And he paid $212,000 for the spell. Yes, $212,000.
For that kind of money, the fortune teller must've convinced him it was one HELL of a spell. But it wasn't. The woman did NOT fall in love with Jose.
So last week, he went to the fortune teller to demand a refund. And he really DEMANDED it . . . he and a few friends broke into the fortune teller's house and tried to FORCE her to pay the money back.
The cops got there quickly and arrested all of them.
If you're wondering where Jose got that kind of money from . . . he's a crook. He used to be the president of a soccer team in
DARIUS RUCKER'S hit "Wagon Wheel" is a cover of a song by the bluegrass group OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW. No big deal, Darius has been giving them props.
But some racist coward on Twitter didn't think Darius had the right to record the song at all. The idiot sent Darius a Tweet that said, "@DariusRucker. Leave country to the white folk."
Darius was beyond shocked. He responded, "Wow. Is this 2013 or 1913? I'll take my Grand Ole Opry membership and leave your racism. Wow."
He had a tough time letting it go too. A little while later he hit up Twitter again and wrote, "Gotta go to bed. This has been hilarious tonight. If any hater thinks I care what you think. I don't make music for you. So don't listen."
The original Tweet was from the handle "pqkullman". That account has been deleted.

Turns out it all depends on what chart you follow. We based our report on "Billboard's" Top Country Songs . . . but the "Sixty for Sixty" campaign didn't limit themselves to that.
They're saying the campaign WAS a success and they cited the Mediabase chart, which measures radio airplay. "Give It All We Got" DID hit the top of that chart . . . because it was the MOST PLAYED song on country radio last week.
Either way, George remained gracious with his words. He said, quote, "As always, I'm thankful to the fans and country radio for their support on all 60 of these number one songs as well as my entire career. They are the ones who made this happen."
George's "Sixty for Sixty" milestone got tons of love on Twitter. You can check the posts here.

And who can we blame?
According to a new survey, men are now almost TWICE as likely as women to want a big, over-the-top "fairytale wedding."
In the survey, only 9% of women said they would spend their savings to have a massive dream wedding . . . versus 16% of men.
The survey also found 9% of engaged couples are planning to delay their wedding because of the cost . . . and 13% are thinking of asking guests for money toward the wedding instead of gifts. (Daily Mail)
