(Newser) – Singer Kid Rock raised the rafters at a sold-out concert to promote his latest CD in Atlanta and then was busted when he and his posse beat up a customer in a waffle house who was chatting up a woman in Rock's party, according to police. He and his five cronies were charged with simple battery, a misdemeanor.

Rock, 36, was released yesterday after posting $1,000 bond. The victim in the fight, who broke a window, was charged with a felony for property damage. Rock is currently on tour promoting "Rock N Roll Jesus," the first of his albums to top the charts in his 17-year career. He describes it as a blend of country, rap and southern rock "hick-Hop."

Home Prices Dive, Indicate Gloomy '12

Case-Shiller Home Price Index reverses 5 months of gains

(NEWSER) - After five straight months of gains through August, many market watchers had hoped home prices were finally trekking northward for good. No such luck: According to the just-released S&P/Case-Shiller Index, home prices fell in 19 of the nation’s 20 largest cities from September to October, bringing the index 3.4% lower than it was at this time last year. And while prices usually trend downward in the fall, the LA Times believes these figures portend a weak market in 2012. More»

(NEWSER) - What US city would dare compete with Los Angeles as the nation's vainest? Turns out LA isn't even in the top 5, Time reports. A new survey finds that when it comes to factors like tummy tucks, liposuction, laser hair removal, and what people see in the mirror, Miami takes the cake. “Vain?
