Hinder will also be performing on the Jimmy Kimmel Show next Thursday, November 6th.

Kid Rock is refusing to go all in with iTunes because he thinks that the service is screwing artists. To date, there?s only a handful of the singer?s works on iTunes. The rocker tells the BBC that artists don?t get paid enough for downloads from the Apple store. He says that the revenue share model is based on ?an old system, where iTunes takes the money, the record company takes the money, and they don’t give it to the artists.? He also says that the internet ?was an opportunity for everyone to be treated fairly, for the consumer to get a fair price, for the artist to be paid fairly, for the record companies to make some money. But they (Apple) stuck to the old system.?

3 DOORS DOWN CLOCK OUT OF THE BOX RADIO HIT
WITH SMASH SINGLE ?IT?S NOT MY TIME?

First Single From New Self-Titled Album Rock Radio?s #1 Most Added
Fastest Moving Active Rock Record in last Five Years

New Self-Titled Studio Album In-Stores May 27

(New York, NY, March 24, 2008) Universal Republic rock icons 3 Doors Down are putting up massive radio numbers with their first single, ?Its Not My Time,? from their soon-to-be released self-titled album, due in-stores on May 27. Their much anticipated fourth studio album has spawned rock?s biggest radio hit of the year so far, with the debut single becoming the fastest moving song at Active Rock radio in the past five years. The #1 most added song at Alternative radio the past 3 weeks in a row, ?It?s Not My Time? was also the biggest Gainer at the coveted rock radio format, leaping from #20 to #16 as it closes in on the prestigious 50,000 mark in digital sales in less than a month of release.
The new CD has already got internet fans buzzing, with talk of other choice tracks such as the adrenalin-fueled ?Train,? and the rousing ?It?s The Only One You?ve Got?, pointing to more milestones from the Mississippi fivesome, from a new album steeped in rock anthems and power-driven radio hits. The follow-up to their #1 debut album, 2005?s Seventeen Days, lead singer Brad Arnold cites this effort as perhaps the most communal band effort. ?3 Doors Down has always been about every band member giving everything we?ve got,? says the singer/songwriter. ?On this album we really wanted to make every song count. We owe it to our fans who have been there to support us from day one.?

Smashing Pumpkins are taking their former label, Virgin Records, to court over their use of the Pumpkins brand. The label, with whom the band split in 2000, allegedly, used the band?s name for promotional activities linked to Pepsi without their permission.

Virgin were allowed rights to sell digital downloads of the Chicago alt-indie rockers, but should not have compromised the band?s artistic integrity by using their name for promotional activities.

Oh dear ? they are in trouble?

Never mind handbags; it was chinos at dawn at Prince Harry?s fave clubbing haunt Boujis at the weekend.

Posh singer James Blunt was charming the starched rugby tops off two posh young ladies when suddenly things turned ugly and one toff bottled another just a few yards away at the London hangout.

Never too posh for a good old drunken brawl eh?

James is used to operating in war zones from his days as an officer in the NATO peacekeeping force. But you don?t know fear until two posh lads start duelling…

Addled Pete Doherty has shown signs of supermodel syndrome, by refusing to get out of bed for less than $60,000. Alright for some!

The dishevelled Babyshambles singer turned down an offer of a one-day fashion shoot, saying the $10,000 fee was nowhere near high enough.

Management for Kate Moss? ex-boyfriend, who reportedly managed to make a profit of just $60,161 in a year and has been offering to do gigs for a mere $200, said the ?bare minimum? would be thirty grand.

It put Doherty, with his yellow teeth and pasty face, on a par with model Linda Evangelista, who once famously declared she would not get out of bed for less than ten thousand dollars.

However Pete is not considered to be worth thirty grand. He?s lucky he is worth thirty quid most days?

The bad boy of Oasis Liam Ghallagher and the good girl of All Saints Nicole Appleton finally tied the knot in a secret ceremony in London on Valentine?s Day. Oh! How romantic! The couple has been together for almost 8 years which has given fruit in the form of a 7-year old son named Gene. Now they can be one big happy dysfunctional family!

The ceremony was small and intimate and was held at the Westminster Register Office. Noticeably absent from the ceremony was Liam?s brother Noel. Maybe his invitation got lost in the mail ? or maybe he just wasn?t invited completely.

Bon Jovi have announced plans for a band documentary, appointing an acclaimed director to helm the project.

Barbara Kopple will put together the movie, as the veteran rockers prepare to embark on their upcoming world tour. The Oscar-winning filmmaker is expected to cut old and new footage together for the currently untitled documentary, which was revealed this week by the band.

Guitarist Richie Sambora said Bon Jovi were eager to be seen in the same wide screen light as some of their rock ‘n’ roll peers.

“We just realized that (over) all the years, we really didn’t document enough stuff. We put out a box set a few years ago, but we look at other bands, contemporaries like U2, even Tom Petty and Aerosmith, and they had cameras rolling all the time. We didn’t have a lot of footage like that going on”, said the star, who admitted the project was “a work in progress”, with no official release date.

Nickelback front man Chad Kroeger was spotted by paparazzi earlier this week but it looks like he?s been bitten by the shyness bug. The rocker actually reminded photographers that he?s a nobody saying that he doesn?t ?sell magazines, so f**k off?. Well that wasn?t very ?rock star? of him. I would have at least expected a photographer to get punched and more swearing to come from him.

Chad?s wanting to be ignored went nowhere though because despite knowing just how worthless he is, he still managed to go home with an SUV full of chicks. Now that?s what being a rock star is about!
