It's "Diva Week" at William McKinley High School, where we learn a diva is "not a trick ass hoe," according to Urban Dictionary. Please read that quote in Emma Pillsbury's voice. Thank you. So first up is Beyoncé's "Diva. " After this week's epic Super Bowl halftime show (during which my beloved Ravens WON!), I don't think anyone should sing Beyoncé but Beyoncé. I do, however, love Marley's purple sequined leotard...I NEED that in my life. Meanwhile, Kurt confesses that sometimes Rachel's singing can be insufferable.

Of the seven charges against Dubai nightclub at the Baltimore Liquor Board Thursday, it was the accusation the club allowed guests to smoke pot that piqued commissioner Elizabeth Smith. On September 2 of last year, police officer Stephen Wilson was called to the club, the former Velvet Rope , for crowd control after rappers Jim Jones and Juelz Santana had performed. Wilson "walked into a visible cloud of smoke that had a strong odor of marijuana," he told the board.

After leading Harford County in scoring last year, Edgewood guard Monica Santana expected to do the same in her senior season.But in an Amateur Athletic Union 18-and-under state championship game last summer, her plans changed. After an on-court collision, she suffered a serious knee injury, tearing her anterior cruciate ligament.Santana remembered running a one-on-one break when her opponent stepped in on her."Her knee just ran into mine and my knee totally popped out," said Santana, 17.She was advised to have surgery immediately to repair the tear, but it would have meant sitting out her senior year in basketball.

Minnesota Twins pitcher Johan Santana took a look around Venezuela and realized the significance of his accomplishment. A nation in political turmoil had people dancing in the streets. Santana, 25, became the first Venezuelan to win the Cy Young Award yesterday, as voters made him a unanimous selection for the American League honor, recognizing a season in which he won AL Pitcher of the Month honors for July, August and September. Santana finished 20-6 and led the league in ERA (2.61)

He's considered one of the best young pitchers in the American League. And he's a primary target for the Orioles if they were to trade shortstop Miguel Tejada. But there's a disconcerting trend surrounding Ervin Santana, the Los Angeles Angels' 23-year-old right-hander, in his first 51 major league starts. Santana, who was offered to the Orioles in July along with shortstop prospect Erick Aybar for Tejada, has pitched terribly on the road. Last season, Santana, who won 12 games overall, was 9-3 with a 3.18 ERA in 14 starts at Angel Stadium and 3-5 with a 7.43 ERA in nine starts away from it. This year, he's 9-2 with a 3.17 ERA in 15 starts at home and 5-5 with a 6.39 ERA in 14 road outings.

MINNEAPOLIS - Minnesotans could be forgiven for feeling a tad overconfident these days whenever Twins pitcher Johan Santana is on the mound, and the Orioles got a feel for this yesterday in the fifth inning of their 5-1 loss at the Metrodome. With Santana on his way to a career-best, 14-strikeout performance, Jose Leon was fighting his way through one of the Orioles' better at-bats of the game. Four pitches in, Leon took a mighty swing and missed, as a nasty Santana slider hit the dirt.

Now that Carlos Santana has rewritten the book on late-career comebacks, what does he do for an encore? The answer arrived yesterday with Shaman, the follow-up to the 1999 pop landmark Supernatural, which sold 25 million copies, spent two years on the Billboard 200 album chart (12 weeks at No. 1) and hauled in nine Grammy Awards. Supernatural was masterminded by longtime Santana mentor Clive Davis, who signed the guitarist to his original deal at Columbia Records more than 30 years ago. The album was designed to get Santana back on the charts by pairing him with a batch of contemporary hitmakers, regardless of how little they had in common with the guitarist's Latin-rock heritage: Matchbox Twenty's Rob Thomas, Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill, Everlast, Dave Matthews.

"And the winner is ... Carlos Santana!" Expect to hear that phrase a lot when the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards telecast airs on Wednesday (live at 8 p.m., on CBS, Channel 13). It won't be simply because the veteran guitarist is the most-mentioned name on the Grammy ballot, with 11 nominations spread across 10 categories. No, Santana will probably make a Grammy sweep because he's the ideal Grammy candidate. To begin with, he's popular. "Supernatural," Santana's current album, has sold more than 6 million copies to date, and shot back to the top of the charts after the Grammy nominations were announced last month.

