The Buffalo Police Department are looking into claims of a bar fight involving former Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans player, Eric Moulds who allegedly gave an autograph to an Iraq War veteran by punching him in the face.

WGRZ reports indicate conflicting stories about when the fight occurred, however it is understood that video surveillance camera footage of the fight outside Liars Bar on Chippewa St, Buffalo shows it was Eric Moulds who was in the fight, with the unnamed veteran.

Police spokesman Mike Degeorge would only say that police are investigating an incident that’s said to involve a former Bills player. He also added that a current Bills player was also there at the time but was not involved in any way.

We understand that this current Bills player was Josh Reed, and that both of them were reminiscing ’bout the good ol days, when the veteran went up to tell Moulds how great he was and could he have an autograph? Moulds allegedly responded by punching him in the face.

No charges have been filed.

If Eric Moulds was attempting to sign an autograph someone should tell him he is doing it wrong.

So there you go celebrities, an additional response for autograph hunters beside the traditional, yes, no and sod off. Link To Original Post

Showbiz memorabilia worth thousands of pounds is to go under the hammer in the Black Country – including 150 autographs by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe and Ginger Rogers.

Three collections in all will go up for sale at Fieldings Auctioneers, in Mill Race Lane, Stourbridge, on December 6. People from across the globe are expected to come to the event.

The first collection is the personal archive of one of Britain’s foremost theatrical producers Harold Fielding, who died in 1985.

He put on a string of West End spectaculars during his career including Half a Sixpence, Charlie Girl and Barnum. Items include letters and Christmas cards from Hollywood starlet Ginger Rogers and letters from Marlene Dietrich.

Dietrich appeared in a show for Mr Fielding for the sum of 3,000 dollars – but the letters suggest he was a little slow in sending the money.

One tense telegram, wired on August 11, 1955, reads: “Fielding, Very astonished monies have not yet been received by my bank. This has not been handled as you promised. Deitrich.”

The second collection belongs to rock band AC/DC’s session drummer Barry Scranage and includes 10 previously unseen photographs of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

There is also the iconic stage crucifix used in Black Sabbath’s 1970s tour and session recordings with Ozzy Osbourne.

The final collection is a wide selection of autographs, including a cheque signed by Marilyn Monroe and an early signed photograph of Charlie Chaplin.

The sale will be open for viewing from 9am to 4pm on December 4, 9am to 8pm on December 5 and 8am to 10am on the day of the sale, December 6. Link To Original Post

Sir Paul McCartney has defended his former Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr's decision not to sign autographs.

Starr was widely criticised in October after he told fans to stop sending him memorabilia because he was too busy.

In a video message on his website, Starr said anything sent after October 20th would be “tossed”

McCartney told reporters in London that the drummer had taken the decision because it was “his life”

“Ringo’s always been like that, God bless him. We love Ringo because he just says what he thinks. If he doesn’t want to sign anything anymore then he doesn’t have to,” McCartney said.

“And yeah, he gets in trouble occasionally, but as anyone who has known Ringo as long as I have knows that’s what he’s like. I think it’s a good quality; it’s called honesty actually." Link To Original Post
