On the U2 Web site, Bono said he would donate his winnings (about $4,500) to the Irish charity Concern . . . QUOTED: 'N Sync's Lance Bass, 22, to CosmoGIRL: "I have huge patriotism. If I was called today, I would totally go. I would be a great soldier. I can outsmart the enemy. I know how to shoot a gun. I'm a good shot!" . . . BUSTED: Country star Deana Carter, 35, was arrested and charged with drunk driving Friday morning, Nashville police said. According to the arrest report, the "Strawberry Wine" singer was stopped for driving 48 mph in a 30-mph zone. The officer said he smelled alcohol on her breath, and she failed a field sobriety test, then refused a breath test. She was taken before a night court commissioner and released . . . DIED: Comedian FOSTER BROOKS, 89, whose "Lovable Lush" drunk act helped raise the spirits on "Dean Martin's Celebrity Roasts" and "Mork & Mindy," died Thursday from heart trouble.

Emmy-winning ESPN and ABC interviewer DICK SCHAAP, 67, died Friday from complications after hip surgery.
