If you've got front-row seats for this Summer's Hootie and the Blowfish
concert at Jones Beach, New York, you're out of luck.
Concert officials have voided tickets for the first ten rows.
It seems a scalper got ahold of the tickets and sold them for 150 dollars
each.
Hootie fans who bought the scalped seats will be reimbursed 25 dollars...
the face value of the tickets.

If you thought you heard the last of Joey Buttafuoco, think again... now

SUPER=04-File Tape;
The "New York Post" reports Buttafuoco is moving to Hollywood with his
family to pursue an acting career.
Buttafuoco gained fame when Amy Fisher, his 16-year-old lover, shot his wife
in the head four years ago.
He served four months in jail.
Fisher is serving a five- to 15-year sentence for the shooting.
Mary Jo Buttafuoco says the family needs a fresh start.
She also says they are moving because Fisher could get out on parole next
year.
Buttafuoco has one movie reportedly already in the works.
His agent says he'll play a mafia man in "The Underground Comedy Movie" with
Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith.
