Tim McGraw gets MAD!
Tim McGraw got fired up on stage Tuesday night, personally ejecting a fan for causing a ruckus in the front row of his Washington show.
During the scuffle, which was videotaped by a fan, McGraw shouted, "Get rid of this guy, security!" before dragging a heavy, middle-aged man onto the stage with the help of three crew members and threatening him with a clenched fist. The fan was then escorted off-stage.
Explaining the country superstar's rowdy behavior, McGraw's rep issued a statement saying, "A man rush[ed] to the front of the stage. This overly aggressive fan attacked a female fan, and Tim witnessed this incident. Tim called for security, but when they could not respond quick enough, Tim and several crew members removed the fan from the audience. He was then turned over to the local authorities."
It's not the first time McGraw has fallen foul with over-excited fans. Last year, a female concert-goer grabbed his crotch as he performed, prompting his wife and co-headliner, Faith Hill, to go on the offensive. She shouted to the fan, "Somebody needs to teach you some class, my friend!" - and became an instant YouTube sensation.
World's Ugliest Dog
PETALUMA - A bald, three-legged, one-eyed dog has been named the 'World's Ugliest Dog' at the 20th annual contest held at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma.
Gus, a Chinese-Crested, was named 2008's ugliest dog at the Friday contest, according to fair officials. He competed against 11 other dogs from all over the U.S., winning in the pedigree-class category and then going on to triumph in the overall competition.
He took home two trophies and $1,600 in prize money, which his owners are going to put toward his radiation treatments. Gus has skin cancer, which led to the amputation of one leg.
His missing eye is the result of a fight with a tomcat, fair officials said.