Cue the Katy Perry music! Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you "Lady Music Week" at William McKinley High. The brainchild of Finn, aka Fetus Face, according to Santana, "Lady Music Week" is music by ladies, for ladies. Fetus Face is worried abut Santana, whom he recently outted in case you missed last week's episode. But basically, Finn wants Santana to know there's a group of people who love and accept her no matter what. Blaine and Kurt kick off "Lady Music Week" with a halfhearted rendition of Pink's "Perfect," which is a pretty kick-butt anthem, if you ask me. But, seriously, can we talk about Kurt's asymmetrical one-sleeved sweater/shawl/cape thing?

First baseman Mark Reynolds was out of the starting lineup Sunday for precautionary reasons after he was hit in the head by Los Angeles Angels pitcher Ervin Santana in the third inning of Saturday night's game. Reynolds said Sunday morning that he felt fine except for a sore spot above his left temple. He also left no doubt that he feels Santana hit him intentionally in his first at-bat after he slammed his 34th homer off the Angels right-hander. "I think he hit me on purpose," Reynolds said.

The Indians have come back to the pack because Shin-Soo Choo and Carlos Santana failed to pick up the slack when Travis Hafner was sidelined. They entered the weekend 8-13 since Hafner went out, averaging 1.4 runs in the 13 losses. They promoted rookie Cord Phelps to play second base because Orlando Cabrera is hitting .213 since May1. … Mets President Sandy Alderson, a former first lieutenant who spent eight months in Vietnam, is making a big impression by taking time to visit Veterans Administration hospitals during his baseball travels.

ANAHEIM, Calif. - - There is nothing temporary about David Hernandez's spot in the Orioles' rotation anymore. With Koji Uehara not returning until at least September if at all this season, Hernandez will get the ball every five days and an opportunity to show he belongs in the organization's future plans. Pitching with confidence and poise at a place where his team rarely wins, Hernandez provided a much-needed quality start in the Orioles' 6-4 victory over the Angels in front of an announced 39,104 at Angel Stadium.

Couple in hospital after motorcycle crash A husband and wife who crashed while riding a motorcycle on Route 29 in Columbia on Saturday afternoon remain hospitalized, authorities said. Shortly before 2 p.m., Timothy Danaher, 55, was operating a BMW R75/6 motorcycle with his wife, Diana Danaher, 52, as a passenger in the southbound lanes of the highway, near Seneca Drive, according to Howard County police. For an unknown reason, Danaher veered to the left and struck a guardrail. Both he and his wife were thrown off the bike, police said.

Repertory cinema continues its run at the Senator Theatre this weekend, with filmed appearances by The Beatles, the living dead, the first actress ever to win an Oscar and Carlos Santana. Janet Gaynor, who won her Oscar in 1929, stars in William Wellman's 1937 A Star Is Born (remade under the same name in 1954, with Judy Garland, and 1976, with Barbra Streisand). Shot in glorious Technicolor, at a time when color was still a relative rarity in Hollywood, the movie offers Gaynor as Vicki Lester, a struggling actress whose career is nurtured along by her mega-star husband, Norman Maine (Fredric March)

NEW YORK - The New York Yankees started another postseason the way they finished the last one: unable to get a clutch hit and frustrated by the hottest pitcher in the game. The Minnesota Twins' Johan Santana stepped on the diamond that Josh Beckett called his own last Oct. 25 and accomplished a similar feat, shutting out the Yankees, 2-0, in Game 1 of the American League Division Series before 55,749 at Yankee Stadium last night. The Twins send Brad Radke against Jon Lieber in Game 2 tonight.

James Santana left New York a decade ago, but much of his hometown is ingrained in him. It is not only in his accent but also in his upfront personality. A former telephone repair technician who jokes that the closest he came to police work in his previous life was "fixing their phones on Rikers Island," Santana was recently hired by the Howard County Police Department as the agency's first Spanish- speaking civilian interpreter. "There's definitely a need," Santana, 58, said one recent afternoon, sitting in a conference room at police headquarters in Ellicott City.

Mets' Santana says he could miss opener baseball New York Mets ace Johan Santana said his Opening Day start April 6 at the Cincinnati Reds might be in jeopardy as he continues to battle tightness in his left elbow. "We have 162 games," Santana said yesterday in Port St. Lucie, Fla. "What we have to accomplish takes 162 games. ... It's tough to say right now." Santana met with general manager Omar Minaya and manager Jerry Manuel to discuss a plan of action for his ailing elbow. The left-hander said doctors have told him an irritated triceps tendon is causing the discomfort.
