Faith Hill scolds fan for nad grab

It's quite simple, really: You don't grab a man's family jewels right in front of his wife and thousands of her diehard fans. Country music is abuzz this week with the incident over the weekend in which a female fan grabbed the testicles of Tim McGraw at a concert at the Cajundome in Louisiana, right in front of his wife and the tour's co-headliner, Faith Hill.

In a video circulating on YouTube and other video sites, Hill berated the woman from the stage, calling her actions disrespectful. "Somebody needs to teach you some class, my friend," a finger-wagging Hill told the woman. "You don't go grabbin' somebody else's, somebody's husband's balls, you understand me? That's very disrespectful!"

Snow Patrol keyboardist excused

Snow Patrol keyboardist Tim Simpson missed a second court hearing in Glasgow, Scotland to face cocaine possession charges today but was excused from the hearing by a judge.

The multiplatinum Irish band is scheduled to perform at the V Festival in Chicago this weekend and will headline the V Festival in the UK in two weeks.

Report: Usher wedding back on track

It was a brief preterm labor scare, not any of the assorted rumors about his pregnant fiancée that caused Usher to cancel his wedding over the weekend, the singer told Us magazine. Usher--full name Usher Raymond--had been set to marry Tameka Foster last Saturday, but the singer and actor said that it's only a matter of time before they walk down the aisle. "As of right now, we don't have a date, but we will let you know when we do."

The couple's wedding was to be held at the Long Island home of Island Def Jam music executive L.A. Reid, who has largely been credited with, well, ushering the singer to stardom. The ceremony was called off at the last minute, but not because of the rumors of Foster's criminal past, resistance to signing a prenuptial agreement, or reported bad blood with Usher's mother.

Usher, 28, and Foster, 37, became engaged in January after a year of dating. The couple announced Foster's pregnancy at the end of June. The baby will be Usher's first child. Foster has three children from a previous marriage.

Young's Greendale heads to comics

Greendale, Neil Young's 2003 film and concept album, will be made into a graphic novel by Vertigo, the publisher of Sandman, Preacher, and Y The Last Man, the publisher said this week during the San Diego Comic Convention. Joshua Dysart will write the novel based on characters and concepts by Young. It will also feature full-color artwork by Sean Murphy.

Greendale told the story of Sun Green, a fictional small-town California teen with a growing urge to reject the political establishment amidst a march to war. "Much like the rest of his creative work," Vertigo's Karen Berger said of Young's involvement. "It's his baby, and he'll have a big hand in producing the book and promoting it later on."

Doherty opens up about Kate Moss breakup, drugs

Unable to communicate with ex-girlfriend Kate Moss personally, Pete Doherty has apparently tried to do so through an interview with UK newspaper The Daily Mirror. The Baby Shambles frontman sat down with the paper for an interview that was printed in two parts over the weekend, saying he was hoping to reach Moss, a regular reader of the paper that secretly videotaped her doing cocaine at a recording studio with Doherty in 2005.

Among a slew of choice comments, Doherty said, "I love her with all my heart. I like the way she walks and talks. I love her bones. I love her brain." Doherty insisted that he did not cheat on the supermodel, as has been alleged, and that he left because he was tired of being on the receiving end of her "awful temper."

Doherty also admitted that drugs have continued to get the best of him over the years. "It's going to take a couple of weeks for me to clean up," he told the paper. "It's been dark. But I've come out of rehab a new man. I'm feeling good, and I'm determined I can beat the drugs. If I had Kate back, then life wouldn't be so bad, would it?"

Berlin names street after Zappa

Frank Zappa fans traveling to Berlin will now be compelled to Sheik Yerbouti down a street named after the legendary avant-garde rocker on the city's east side. The city of Berlin has honored the late Zappa with his very own street. Frank Zappa Strasse, formerly Street 13, lies in an industrial area in the eastern part of the city that was once behind the Iron Curtain.

The street is home to Orwo Haus, a former Communist-era film factory that now provides practice studios for more than 160 bands, according to AP. Bands from the studio worked for two years to make Frank Zappa Strasse a reality and marked the renaming this past weekend with an all-night concert that was attended by close to 3,000 fans. Zappa died on December 4, 1993.
