Fall Out Brawl

TuneLab reports: January 7th 2007, Fall Out Boy brought the Friends Or Enemies tour into the Sunshine Theater in Albuquerque, NM. At the end of the band's set they started letting everyone from the crowd on stage. When security finally said enough is enough a FOB roadie still continued to let people on stage which lead to a scuffle between the two. Pete Wentz saw the two fighting, dropped the mic, and started beating the security guard. After the pummel he got back on stage, grabbed the mic and said "That's what you get when you f**k with my friends...f***in' a**hole!" then the band left.

PR reports: GLAMOUR Vice President and Publisher Bill Wackermann announced Glamour Reel Music as an extension of its successful short film series, Glamour Reel Moments. The project aimed at promoting women in male-dominated entertainment fields will now turn to the recording industry.

Readers were asked in the September 2006 issue of Glamour to log on to its website to see, hear and learn more about the three budding female artists, and ultimately choose one they most wanted to see featured in a music video directed by P!NK.
