Report: Foo Fighters do last show for 'long time'
Music industry online magazine NME says the Foo Fighters have played their "last show for a long time," but an official familiar with the group says it has more concerts scheduled.
As the group wrapped up a gig in Reading, England, on Sunday, frontman Dave Grohl told the crowd the tour, in support of its latest album "Wasting Light," would be its last -- a comment that has set fans in the Twittersphere alight with concern.
But the official says Grohl's comments were misinterpreted. The official said on condition of anonymity that the band has four U.S. shows in September and that after that it will take some time off "after touring the world for a year."
Grohl is the former drummer for the hugely successful band Nirvana.
Updike's childhood home bought, museum planned
John Updike's childhood home in Pennsylvania has been purchased by a group that plans to restore it and turn it into a museum.
The John Updike Society bought the home in Shillington, about 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia, for $180,000 on Monday. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author lived there until he was 13.
The society hopes the 1900 house can be preserved and re-created to reflect how it would have looked in Updike's youth. The Reading Eagle reports organizers will seek donated materials for display.
Best known for his novels chronicling the life of Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, Updike won Pulitzers for two
of those stories, "Rabbit Is Rich" and "Rabbit at Rest." He died in 2009 at age 76.Watchdog: 3,600 complaints over naked prince pics
A press watchdog says it has received some 3,600 complaints over the The Sun's decision to publish nude photos of Britain's Prince Harry.
The tabloid was the only national newspaper to carry the pictures, which first appeared online and quickly became an international talking point.
They captured the third in line to Britain's throne frolicking in the nude with an unidentified woman after what was alleged to have been a game of strip billiards in his Las Vegas hotel room.
Royal officials argued that the photos were a breach of the prince's privacy, but the officials weren't among those who'd filed complaints with Britain's Press Complaints Commission.
That makes it unlikely any action will be taken against The Sun, which said it published the photos in the public interest.
Christina Aguilera: New album is a 'rebirth'
Christina Aguilera is comparing her upcoming album to a "rebirth."
"I've been through a lot since the release of my last album, being on ('The Voice'), having had a divorce," she said. "This is all sort of a free rebirth for me."
Her new album's first single, "Your Body," was produced by Max Martin, who also produced Aguilera's last hit, the Maroon 5 smash "Moves Like Jagger," where she was featured.
The new album, which is without a release date or announced title, will feature fellow "Voice" coach Cee Lo Green and comes two years after Aguilera's lackluster "Bionic," which has sold 310,000 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That album featured electronic and dance-flavored tracks as well as pop ballads; it's her only album to not reach platinum status.
Aguilera will perform the song on NBC's "The Voice" on Sept. 17. The show's third season starts Sept. 10.
