Golfing Hootie, radio stars and jazz at the capitol

BRINGING SEXYBACK:Heyward 5000 is bring sexy back to Columbia since Justin Timberlake isn t bringing his tour here. 5000, formerly of Bolt and Fastest Steed on Earth, and who now plays in Death Becomes Even the Maiden, says his new solo project is called Devereaux.
It s sex-dance-vocoder-guitar-keyboard-phat beatz amazingness, he said in an e-mail.

I have no idea how I ll ever do it live. But it s going to be fun.
Let s hope there s headbands and Spandex involved.

5000 will play all the instruments, and it s likely that I will have a guest celloist. There s already a tracklist, with titles such as Perestroika and NYCT.
FOOUUURR:Tiger Woods is angling for another green jacket this weekend, and Monday is the 13th Hootie the Blowfish Monday After The Masters tournament, which will be held at The Dye Club at Barefoot Resort in North Myrtle Beach.

But will either golf event feature the fun of Golf For Conner, held March 29 at Lexington Country Club?
The tournament that benefited Chris Conner, a local musician diagnosed with lung cancer, overflowed with 40 teams, 160 golfers and erratic cart driving. There was a silent and live auction and a concert that featured Patrick Davis, Danielle Howle, the Blue Dogs Bobby Houck and Hootie s Jim Soni Sonefeld.

(The amount raised has not been released.)
BEST PERSONALITY: The Charlie and Pam Morning Show, which can be heard from 5:30 to 10 a.m.

on WCOS-FM 97.5, has been nominated for best on-air personality (medium market) by the Academy of Country Music. It s nice to know the rest of the industry has recognized them as one of the best in the nation, said L.

J. Smith, WCOS program director. The awards show is May 15.

STAR WATCH:Skipp Pearson will perform Jazz Under the Stars from 7 to 9 p.m. May 25 and 26 on the State House north lawn.

For sure, it will be one of the most peaceful and relaxing evenings of the summer if you bring a blanket and bug spray.
ANNIVERSARY: We lost a great when Charlamagne Tha God left WHXT-FM Hot 103.9 for New York to join The Wendy Williams Experience.

Charlamagne brought a street attitude to the air, and his insightful commentary was both witty and, to some, damaging. Most radio hosts glorify their guests, even if those guests are wack, but Charlamagne exposed plaintive rappers such as Yung Wun, Ying Yang Twins and T-Pain (a Rappa Ternt Sanga ) for the buffoons they are.
Charlamagne, also known as The Dirt Road Don, will celebrate his one-year anniversary as Williams co-host Saturday night at The Coup.

The party also will serve as a model search for King magazine. They re really scouting the next King model, Charlamagne said before going on the air earlier this week.
If you want to throw a hype party in New York, you have to have pull boldface names.

And Charlamagne will have them here. Williams and Delicious (or Deelishis if you prefer Flavor Flav s spelling) the Flavor of Love, winner will host the party, and DJ Frosty will spin. Hip-hop producers Cool and Dre will have their dunks and Chevys ridin high in the parking lot.

You ll need a black card to get in (no, not the unlimited spending card by American Express the one Hot is giving to listeners). If you don t have a card, you can pay at the door. Admission ain t going to be crazy, Charlamagne said.

But the party will be. We ll be looking for you there.
