The singer will launch the effort with a six-hour radio special to be broadcast during Labor Day weekend, her publicist said Wednesday.

When former Vice President Dan Quayle heard that a museum was to be built in his honor, he was, by all accounts, amazed and humbled. After all, it's not every day that a living vice president is so honored.
Quayle liked the idea well enough that in addition to such items as a golf bag and his fifth-grade report cards, he donated $50,000 from his former Senate campaign fund to the project, located in Huntington, Ind., his hometown.
The onetime favorite whipping boy of late-night talk show hosts, Quayle is to many in his hometown a symbol of the local boy who made good.

I don't like being interrupted at dinner, and I don't particularly like meeting new people," the radio-TV talkmeister tells U.S. News & World Report in a cover story this week. "So I don't act like I'm interested in meeting new people. That's when I clam up." Ah.
