London -- Director Alan G. Parker says his new U.K. film "Who Killed Nancy?" makes a strong argument that punk rocker Sid Vicious didn't stab Nancy Spungen to death.

Spungen, Vicious' 20-year-old girlfriend, was found dead Oct. 12, 1978, at New York's Chelsea Hotel, where she and Vicious had been staying. Vicious, bassist for the Sex Pistols, was arrested, but died of a heroin overdose Feb. 2, 1979, at age 21, while awaiting trial for Spungen's slaying.

Police reportedly closed the case on Spungen's death when Vicious died.

Parker told the BBC Vicious's mother, Anne Beverley, asked him to clear her son's name in 1985 when he was working as a music journalist. He has since written two books about the troubled musician.

"I think this film had to be made from about the day that Sid's mother died in 1996," Parker said, explaining he saw the request as Beverley's "last wish."

New York -- Singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb and TV music coordinator Roey Hershkovitz were married Saturday evening at a New York restaurant, The New York Times reported.

Rabbi Andy Bachman presided over their nuptials at Brasserie 8 1/2.

Loeb, 40, has produced eight albums and Hershkovitz, 30, is music director of the television talk show "Late Night With Conan O'Brien."

Loeb and Hershkovitz met in late 2006 and were smitten while discussing a television pilot Hershkovitz was pitching at a meeting in Los Angeles, the Times said. That led to a dinner date in New York and eventually they began spending time together.

Their relationship survived a six-week breakup and Hershkovitz's proposal to her last November in front of a fireplace at the Maritime Hotel included pink champagne and a boom box playing their song, "All Night Long" by Lionel Ritchie, the Times said.
