THE OFFICE -- DUNDER MIFFLIN PAPER "FOLDS"
NEW YORK (AP) -- Dwight married Angela. Michael comes back as Dwight's best man. Pam and Jim leave Scranton, Pennsylvania for Austin, Texas -- and Creed Bratton is weird. OK, so you didn't need last night's finale to know about Creed, but the end of the NBC workplace comedy helped tie up those other loose ends. Last night's episode ends the show's 8-year-run. Michael Scott -- played by Steve Carell -- returned for the finale. He ends up subbing for Jim as Dwight's best man when he ties the knot with Angela. That gave viewers the another chance to hear one of the show's many enduring catch-phrases. When Dwight tells Michael he thought he'd never come -- to the wedding that is -- the predictable reply was: "that's what she said."
"The Office" first aired in 2005. It was based on the British comedy of the same name, which starred and was co-created by Ricky Gervais.

CANDICE GLOVER WINS "AMERICAN IDOL"
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Twice rejected, once a champion. That's the story for Candice Glover -- the latest winner of "American Idol." The 23-year-old singer with the powerhouse voice seemed not to believe the words she heard when Ryan Seacrest announced that she was the winner of Season 12. Glover auditioned twice before for the show before getting accepted her third time around -- and she went on to take the title. The runner up this year is Kree Harrison, the country singer from Texas.

RANDY JACKSON BOWS OUT OF "AMERICAN IDOL"
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- You wouldn't know it from all the behind-the-scenes talk that producers were trying to pry him from the judges' table. But "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest says if Randy Jackson wants back on the show, he'd be welcome. Last night marked the final appearance for Jackson -- who has been with the show since its first season. Jackson said it has been a blessing and privilege to be part of the show. He says he has been touched by the level of talent of the contestants on Idol -- and hopes that he has helped touch them in some way, too. Jackson says he's leaving "Idol" to focus on his record label and other business opportunities.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -- Reality show star Chad Johnson is in trouble with the law. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of former NFL wide receiver by a circuit judge in Broward County. The warrant for Johnson was issued May 7 -- for failing to report to his probation officer. All of this stems from the situation last fall when Johnson ended up in a scrap with his former wife, Evelyn Lozada. She claims he head-butted her during an argument. Johnson was arrested, she filed for divorce -- and he ended up without a football job. Johnson got a year of probation -- and now that he hasn't reported to his probation officer, the warrant has been issued for his arrest. Meanwhile, Lozada can be seen on the "Basketball Wives" TV show.
BEA ARTHUR TOPLESS PAINTING
NEW YORK (AP) -- How much would you pay for a topless painting of actress Bea Arthur? The answer: just shy of $2 million, if you go by the price paid at auction for the painting by John Currin. The auction was done by Christie's -- but it isn't saying who bought it. The painting was expected to fetch between $1.8 and $2.5 million. The painting was done in 1991 -- and depicts the late TV actress in the buff from the waist up. The auction house says the image was based on a photograph of the actress -- with her clothes on. Arthur won Emmy Awards for her work on "Maude" and "The Golden Girls." She died in 2009 at age 86.
SOAP STAR CHARGED WITH SELLING COCAINE OUT OF HIS HOME
AGOURA HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- A former member of the cast of "Days of Our Lives" is accused of being involved in some real-life drama of his own. Authorities in Los Angeles are accusing Dylan Michael Patton of selling cocaine out of his home in Agoura Hills, California. Sheriff's deputies arrested the actor after getting a warrant and searching his home earlier this week. He was charged with a single count of cocaine possession yesterday. Authorities aren't saying how much coke they seized -- but if convicted, Patton could get up to nine years in prison. Patton played Will Horton from February 2009 to January 2010 on the long-running daytime drama.
O.J. SIMPSON - WHOSE STUFF IS IT, REALLY?
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- O.J. Simpson claimed that when he took items from a pair of sports memorabilia dealers back in 2007, he was only taking what rightfully belonged to him. But an attorney representing the families of his ex-wife and her friend are claiming some of the stuff wasn't Simpson's at all. David Cook is a lawyer who has been trying to get Simpson to make good on the $33.5 million he's liable for in a civil judgment that found he was responsible for the deaths of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Cook claims Goldman's father still has still has ownership rights to nine "game" footballs, should they ever be sold.

KELLY CLARKSON ON HER GREATEST HITS ALBUM
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Kelly Clarkson wasn't so sure about recording a greatest hits album. She says initially she thought she was too young for that sort of thing but, some friendly arm twisting made her reconsider. She realized it was a good opportunity to celebrate a decade of success since her win on "American Idol." It also gave her a chance to record some new material including her new country song "Don't Rush," which she performed with Vince Gill at this year's CMA Awards.

KELLY CLARKSON REFLECTS ON HER LIFE
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- There's one achievement Kelly Clarkson considers bigger than winning the first "American Idol": she fell in love. As Clarkson puts it, "Welcome to Cheeseville!" She's been dating Brandon Blackstock for eight months. Clarkson says it's her best accomplishment because she didn't think it would happen. She says it's like "one of those cheesy love songs," but at some point she'll get mad at him, so she'll write songs about that. Clarkson's "Greatest Hits - Chapter One" comes out next week.

PROSECUTORS ELIMINATE DRUG CHARGES AGAINST BON JOVI'S DAUGHTER
CLINTON, N.Y. (AP) -- Drug charges against Jon Bon Jovi's daughter have been dropped. Prosecutors dismissed drug possession charges against 19-year-old Stephanie Bongiovi and fellow Hamilton College student Ian Grant. Under New York's Good Samaritan law of 2011, someone having a drug overdose or seeking help for an overdose victim can't be prosecuted for having a small amount of heroin or any amount of marijuana. The law intends to reduce overdose deaths by encouraging people to call 911 without fear of prosecution. Bongiovi was hospitalized after apparently overdosing on heroin in a Hamilton College dorm early Wednesday.

PHISH FRONTMAN OPENS UP ABOUT DRUG USE
NEW YORK (AP) -- Phish frontman Trey Anastasio says the lowest point of his life was right before Phish called it quits in 2004 -- because he was a raging drug addict. Anastasio tells Rolling Stone keyboardist Page McConnell had told him for 20 years he had faith in Anastasio onstage, but for the first time he wasn't sure. Anastasio was arrested for drug possession in 2006 and was humiliated that a Phish fan happened to be his jail guard. Anastasio is clean now and says he hates drugs.

THE SUPREMES: FORMER HOUSING PROJECT IN DETROIT TO BE RAZED
DETROIT (AP) -- They most recently were known as the Frederick Douglass Homes in Detroit. But back in the day they were known as the Brewster projects. And that was the place where Diana Ross and the Supremes grew up. Now, the housing project is about to become another memory. Detroit mayor Dave Bing says the demolition of the massive high rise apartment buildings could start early next year. The city has no set plans for redevelopment of the complex where Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson lived before signing with Berry Gordy's Motown Records in the early 1960s. Bing says he knows the former Brewster projects have "a lot of history" -- but has since "become an eyesore."
