In 2003, Limbaugh resigned from ESPN's NFL pregame show after he said quarterback Donovan McNa bb was overrated because the media wanted to see a black quarterback succeed.

Rolling On in Rio

The Rolling Stones brought the spirit of Carnaval to Brazil a week early with a free concert before a crowd of more than a million people at Copacabana Beach on Saturday.

Rio de Janeiro deployed 10,000 police officers -- about three times the usual contingent for the annual festival, according to Ana Maria Maia, Rio's subsecretary of special events.

Earlier this month, three people were crushed to death and 38 injured in Sao Paulo when thousands of fans surged through security barriers at an autograph session for the Mexican band RBD .

This is the Stones' third visit to the country but the first time the band has played free of charge in Brazil, where few can afford tickets to see top international acts.

Nick Lachey's Asterisk

In court papers filed Friday in response to Jessica Simpson's Dec. 16 divorce filing, Nick Lachey said he was reserving the right to seek spousal support. Apparently the two did not have a prenuptial agreement.

Lachey cited irreconcilable differences for the dissolution of the three-year marriage.

The 32-year-old also asked the court to confirm that "miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects" are separate property, as well as any earnings after the date of separation.

Lachey insists that day was Dec. 13, although Simpson claims it was Nov. 23.

The famed member of the boy band 98 Degrees had more earning power when the couple wed in October 2002. However, Simpson's fame skyrocketed during the marriage. The 25-year-old singer-actress reportedly earned more than $30 million last year, including income from her big-screen debut as Daisy Duke in "The Dukes of Hazzard."

Last month, the house that the couple lived in during the "Newlyweds" show was sold to "Malcolm in the Middle" teen star Justin Berfield for an undisclosed price.
