3 Doors Down recently held its annual benefit concert in Biloxi, Mississippi, and now that the numbers have started to come in, organizers tell AL.com that the event raised at least 200,000 for charity. Proceeds go to The Better Life Foundation, an organization founded by the band, which helps Gulf Coast nonprofits, particularly those that benefit children. The event featured a concert by 3 Doors Down and special guests, including Aaron Lewis of Staind, and a silent auction of music and sports memorabilia. More money could be coming in through an online auction at CharityBuzz.com that winds down December 21st. Some items are still up for grabs, including a VH1 cruise package and concert ticket packages that include meet-and-greets with acts such as Maroon 5, Paramore and Barenaked Ladies.
Video game company Activision has filed a countersuit against No Doubt, claiming that the band knew that Gwen Stefani's avatar would be able to be used with other artists in Band Hero. In November, No Doubt filed a lawsuit against Activision, saying the band was "mortified" after finding out the band members' avatars could be used to to perform tracks by any of the other acts in the game. But according to the Los Angeles Times, in the counterclaim, Activision says the the game's "unlockable avatars" were "publicly known," and the band should have been aware of them. The company also says No Doubt breached its contract by not taking part in promotion of Band Hero
