The Detters in 2000, as Wendy receives the Palm Beach Post's Distinguished Law Officer of the Year (Lannis Waters/The Palm Beach Post)

The pending divorce of a husband and his wife, both West Palm Beach cops, spilled into their workplace recently.

The husband, Police Officer Steve Detter, 49, complained that his wife, Community Response Division Sgt. Wendy Detter, 48, searched his workstation for his girlfriend’s phone number then called her — while on duty.

Steve also told the brass he was worried Wendy would confront the paramour in person, and that Wendy has been checking out the girlfriend’s Facebook page from her city-owned computer.

So Internal Affairs got involved. And Wendy — winner in 2000 of The Palm Beach Post’s Distinguished Law Officer of the Year — was found to have used Facebook while on duty.

She faces a three-day suspension.

Wendy told the IA sleuths that she just wanted to print the Facebook entries of the husband’s paramour about romantic trips to use in their divorce. She added that she, not the paramour, is the victim of cyberstalking.

It’s sexy calendar season! A day after the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders, firefighters from Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties unveiled their calendar, which includes 20 beefed up, mostly shirtless guys.

The party, at the Seminole Hard Rock Resort in Hollywood, lured several hundred women who hooted and hollered as the boys strutted their stuff and signed their works of art. (Click here for all the photos)

Since 1992, the calendars raised more than $240,000 for diverse charities. The $17, 2011 edition will raise cash for Here’s Help, a group that provides treatment for teenagers with substance abuse problems, and A Safe Haven for Newborn, which works to prevent the abandonment of children.

I only spoke with New York Yankees great Joe DiMaggio twice, but I’m pretty sure the crusty old guy wouldn’t have approved!

Still, the 15th Annual South Florida Tattoo Expo was expected to raise more than $50,000 for Hollywood’s Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital.

Several thousand tattoo and body-piercing enthusiasts are gathering at the Hilton Deerfield Beach this the weekend to discuss the latest ink trends, enjoy bands and camaraderie and, yes, get some more body art.

Tyler, Monday night at the BankAtlantic Center (Click on the photo for much more)

Aerosmith took over the BankAtlantic Center Monday night in Sunrise for more than two hours of classics, blues, rock and golden oldies. And yes, there was a love fest between frontman Steven Tyler, who recently rejoined the group, and lead guitarist Joe Perry.

At one point, Tyler sang The Beatles‘ Come Together to Perry, then called Perry “My hero!” The axman last week blasted Tyler for agreeing to consider a job as judge on the next  American Idol without talking to the band about it.

But if last night’s SoFla concert proved something, with a runway that extended far from the stage into the audience providing a great platform for Tyler: If Tyler were to end up lending his star-power to a dying reality TV show like AI for one or more seasons, the band can mothball its instruments.

Even at 62 — and showing it — Tyler is such an electric showman that without him, there ain’t no Aerosmith. Which may explain why the band played a spirited soulful rendition of the classic blues tune Baby, Please Don’t Go!

Crazy? Steven Tyler

Don’t assume for a minute that all’s well in the re-formed Aerosmith, which blows into the BankAtlantic Center tonight. (Good tickets are still available)

Band members are getting increasingly restless over frontman Steven Tyler’s bid to become a judge on — Gasp! — the world’s fanciest karaoke contest, American Idol.

“I found out on the Internet like the rest of the world,” axman Joe Perry told the Boston Herald. “We’d like to plan our lives, you know!”

That’s not it. Perry confronted Tyler about AI in the dressing-room after a show last weekend, and Perry said Tyler replied: I’m not allowed discuss it!

“After working with me for 40 years, he couldn’t tell me about this?” Perry said. “Why so secretive?”

Last year. Tyler told the band at the last minute that he’d be leaving to focus on “Brand Tyler.”

I’m told, however, that the on-stage harmony is just fine after the group re-united with Tyler earlier this year. The tour is entering its third week.

Bloody cool fundraiser for the Promethean Theatre, a small troupe at Nova Southeastern University in Davie.

The theater is about to launch its stage production of the horror classic The Evil Dead and has been looking for props (fake limbs, blood, teeth, etc). So it organized the Evil Dead Prom last night at Fort Lauderdale’s Monterey Club, where 100-plus made-up supporters packed the nightclub for a party.

Special guest: Davie resident Taso Stavrakis, an actor/stuntman who has dubious honor of having been the most killed zombie in Dawn of the Dead and other scary fares.

Teen sensation Justin Bieber had the pubescent girls in hysterics last night at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise with his easy pop tunes, including Somebody to Love and Never Say Never.

Three days after former WPBF-Channel 25 anchorwoman Lisa Hayward was arrested for DUI, her husband, Miami’s WSVN-Channel 7 reporter Derek Hayward, ended up seeing the inside of a jail cell on suspicion of domestic violence.

According to the arrest report, Derek, 59, was nabbed by Coconut Creek cops Saturday night after a spat with Lisa as they drove home from a restaurant with their children, sons who are 10 and 13.

An insider tells me the Haywards were arguing about Lisa’s recent arrest when things really got heated up. Derek, who drove, admitted he grabbed his wife by her shirt as she sat on the passenger’s seat, then kicked her and the children out.

He was charged with simple battery, a misdemeanor. There was no evidence he hit her.

Known for his British accent and hard-hitting tabloid-style reporting, Hayward has been a permanent fixture on the SoFla media landscape for 20 years, always at the Fox affiliate.

He and Lisa have been married for 17 years. He once described how scared he was when, in 2008, Lisa stopped responding to phone calls and vanished for several hours after a public appearance. Derek and the Channel 25 brass were alerting police departments alongside I-95 when she popped up about 1 a.m. Her cell’s ring was on silent, and she didn’t realize she’d been receiving frantic calls.

Former WPBF-Channel 25 primetime anchorwoman Lisa Hayward was nabbed by Broward County Sheriff’s deputies Wednesday night after she crashed her car in Pompano Beach. She allegedly had a blood alcohol content of more than twice the legal limit.

Hayward, 39, the wife of Miami’s WSVN-Channel 7 reporter Derek Hayward, suffered minor injuries, a burn to her left forearm when the airbag in her 2003 Honda deployed. No one else was in the car and no other vehicle was hit.

Hayward, now an anchor on the morning show of the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel’s television station, WSFL, was charged with DUI and failure to use due care after she blew a .17 on a Breathalizer test. The legal limit in Florida is 0.08.

The Coconut Creek resident spent the night in jail, missed her TV gig this morning and finally paid her $2,500-bond about noon today.
