brewster projects. And that was the place where Diana Ross and the Supremes grew up. Now, the housing project is about to become another memory. Detroit mayor Dave Bing says the demolition of the massive high rise apartment buildings could start early next year. The city has no set plans for redevelopment of the complex where Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson lived before signing with Berry Gordy's Motown Records in the early 1960s. Bing says he knows the former Brewster projects have "a lot of history" -- but has since "become an eyesore."
