Music

Daily dish: Sheryl Crow gets some revenge

By TIMES WIRES
Published October 17, 2006


Photos from John Mayer's concert with Sheryl Crow in Tampa on Thursday are featured prominently on the melancholy singer's blog. You can't miss them. They're the ones of Sheryl in a lilac bikini. Seems fans at the Ford Amphitheatre were treated to Sheryl's revenge for John's prank the previous night, when he dressed in a bear costume for their duet. The hoochie mama moment is chronicled by juxtaposing the bikini pics along with an earnest mission about being a student of music.

More to view

The creators of Nip/Tuck are working on a drama to star Rosie O'Donnell as grating lottery winner Dawn Budge, whom she's been playing in a guest role this season. (She's the one who paid $100K for a roll in the sack with Julian McMahon's character. She's back in tonight's episode for medical attention after being "earjacked.") "They're in talks to do a show that would film in New York," O'Donnell's rep told the New York Post.
