Woman With Soulful Voice Living On San Diego Streets

Divorce Led To Lotus Sole's Life On Downtown Streets SAN DIEGO --  The story of homeless man Ted Williams and his golden radio voice has inspired many, including a homeless woman in San Diego with an amazing voice of her own. "It's my passion," said Lotus Sole. After the Williams story came to light, local homeless advocates introduced 10News to Sole. Sole said she is drawn to Williams' story. "I think it's very inspiring, considering I have a dream," Sole told 10News. Sole's dream took a detour when she said a divorce left her emotionally crippled and unable to hold down a job. In the past four years, Sole has spent some time in shelters. Mostly, she's slept wherever she could find space -- be it a trolley, benches or pavement. 10News followed Sole to a spot on F Street where she sometimes sleeps. "I feel bad, like I have been kicked in the stomach. I feel less of a person," said Sole. Through it all, Sole said her s

Whitney Houston Flight Crew Threatens ... Fasten Your Seatbelt, Or Else

Image
Whitney Houston  isn't on drugs anymore ... she's just crazy -- and yesterday she almost got kicked off a Delta Airlines flight ... because she refused to buckle her seatbelt. Multiple sources tell us ... Whitney boarded a flight in Atlanta Wednesday afternoon ... and when she settled into her seat, a crew member asked her to buckle up. We're told Whitney refused and "got diva" on the crew member ... until another crew member came over and warned Houston that if she didn't buckle up, she would have to get off the plane. Whitney eventually allowed one of the crew members to grab the buckle and fasten it for the singer -- and the plane was then cleared for takeoff. Sources close to the singer tell us ... Whitney "overreacted a little bit after missing an earlier flight but she's still 100% sober and was on the way to Detroit for her first day of shooting a new movie." It's not right, but it's OK ...  

TONE LOC Collapsed on Stage in Atlanta

Image
Tone Loc  collapsed on stage during a performance in Atlanta last night ... TMZ has learned. Loc's manager tells TMZ he was suffering from exhaustion. Loc was transported to a nearby hospital and given an IV ... but the manager says he is fine now. TMZ received emails from several people claiming to be present at the concert who said Loc suffered from a  seizure , but we cannot confirm this. The manager added ... Tone was merely exhausted from doing 12 shows in the last two months. It does seem curious that doing a show on average of once every five days would lead to such extreme exhaustion. Loc's episode comes just a day after rapper Rick Ross was hospitalized TWICE in one day for seizures. 

INDYCAR DRIVER DAN WHELDON Dies After Massive Wreck

IndyCar Driver  Dan Wheldon  died in Las Vegas today after his car crashed during a massive 15-car accident during the Las Vegas Indy 300. Wheldon's car went airborne after hitting another car during Lap 12, then apparently caught part of the catch fence just outside of Turn 2. IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard announced Wheldon's passing, saying, "IndyCar is very sad to announce that Dan Wheldon has passed away from unsurvivable injuries. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family today." Wheldon won the Indianapolis 500 in 2005 and 2011. He was 33.

USHER Rips His Pants In Front of Bill Clinton

Usher  went to pieces last night while performing at William J. Clinton Decade of Difference Concert in Hollywood last night -- or rather ... his pants did! Don't worry ... nothing blur-worthy happened. Usher's Wedding Off Let's call the whole thing off! Pop prince Usher and his fiancee Tameka Foster have called off their wedding, which was scheduled for today.  A statement released by Usher's publicist, Patti Webster, said, "It was announced today that the wedding ceremony for  Usher Raymond , IV and Tameka Foster was canceled. No additional information will be given regarding the circumstances of the cancellation, but we hope the privacy of this matter will be respected." Usher and the much-older Tameka (he's 28, she's 37) are expecting a baby this fall. No word on whether the couple is still engaged or even together.

UPDATE: RICK ROSS The WING Stop After TWO Seizure Scares

Image
After two in-flight medical emergencies, rapper  Rick Ross  FINALLY made it to Memphis this weekend for the grand opening of a chicken wing joint. TMZ broke the story ... Ross  suffered his first seizure  on a commercial flight, which had to be diverted so he could receive medical care. Hours later, Ross got back on a private jet ... and suffered ANOTHER seizure. The plane was also diverted ... but this time Ross was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. But Ross eventually made it to Memphis ... because Ross' friend,  DJ Khaled , posted a photo last night ... showing the rapper sipping on a drink in front of a Tennessee Wingstop. Khaled noted, "My brother ROZAY!!IS GOOD!!!" It's unclear HOW Ross actually got to Memphis -- or how he plans to get home.
