| POP: BEYONCE' DIDN'T NEED A BIG PRODUCTION FOR HER WEDDING DAY |
UNDATED (AP) -- Beyonce' says her wedding to Jay-Z was low-key, because she didn't need to be the center of attention.

She says they have matching tattoos of the Roman numeral four on their ring fingers under their wedding bands. Why four? Her birthday is September 4th, his is December 4th and they were married April 4th.
| HOT AC: CASE DELAYED FOR BARENAKED LADIES SINGER |
TORONTO (AP) -- Barenaked Ladies singer Steven Page will wait a little bit longer to appear in court on drug possession charges. Page was scheduled to be in court in Fayetteville, New York, on Tuesday. However, his lawyer, Mark Mahoney, tells The Canadian Press the case has been delayed until October 28th. Mahoney says it's taking some time because there are three defendants and three lawyers, but there's an ongoing dialogue with prosecutors on how the case could be resolved. Page was arrested July 11th after police say they found him in an apartment with cocaine and marijuana.

| ALTERNATIVE/POP: FLOBOTS, A TRACTOR AND A PRANK |
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- One thing Flobots have learned about rock and roll: it's not easy to shock people. Bassist Jesse Walker says they played a festival in Denver and for some reason they were supposed to do an interview in a tractor silo. He says Nathen Maxwell, the bassist for Flogging Molly, happened to come by, so he and Walker had an idea: hijacking a tractor. They drove a tractor around the backstage area around buses and trailers and no one said anything. Walker says, "It's just par for the course, apparently." <
