Buzz Briefs: Tim McGraw, Ben Affleck
Tim McGraw Ejects Rowdy Fan
Tim McGraw stayed true to his tough-guy, cowboy roots at a recent concert in Washington state. He was singing "Indian Outlaw" when he noticed a large man causing a ruckus in the front row, allegedly attacking a female fan.
McGraw stooped down and dragged the man onstage, where several crew members surrounded him. At one point, McGraw cocked back his fist like he was ready to punch the guy. McGraw's rep told People.com that the guy was turned over to local authorities.
Watch the whole incident on YouTube.
It wasn't long ago that his wife, Faith Hill, was involved in a similar situation. A video of the singer calling out a fan for groping her husband quickly made its way onto YouTube.
"I'm from Mississippi, so what I really wanted to do is kick her you-know-what," Hill said during an interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." "You know what I'm saying? I mean, c'mon. I mean, how disrespectful! And plus, it's like sexual harassment."
Feisty must run in the family.
Ben Affleck In The Congo
ABC's "Nightline" tonight will focus on the humanitarian crisis in the Congo. And, Ben Affleck is the correspondent.
He took a "Nightline" crew on his recent trip to Africa with the goal of spreading the word on a story that gets very little attention in the U.S. Affleck's been to the Congo three times in the past year.
He says he went to learn about the war and hunger that have killed thousands of people each month over the last 10 years. And, he wants the rest of the world to know what's happening.
Affleck says since "there is a currency to celebrity, or celebrity is a currency" he wanted to put it to good use and not squander it. He hopes people will be moved to help.
The essay airs 11:35 p.m. Tonight on ABC.

Bill Murray's Divorce Finalized In SC
A judge in Charleston County signed off on the divorce agreement June 13, barely a month after Bill Murray's wife of nearly 11 years, Jennifer Butler Murray, asked for the separation.
The couple's four children will live with their mother, while the 57-year-old actor-comedian will have visitation rights and pay child support, according to court papers. Jennifer Murray also will get their home on Sullivans Island, S.C., and a second house in Hemet, Calif.
Other documents detailing the divorce were sealed at the couple's request. The court papers were first obtained by the Web site TMZ.com. In her original complaint, filed May 12, Jennifer Murray alleged that her husband abused her and was addicted to marijuana and alcohol.
The Post and Courier of Charleston obtained the complaint and attached prenuptial agreement before they were sealed. The prenuptial agreement requires Murray to pay his ex-wife $7 million within 60 days of the divorce.
Mindy McCready Arrested For Violating Probation
Tennessee authorities accuse the 32-year-old country singer of falsifying her community service records.
