PEOPLE IN THE NEWS:

Dionne Warwick said a little prayer -- and got her marijuana-possession 
misdemeanor charge dropped on Wednesday.

The state of Florida said the 61-year-old singer completed a pretrial 
program aimed at giving first-time offenders a second chance, so the case 
would be dismissed. Warwick also underwent medical tests to confirm she did 
not have a drug problem.

The Grammy winner was charged in May in Miami when 11 marijuana cigarettes 
were found in her lipstick case. She says she is "puzzled about exactly 
what happened."
