A Motown superstar is in line for a special honor. Stevie Wonder is getting an honorary degree from Fordham University in the Bronx. The one-time child prodigy who's churned out 32 number one singles will be honored at Fordham's 178th commencement ceremony tomorrow. Stevie will be awarded a Doctorate of Humane Letters degree. The University's president says Stevland Hardaway Morris...that's his real name...is a natural choice because he's entertained and inspired so many for six decades.

Aquaman himself will host Discovery Channel's annual Shark Week. Jason Momoa has been tapped as Master of Ceremonies for the 35th edition of the popular week of programming. The actor said Shark Week is a chance for him to learn and share his connection to the underwater predators. He added that his love for sharks started long before he became Aquaman. Shark Week is set to air in late July, while Momoa will reprise his role as the king of Atlantis in "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" this December.

Early Wednesday morning, the Washington County Sheriff's Office in Oregon says a deputy clocked a driver going --would you believe, 176 miles an hour on Interstate 5. When the BMW M3 pulled off the highway, deputies blocked it in and arrested the driver. 19-year-old Milo Schneider apparently felt he wasn't getting enough credit; he told the deputies he actually reached 183 miles an hour. Schneider is charged with reckless driving. He could face over a thousand dollars in fines.
