*Fresh from his acting debut Wednesday as Flavor Flav's brother in "Under One Roof," Dallas Cowboys star Terrell Owens is scheduled to man the airwaves of syndicated radio's "The Ride with Doug and Dede" show today as part of its Celebrity Take Over. Held each Friday, Take Over allows co-hosts to put their personal stamp on the show by taking calls and picking songs they want to play. Jill Scott and Bobby Brown were previous guests this month. "The Ride with Doug and Dede" streams live at www.DougandDede.com.

*Amy Winehouse will not face charges over video footage that allegedly shows her taking drugs. Spokesman Chris Goodman said UK police had finished their investigation and confirmed no charges would be brought against the 24-year-old. The January video appeared to show her smoking crack during a party at her London home. Police began investigating after photos from the footage were published in London's Sun newspaper.

*Radio personality Tom Joyner has written a cookbook titled "47 Healthy Soul Food Recipes," designed to educate the African American community about stroke prevention by highlighting healthy soul food dishes. The 100-page booklet, for $3.99, features such dishes as warm dill potato salad, family reunion black-eyed pea salad, Jamaican jerk shrimp and vegetable kebabs and a blackberry-pear crisp with only 195 calories. It also includes resources, tips and charts loaded with information to help fight against cardiovascular disease and stroke.
